[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again

18:59 it took me about 2 years to find a place that could my sons hair. I recently two places in MoCo if that not too far for you.  I should mention my son doesn't get violent when it comes to hair cuts.  He just really hates and can't tolerate the electric razor.  These two places make it as painless as it can get for a sensory sensitive child.

The woman who cuts hair in Kidville in Bethesda is great.  It doesn't look like hair cutting place.  She knows how to cut hair close to his ears without using an electric razor.  There is a TV for him to watch to distract him If the TV is over stimulating she also has a bunch of toys for kids to play with.  And she knows that if a child is getting freaked out she stays very calm.

The other place I just tried was Hannah's barbershop is Bethesda. There not a lot of stuff on the walls and it's very open.  There is music playing but no TV blaring in the background and they have bunch of toys and books.  They are also very calm.  They weren't  quite as good as Kidville is but sometimes is hard to get an appointment at Kidville.

I hope this helps.  By the way I snuck
In his room last night.  Worked like a charm!  Thanks again.

Glad it worked!  Yeah for small victories.  The comments about haircuts reminded me of the time one of DC's classmates in preschool came in on Monday with a half haircut.  He had not had a haircut in a long time and they wanted a buzz cut for summer.  He cooperated until he didn't and voila a half haircut.  It really was cute and it could have been any one of our children.  They went back the next weekend and did the rest.  [/quote]
