First Haircut

Before the trim

Cutting off the curls

The final result

Margie Grace and Ms. April

Last month Margie Grace got to experience another first in her short, young life: she got her first haircut! I have been debating about getting it cut for a while but just couldn't bring myself to trim off those bouncy baby curls at the end of her long, auburn mane. But over the summer I had noticed that as her hair was getting longer, the curls were getting more and more straggly. I knew I was taking a chance that once they were cut off, the curls might not come back but I finally decided, after fighting with one to many tangles, that it was time for a trim. I took Margie Grace to see April, who cuts my hair. April has a little boy who is a few months younger than Margie Grace so I knew she would be super sweet with my little one and understanding should fears arise. I happened to have my hair cut the week before her appointment so I brought MG with me to the salon to check out the process. She was a bit apprehensive but by the time her appointment rolled around, she was really excited. She did great in the chair as "Ms. April" trimmed her hair and gave her a good, professional shaping up. I think the result is a super cute cut that fits a super cute little girl :) Margie Grace did so well at the salon and ever since our visit has enjoyed playing "beauty shop" at home!
