Haircuts on Wheels-mobile hair cutting service for Lacey, Olympia, and Tumwater

Haircuts on Wheels

Craig Conway

(360) 701-2129

Mobile Hair Cutting Service in the Lacey, Olympia, and Tumwater area.

This guy has been cutting our families hair since my oldest kid was 2 years old.  I had gotten to the point of trying to cut my toddlers hair while he ate ice cream and I was still losing the battle. And then there was "the incident" when my middle son said I cut his ear, and he often reminds me of it, just about every time we get haircuts.

 Getting everyone into the beauty shop for hair cuts when you are a new mom with a full time job is not an easy task.  

Craig came and charmed the kids, gave us all excellent haircuts and has been doing it ever since then.  

He no longer keeps candy in the kit for them, or has them hold the hair whisk, as the boys stand a head taller than the rest of us.  He has made haircuts a calming and connecting time over the years, and we often have a former room mate join on haircut night for his trim.  

  

Craig  happens to cuts hair for a couple of  people in our neighborhood, our pediatrician, and who knows for how many other people in town.  

He has a shop and can do all the modern styles as well as perms.  Mostly he drives to your office or home on your schedule and does a professional haircut with cleanup.   

Do you know Craig? 

What haircuts on wheels stories do you have to share? 

School starts next week, do you all need haircuts soon? Might want to give Craig a call and take care of that soon, with a smile.

Summer is Here-2 Months of Half and Three Quarter Birthdays

There's a new fad going on with the kids.


A friend has his birthday mid December, and this year has decided enough is enough, he is gonna have a half birthday in the summer when it is not raining or Christmas.  Guess when you are nearly 15 you can decide things like this.


And besides not too many of his buddies would show up for a Nerf Battle in the freezing rain. 

Shankz Glow Golf in Olympia
http://www.shankzglowgolf.com/

Now my nearly 14 year old has decided instead of having his birthday the month after school starts, he is wanting to do a three quarter birthday and move his right up to end of this month!   Being the rest of the entire family are summer birthdays  (by birth date that is), that will wrap it all up by end of July for our family.


Only in Western Washington does life stop for summer. Rest of country has snow days...we have sun days.


One of the kids is gonna do a glow golf and biking trip with some of his buddies.  Inspired by a ride your bike campain by Shankz MiniGolf.   The yellow bikes have been taken in, but summer is definitely here, even in the rainiest city on the planet!
