I’ve been anxiously awaiting Jack’s 1st haircut ever since it dawned on me how LUCKY we are to have a ‘Papa’ (my Stepdad Gary) who’s an authentic barber. He works in the oldest Barbershop in Colorado, ‘Elite Barbershop’ in Longmont.

Check out these original chairs

And Jack’s throne

I love just about everything about this shop!

Even the mascot ‘Howdy’

Here’s the shaggy ‘do’ before.  Recently he’s been called a hippie, told he has the ‘Beib’ haircut (bad Aunt Jackie…bad 🙂 and most often a little surfer boy.  When I had to actually use his sister’s detangler the other night I knew it was time

Oh-oh here we go!

He did so great at first..chill as can be

But as soon as this face came out…

So did the sucker (Papa’s no dummy)

Which then produced this face for the rest of the cut

Of course sister gets a sucker too

Finishing touches…lookin sharp!  What do we call this haircut? Very technical: “Little Boy Haircut”

You’re the best Papa Gary

Are we done???

Lookin’ good (I think they look even more alike now)

My two handsome boys
