Gotta kid who needs some grooming? Kids haircuts are actually FUN at YELLOW BALLOON

September 4, 2010

It was time.  After all, my daughter is four and a half and the only time I cut her hair was to get some mysterious sticky material out of it when she was around 2.  It was a disaster.  Disheveled, uneven, un-tamable. Not to mention the texture had gone haywire from all the odd lengths – straight on top, curly on the bottom (?!).  We were in dire need of professional help.

Seeing as Aria doesn't like me to even touch her hair without a lot of coaxing (bribing), I could not envision this fantasy professional cut ever happening.  

And then we found THE YELLOW BALLOON.  A family owned biz in it's 25th year of making children far and wide (it's in the Valley and peeps in my hood over the hill told me it's the only place to go) look presentable all the while having a blast doing so.

Aria was greeted with candy and toys (hey, whatever it takes) and every girly princess thing imaginable. Watch out feminist moms, your daughter will be shedding sparkles and glitter more than a pageant kid for days, but who cares – they got the job done.  And seeing that for Aria sparkles and glitter make the world go round, it was one of her most fun days of the summer.  I was in shock as my squirmy-get-your-hands-off-my-hair kid sat there dutifully, nary a tear on cheek, as Sabrina performed her magic on her nappy head. Aria in turn fake blow dried a giant Barbie head on her lap while inhaling Twizzlers.  'Twas a vision to behold. 

And there are several awesome deals.  A Baby's First Haircut thing that saves a lock, takes a photo and all that kind of stuff.  Another one where mom's can get their roots done for free if you buy your kid a haircut. Etc.

The place is jam packed with fun stuff to keep your kiddies movin' and groovin' and in the mood.  It's like Willy Wonka for haircuts.

We got a hole punch card where you buy a bunch of cuts and get one free.  Like my Angelina Yogurt card!

Oh, and of course, we came home with a big yellow balloon.
