When Berkley turned three, I took her to get her first haircut at Magic Kingdom! I know, I know, I waited way longer than most. But she had just the sweetest curls, that I was so afraid they would be gone for good after cutting them off!
But she finally needed it. Her unruly (dare I say poor mullet) needed some structure. And what better place than our home-away-from-home?
For those of you who didn’t know about this little Disneyworld secret, to the left on Main Street as you enter Magic Kingdom, is this cutesy little vintage barber shop called Harmony Barber Shop. They do haircuts for men, women, children, all ages- but the most magical is the first haircut package. It comes with an embroidered “My 1st haircut” Mickey ear hat, a certificate of Bravery from Mickey and Minnie, and a sweet little mesh pouch with those first locks inside.
They let the babies/kids choose a toy, and put Mickey stickers all over them. The cast members are so kind and gentle, that they’ll stop if they need to, and spend the time making the little ones feel better before they continue. They also have “Pixie dust” for their hair after they are all finished.
I am totally that mom that loves over-celebrating firsts and milestones, and because Disney has created so many special memories for us, it couldn’t have been more perfect. Or should I say, magical.
To schedule and appointment at Harmony Barber Shop, call (407) 939-7529. You can reserve your spot up to 180 beforehand, but they do take walk-ins too. In fact, we got to the park first thing that morning, and booked an appointment for 12:30pm that day. The price is only $25, which is extremely reasonable given everything that is included.
Thank you, Disney for always adding that special something to our special moments!
