The family of Danny Valdes, 11, said stepfather Arnaldo Fernandez, owner of Cutting Edge Barbershop, gave Danny a haircut in honor of attending his first Miami Heat game at the end of December and the style included the team's logo, area code and skyline being cut into his hair, WZVN-TV, Naples, reported Monday.

Arnaldo said the school's assistant principal called him about the issue. "I told her when he gets home from school I'll cut his hair and I'll make it toward their regulations," Arnaldo said. However, a school counselor performed the haircut with a pair of clippers, saying Arnaldo had given permission. "It's frustrating because to me it seems like they think they got the power to do whatever they want," Arnaldo said.

"I was just really upset because I didn't think their proper protocol was to cut his hair," she said. School officials said the counselor has been advised not to perform any more haircuts. Fernandez said she is moving Danny to a different school.
