	My six-year-old managed to give my cat a haircut with her safety scissors while I was using the bathroom. Markers? PFFT. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Hey, I did that once too! Same age, even. 'Course, I also gave myself a haircut at the time, which led to probably the strangest looking chubby six year old girl with a bowl cut. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That seems to be the hair-cutting age. When I was that age, a classmate came to school with no eyebrows one day, because she had cut them off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Man, that seems like it'd be a little harder to do than hair. I mean, you try hard enough, and safety scissors will eventually cut through hair - you pretty much have to get a razor to go after eyebrows. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A friend of mine got rid of one of her eyebrows once. But that was because it was finals week and she didn't pay attention to when to stop plucking. I have no idea how a six-year-old would manage it. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	If you press the scissors right up against the brow bone, slightly-sharper-than-normal safety scissors will cut eyebrows. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I cut half of my eyebrow off when I was seven with the same pair of scissors my parents used to cut our toenails with. In retrospect, that's kind of disgusting, but I still think my mom was more terrified that kids will laugh at me in school because of my missing half-brow. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Haha, I did so too. I decided my bangs were too long and cut them off. It looked VERY strange. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Well, I didn't have a pet and my brother's hair was too short, so I just had myself to experiment on. A few days afterwards we had our photos taken in kindergarten. I learnt my lesson. My parents also would have much preferred it if I had painted myself or a dog instead of the living room walls. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	There are definitely a bunch of pictures of me from when I was six and decided to give my bangs a trim while I was in the middle of class. I also had really bad allergies at the time, so I had giant dark circles under my eyes all the time. Probably not one of my cuter phases. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	My little sister, when she was 5, gave herself a haircut when I was supposed to be watching her. Needless to say, I didn't get any money from that babysitting session. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I once decided to give my bangs a trim. But I had trouble cutting them evenly, so I had to keep cutting them shorter to try to make them even... That summer I had to put sunscreen on the top of my head to keep from getting sunburn on my scalp. Oh, and this occurred while in the same room as my father and sister, as they were watching TV.

We didn't have a cat, so my older daughter had to cut the younger's hair. The younger kid thought it was funny at first, but after being taken to the hairdresser and getting a bob she did not want to even it up as much as possible, she was furious and wanted her hair back. We explained that was impossible, but she was still angry.

So, of course, she let her sister do the same damn thing 6 months later.

	A friend of mine at school got tired of his fringe so he cut it off. He had normal mid-length hair except for a hand-sized patch of stubble above his forehead. Mind you, he was like 17 at the time. (Reply to this)(Parent)
