He had a typical one year old's head of hair going on, with some long areas, some short areas and general unevenness. On certain angles when the hair at the back of his head was caught on the collar of his clothes, it looked decidedly like he had a mullet. That was the deal breaker.
We were quite concerned about him having a total meltdown when the shiny sharp scissors and the strange lady got close to his head, so we had toys and food on hand to try and distract him long enough. But as it turns out, our super-mellow baby shone through again.
Here is a couple of before shots.
Your eyes do not deceive you, he is actually sitting in a rocket ship. This was a fancy kids hair salon near our place. We decided to go with specialists this first time around. And consequently, we paid specialist prices. We may consider the budget option next time around. It's just hair after all. It will grow back!
The hairdresser cut some locks off of the back of his head to start with and put them in a little envelope for us.
Here is an action shot.
And some video.
When the haircut was over the hairdresser actually put gel in his hair and spiked it up! I realize this seems to be the fashion, at least in ultra-narcissistic southern Orange County. But seriously, gel in a 1 year old's hair? Anyway, here are some after shots (with the spiky hair in front).
Callum received a certificate from the hair salon to mark the occasion.
All things considered, Jen and I were blown away with how easy and uneventful it all was.
