KUTS 4 KIDS

Ruth's first real hair cut at Kuts 4 Kids (4423 S.E. Hawthorne Blvd ) was not without tears, but the gentle, understanding and kind woman worked very quickly and we finally have a kid with a nice even haircut that didn't happen while she was being bribed with sponge toys in the bathtub. A few things about this place made the experience manageable: A playroom! -- a little grungy, but who cares; the adventures of Tom & Jerry! -- the cat and mouse duo from thirty years ago smashing each other to smithereens over and over brought laughs out of the tears; Sitting on Mom's lap -- It made it a little difficult when she would duck and hide, but asking Ruth to sit alone for this very scary experience would have been WAY too much. Lastly, dum dum suckers, it required 4 but they worked.
