I say 1st "official" cut because Daddy has been attempting to tame Nicky's double-crown mane since we came back from Russia. There was only so much we could do with the dog clippers! Just kidding! Seriously though, the clippers we do have are definitely not professional grade, and we unfortunately lack in hair-cutting skills & ability. This last time Kris performed the daunting task, Nicky ended up with a semi-bowl cut, a bald spot on the back of his head and some minor cuts on his neck from the clippers. We figured it was time to take him to a professional, and there happens to be a children's "salon" right by our house, called "Snip It's".
Living in the orphanage, Nicky had his hair shaved off each month - this not only made it easier to manage (imagine taking care of the hair of 15 kids each day), but also kept little critters (Lice) from setting up home on the little one's heads. When we brought him home we decided we wanted to see what he would look like with longer hair. Although it looked cute when it grew out, (because let's face it, he's the cutest kid ever) his double-crown cowlick situation made for a messy scenario - and not in the "cool, messy, just out of bed" look either. In the end, we decided to have the stylist cut it pretty short, leaving a it a bit longer on top so it would still part to the side. Here is a picture of him sitting ever so still...
And here's a picture of the end result....jpg)
He looks so cute! I love it & am so glad we finally decided to stop being so cheap & pay someone else to cut it!
