Baby
Charley was born with a round head full of hair. I was thrilled to get my hands
ready to style her hair with bows and ponytails; however, her locks took time
to grow and thicken. Sadly, they also did not grow evenly, so Baby Charley grew
up with a round head full of hair of various lengths.
When
Charley turned 1, my roommate (my husband, btw) and I were advised to cut her
hair already, but we could not bring ourselves to do so cos if we did, Charley
would have no hair left on her big, round head.
Messy hair Charley |
Finally,
after 19 months of messy hair, we brought Baby Charley to Cuts 4 Tots in Glorietta for her first official haircut.
Before
the Haircut
Cuts N4Tots could only accommodate
three (3) clients at the same time, so Baby Charley had to wait for her turn.
It was not hard for her, though, because there were some toys for her to play
with. Some of the other kids waiting for their turns also played with her.
Shocking pink for the baby girl |
Soon,
a receptionist came and offered us their First
Haircut Package. For Php600, it included a membership to Cuts 4 Tots, 10% discount on future
services, and a frame with Charley’s pictures and a lock of her hair. Regular
haircut costs Php330.
During the Haircut
When
Baby Charley was called already for the haircut, I could say I was more nervous
than her.
What if Baby Charley throws a fit?
What if she gets “likot”?
What if Kuya cuts her ears instead?
Fortunately,
Kuya handled Baby Charley’s first haircut with gentle, expert hands. She was
calm throughout the process and enjoyed being in a car as she watched Mickey Mouse’s Playhouse.
The
whole process went swiftly and I think the only time Kuya talked to us was when
he suggested a specific hairstyle so Baby Charley would still look like a girl.
I was not expecting a full-blown kwentuhan,
but perhaps a get-to-know would not hurt.
So,
for 20-30 minutes of haircut, we were all ignoring each other. Baby Charley on
her driving, Kuya on the haircut, and us on Mickey Mouse Playhouse.
After the Haircut
I
knew it would be difficult for Baby Charley to leave the car. You see, Charley
loves driving, which she got from her Daddy, and having her hair cut while
she’s on a car was heaven for her.
When
it was time to leave, Kuya removed the pink cover and said, “We’re done!” and my
roommate and I struggled to get Charley off the car. Fortunately, Kuya
remembered to give Charley a pink ball so she would leave.
it was a challenge for us to make baby Charley leave |
We
paid for the service and left.
Overall
Baby
Charley’s first haircut at Cuts 4 Tots
was a pleasurable experience. Her hair was done well with a professional, and
she really looked cuter without her messy hair.
The
cost was also worth of their service. We would definitely come back for another
haircut.
However,
as a Mommy, I would love it if the staff could be a little friendlier
especially to the kids. They were nice, but not very accommodating. You would
definitely feel like a client at Cuts 4 Tots – nothing else. I was looking for a “home-y” feeling that would make
us feel welcome. Perhaps it’s the weather. Perhaps they were saving that for
their regular customer, I dunno.
Oh,
if only their staff could be as friendly as their IG account!
