Re: New Born Baby

I believe you have to do it at home urself...as all the professional are hesitant to touch baby's head before 10-12 months. Given the skull bones have not fused together completely during first couple of months....

Re: New Born Baby

Are you asking about shaving baby's head on 7th day or a haircut ?
I am in US so I dont know if there are people who would do it in Canada.
When a newborn, we shaved our son ourself at home. I did not know where else to go. I asked another friend of mine and she had a cousin do it for them.
We used ladies razor. You have to be very careful, cannot use a very sharp or a very blunt razor.
I wet his hair and put baby shampoo in a small tub filled with water. Wet the razor in that shampooed water and then used it. It might be easier if you can cut the hair a little bit so they are short and not very long before shaving. Use a scissor that has rounded edges to do that.
I think it took us 2 or more hours to finish that tiny head.

As others have said, it needs to be done at home. No salon will take on the risk.

Actually I had both my kids' heads shaved by professionals in the US. First was at an Arabic Salon when the baby was 7 days old and for the second one we took the baby to a desi lady who ran a salon out of her house, this time the baby was 2 montsh old. We did not have any problems at all with teh shaving.
