My boys have never been to the "beauty shop". They are 3 and 2. I'm on a tight budget and I have trust issue's with groomers so I've always done mine myself. Unlike your baby, my boys are less than cooperative when it's time for haircuts or trims. It's usually a day long process, sometimes even stretches through the whole weekend. It would go a lot faster if I had someone to help me hold them. I think the next time its time for haircuts, I'll call over one of my neighbors or family member to help out. It would make it a lot easier with my wiggly boys.
