Best Haircut EVER

First, let it be known that I do not usually enjoy getting my hair cut. The small-talk, the neck-tweaking, the bumbled description of the style I want, the tiny hair-shards forever embedded in my clothes... pretty much not my idea of a good time. However, yesterday I found the best place for a haircut (just in time for me to move away of course). Not wanting to look like a scarecrow at my brother and sister-in-law's super excellent 4th of July BBQ, I drove around yesterday looking for a salon that was open. I spied a place called "Cool Cuts 4 Kids", and being desperate, popped inside to ask if they did adult hair. The answer was yes, and I was promptly signed in as a "Biggie". Let me tell you, this place was decked out for kids. The waiting area had 6 little stations with tvs and video games, as well as a little play area with toys. Every salon chair had a booster seat, and some were even little cars that the kids got buckled into. The various haircutting stations were all decorated thematically, and I was lucky enough to get seated at the Disney Princess station. When I sat down, the stylist asked me if I'd like to play video games while she cuts my hair. I almost declined, but then thought better of it. I thus spent the entire time playing Rugrats on X-Box, trying in vain to beat a snowman in a toboggan race for double A batteries. Needless to say, it was awesome. Not only was this a fun place to get my hair done, but the stylist was pretty good too. Since apparently my descriptions of my dream haircut suck, I always bring a picture of what I want my hair to look like. Despite this attempt to simplify the haircutting experience, it seems I never have a stylist who actually studies the picture. I was delighted yesterday when my Cool Cuts stylist not only discussed the picture with me, but even referred to it a couple times throughout the "procedure". YAY! I'll definitely be going back before I move away. If only I could fit in those car-chairs...
