Griff's 2nd Haircut

We managed to go 7 months in between Griffin's first and second hair cuts.  Since he screamed through his first one and looked super nerdy with short hair, I wasn't dying to take him the second time around, plus, I just love him with longer hair. The thing that made me finally bite the bullet and bring him in for a snip was a lady in the Y parking lot who said to us, "oh, how old is she?" It was time. Earlier today we brought Griff down to Silver Shears, a local barbershop in Village Plaza, just a 3 minute drive from our house.  Ken was Griff's barber and he did an amazing job.  Griff cried just a bit at the end, but he looked super cute with his new layered hairstyle.  You could tell that Griff was proud of he looked afterwards...

 

Griffin's First Hair Cut

Our adventure of yesterday (1/15/11) was taking Griffin out to Snip-Its in Danvers for his very first haircut.  We've been wanting to hold out to bring Griff up to Maine, where all of the Hendrix men get their hair cut by Ann, but the almost braid-able tail growing on the back of Griff's head told us it was time... Oh the hilarity!  For $14.99 + tip, Griff got a hair makeover in the Disneyworld of north shore barber shops that transformed him from baby to little boy, and we got a certificate documenting the experience along with a mini ziplock full of his little dark brown locks.  All it took was a slightly undersized barber chair with straps, Lovie in hand, 7 minutes of fast snipping and buzzing by Christine, some kid moose and hair spray, and about 10 animal crackers to keep Griff distracted.  He survived the experience with just a few tears.
