We waited a really long time but a few weeks back I finally broke down and allowed my sweet boy’s blonde locks to be cut for the very first time. It was exhilarating and heartbreaking all at the same time. He went from a baby to a real boy in a matter of minutes…

We chose College Inn Barber Shop, a traditional barber in Salisbury, NC near Catawba College and it was a perfect choice. Everyone was very easy going on no one seemed too concerned about the havoc that is a 20 month old.



The waiting was far easier once Thatch found a friend to play with. The poor ladybug was a little less thrilled.


The very first snip…






Some pretty heavy bribery (3 suckers) and the help of my mom and sister was required to make this haircut happen. I’m so glad they were there with me.




Any barber shop worth its salt has a high powered air hose to play with.
