Nola's First Haircut


Nola's hair was getting straggly at the ends so I told Jay I was taking her for a trim. He said, "Well I'm coming!" Many of our friends recommended a place called Snip-Its. They are extremely kid-friendly and really make the experience fun for kids.
When we first got there Nola kept saying this place is nice. "Do they fix things here? What did we bring to fix?" I didn't tell her exactly what we were doing there because she told me several times that she didn't want to get her hair cut. All of a sudden, she realized that they cut hair there and she screamed, "GET ME OUT OF HERE!" She started screaming and crying. I was trying to calm her down but it wasn't working.
When they called our name, we walked over to the station and Nola continued to scream and cry. She would not sit down and kept climbing up my chest. I was COVERED in hives from head to toe. You would have thought we were poisoning her. I am blaming this whole thing on Jay because he brainwashed Nola to never get her hair cut.
I was about to walk out but I asked the girl to just let me know if she thought Nola's hair really needed to be cut. She said it wasn't bad but just started trimming it while I was holding Nola.


Nola started to calm down but still wouldn't sit in the chair. I was bribing her with everything. Moe's, a new car..nothing worked.

Jay and I kept talking to Nola to keep her calm.


It was working...finally...I told her if she sat in the chair I would let her get her nails painted.

It worked!
They took Nola's picture and gave her a certificate with some of her hair. It was a really cute experience. She even got to put a card in a slot and get a prize.

Drama Queen getting her nails done!

Final Words on the way out: "Mom that was fun. I'll do it again!"

REALLY?!
