My 3yo daughter never got her hair cut/ trimmed cos she wants to be a princess and princesses have long hair. But it's hot and her fringe is long. How do you persuade your kids to go for a hair cut at the hair salon?

What is the other things she does not like doing/going to. Say it's to the Dentist? Then I would give her two choices - hey baby, which would you prefer to do today, cut your hair or visit the Dentist? Having the perception of choice might make her say cut hair. Let me know if the trick works, seems to work with my little Nephew. :)

I would avoid offering a negative choice, teaches them to do things for the wrong reasons. Try making it fun. Shopping, afternoon tea, mini manicure together and hair cut for both of you. It's pampering not a hassle.
