I have always cut the kids' hair so they have always been curious about what a hairdressers' is like. Today we created 'Mummy's Hairdressing Salon' which essentially constisted of a sign on the kitchen door:
A 'waiting room' - including a print out of some hairstyles I found online which I thought I might be capable of achieving. When they arrived I offered them drinks and then asked them about their holidays etc. They did imply that they thought I might have gone completely mad:
All the hairstyling stuff I could find in the house:
A front desk (the bottle of wine is not an intentional part of this setup!) I checked them in when they arrived by opening a random file and then closing it again. I'm fairly sure nobody noticed ...:
The 'salon' (aka a mirror and a stool. And also some more booze I've just noticed. I probably should have moved that before I took all the pictures (hic)):
Appointment cards (I filled these in and then they got to practice their telling the time skills to make arrive for their 'appointment' on time):
And a price list (they added up what they were having and then paid with play money, working out the change. How very educational ...):
The finished hairstyles looked like this. Even if you don't trust yourself to cut your kids' hair, you can still style it and have some fun. My kids have loved this today and have pranced around for the rest of the day wafting their hair about (or as far as it will 'waft' with the amount of hairspray I put in it!):
