Would you like to open a hairdressing salon for children? In this article, you will find some tips and advice to offer an original and adapted version of a hairdressing salon to your future clientele.

A salon above all playful

What do children like to do? Play! So you need to offer fun and entertaining activities at every stage of your hair salon. So why not create a play area in the waiting room. They will feel much more comfortable going to get their hair cut. Now time for the cut: seat your little clients in children's seats shaped like planes, animals, etc. This will awaken their curiosity and they will be interested in what is happening.

It is very important to adapt your workspace to your clientele. That is why you need to arrange it by offering a form of play at each stage of their experience in your hair salon. Children will then be drivers with their parents to get their hair cut at your place. Do not be mistaken, children have great decision-making power! 

A secure salon

You will potentially have a very young clientele, so it is important to secure your workspace. Indeed, a hair salon can prove dangerous for little children. Protect your sockets with covers, keep all cutting tools out of reach, choose chairs with safety features, … It would be catastrophic for your image to have an accident. So please pay close attention to all this, as it could harm your business.

An evolving salon

Be careful to propose an evolving space, you will have young children, but also early teenagers. Be imaginative to please them as well. You can propose a space just for them by moving them away from the small children, for example.

The parent corner

Your salon is dedicated to children but they will be accompanied by their parent or a family member. Why not also offer them services? You will thus be able to make additional sales. Your salon thus transforms into a warm and family-friendly place.
