A child's first haircut is the cutest thing ever and is also a monumental step signifying the end of babydom. No matter how long we try to put it off, its an inevitable milestone that we all have to face some day. Some parents do it themselves, wielding a small scissors and cutting those tiny locks, while others go for all the bells and whistles of a kiddy salon- yeah you read it right: A kids salon !!!! Chairs that look like trains, or fire engines or airplanes !!!! cartoons on multiple screens !! Lollipops !!! Stickers, plus a fancy toy to take home to.
Technically speaking Anvesha already had her mundan ( hair shaving ceremony ) at 11 months, but I would not call it her first haircut- it was more of a traditional thingy that HAD to be done at a certain time. So by the time she was 28 months she desperately needed a haircut- a professional one. It was time to tame the unruly quaff and repair the uneven growth that only toddlers are privy to. Plus, I was tired of putting it in barrettes and clips to hold them from falling into her face, just to have her pulled out 2 minutes later.

So to get Anvesha prepared for the big day , I started telling her stories of how a princess once cut her hair just to look more prettier. A girly girl that she is, she really looked forward to the "haircut" just to look cuter than ever before :) So I took her to a kids salon named Bratpack kids. Its a salon designed especially for kids and the waiting area has a train table and many dvds for kids to choose from for watching during their haircut. Iam so J !!!!! I wish I had such a fancy salon while I was a kid :(
Anvesha chose to watch the Minnie Mouse dvd and hopped onto the chair and sat gracefully... her little body was covered by a giant yellow cape while her hair was being trimmed and dolled up; making her look like a genuine Gerber baby.... so proud of you Aanu !! I had to plan it though, making sure the appointment is in between mealtime and nap time- that way she isn't hungry or cranky. I went thewir a little early so that ANvesha kind of "absorbs" the surroundings. I would highly recommend Teressa from Bratpack for anyone who is looking out fr their kid's haircut. She is good with kids and Anvesha loved her.
She also got a certificate of her first haircut with a strand of her hair attached to it : how cute is that !!!!
