Daniel is using craft supplies to make a funny face when Dad Tiger notices that Daniel's hair has grown long enough that he needs a haircut. Dad explains to Daniel what will happen by cutting the hair on Daniel's funny face craft.
When Daniel arrives next door for his haircut, Nana Platypus is already cutting Prince Tuesday's hair. Miss Elaina arrives to have her hair braided. Since Daniel is still a bit nervous, she takes a seat in Nana's special chair as Daniel observes. While Miss Elaina has her hair braided, Daniel make-believes that everything in Nana's hair salon is making music.
When it's his turn, Daniel takes a seat in the chair and feels more comfortable when Nana Platypus explains everything she will do during his haircut. Talking about what will happen makes Daniel feel much better about his first haircut.
