* Update 2025 - Pikku has now closed down, however a new children's salon called Little Locks Gosforth is now open at the same place with some of the Pikku staff *
Last week I took Sophia aged two to get her hair cut at Pikku on Gosforth high street, just outside of Newcastle. As a mum of three, I have been to many children hair salons over the years and Pikku is without a doubt the best one we have been to - I honestly think it is the best one in the Newcastle area.
Pikku is situated on Gosforth high street opposite the Brandling Arms right in the heart of the high street, it is just a few minutes drive from Newcastle city centre. Many of the buses to and from Newcastle pass through, it is also just a short walk from regent centre metro and there are two car parks located very close by.
The salon is bright and colourful and so appealing to both young children and adults alike. The walls are painted in bright primary colours of yellow, green, orange and white with cute animal stickers dotted around. The whole salon is child-friendly with safety gates on the stairs and everything is out of reach from small hands.
There are car chairs for children to sit in to get their haircut and also a salon chair for older children. Sophia had her hair cut in a car and there was an iPad attached to a stand at the front of the car so she could watch Peppa Pig to distract her whilst getting her haircut.
The stylist was amazing and so patient with Sophia and a total expert at distracting her so she could cut her hair.
After the haircut, Sophia was given a little crown to wear then the stylist started blowing some bubbles which finished things off perfectly, we were also given a balloon. The whole experience was so enjoyable for Sophia.
Pikku has made getting a haircut fun and exciting for children.
Located 173-175 High Street, Gosforth NE3 1HE
This sounds a lovely place....Perfect for little one's! It sounds like you's had a great time x
ReplyDeleteIt really is lovely and i am sure that every child will love it here xx
DeleteSo pleased to read someone else loves Pikku - it really is fabulous isn't it and so child friendly - thanks for the link too :D xx
ReplyDeleteIt really is fabulous and very child friendly, you are welcome about the link i loved your post xx
DeleteThat looks like a fabulous place to have children's hair cuts and I love the photos of Sophia in her cape and crown. I've never taken my two to a salon aimed at children - they usually get their hair cut at Grandma's house as she has a mobile hairdresser friend who visits every few weeks. They're generally quite good but some weeks are more challenging than others!
ReplyDeleteThank you Louise i love those photos too. I agree sometimes it can be so challenging getting children's hair cut xx
DeleteThis place looks amazing. I love finding a good children's hairdresser x
ReplyDeleteIt really is amazing Donna i won't be going anywhere else from now on xx
DeleteThis sounds amazing! What a great idea, my eldest just hates the hairdressers so I think something like this might make it a littler easier! xx
ReplyDeleteIt is so amazing, it makes getting hair cuts so stress free and enjoyable xx
DeleteAh, love the car idea! I just sat my eldest in the chair and cut her hair myself. I bribed her with sweets to get her to sit still. The salon sounds like a much better idea!xx
ReplyDeleteI don't think i am brave enough to cut there hair myself i would probably cut an ear off or something. xx
DeleteWow that looks amazing! Love the attention to detail for the kids, much more interesting than our hairdresser! x
ReplyDeleteIt really was so amazing and children love it x
