First hair-cut for my grand son

In my country too I haven't heard about people giving a certificate on the first hair cut of a kid. Maybe some parlors do that to encourage others to visit their parlor and have their first hair cut memory there as well.

hi ravisivan are you in the USA now?wos so your grandsone got p hotographed that was nice. I am not sure if they do this in' all salons or not. what fun. I bet he is really a cutie too One year and a month. Is he walking yet? anyway congrats on the photo as it will be a treasure for you. How come you did not stop by my retirement center and say hello I am just joking of course. Come to think of it I did not even know what state here in the USA you were at. lol happymylotting and hug your sweet little grandson for me.

Never heard of this custom. May be some perlors do it and such ones might be trying to stand unique and draw more crowd. Another marketing?/?/ Children start crying for haircut only after 11/2 - 2 years and it was the same for both my sons.

what a wonderful idea, I think a lot of mothers would go there for this as just by seeing how mothers are on Facebook with their photos and such, I am sure that shop will get a lot of business for that small thought, very good idea.

Well, for us in the United States, a baby's first haircut is as much a milestone as them sitting alone for the first time or taking their first steps. Having the first haircut symbolizes the end of being a baby in many ways. I know that there are some salons that will give a certificate and such for the child that has just had their first haircut. Another thing that people typically do is to keep a lock of a child's baby hair. I have a lock of both my daughters and my sons baby hair.

We don't have such practice-giving certificate for the first hair-cut but there is an event for a baby and it some kind of baby-shower party but we doing it traditionally and one of the activity is to cut the baby hair. But it is not a necessary to do so. It's up to the parents.(^^)

Hello Ravi, At my location we have a tradition we call it as MUNDAN where the first hair cut is done nearby GANGA and hair are put in the river yes the first hair cut is memorable.And this occasion has a particular time which is told by a PANDIT.

Hi Sivan, so far I know, with us we aren't used to do that, but I find a very nice geture that in America this is done. Anyway it is a manner to remember an special ocassion and very kind of parlour people.

You had your kid's first hair cut ceremony?! Shouldn't it be balding your kid's hair completely?! Recently, we celebrated my nephew's ear boring ceremony and before ear boring, we give the hair of the kid to the god. (Kula Deivam). It is done richly with all the relatives coming from distant places to attend the function. It is a big deal of a function because it is the first ever function of the kid celebrated ever.
