Hair salons for children in Singapore
Bringing your child to get his or her hair cut at a salon can be a tough challenge for some parents. Many children are nervous before a haircut, and it can be difficult getting them to sit still.
These kids’ hair salons are here to make the whole experience more enjoyable for the little ones. With car-shaped seats and entertaining cartoon shows thrown into the mix, regular hair salon visits will be something your child can look forward to from now.

Curly N Spike offers haircuts and styling in a funky space with Hollywood glamour, with plush purple backdrops and crown-shaped mirrors. There’s even a raised runway with “stage lights” where your child can strut along and take photos at post-haircut – sure to make him or her feel like a star.

Children can watch movies or play video games with the consoles installed at every styling station while getting their haircut. They also have hair-spray services (additional fee of $5) to add a temporary splash of colour when school holidays roll around.

Their services don’t stop there – they also host birthday parties with makeovers, with themes like Princess, Dazzling Divas and Rock Stars. Manicures are also provided, and every party ends off with a fashion parade that will serve as a confidence booster for children.

Here, there’s an emphasis on hygiene that will put parents’ hearts at ease. Original system units unique to QB House are used, with in-built sterilisers in each one where tools are cleaned, and disposable paper neck towels and new combs are used for every customer. Air washers are also used for cleaning up hair post-haircut instead of shampooing, making the whole experience fuss-free.
