Ok... My son is 11 months old will be a year on the 28th. Is it too early for a haircut? His hair is well over his ears which is driving my Husband and I crazy ( Hubby has military style hair). If it is not too early, what type of hair salon do I take him to?

Hello and welcome. Here is what I would do (I won't have to for long time, DD has hardly any hair) I would take him to whoever does your hair, you probably know them and trust them well.Then take lots and lots of pictures during the process! I don't think it's too early at all, I've heard of first haircuts long before 11 months. Good luck.

I don't think it's too early. I just had my sons first hair cut done. He's almost 13 months old. We just took him to one of those places in a strip mall - holiday hair (that's where we had ours done). I held him in my lap while she cut it. He did pretty well. And she saved a lock or two for us.

Hi! If his hair is driving you crazy, then it's definitely not too early for a haircut : ) I take my kids to a place that specializes in kids cuts. They usually have fun chairs to sit in and lots of kid friendly stuff (the place we go right now even has a ball pit). For my kid's first hair cuts they made a big production and took pictures for me and gave us a certificate...it was very cute. You usually pay a little more at these places, but it was worth it for the first cut. If the area you live in doesn't have a place like that, I'd ask other moms where they take their kids. Some stylists are much better with kids and it makes the whole experience more pleasant.

Good luck!

I had my first son's hair cut at 10 months. We took him to a place called Cartoon Cuts in our local mall. It was wonderful b/c they played cartoons on a tv right in front of him and they even gave me a certificate that said this was his first hair cut. They put the hair in a baggie for me to keep and everything. I don't think it is too young.
