Everywhere he goes, people say, “What a cute little girl!” Even when he’s wearing obviously male clothing~like dinosaur or super hero shirts. Grandson Knox will be 18 months old June 2. His hair has grown long and sometimes wild, so his mom decided [reluctantly] it was time to cut those pretty curls.
Our long time friend and local barber, Russell, did the honors. Knox sat in his grandpa’s lap and got to wear the puppy-decorated cape.
Major dislike for the barber began when Russell wet Knox’s hair and started cutting.
At first he was resigned to the situation. Can you see that teardrop on his sad little face?
Curl after curl came off. His mom saved every one that could be saved.
Then full blown rebellion set in when the barber turned on the buzz clipper.
When the deed was done, his hair was shorter, the tears dried up, and he totally enjoyed the sucker Russell gave him. Now he looks like a little boy. Those curls will most likely grow back. As it turns out, he’s naturally got curl to his hair.
Grandson Elijah was also ready for a haircut. His mom thought he should try a Mohawk. At first, he rebelled against that idea.
The more he thought about it, the more he figured he might like it. So Russell went to work shaping and clipping.
Elijah was a bit unsure during the whole process.
Russell put some styling product in it, blew it dry and made it stand up.
He ended up liking his cut. I think it looks kind of edgy and pretty cool.
Great job, Barber Russell! And I’m so glad Neil and I got to witness this historic appearance-changing occasion. It’s T G I F, y’all! Hope yours was historic.
