Nora is just past her third birthday and hasn’t had a real haircut yet. I really love her curly hair. It has gotten so long, but the curls just keep getting tighter so it doesn’t look very long. I have been noticing that the ends looked kind of ratty and it is starting to get a bit frizzy. I knew she was ready for a haircut. But I didn’t want to take her to the local Great Clips. They seem to have a hard time with curly hair. The way I finally got Ian a great haircut was to take him to my hair stylist, Eddie. I decided to do the same for Nora.

We talked about it beforehand and she was really excited. She kept talking about Eddie and was excited to get a big girl haircut.

We got there and she was a little bit shy at first. But Eddie was awesome with her. He just talked to and she warmed right up. He asked her if she wanted to wet it, or wash in in the sink. She wanted to have it washed! It was so cute. She hopped right up into the chair by the shampoo bowl. She got a little nervous when the water went on.

I don’t think she loved the shampooing, but she was excited to sit in the chair to have her hair cut. She jumped right up there and did such a good job of sitting still.

Eddie trimmed off the ragged edges and added a few layers. The layers will help it to curl more and she won’t look like she has a bell on her head anymore. I can’t wait to see how curly it will be in Maui in a few weeks.

Nora’s first haircut was a success. She was excited and was almost perfect in the chair. I couldn’t believe how cooperative and still she was. Hopefully Eddie won’t mind cutting her hair again some time!
