Why, oh why, is it so hard to get the kids’ hair cut?!  Either they resist (“I’m never cutting my hair!”), won’t sit still, or it seems practically impossible to find a convenient and kid-friendly salon that you can drag your children to, kicking and screaming or not.  The Hong Kong Moms community has offered up some suggestions.  Now, all you need is something for a bribe (lollipops?) and you are all set!  Note, some more “grown-up” salons only take appointments for the wee ones on certain days (wonder why?!).  Let us know if you have a hidden haircut gem we should know about.
