Has anyone taken little girls to the Barber Shop at MK? I just want my DD5's hair "done" for the day, what cute things do they do? Anyone with pictures?

My DD's love this!!!

The barbers are wonderful...they usually french braid their hair, put some fun hair gel on the top (it takes about 30 minutes to really dry...so be careful), and then put on some "pixie dust" (mickey head shaped confetti).

We always make at least one stop to the barber shop. My tip is to make it your first stop of the day as it is first come first served and there can be quite a wait later in the day.

Have fun! :wizard:

We took our dd there for her first haircut last December. They do boys and girls of all ages. There are only 2 barbers/chairs so the line can get long. After her cut, the lady put it up in a princess style and put mickey glitter things in her hair. (little mickey head shaped metallic pieces) It was very cute. I believe you can do the style without doing the haircut too.

We are going back in May and plan to go by there to get it styled.

We did this last month and my neice had her hair put in a "Cinderella-Bun" with pink streaks and micky confetti (pixie dust). The cost was $5, the rest of the kids just got confetti and colored gel, same price. My littlest neice just got sprinkled with dust and there was no charge. FYI, it took a really long time to get this done. There were only 3 kids ahead of us, so I thought it would be quick, but they were getting hair cuts, and they really talke care with the cuts, and a long time!

My dd3 has never had her hair cut anywhere else. My dh, mom, girlfriend and I have also had our hair cut there over the years.

Planning our trip for Jan. Does anyone have pictures? This sounds like something fun to do, but would love to get an idea of what they do based on pics. Might be a good replacement for BB Salon.

The idea for hair fixed like cinderella and pink streaks for 5.00 was right up my alley!!! Although my DD loves Snow White :goodvibes

Took both my kids there last summer. DS had a haircut with colored gel and mickey pixie dust. DD had a trim with her hair in a bun colored gel and mickey pixie dust. They both loved it!

Yes--I even had my daughters hair just styled (not cut). Unfortunately, I was charged teh same amount as a cut. I say unfortunately b/c I wasn't expecting it to be that high as they really didn't do much to her hair (unlike a cut).

However--next time...I might as well get a trim for her--and then make a suggestion on a style if they are going to charge me the full rate anyway.

I wonder if the $5 pricing came later. :(

I forgot to add that DD had one of those hair wraps in at the time of her "do" and the stylist had no problem keeping it in.

My DD4 had her hair done in January for $5. Her hair is not very long and Maura put it up and pixie dusted her- it was adorable and stayed all day. She was wearing her Minnie Mouse dress, so she put 2 buns on the top of her head and used red glitter. I tried to add a picture, but I guess I don't know how. :blush:

DW has had her hair done there before. She was pleased with it but opted out of getting it colored afterwards.

I'll have to see if I can locate my pics. DD had her hair done there. She has brown hair, they fixed it like Tinkerbell and sprayed it yellow with lots of glitter. The only problem, she has very fine hair and they teased it. I had to let her sleep in conditioner so I could get her hair combed out. It was very cute but I would not let them tease it again. She loved it!!!

DS always gets his hair cut and DD gets sprinkled with pixie dust. You can also pay a couple of dollars and get the Mickey "tatoo". It's a fun thing to do, but as mentioned it...can be a really long wait.

Of course, I can't find a pic of my neice's doo, but here is the rest of the gang. The boys got Mickey head's painted on the back of their heads...also not pictured. Oh well, it will give you an idea. By the way, we never saw anyone else with their hair colored, we were the only ones.

Fun Fun! I think I'll have this done for my little cousin (8 years, like my little sis) and maybe even myself. I just cannot resist something so fun for DW! So can you ask for what you want (Tinkerbelle, Minnie, ect)? Or do they choose for you? :mickeyjum

We took DD for her first haircut - it cost $15 but that included mouse-ears, a certificate, and pixie dust. Billie also gave us locks of her hair all carefully wrapped in tissue! :teeth:

After finishing, she was "presented" to the rest of the customers and everyone cheered and made a fuss - DD was so proud! It was definately worth the $$ and was comparable in cost for a haircut in our home town.

When we visit later this year, we'll be going back so DD can get a "do" - it's a steal at $5! :thumbsup2

My DD took her 4 year old Princess in January. She was dressed in her Cinderella gown, and totally caught up in the magic of Pixie Dust and blue streaks in her hair. The cost was just $5. This was DGD first visit, and she was going to have lunch with her Princess "friends" so this was the beginning of a magical day for her. DD took like 50 Pics, but I don't know how to post. I will ask SIL to help.

I'm dying to see some more pictures! Exactly where is the barber shop? People are saying it takes a long time- about how long did you have to wait? I was thinking about taking my DD to the Bibbity Boppity Boutique, but this sounds really cute! (and cheap! ;) )

Go thru the gates to the rotary (?) and bear to the left around the rotary as you head towards Main Street. There are some shops and a little horse barn type building/ It is tucked in there. We waited about 45 minutes, and we arrived at about 10AM. We are a pokey group.

I have some pictures set aside to share, but I admit that I am having trouble posting them. If anyone can send directions, I would appreciate it.

I suppose this board could really use a bump *nodds at date of last post*

Any answers to my earlier question or more adorable pics would be appreciated! :Pinkbounc

Here is my son's pics. We just got back and he had his hair done on Tuesday, We got there at around 11am and waited about 45 minutes.

Whoever wanted to know how to post pics, go to Photobucket (http://www.photobucket.com) and upload your pics. After they are uploaded, there will be three URLs under the pic. Highlight and copy the last URL(the IMG one) and paste it in your message.

For us it's cheaper than a haircut at home!

I just wanted to bump this thread to see if anybody had pics of their little girl's princess hairstyle. I'm thinking about taking my neice before our lunch at CRT.

;) :thumbsup2 Rachel's first haircut was at WDW Barber Shop! It was a wonderful experience. She got a certificate, and ears with "first haircut" embroidered on them. The barbers were wonderful with her. The haircut was adorable. We get all:rotfl: her haircuts there now.

DD would like to have all her haircuts at the Barber Shop too - but it's just too expensive for us - considering we'd have to fly in from Scotland!:rotfl: :lmao:

But seriously, it was a lovely experience and well worth the money (about $15 back in October 2004). ;)

I do count my blessings:cloud9: - we get to go to WDW 4 times a year, since we are FL residents and it is just 6 hours away by car/van to the most magical place on earth. :woohoo: Funny thing is, I always wanted to leave Florida (as a child, and also as a young adult) and I am so grateful to my hubby for wanting to stay where he was born and raised. :cheer2: This is HOME and home is where I belong. :grouphug:

Rachel :bride: always looks so cute when she is finished at the barber shop. Her sisters :cheer2: princess: always ask for pixie dust in their hair (a free service of the barbers - you just go in and ask for it, even if they are in the middle of doing someone's hair) :goodvibes

We took Julie for her first hair cut last September. It was awesome.

I think in August when we go back, I'll def have to have her second haircut done. We're getting a little shaggy now, but ... I think she can wait. The $15 pricetag is cheaper than most of the "kid" salons around here, PLUS she got the mickey ears, a certificate and all her hair. If you're going for a first haircut, Michael was AWESOME with her. She didnt have a clue he was cutting her hair. My sister is nine, and the other lady in the shop squirted her hair down and threw confetti in her hair.

We went right after opening, around 9:15, we didn't realize it was a EMH that day. However, we had to wait for the barber shop to open. Needless to say, we were the first ones in. As we were leaving, there were about three-four families already lined up.

Wow, this sounds like fun! I don't love the BBB idea for my girls yet (they're young) but we might try the Barber shop!

When I saw this thread I started to wonder whether the Barber Shop will still be doing the fun girls hairdos now that BBB is in MK?

My dd had her first haircut there in April. I was a great experience. She didn't even realize her hair was being cut. My oldest got her hair done at BBB so I wanted to do something special for the little one too.

Attempting to post some pictures.

Wow, this looks like so much fun!!

I was just curious as to whether they still do the girl hair styles without the cut at the Barber Shop?

We're going in November and I was looking for an alternative to BBB to spend my money on. Yeah, I was thinking about doing the BBB for myself (14 when we go).

Also, is it easy to get the color out? I'll be going back to school the day after we get back and it will need to be washed out by then.

Thanks for sharing the pictures!!

I would think so - the Barber Shop do haircuts where BBB are more for pampering - hairdo's, make-up, etc.;)
