I have 4 boys. 4 boys with hair that grows extremely fast. 4 boys that seem to always need a haircut.
4X$12+tips=way more than cheap Chanel wants to pay every 4-6 weeks.
I’ve tried really hard to convince my boys that long hair is awesome. Fabio has built a romance empire on his long hair. Kurt Cobain: long hair. Anthony Kiedis from the Red Hot Chili Peppers way hotter with long hair. Albert Einstein was rocking some long locks. Thomas Jefferson, founder of our nation, his hair was pony tail length. Jesus, our Savior, God’s son, long hair.
None of my boys will go for it. Even sweet Nathaniel with the adorable grown out page-boy haircut complains about his long hair.
wouldn’t we make beautiful baby girls?
I figured that I could start cutting the boy’s hair. How hard could it be? It definitely isn’t rocket science. Right?
My mom gave me some clippers. It was a disaster.
Dave’s grandpa gave us a Flowbee. Marshall begged to have his hair cut with the vacuum. It was like an infomercial in our living room. Can’t you feel the excitement.
It lasted about as long as an infomercial too. It was the LONGEST hair cut ever. Flowbee does not equal easy haircut. What it does equal is a rather mediocre haircut that took ten times longer than a normal haircut. Imagine your vacuum running for an hour while you try really hard to get thousands of hairs in the suction chamber. When we finally finished, Marshall went to inspect it in the mirror. He called back, “I think I want it shorter.”
Take two.

Dana always complained about how my hair looked when I Flow-Bee’d myself. I picked up a few tricks when I had it, I might be able to shave a few minutes off the cut time. Melba could do a full cut in about 10 minutes.
10 minutes? Impossible!
omg…
That is hilarious… I used to cut Ray’s hair… it was way shorter and looked like he got into a fight with a lawn mower…
It doesn’t look too terrible but, definitely doesn’t look like it was done by any sort of professional 🙂
He looks like he is really enjoying that hair cut!!! Gpa called to see if i was wanting the flowbee and i just kinda wondered what iI would do with it…and all my hair. haha im glad it found a good home. my Gma used to rock the flowbee haircut. i think you gotta do it on a regular basis to to make it easier!
That’s too funny about him asking you. Your next on our mission to be barbers 🙂 I think you’re right about the more often you do it the easier.
all I can say is THANK GOD my mom is a stylist. lol.
We need a stylist in the family!
Marshall looks like he is in pain lol Evil Dave pic funny I would run from that! Well… I am not that brave Jackson would have chunks of hair missing yes they would grown in a lot faster but wow he would look really bad 🙂
Isn’t that a great pic 🙂
I’m glad I didn’t stick around! Maybe we should have let Papa try out Jessie’s dog grooming clippers??
I do Grandpa Great’s hair because he just wants it all buzzed down the same length – that’s easy.
So did Mikey change his mind again? LOL
It took us so long to cut Marshall’s hair that I ended up sending Mikey to bed before it was done. Maybe we will do his tonight.
Note that there are no “after” pictures. Is that by design?
