One mom suggested "Lions, Tigers, and Hair" in Petaluma. Another mom suggested "Blake & Co." in Sebastopol, complete with a race car for kids to sit in while they get their hair cut. The place I know of is "Exclusive Salon" (used to be Just Kids Kutz) in Santa Rosa. She lets the kids watch videos while she trims, and then offers a prize when it's all over. Personally, I just cut my son's hair myself. Right now we're growing it out again, so it's the long surfer style again. But over the years I've had enough practice cutting it that I just prefer to do it myself rather than spending money on his hair every 6 weeks.

And after a certain point, you can no longer call the shots. It's not like I drove my parents crazy with long hair in the 60's. My son always had a modified buzz cut growing up. He played all the sports and had to look the part of an athlete. Very conservative. I had been a single parent for a several years and when he was 13, I remarried. The day before the wedding, at which he was going to give the official toast to his dad and the bride, I sent him off for a quick haircut. I remember kidding "mr conservative" not to do anything too outrageous. So what happens... he shows up with a mohawk. I was ticked for about 30 seconds before the absurdity sunk in and I started laughing. We have great video of the "mohawk" toast. I agree Heather, you can’t worry too much about your kid’s hair.
