Maybe we should have named him Samson instead of Noah

I have a 2 1/2 year old (enough said?) He has decided that he doesn't want to have his hair cut. I took him a few weeks ago to have it done, and he pitched a fit. Kicked, pushed, cried, and just really gave a good show. I felt the eyes of the other patrons on me. I can only imagine they were thinking, "can't she control her child?" But if I had resorted to spanking him, someone would have called CPS and reported me for abuse!! So the lady did what she could to make it look halfway decent. I could feel her frustration and general displeasure with having to deal with it, so I tipped her well, thanked her and left... I have tried at home to trim it up, but no deal. I am afraid to take him back to a shop, because of the fit he pitched before. And when I tell him we are going to get his hair cut, he starts insisting he doesn't want to get it cut. He is like the rest of us, blessed with a full head of hair that grows really fast. So it looks really messy right now. I wish I had the answers. I don't know what to do. I don't like to spank, I have tried it before with him, but it doesn't work. So if it doesn't do the job of changing the behavior, why just continue to use it. I have never agreed with spanking children anyway. I don't think young children understand why the person that they depend on...the person who is suppose to be there to protect them, is causing them pain. I believe discipline is needed, and direction, but it varies with the child. Some things work with one that won't work with another. All three of mine were different in that way. That is just my thinking on the subject. For what it is worth. I am thinking that maybe if my husband takes him and holds him, maybe he will sit still for him. Hopefully it will work, otherwise, we will have a long-haired hippy child on our hands. Hopefully this is just a stage and not a glimpse of things to come as he gets older...
