Country Cut Vs. City Cut

Here is a tale of a Country Hair Cut vs. a City Hair Cut.

Of Finnegan's First Hair Cut vs. his Second.

FINN'S FIRST HAIR CUT
LOCATION: Hayward, WI

OLD TIME-Y NORTHWOODS BARBERSHOP

COST: $15

STYLIST: MAN IN HIS 60's

On a whim while on our September vacation to Hayward, WI, Greta and I took Finn into town, seeking "adventure." I had been talking about taking Finn for his first haircut for awhile...but was so up in arms to cut off his precious curls...which I had hoped he would have SO badly. Well when we came upon this awesome barber shop, Greta and I just took one look at each other and decided that would be it! Finn handled it with flying colors...impressing all of the old men in the shop when he pointed to the mounted deer on the wall and said "BUCK" (as Grandpa Reid properly taught him) He wasn't TOO sure about it, but over all didn't really cry or fret too much. There was a lot to look at and the barber was swift and really sweet with him. Mama teared up a little bit as her little baby boy was quickly transformed in a little BIG boy. Here are some of the photos Greta took of this momentous occasion.

FINN'S SECOND HAIR CUT

LOCATION: Lincoln Park Neighborhood, Chicago IL

Snippet's Hair Boutique for Kids

COST: $20

STYLIST: WOMAN, 30ish? MOTHER HERSELF

Finn's second hair cut was today! Getting him all spruced up for the Holiday season. We took him to this fun kids salon up north. Holy mole-y this place was a riot. As their web site states they cater to the "hard to cut child" and man they weren't kidding. This place had it all. Toys, tons of stuff on the wall to look at. They had video games, TV's, candy! And the chairs! Shaped like cars....whoa. Finn did great, his hair cut is even cuter than the first, and even in just a couple months time he seems older than the first! He is talking SO much. Today when Nick sneezed, Finn said, "Bless You Dada". Bless us indeed! We are blessed with quite the little man.
