Hair and hugs
Friday, August 24, 2012 Mac's hairstylist for the past year or so has been Megan. She was the first to cut his blonde locks, and the only one since.
Last weekend, though, Megan decided to take Mac for his first real haircut. One from a pro, at the place where Bubby regularly gets his hair cut.
Things didn't go so well.
Mac hated the cape and screamed and cried in hopes of having it removed.
So they removed it.
Mac then screamed and cried because he wanted the cape put back on.
So they put it back on.
Then the stylist worked quickly on the haircut while Mac worked just as quickly on a sucker.
Despite the tears and the tantrum and the sticky sucker mess, Mac's first real haircut came out looking pretty darn cute.
Forget the hair, though. All I can see in the photo Megan texted to me is Mac's tears and his expression that says, "Why Mommy? Why in the world did you just put me through that?"
I'm pretty sure Megan was thinking the same thing.
My clean-cut grandkiddo clearly needs a hug.
Megan's voice on the phone relating the ordeal sounded like she needs one, too.
I'm willing to bet Bubby—who was on hand to witness the fun—could go for a hug from Gramma, as well. Just because.
Good thing I'm in the desert today. Have no doubt that Mac, Megan, and Bubby are all getting their fair of hugs from Gramma.
Also have no doubt that Mac does indeed look pretty darn cute in his new-but-not-so-fun-for-anyone 'do.
Today's question:
When did you last cut someone's hair—a child's, an adult's, or your own?

Aw, adorable Baby Mac definitely needs a hug from Gramma. So glad you're there to oblige:)
Have never once taken scissors to anyone's hair. My Mom used to cut my bangs and I have the pics to prove it. Need I say more?
Have a wonderful day!
Lisa, he is just so handsome in that "big boy" haircut.
My grand son just got his haircut for the first day of kindergarten.
Does cutting my own bangs count? So sorry this was so stressful for Megan and Baby Mac. It does look so darned cute! Hope you have a wonderful day today handing out hugs! Get a few for yourself, too!
tMac looks adorable but I'll bet he doesn't even care, probably thinks he had a near-death experience.
I cut Jeff's hair at his grandma's house because there weren't enough people at our house...it took three people to hold him down while I did the buzzing. This was for the first two years. Funny, tho', he'd learned to sit still by the time he went into The Marines and got it ALL buzzed off.
Poor baby. My lil guy L is only few weeks older than Baby Mac and by the time he was one he had already had three haircuts. Poor thing.. I wanted to just put a barrette in his hair to keep it out of his eyes. FINALLY mom relented and went to have it cut. He was not too thrilled with it all, but at least he could see again. That poor boy has his mom's and MiMis fast growing hair.
I love Baby Mac's new haircut but it looks like he went thru heck!
I used to cut my granddaughter's bangs and trim her ends but now that she's almost 11 she won't let me near her hair with scissors.
I wouldn't dare cut anyone's hair! But I do think Mac is just adorable, and next time, hopefully, it will be much easier on everybody!
He looks wonderful with his new hair cut. I know that you will give him lots and lots of cuddles.
Would never ever attempt to cut anyone's hair, leave it to the professionals.
nice haircut but LOOK at those BLUE BLUE Eyes....wow :)
Awww! Poor little dude!! :(
I'm sure Gramma hugs helped take his tears away.
But he sure does look spiffy. :)
I just got through cutting my bangs!
I haven't been reading blogs lately, because of "stuff", and I sure missed yours!
Hugs ~
Poor little fella...he sure is a cutie and so handsome in his new hair cut. I have been cutting hair since my kids were little. I still cut my grand kids, mom sister and even my own. I don't think it's so much because I'm good it's because I'm cheap! lol! Have a wonderful week Lisa.
Mac looks so cute with his grown up haircut! My grandsons love lollipops so they don't mind getting haircuts most of the time. I'm glad you were visiting so you could help mac dry his tears!
I've been cutting my husband's hair since we were married --almost 38 years worth! I figured we saved a small fortune that way ...lol! He has curly hair and I found it easy to do..I even have the trimmer to do sideburns and the nape of his neck and the trimmer for ear hair...ick! :)
He looks so darn cute, but a lot more grown up with that new haircut. Our Little Princess had the same reaction to her first haircut. Luckily, Grams was their to hold her while a very patient stylist worked on her hair.
I am known to just pick up the scissors and cut my own bangs. I can't stand it when they start to get long and I can't always get in for a haircut as quickly as I would like.
