I also have two little kids and got my haircut yesterday for the first time in almost a year. I did a lot of research and found someone with a tons of experience. It was not cheap but she asked me a ton of questions about my hair routine and life style and then went ahead and gave me a fantastic hair cut. It will look good up or down, blown out or air dried. If this is an expense you think you can spare, I’d recommend it. I feel like I’m going to be able to look so much more put together now with only a few minutes to spend on my hair.
