my first stint as a hairdresser
Posted on February 6, 2008
For the longest time, Ramil and I have been nudging each other about what to do with Mateo’s hair. When our little boy was about ten months old, I started seeing scratches inside his ear. It seems that he made them whenever his hair would go inside his ears and tickle him. So even before he turned a year old, I’ve been itching to have a few snips of his hair. However, due to lack of hairdressing experience, Ramil and I kept pointing fingers at each other on who should do the cutting. When Mateo’s birthday came and went and still no haircut, we agreed to just let him grow his hair and keep it in a pony. This decision elicited a lot of suggestions from both set of grandparents to cut his hair. Hehe!
We’ve also considered bringing him to Cuts for Tots in The Block but when my sister inquired and told me that a haircut costs 280 pesos(!), I knew I’m going to have to force myself to be his hairdresser. So one boring afternoon, I whipped out our scissors and told Ramil that I will do the honors.
Here are some pictures of Mateo a few days before the haircut:

When we were getting ready for his haircut, I let him walk around while I start wetting and combing his hair. Afterwards, we placed his highchair in front of the TV and let him watch Barney. Mateo’s yaya was assigned to hold onto his arms and keep him from moving around while Ramil armed himself with our camera.
After getting his haircut, Mateo started looking like a little boy for real. He doesn’t look like a baby anymore. Wah! Everyone liked his new hair though so I’m designating myself as his very own hairdresser for now.
