Hairy Elephant

We've managed to hold off on the first "real" haircut until today.  We've given him a few trims here and there but nothing major.  But it was starting to get out of control so we sought out professional help :)

Benjamin was definitely very skeptical in the beginning but he eventually warmed up.

The kid salon is called Hairy Elephant (thanks Emma and Zoe for the suggestion!) and it was really cute.  All the seats were fun cars, golf carts, air planes, boats etc.  Benjamin was in a jeep :)  And he got to pick out a movie to watch, which of course was Elmo.
Courtnee was his hair dresser and she was great!  She was really patient with Benjamin and made his hair look amazing

All smiles...

Until the electric razor came out.  He did NOT like that

Sadly this is the last picture I took.  I was too distracted after that and forgot to take an after shot.  But they did that for me and glued it on to a first hair cut certificate along with a lock of hair.  Such a fun experience (minus the few min. melt down)
I highly recommend it!
