Haircut diagnosis

I totally agree clippers are definitely the best way & a lot less stressful

I have found that barbers are less nervous than hair dressers and seem to handle oddities more. We have found an understanding barber who letsmy son play on his ds for the whole cut, that way we can avoid the years and wriggling. Oh and we have found that using the clippers is much less distressing than attempting a scissor cut.

No problems thank goodness. Just a wriggly girl. 

Hi..We took our 4 yr old so to have his haircut once at a hairdressers & to say the least it was not a very nice experience for both our so & us.. So afterwards i said that i would  cut his hair, bareing in  mind whenever i cut his hair it is a grade 4 or 5 all over which suits  him. First off i had a pair of plug  hair clippers which would take anywhere up to 3- 4 hrs to cut his hair as he would just wonder off. But now i have a par of cordless clippers & if he decides to go on a walk about, then i can just follow him & it takes 1/2 hr to get his hair done. Which for us is a win-win situation without any complete meltdowns or tantrums thrown in.... Oh & it saves us money.lol

We were so lucky to hava a fantastic school. One of the teachers took him to her hairdressers near the school. It has taken about 2 years and a few haircuts in the salon kitchen to get rid if the Albert Einstein look! He now lets me use the clippers at home even if it does cost me a new thomas train everytime! 

Find a hairdresser who's also a contortionist. Ours is. 

Had 7 years of my son hating having his hair cut didnt matter what we did. But the last time i cut his hair he sat quietly no tears or anything lets hope it is the start of things to come x

My seven year old son had all sorts of behavioural issues around haricuts. Now we go to a quiet hairdressers whose premises looks like a house, my son thinks he he now goes to my my "friends house" and is so much better with having his hair cut
