"T" and his Peeps

Tips for when you have a child who isn't too keen on getting his hair cut....
1) It's all in how you present it...try to avoid saying do you want to get your hair "CUT", kids know when they gut a cut, it doesn't feel great....try using words like, would you like to get your hair "STYLED" or would you like to get a "TRIM"...this really does help!
2) If for the first time, they have anxiety or scream....just skip the cut,don't force it...this is mostly important for the first time...make it a pleasant experience, there is nothing worse for us or them to be put in a headlock while screaming.
3) Try a little peace and calming essential oil..this has worked!
4) Bribes work too, we like bribes!!
5) Let them watch others get their cut, and note how nice and relaxing it is.
AND IF ALL ELSE FAILS....HAVE THEIR "PEOPLE" ALL AROUND THEM, MAKING FUNNY FACES, GOOFY TALK AND DISTRACT THEM ENOUGH TO GET A HAIRCUT IN!

Little "T" with his "people" all helping to distract him, while Kimberlee gives him a "style", not a "cut"..
Notice the candy in his hand, and the candy in his uncles hand:)
He's almost finished! And now everyone is exhausted;)
