First "real" Haircut.

When my mom was here over Christmas we took Isabelle to Quick Clips (or something) to get her first real haircut.  My mom and I have both cut her hair before, but this mainly consisted of trimming her bangs.  Her hair has been getting longer, but it is so fine that it looked scraggly and messy all the time...within a minute of combing it it would look all stringy again.  I thought maybe a shorter cut would help this.  For her part, Isabelle has been obsessesed with Victor from the Corpse Bride. 

She wants to BE Victor.  So she has been asking if she could get her hair cut like his.  I agreed, figuring that anything shorter than what she had could be considered "like Victor".    So the big day came.

 My mom and me took Isabelle and the two boys to the hair salon. 

I was getting a trim and some layers put in so I went first so she could see how it was done.  She didn't seem very interested.  I was worried she would squirm and cry and change her mind halfway through.  I should have known better.  Isabelle hasn't ever been very sentimental about girly things like her hair, even though I keep expecting her to. 

(completely unrelated: check out the stylist's fuschia and florescent green chipped nails, pink hair streaks, pierced nose and lip ring.  I honestly didn't notice any of this at the time...)

She sat right down in the seat, held still, tilted her head when asked and when she was done she thought it was awesome.  She went around telling everyone she looked just like Victor now!

 It does look much better.  It curls under all on it's own and doesn't need a bow or anything to look cute.  So all in all I'd say the first haircut was a success!

This is about as messy as it gets....  What do you think?
