So my son has had his hair cut maybe three times in his tiny little almost 2 year old life. But we’ve always just done it ourselves and he absolutely hates it. So I finally decided to take him to a professional who knows how to work with kids. I totally love this place Okie Dokie Salon in Woodland Hills.
#1 I was able to make the appointment online which is convenient for me.
#2 Mary was totally sweet and patient with Colton.
She first sat down with him letting him play with toys and getting him comfortable. When she thought he was comfortable she sat him in the booster with a basket of toys to keep him occupied. She first tried to run the buzzer and let him touch it to see if he was comfortable with it. She could tell he was nervous with the buzzer so she did the whole thing with scissors. I totally thought it would be difficult to do his constantly moving head with scissors but she did a Great job!
I couldn’t believe he sat still for that long! Towards the end he had enough and said “want chu mom”. So Mary took him out of the chair and just let him play at the toy table. Then she patiently finished up the hair cut no problem!
I was in total aww and just love this place!







That place looks awesome! I wish we had one here. Colton looks so cute
What a cool place! They’ve got a good thing going I”m sure..a lot of parents dread giving their kids haircuts. I remember sitting cam down on a sheet in the living room w/ a disney movie on and a bowl of snacks in front of him. He’d eat it..hair falling into it..but no matter cuz he held still long enough to get the job done lol! Colton…you look so handsome in your new hair cut! What a big boy you are!

Your blog/website touched me. I love the passion and way you described things. I have two childred, one has autism and haircuts have always been a nightmare for us.
I went to Okie Dokie Kids Salon and Gregory actaully had fun. Mary is a pro and I could not help but cry as I saw Mary work her magic with my son.
Thanks for taking the time to write about this place, I never heard of it and would have never found it if it weren’t for you blog…

Kathy
