Haircut for my Diva

Evelyn's bangs have been obstructing her vision so it was time for a cut. I decided to take her to a new kids cut place in Avenida called Divas and Dudes. The website looked nice and their prices were reasonable so off we went.

The salon is bright and cheery with super friendly staff. Evelyn had her choice of four vintage looking metal cars, naturally she chose the pink one. Unlike other kid salons they don't have tv's playing movies. Instead, Evelyn was handed an ipad mini loaded up with games. This is brilliant, it kept her head down and her hands busy. It meant she she had a lot nicer cut that she has had in the past. When the cut was finished Evelyn got to choose from an assortment of hair mascara colors to have some "highlights".

On top of having four haircut chairs the salon also features a kids spa. I got a little sneak peek of the room and it is beautiful! There is a shimmery pink flowered wallpaper on the walls and a lovely chandelier. There is a long bench covered in fluffy cushions for the girls to sit on for their pedicures and pretty little chairs for the manicures. It is completely designed for kids even down to the teeny bopper magazines. Pedicures last 20 minutes, perfect for a little one to enjoy but not get too antsy and each month features a different ice cream scent for their spa time. Strawberry Shortcake is the scent for February and it smells delicious! We will definitely be coming in for some spa days.

Below is the salons price list for haircuts. Divas and Dudes offers many services beyond basic haircuts. From updos to birthday parties you will find lots of choices and prices to suit your needs.

The Moment When...

It is that embarrassing moment when you are working out in your living room with no music and only one other person in the room, your trainer (who is a man I might add) and you are doing sumo squat jumps and you hear your thighs clap together. Yes, I said thighs. clap. together. Someone kill me now!

Keeping it real...

I have a 5 year old and 2 year old. They love each other dearly but they fight...a lot. Some days are great others not so much. They have been particularly miserable lately fighting over toys and being told "no". Some days you would think they had never been told no before. Here is a snapshot into some not so cheesy happy moments in our home.

sigh...she is 2. These moments are frequent. This particular moment I told her she couldn't have a bag of chocolate chips.

Apparently when you can't play with your sister's new toy it also mean you can't play with anything in the entire house and you have never had any special...ever!
