Why is it impossible to get a good boy’s hair cut? We’ve taken our son to every hair cutting option in town – from the kiddie hair cut place to the barber on base to an adult hair stylist. And without fail, every single time within a couple hours we realize the hair is uneven, and all kids of jacked up. It’s so frustrating. Seriously, why is it impossible to get a good young boy’s hair cut?
We had Preschool Boy’s hair cut today. Needless to say, it didn’t go well. It kind of looked cute. Until you looked closely and noticed it was uneven in the front, longer on one side and completely uneven in the back. From one angle he looked straight out of the show The Monkeys. Sad.
So, my husband suggested (again) that we just shave my son’s hair. Avoid the drama of an actual hair style involving scissors and shaping and just shave it. And, for reasons that currently escape me, I agreed. Yes, we shaved my son’s hair.
Before I show you the pictures, let’s take a brief look at what once was.

And now….
March 2010
I made a video to mark the occasion. And, I apologize, there are some technical issues and the sound is a little off. It makes all of us sound like chipmunks. I should also apologize to my son because I’m sure my shock at the (lack of) length of his hair was more traumatizing than the actual hair cut itself.
So, please, take pity on me and tell me it’s not that bad.
Thanks everyone for the kind words! You are making me feel better. :) And, now everyone cross your fingers it grows back quickly!
i like it, makes him look like a big boy which i’m sure he likes.
Love the haircut…he looks great. From the photo it looks happy with the way it turned out.
I think it looks great Kate! He’s still as adorable as ever.
He looks adorable!!!
I remember when I cut my son’s hair….and you know what? It always grows back! : ) But it seriously looks adorable! : )
With three boys of mine own…of course, they are 30, 28 and 27 now….when they were little, we had plenty of mishaps and had to shave the hair close to the hair….but, I must say, it’s still a nice haircut…
Take care,
Donna
Best news: hair grows back! Your son is a total cutie with long curls or a shaved head. If only we could all be so adorable.

Kate, I would have reacted the same way as you. Shocked. And for you it was even more so because his hair was pretty long so it became really different.
I feel your pain about the haircuts. We have the toughest time getting Lucian’s hair cut too without him ending up with hairs that stick up.
If it makes you feel any better, I think it is really cute! I bet it is really soft to rub your hands through.
I think it looks cute, but I understand you liking the longer hair (check out my little bro Luke when you get a chance he has longer hair) It will grow back quickly I promise :)
I think it looks cute, kinda retro. The great thing about hair is it grows back, so even if you hated it, it’s only temporary. But I wouldn’t be surprised if your son ends up liking his shorter hair better.
I love my son’s hair shaved (he’s almost 2). It’s easy to wash and a lot quicker to rinse when in the tub. It’s easier to apply sunscreen to his head – he’s very fair skinned. Above all, he looks like such a kick-butt little boy! *he doesn’t have any curls and has 3 gnarly cowlicks – so we kinda have to shave*
