I think that each boy has a different relationship with haircuts and their hair
Simon keeps his head mostly buzzed, mostly because it's easy to maintain and wash. It doesn't touch him or give him sensory issues like other hair cuts. The only thing he doesn't love is the sound of the clippers or the feeling of it on his head. Ever since Price found weighted barber capes, Simon is a little calmer during haircuts with the added pressure to his shoulders.
Kyle loves wash days. (I'm gonna make a post about his regression headcannons soon) He loves having his head massaged and his curls nurtured with some good oils and proper products. Each boy has learned how to do his hair so that no matter who's the caregiver is, he can have nice hair. He's really good with haircuts if you let him watch something on your phone.
Johnny has his classic mohawk. He loves it, easy natural style, no hair touching his ears, less product used in the bath. He doesn't love haircuts, not because of sensory issues, but because he has to sit still for a while to avoid any nics to the skin. If he sits still for the most part, he gets a lollipop as a reward.
John has learned to cut and maintain all of his boys' hair because he will take any excuse to spend as much time with his boys as possible it's easier and cheaper than going to the barbers. It's the little one on one moments of cutting, washing and styling their hair that makes him feel closer to them.
Caregiver! Price who isn't as strict as you'd expect, except for with routine. Morning routine, night routine, nap times, mealtimes, and clean ups, he's on top of it all. He knows his boys need and do well with routine, so he makes sure to keep one. Also a big fan of sticker charts and treasure box treats.
Caregiver! Price who has learned how to cook at least minimally so his babies aren't eating microwave meals and MREs. He knows a few basic casseroles, and how to cook up veggies so that they get eaten.
Caregiver! Price who is great at soothing his boys no matter what. Nightmares? He's singing a lullaby and letting them cuddle in bed with him. Trauma induced regression? He's there for it with no judgment. Baby being just plain fussy? They get swaddled up and rocked in his rocking chair, being told a story.
Caregiver! Price who knows what it feels like to want love, attention, and care, so he works to provide that for his boys when they regress. He makes sure to have one on one outings with them. Making sure it's within their interests. Art classes at the library for Soap, puppet shows for Simon, and interactive museums for Gaz.
Caregiver! Price that never uses call signs or even real names with his boys. When they are little, it's either a shortened version of their name or a nickname.
Caregiver! Price who can't help but spoil his little ones a little A LOT, with toys they never had or lost during childhood, coloring books, movies, and even stuffed animals (the big ones that are practically body pillows) his boys can't have the full comfort of a nursery, and it's hard to find onesies that fit, so he makes up for it anyway he can.
Caregiver! Price, who was never able to settle down and have kids, realized that having his boys to take care of was just as fulfilling.
