Timmy is scared each time he hears the word "haircut." He feels that his body is going to get cut. So, it was really an issue for Timmy when his mom told him he needed to have a haircut to get himself ready for the birthday party of his best friend, Taylor. Timmy's parents try to convince him that having a haircut is safe and painless, but he just wouldn't feel safe enough to get that done.

At the hair salon, Timmy continues to protest against having a haircut. What could be the way forward? Can the hairdresser succeed where Timmy's parents failed and convince Timmy to have a haircut, and if she does, what could she have said or done differently? If she doesn't, what happens to the birthday celebration?

Gordana Koljuskov is an experienced hairstylist, having spent over twenty years in the profession. She spent most of those years as a children's hairdresser. So, it follows that she must have come across so many children with different attitudes toward having a haircut. She has decided to make a children's story out of this with the help of her daughter, Neda Koljuskov.

Gordana has done a great job creating a very skillful, kind, and friendly character like herself and creating a perfect character that depicts most children's attitudes towards haircuts. The hairdresser's approaches are simple and powerful, and I did appreciate how those helped address Timmy's concerns. I found Timmy's character realistic. He has valid reasons to be scared, and most children his age would act the same. There is a short note at the end of the story that would help parents get their children to feel safe and comfortable enough for a haircut.

The illustrations are amazing. The attention paid to the editing is commendable. I didn't find any grammatical errors in the book. There is nothing that I disliked in this book, and given the aforementioned merits, I rate it five out of five stars. "My Trip to the Hair Salon" is recommended for every child who gets scared or feels uncomfortable whenever it's time to have their haircut. It is also a suitable read for every other child, as the story is fun (especially the account of the incidents at the hair salon) and educational.
