Follow on Google News | The Best Way To Cut Kids Hair Is To Play With Trains.Sherry Hood has been cutting kids hair for over six years. Recently, she joined the team at Blakeney Pigtails & Crewcuts, a creative kids salon in the Blakeney Crossing Shopping Center at 9935 Rea Road, Charlotte, NC, 28277.
By: Becca Bernstein Sherry’s answer is simple: “Play with them.” In fact, a lot of her day is spent playing around the train table. She finds if she can play with kids, they’ll feel comfortable and let her cut their hair. “You can’t force kids to do anything. But you can play with them. And when you do, you build trust.” Playing is one tactic. Another is to let parents walk away. When Sherry plays one-on-one with a child, kids open up easier. “I love my job. My kids are my family. I’ve seen them grow up. Take Shephard Arthur, for example. I’ve been cutting his hair since he was very little.” Shephard Arthur is Hailey Arthur’s son. Hailey is the owner and manager of Blakeney Pigtails & Crewcuts. “Having a child with special needs means you have to accommodate them in different ways. And our salon is set up to make children feel comfortable.” With a kid-friendly design including airplane-shaped chairs, a kid's party room, a PlayStation® Blakeney Pigtails & Crewcuts is located in South Charlotte and is open Monday through Friday from 9AM to 6PM and Saturdays from 9AM to 4 PM.
