First Haircut

[oopsadaisy2003]

Has anyone had their child's first haircut at MK? My sister-in-law is thinking about having my twin nephews first haircut done in November while we are there. Any advice or tips?

We took our son to Disney for his first haircut. I advise getting there early because the line can get long at times. My husband waited in line, and I took our son to see some characters while we waited. The cast member who cut his hair was fabulous...lots of Mickey stickers and bubbles to distract him from what was really happening. My son also got a pair of ears that say "First Haircut"...very cute. We're already looking forward to taking our second child down for his first haircut. Have a great trip!

We just did this a couple of weeks ago for my daughter. She just turned two but this was her first haircut. I worried about how she would do because she doesn't like strangers bothering her. She never cried or tried to get down out of the chair or anything. They did a fabulous job with her. She had plenty of Mickey stickers to play with to keep her busy. At the end she got her certificate and lock of hair and a pair of pink ears that say first haircut on the back. The price was only $14 which I thought was quite a bargain! We went on a Saturday and I thought the wait would be long but we were in and out within an hour and my two older sons also had their haircut while we were there.

We did this for both of our boys who are now 3.5 and 17mo. My oldest DS, this is the ONLY place he has had a decent haircut. (I cut the younger one myself because he lets me).

The staff is GREAT! We had Penney both times. Like the other two posters said... lots of stickers, confetti, and fun. I was really worried about the chairs... they are barber chairs with boosters, but it is easy to hold on to them.

I agree... go early. It fills up quick and the shop closes fairly early.

Oooh. AND there are characters right outside the shop. We bided our time while I waited, DH took DSs to see the characters.

Thanks for the tips. I'm sure she will do it now. We were curious how much it would cost. Do you know if the Barber/Beauty shop opens when the park opens? I was just thinking if we got there first thing in the morning we could go straight there.

We did this for Hayden in fact he has had most of his haircuts done there , but the first one was great and the barber's have for the most part been great too. The haircut is $14.00 and if it is their first they get a set of ears with "First haircut" on the back, and a certificate. It was well worth the money. Get there early they open up soon after park opening and as someone else said their is only two chairs so the line forms quickly. Have fun!!
