I took Addie Kate to get her second haircut at this children's salon, JellyBeans. I have to be honest - I lied and told them it was her first haircut, because then it only cost me a penny! She didn't need much taken off - it just was looking a little unkempt, which drives me insane. I strictly instructed the stylist to just trim that top layer of hair. She followed my directions well!
I thought she would love it - they have cars or animals that kids can sit on instead of the typical chair, but for whatever reason, she freaked out about that and chose to sit in the chair! That was after the stylist gave her a toy, which she loved.
She did great, just like before. She wasn't a fan of the blowdryer. Thankfully, that's not something we have to use regularly (yet).
She did love waiting for her haircut. That place has more toys than I've ever seen. They also have a chalkboard wall - which is on my list to do for her for her next playroom. They have the V-Smile video game systems, and since it wasn't mine or my television, I let her go for it! Then, an older kid came up and asked her (politely, not that it mattered) if she'd quit so he could play it. I told her, not him, that she was fine and she could continue playing (no, she was not actually playing it correctly, but I didn't see where that mattered). Then he came up and asked me if she actually knew how to play. I told him that that was how she learned. I guess he finally figured out that I was a teacher and meant business and he left!
She didn't get her balloon or jellybeans when it was over - I guess because I really wasn't a paying customer. I was fine by that, since she didn't actually see or know that everyone else got them. I did think it was a nice touch though.
I doubt we'll be going back - I'd just rather my stylist cut her hair, that way I know it's going to be cute! I do recommend it for anyone else though!
Below are a few pictures of her while there:
