We most decidedly do not. For better or for worse, I cut my kids’ hair.
(Please don’t judge based on this photo. I had just started.)
Of course I have no professional training! And it takes me forever, but the labor’s cheap.
And yes, I cut my teenager’s hair, too. So far, so good. But he’s at that age where I had to promise him I wouldn’t post his picture. He’s got me figured out.
He was happy with his haircut, though. So that’s saying something.
As for this little devil?
Still just as handsome as ever.
Changing Subjects: Our Debt Snowball
After working the preliminary budget for January, I have figured $1749.76 will be able to go toward the debt snowball this month.
I’m really putting myself on the line here. Have I mentioned that I’m not really that good with numbers? And that doing a budget is still trial and error a full eight months after starting this snowball?
Yea. The Hubs already came home with something from Home Depot yesterday that I had not factored into the budget. Oh, I’m not blaming him or anything, I promise — no sarcasm, I pinky-swear. We’ve had these bathroom projects going on forever and he needed something to help him get the job done. Preferably before he deploys. I’ll keep you posted. And I’ll update the figure above as it changes. Which I’m sure it will more than once.
At least our haircuts are free.

I once tried to cut Simon’s hair myself and it was awful. It was summer and he was little, like maybe 2. All I was trying to do was shave it with the clippers, and it was so uneven. We mostly use the cheap places, but most of the time they don’t do much better than I.

That’s exactly why I started cutting Conner’s hair! I was like, “I just paid for that?”

lol, it’s just a matter of finding the right person, just like you stated in your last post. Plus, I can testify (as I am a hairdresser and mom to 4 under
that the smaller the kiddo the more they wiggle. But, that being said you just need to find someone that loves the munchkins and can cut hair at the same time…..

Did you know that many beauty schools offer free haircuts to children on certain days? Check your local beauty schools to see if they offer free hair cuts and when. Since the students are under the watchful eye of the instructors beauty schools are the best place to get inexpensive facials, pedicures, manicures and so much more! Like I said, most will offer free services on certain days and to certain customers (seniors, kids, students) but you have to call and ask.
