Lol. So, I meant to write this post on February 10th, 2024. This was the day after my son got his first haircut. I wanted to post immediate pictures but must have gotten distracted and then forgot about it. Anyway, yes, little Andrei got his first haircut, and it was a pretty fun experience. Thank you to my friend Valerie for making it happen. She did a great job and was extremely patient and careful. This is definitely a necessity when a child gets a haircut because they will move erratically at any time.

You may not need to get your child their first haircut at one years old, but we did. Andrei was born with a head full of hair and we could easily put it in a ponytail by the time he was one. He looked adorable, no matter what, but it was still driving me nuts. My wife and I agreed we would cut his hair once he turned a year old. He looked great after the fact, again, thanks to my friend Valerie. If you are located in the Aurora, CO area, her salon is called Val’s Place in Southlands Mall. Definitely hit it up if you’re around and need a trim. She mainly focuses on men’s hair.

If both the mother and father can be available for the first haircut, I definitely recommend it. Especially if your kiddo is still very young. They will need help staying in one place to avoid any major issues related to sharp objects, if you know what I’m talking about. Bring toys that can keep them occupied and maybe try turning on electrical clippers near them to see how they react to the sound before actually going in.

Getting the first haircut is definitely a great memory and I hope you all enjoy it. Take some before and after pictures to see the difference.
