Today’s Less.com deal is a pretty good one.  I actually got the same deal a few months ago and took my two girls to Glaze and Glass myself just before Christmas.  The deal is pay $12 for a $25 certificate which you can then use towards your total at the store.  There are no hidden sitting fees or supply fees.  We went and each of the girls picked an item, Katrina painted a heart shaped votive holder and Mikayla picked a ceramic chicken?  Anyways I had the certificate towards $25 and I ended up paying an extra $10 towards the total cost of our 2 pieces, just to give you an idea what it’ll actually cost you.  I’m considering buying one of these certificates and only taking one child at a time as a special date with mom or dad so I don’t end up paying for extra costs.  But when we went the girls had a blast!  I was surprised how much they enjoyed it.  The store is set up nicely for groups of people to come in and has a corner set aside for kids.  There is a good selection of items to choose from and tons of beautiful paint colors to choose from.  Katrina wanted every shade of purple they had.  After the kids pick their pieces and paints we sit down to clean off our items and paint.  I think we were in the store for about an hr total.  Of course the kids wanted to keep painting but I can’t afford to just keep buying pieces so I told them we had to wait for another coupon.  Once you are finished painting they take care of the rest for you, glazing it and firing it for you.  Your items are generally available for pick up in less than a week.

Glaze and Glass also offers classes in glass-based art  as well as parties, classes for homeschoolers, corporate events, scouting activities, holiday camp classes and even a weekly children’s story hour.

This Less Daily Deal is $25 gift certificate for just $12—which means you don’t have to starve to be an artist.

I’m a little slow on the uptake with this one but I really wanted to be able to include photos of the new location and just could never remember to bring my camera, but I was determined to update my previous post about Haircuts for Peanuts.

In case you missed my previous post, Haircuts for Peanuts specializes in haircuts for children, and the occasional adult.  Although they prefer to only do childrens hair I like to get my hair cut there too because my kids can play in the waiting room while I get my haircut and I don’t have to worry about what they are getting into.

I found Haircuts for Peanuts about 3-4 yrs ago after trying to get the kids hair cut at Supercuts(that didn’t work so well)  I will never go back.  My girls just love Ms. Aprile and get very excited about going to get their haircut.  The experience starts in the waiting room which is bright and colorful with huge murals on the walls, and of course filled with toys for the kids.  They even have a TV with game system for older kids.  Also they have a popcorn machine for the kids.

They have 4 different stylists that are specially trained to deal with children.   All of their hair stylists are trained by licensed speech and occupational therapists and are very familiar with the techniques in dealing with children with special needs For example, they have toys used especially for autistic children at each hair station and they have learned special techniques for calming children down when they get upset.

They have different rooms to have your hair cut, each decorated in a different theme and has TVs so your kids are completely distracted from what is going on.  The cuts are quick and cute.  Girls can have ribbons put in their hair for free if they like.  And each child gets a quarter to pick a treat from the vending machine after their haircut, and a free balloon.  For us, we make it part of our day, we are in no hurry so we can stay and play in the waiting room after we finish.  The kids just love it there.

Their new location is in Perinton Square Mall  6720 PITTSFORD-PALMYRA RD., FAIRPORT, NY 14450

They are open Monday through Friday: 9am to 7pm
Saturday – Sunday: 9am to 4pm
They have cut as young as 3 weeks old on up.  Haircuts cost $15, and they can wash hair which is an additional $7 and needs to be requested when making your appointment.  Walk ins are welcome but appointments are preferred.

One way to save money is with their Haircuts Club card.  It costs $150 it lets you get 12 haircuts for the price of 10!  To purchase this card you have to pay cash so come prepared.  For individual haircuts you can charge it but they do prefer cash or check.

Looking for affordable hot weather activities the whole family can enjoy? Visit MAG and our neighbor, George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film. At the admission desk, request a half-off coupon (available with paid or member’s free admission). Then present the coupon at the Eastman House within seven days for half-price admission. Eastman House visitors heading to MAG will receive the same courtesy.
