Haircut at home

With clippers in hand, 10-year-old Zoe Goldstein gets ready to give dad, Jason, a haircut — the first one he had had in four weeks since the coronavirus shut down Houston.

During the stay-at-home order, Jason Goldstein’s hair was getting really long. He’d resorted to wearing hats every day. He remembered he had some clippers and asked his 10-year-old daughter, Zoe, a fourth grader at The Kinkaid School, to cut his hair. She’s come a long way from when she was 4 and found some scissors and cut her own hair (a lot of it). Learning to use the clippers was daunting at first, but she was up for the challenge and successfully cut her dad’s hair. Jason said of the experience, “This is a nice moment when it’s hard to find those nice moments.” For more and a video of Zoe cutting her dad’s hair, see “A Good Hair Day: Fourth Graders to the Rescue” by Jennifer Oakley.
