Haircuts for infants
weeanimal is about 7 months old now and really overdue for his first haircut. The comb-over is past the opposite ear, lol.
Does anyone know a place that will first even cut an infant's hair and secondly do a good job at it? TIA...

tidyThey used to make scissors specifically meant for cutting infant's hair; instead of pointed tips they had what looked like little balls at the ends of the blades.
Of course, this was 30 years ago, but I imagine there must still be something similar.
Do it yourself, it's not like he's going to look in the mirror and criticize your tonsorial skills.
JerryG It's not him I'm worried about; it's his mother, lol. Not a job I'm going to undertake.
save a heap of money?? I don't think iphone-imal is looking for Ted Gibson to give his kid a haircut. most places around here are around $10 for kids. we just went to Jacks and i held my kids on my lap.
darwin If you are willing to take a short drive, there is a place in Rockaway in back of the mall, neat the Target store that specializes in kids cuts. I'm not sure of the name, but they are very good with kids. My grandson was petrified to get his hair cut. He was so hysterical he threw up. But they didn't blink an eye and did a great job. It was a bit more money, but not terribly expensive. They are really good and very patient with kids.

Calico696 I just took my son to Lisa at Turning Heads for his first cut. Although his a bit older than your son, he's 20 months. Anyway, she did a great job and it cost $10.
jrsemom Tanya, I believe the name of the place you're talking about is Snip-its. I just took my daughter there for her first haircut and they were amazing!

Kelly Beck ianimal - I have a nice pair of clippers and some blue hair gel. Bring him on over.
Rebecka Jack's is great for the first hair cut - my son went there for all of his cuts once we moved into town - he went there up until he married and moved away last year....
trekster3- Jacks is where we took our grandson! BUT he was 2! He sat like a big boy I want to see all this hair ianimal pics please?

littlelu Try SnipIts by the Rockaway mall. They cut nothing but kids' hair so they are patient, kind, and do a good job. They will make it fun and distract him.
Good luck
Natalie Both my boys have ALOT of hair so i know what you are going thru. With my 1st son, starting at 1 year, I tried a bunch of places: Bobs on 46 in allamuchy, Old Tyme on 46 in independence, Jack's scissor wiz on main st, hair place next to cvs, my salon, and they all were not horrible but I always found things wrong and i had to fix it anyway not to mention with cut plus tip it was $15-$20 each time. My kid's hair grows so fast I'd need it cut every 4 weeks to stay neat. Long story short I bought a buzzer and now do it myself and get it done by a professional on special occasions.
My advice, do it yourself at this age. At 7 months he most likely is taking naps or falling asleep in your arms after his night bottle? Take advantage of this time and snip the out of control pieces that are bothering you. Or if you found that you missed a piece, do it when hes in the highchair after he ate. Use the baby hair scissors that have the bulbs at the ends. This is what I did until mine was a bit older for a professional. If you do go to a pro, don't go to snip its. Not worth the drive and money for a boys haircut. Also wherever you go, call in advance and ask for someone who is good with a child that young. Also search the forum for old posts, there may be some on this topic to give you more ideas.
Good luck!
km I wanted to recommend Snip-Its but the past year or so my son hasn't gotten good cuts there. He had stick straight Latin hair and though he did have 1 amazing haircut there, the rest have been " little boy layer cuts" and look choppy in a week. I can do a better job myself but he probably wouldn't let me do it. Good luck!
Anyone know a good place for super straight boy hair cuts?
Blackcat Jack's on main street Hackettstown!! Kelly Did a great job with my 2 year old's hair!!
Any other place (besides snip its) where the salon specializes just with kids? Where they can sit on animals, watch cartoons, etc...?

maja Heather, the owner of Spike & Pixie, does a great job. It's a kids' (and adult) salon on Rt. 57 in Stewartsville. My wild child sat perfectly for her for her first haircut a few weeks ago. I was astonished!

LittleWing BUCCI barber shop, Main Street Hackettstown. The owner Jimmy is great with all kids!! He has been cutting my boys since they were 6 mo old!!!
Just went to snip its..Its cute (just for kids which is nice). The haircut itself is ok,i would go back if I was in the area anyways but I would not make a special trip. I'm trying spike and pixie next.
Jack's scissor wiz in hackettstown is where I had my daughter's 1st haircut. Pictures and everything. Highly recommend them!
