Getting a haircut or ears pierced

There is no law that stops a parent with parental responsibility from taking a child to get a haircut or to get their ears pierced, but these are issues that can cause arguments between parents. It is sensible to mention it to the other parent and seek their consent first. If a parent takes a child to get their hair cut or ears pierced without the other parent knowing, this could cause tension between parents.
