Nathan's first haircut was 3 minutes and 40 seconds of screaming and tears. His second hair cut was 15 minutes of cajoling, singing, and pleading followed by 5 minutes of screaming and tears. Three weeks later, he needed another one and I just didn't have it in me to take him to the salon again.
Enter YouTube and Sally's Beauty Supply. After watching eight different videos online, I bought the cheapest pair of shears and worked up my confidence.
