It was high time to transition this eight year old boy’s hair style from little kid to big kid. Although I do enjoy cutting Jules’ hair and derive strange pleasure from watching haircutting YouTube tutorials, I don’t enjoy cleaning up the fistfuls of hair left in the bathtub afterwards. Most professional NYC hair stylists don’t cut children’s hair for obvious reasons, but BIBA believes that if a kid can sit still for 45 minutes, then a head of hair is a head of hair. So, I booked Jules’ first salon haircut with A-Fa at BIBA hair salon in the trendy Xinyi district.
Based on the staff’s wide smiles and picture taking I had a feeling that although in theory BIBA accepts children, it must not actually have many kiddie clients. Jules lucked out, since his stylist, A-Fa, radiated pure sweetness (and being cute never hurts).
Philip and I watched as our little boy slowly became a big boy in a little under an hour. They really do grow up too quickly.
