Asking your kid in advance what the reward should be, and negotiating about it, also involves him in the process and makes him more invested in the outcome. It also gets you both in the habit of working these things out together in advance. KERRIE:

So, we go have his hair cut, but tell the stylist not to use them. He's okay with the scissors and I'm okay with his hairline not being quite even the way it would be if they used the clippers. Plus, I'm all for selected bribery - this is definately the time to use it! :) My older son absolutely hates the clippers and hair dryer.

The eldest because they pulled on him once and the youngest because the eldest was crying and carrying on. We got them to stop being scared by letting them see Daddy get his hair cut. They saw that he did not cry and carry on. That got rid of the sniffles in a snap. Good luck! My boys were both scared of the clippers.
