I really like the girl who has cut my hair the past few times. She's young and sweet and there's just something about her that I like and trust. She always seems really interested in the kids and has offered several times to babysit. It sincerely seems like she wants to. She used to nanny for a family with, get this: SIX children under EIGHT. Which, on paper, makes her more qualified to watch my kids than I am.
So I called her and asked her to watch David for me while I take Katy to meet her preschool teacher and see her classroom. Here's the silly part: it has occurred to me that I'm going to feel self-concious about my hair that morning. I mean, of course it never looks nearly as good as when they style it. And when you go back in for another haircut, it's like you're admitting: "Hey, I know this looks bad. That's why I'm here. Help me out, give me a cut." But when you see your hairdresser in between haircuts, you have no excuse. Supposedly I am satisfied with the way my hair looks today, because I'm not back at the salon, getting a new one. And I can tell you right now that on that Thursday morning at 9am, it's not even going to resemble the way she left it a few weeks ago.
And of course I hope she's good with the kids, too.

Hope the babysitting arrangement works out and OMG, I would probably spend an hour on my hair that day!
That's funny. If it makes you feel better one of the testers that works for me used to be a trainer at Gene Juarez before switching to software and ever since the wedding has been my hair dresser. She sees me every weekday and I guarantee you I almost never have time to do my hair in the morning. So, don't sweat it! ;-)
Seriously, don't worry about your hair any more than you usually do.
My best friend through Elementary School and beyond (we still keep in touch a little today) went to trade school our last two years of high school to be a beautician. She did that for a year, then decided she wanted to go to college to be a teacher. She ended up coming to my college, and we got to hang out a lot again. Anyway, she laughed at how often people were concerned about their hair in front of her. It honestly never bothered me, but we'd been friends since we were 6 years old and I didn't think anything of it even if she did cut/style my hair once a month. She said it never mattered to her that her family/friends/clients had their hair just so in front of her. She didn't focus on that at all.
I tell you this to try to set you at ease. Good luck.
