Barber shop etiquette

So I have a dilemma. I take Trey to the barber shop every other week. On the off week I cut his hair and the next week he goes to the barber. I do not do a good job lining his edges and he isn't quite as still for me so that's why I have to take him to the barber shop. Also I take him because it gives me a break from fighting with him over just sitting in the chair. We have been going to the same barber (E. Money) for many months and everytime he cuts his hair I am never completely satisfied. It's not that the haircut itself doesn't look good but I don't think he is the best at entertaining Trey while he is cutting his hair, which sometimes means he doesn't get the best cut possible because he is acting like a basket case.

So a couple of weeks ago I took him to the barber as soon as they opened at 9am and his barber E Money wasn't there yet. So I let another barber cut his hair, clearly I wasn't going to wait for him especially since I roll deep with little Preston in tow as well. The other barber let's just call him E Dub offered to cut his hair. Oh my goodness, you can tell this guy has sons because he was so attentive to Trey. He let him hold the clippers, brush his hair and even played with him a little. When it was time to line his edges, the part Trey hates the most; he stopped and explained to him that the hair clippers are going to "tickle" your head like mommy and daddy tickles you. He tickled him a little and put the clippers on his forearm and laughed out tickle tickle. Trey ate it up and he did not move a muscle. Everytime he started cutting Trey would ball up a little and say "tickle tickle mommy." He has never done this well with his barber.

So is it unethical to switch barbers within the same shop? I won't be able to take him at 9 in the morning anymore because I have to start work on Thursday. With that being said he will have to get a haircut in the afternoons when I get out of work. Also the barber shop is directly in front of Trey's school so I see his barber unintentionally almost everyday. We wave and he says "see you later this week" and of course I say "yeah."

Ooh! You cheated on E money!! Girl that's a tough call! I would say switch only because it's your child. if it was you! You'd have to change salons! Oooh drama!! And those guys watch you too! They know your every move HA!

I would say switch because you get better service. Just know that E Money is not going to be your friend. You can explain your reasons for switching though so at least he knows. Or, maybe tell E Money what worked with Trey. If he doesn't have children, maybe he just doesn't know.

I'm so glad Brayden's barber is in the house. He does the same thing as E Dub though. He lets Brayden play with the clippers and clean the hair off the clippers when done. And, Brayden gets to brush his hair at the end and admire himself in the mirror.

I think you should change and explain to E money why you are switching.

I agree with Bridgette and Bklynq. When I first started reading I thought....E Money doesn't have kids, or doesn't have boys. I say this because as much as I love kids and love singing, I don't think I'd be able to teach small children any songs. I just don't get it yet. ;)
