My son is terrified of electric hair clippers.

“Please don’t use clippers on him.”
“Have you tried clippers before?”
“Yes, we have. He hates them. Don’t use clippers on him.”
...
“So, he’ll be okay with the little clippers for the back, right?”
“No. No clippers.”
...
“I’ll just use the clippers around his ears.”
“NO. No clippers.”
“It’s not that much. I’m sure he’ll be fine with it.”
“NO.”

Every. Single. Time.


Hairdressers of the world, I realise it sounds like I’m making your job harder, but do you WANT the boy to spend the rest of the haircut screaming with his hands over his ears and frantically trying to escape the chair?

I get that even when I am holding my child on my lap, restraining his arms and legs and trying to keep him calm enough to actually cut his hair with scissors. No really, the clippers are not going to help things.
