JAIMIE'S FIRST PROFESSIONAL HAIRCUT

I am sorry but I just had to use all caps for the post title because THIS IS THE POST I HAVE BEEN DYING TO WRITE FOR AGES!!!

Don't worry. It's not the infamous VU Haircut. =_= It IS a professional haircut at Junior League. After dinner at our favourite eating place, Qi Ji popiah at Shaw Towers, we walked over to Suntec City. When we passed by Junior League, Jaimie saw a little boy getting his hair cut without any fuss and the boy was watching Wheels on the Bus, one of Jaimie's favourite VCD. She stopped to watched both the boy and the VCD as the little girl now is currently very fond of looking at other younger kids and talking to them.

We took the chance and asked her if she wished to get her hair cut at Junior League. She shook her head but it was not as vigorous as the previous times we asked her whenever we walked past a hairdresser's shop. I told her she would get sweets and balloons after the haircut and that melted her immediately. SHE NODDED HER HEAD.

Without much hesitation, I quickly put her on the chair and she started to cry. Hmmm... she had tears in her eyes in the picture below but it couldn't show quite clearly.

The aunty hairdresser quickly doubled the number of sweets in the little basket she gave to Jaimie and the satisfied little girl grabbed on to the basket while watching Wheels on the Bus on the little TV screen, undistracted.

Aunty asked if I planned to keep her hair long. I said no and she suggested giving Jaimie a bob look. Whatever... just cut her hair lah. I am dying to take pictures. This is more important. :D


Jaimie was sitting quite still during the haircut and didn't fuss at all. I was so pleased.

And we were done!

This was Jaimie before the haircut.

This was her new look: She looked like Ah Boy with her hair tucked behind her ears.

We went to Gelare for ice creams after the haircut. Jaimie was happy with her prize-- an orange balloon and a Tweety Bird sticker. I didn't want her to take the sweets as I dislike Jaimie to eat sweets. Jaimie said she liked the haircut experience and she would visit them again. Hohohohoho~~ I was happy to hear that!

Front view:
I was given a coupon from Junior League that there would be a free haircut with every 8 coupons collected.

Let me see... Jaimie cut her hair once every 2.5 years. That means the free haircut will be... er... when she is 22.5 years old!!! GASP!

LOL...see Clement sitting in the background whilst you snapped away at Jaimie' 1st and obviously very "needed and required" haircut!!

I've been told by many people that the more you trim hair the faster it grows....

Btw, I was at Shaw Towers on Sat. I'm there every 2 weeks for fringe trim!

Get Jae to put on a hairband for this bob look, she would look very sweet

wolfgirl said...

hey, I doubt she can fit into the chair when she is 22.5y.o. lah.

She should have a hair cut every 3-6 mths.

Can i splash some cold water?
This hair cut is not as nice as the VU one leh...hehehe

Joyce Long said...

Wow..very nice haircut..neat and tidy..refreshing...Jae is also very gd kuai kuai sit down and let aunty cut..no sweat..

Angie said...

thanks for the compliments on jaimie's behaviour and i think she deserves them too. :p as for the haircut.... well, honestly i didnt think it was fantastic. it gave jaimie the "cut by professional" look because of the layering, that's all. maybe it'll look better when it is longer. and i sure hope it'll grow faster!! i dont mind paying for her haircut, you know!!

Lydia said...

Morning, Angie! I totally understand the excitement and the UPPER CASE, haha! It's like another milestone that our 'baby' reached... I read in your other blog that both papa and mama got teary eyes huh?! ;)

Jae's hair is like my Theophila's, very fine and scarce BUT when it grow longer, she will look very very sweet... forget about the 8+1 offer, lah :P

After a week, her hair should look better. :) You know, whenever I see auntie is the hairstylist at the kids salon, I don't go in. I had bad experience of auntie cutting my kids hair.

Angie said...

lydia,
both clement and i were looking at each other unbelievingly and murmured "she said OK! she said OK!" wahahahaha!!!

LZmommy,
the aunty looks familar. i think i hv seen her pics in some blogs too. and actually i have heard not many positive remarks abt junior league too. but then hor, at that moment, we were just too happy that jaimie was willing to get a haircut. more importantly, she enjoyed it. So we'll probably go back there until she is comfortable with QB Cut or EC House lah...

*laugh* 22.5years?!

hey girl, how come they didn't put a cover over Jaimie's blouse, wouldn't the hair get stuck on her top?

Angie said...

Hi Angeline,
aunty said the cloth might frighten the first-timer, so we do away with the cloth. after the cut, she used a vacuum cleaner to clean off as much as possible. Jaimie didnt complain abt any itch after the cut, so i think it's quite ok. :)
