Haircut Havoc

Today at 2 years and 1 month old, Skye (my daughter has had her 10th haircut, yep that's not a misprint. 10 haircuts and the age of a little over 2.
I have heard so many horror stories about a child getting a haircut, and Tracy and I did have our fair share of yelling and screaming from Skye in the early stages of hair cutting.
Her first Haircut was at four months, and what an insane job that was. If she could of, she would have torn down the whole salon.
I don't think there's any magic cure for this, I think it would be something like, being tied up and for me to made to eat liver or something like that.
One thing we had tried while getting a haircut was with a bottle of milk, it worked for most of the time, and for those times that it didn't work, distracting her with one of the hairdressers hair clips, worked very well ( for about 3 or 4 minutes).
One thing I have noticed, is that the last two times her hair had been cut (the last cut was today), she just sat there for the entire 15 to 20 minutes.
Skye isn't the super child that is totally behaved in every situation, she's just a regular everyday kid (the most beautiful though).
I think the reason why she sat for so long, was the regular visits there, now every six weeks. It has also been different hair stylists too, so this isn't a factor.
I think most kids that only have a small amount of hair don't get use to it quite so quickly, as they may go to the hairdressers, only 2 or 3 times by the age of 2.
It looks as though patience and time is the best fix for this little problem of getting a haircut.
