Today was momentous for All of us Ellwoods because today we all devoted ourselves to something much needed for all: Haircuts.
Now, D and I just needed "the usual" of our monthly trims but Miss A? Well, Miss A... she was in SERIOUS need of some hair shreddage because she was sporting a... well... (I'll just say it) - a MULLET.
Don't even get me started on how embarrassing such a thing is. The good thing at least was that Miss A 1) didn't really realize she was sporting a mullet and 2) therefore didn't have any clue how bad it was.
For this big momentous occasion, we decided took a cue from a friend of mine and went to a place called Pigtails and Crewcuts. The one my friend goes to is all the way in Hawaii (quel dommage that we couldn't go to their place!) and our closest/most local location is in Annapolis. No big deal! We called ahead for a spot on the waiting list and when we showed up we had barely a wait until it was our (collective) turn. Miss A was the first in the chair.
And she was super excited to sit at the fire engine spot AND enjoy a green (her favorite) lollipop. Her mess of a mane was spritzed down with water and Miss Pam worked some major magic on her. Even D, who sort of protested the need for the haircut to begin with commented numerous times on how much better she looked with every snip of the scissors.
Not even 10 minutes from the start of the cutting, Miss A was perfectly trimmed, coiffed and even pigtailed (hence the name of the beautyspot itself!) and despite the fact that she looks less than thrilled about the event on the whole...
...she was very pleased with the whole experience and (I think) was looking disgruntled because she was at the end of her lollipop. Miss Pam was nice enough to supply her with a brand new fresh sucker and then it was D's and then my turn.
All in all? It was a big success! And we'll (ALL) definitely head back there even for a whole round of family cuts as well. Six thumbs up for Pigtails and Crewcuts! We'll see ya next time!
