As for the haircuts...I did haircuts for almost 2 hours at weigh-in, and I don't have any experience (formally.) I was just standing there, and had a kid ask me to trim his bangs, and before I knew it, I had a long line, approx. 15 feet long of other kids waiting to get trims/cuts. I asked some parents if they wanted to cut their own kids hair, but most said, "No, you're doing just fine." I told each and every one of them that I was not a hairdresser, but a nurse, and I apologized before I ever began cutting. Alot of them said to me, "just cut it so I can get to wrestle,I don't care what it looks like." I tried to leave many times, and was asked to stay there and help w/ the haircuts. My son even left me and went back to the hotel. My sincere apologies go out to any kid that felt like their hair got "butched." But in hind site, when kids get to this level of competition, the rules are pretty clear cut. If people don't want their kids hair cut by a non-professional, then get their hair cut prior to showing up to weigh-in...some of this has to fall back on the parents. Everyone wants to gripe about something, but the rules have been in place for a long time, and haven't changed recently...and the rules are always enforced when it comes to a state competition.
