We recently stumbled upon a new gem – and its vibrant palette of colours peeked out, just begging us to come inside.
Melonhead, a new hair-care centre for kids, has just opened its first Calgary location. We couldn’t resist making an appointment for later that day. Service was superb from start to finish, with our little princess getting the royal treatment.
Upon entering, her coat was taken and she was offered a seat on a plane, train, pony, motorbike or car (a quick decision it was not for our three-year-old). Most stylists are moms themselves and (after a brief consult with us) quickly set about their trimming, while making our youngsters feel like the star of the show.
A kid’s cut ($20) includes the whole kit and caboodle. Girls are dolled up with style, clips and glitter. Boys get some cool-dude styling with gel and a coloured faux hawk, if they so desire. If this is that all-so-special first haircut, we’ll leave with a photo, certificate and lock of hair to commemorate the special snip.
And on our way out, we couldn’t pass up a bottle of Melonhead’s handmade, kid-safe hair products ($9.95), like the Fuzzy Wuzzn’t Detangler.
Finally, choosing a place to care for our kids’ luscious locks is cut and dried.
