Relaxation and small child – two phrases not often paired together. Good news, we’re making it happen. We’ve rounded up nine ‘mum-friendly’ salons that you can head to, baby in tow, without the stress. From space to park up your stroller, to ‘mini me’ matching mani packages, here’s where to head with your little one. Relaxation guaranteed (subject to child’s behaviour).

1 Coco Nail and Beauty Bar, London
Best for: mini mani-pedis
Coco Nail and Beauty Bar offer a ‘little hands and feet’ package for under 11s. Mum can kick-back with a glass of something fizzy, while your wee one is treated to a little pampering. A great spot to head to for Mother’s Day (and basically a gift for mum and child).

2 Butterfly Hair Boutique, Manchester
Best for: hair styling
Butterfly Hair Boutique opened in 2013, and soon became a top spot in Manchester for great hair. Owner Louise is a mum of two, and has created a family-ran, friendly space where everyone is welcome for some pampering; mums, dads, and 4-year-olds alike.

3 Blo Bar, London
Best for: child-friendly distractions
Blo Bar, in Chiswick, is famed for its hair-transforming treatments. But, the real joy comes in the facilities. The salon has a creche – full-blown, blow-up-tent, toys and all, creche. Rejoice. There are Samsung tablets, complimentary cupcakes, and hot drinks to enjoy too. Permanent residency?

4 Shavata Brows and Beauty, London
Best for: a solo trip
This luxury brow bar and beauty salon offers an extensive menu of lash, brow and nail treatments. You’ve probably spotted their space in House of Fraser, John Lewis, or Harvey Nichol (yep, they’re big-timers). The team also offers children’s manicures and pedicures for under 15’s, and with serious expertise in the industry, you know your little one’s hands are, well, in good hands.

5 Show Dry, London
Best for: a group mum-trip
Show Dry is the spot for a great blow dry in London. Specialists in hair care, the Show Dry stylists will spruce up your locks, and get to work on the kids’ hair too (with an express blow dry service available for little ones). With a (very, very cute) children’s play area, and a drinks bar, featured at the salon, it’s a dream location for everyone.
-
6 The Glamour Garage, London
Best for: child-friendly treatments
The Glamour Garage was voted Treatwell’s Salon of the Year in 2018. Open 7 days a week means finding time for a mum date is a little easier. If you’re taking the kids too, there’s a choice of children’s pamper packages, from ‘Mini Glam Girl Haircut and Blow Dry’, to ‘Mini Glam Girl Braids’. Smiles all ‘round.

7 Kiren’s Hair and Beauty, Leeds
Best for: space for pushchairs
Kiren’s salon and day spa offers a wide range of indulgent treatments, from microdermabrasion to intimate waxing. Their team of expert professionals will get the relaxation going, while a large waiting area means there’s plenty of room for accessibility, and parking-up pushchairs (with sleeping babies).

8 Paint Hair and Nail Bar, Manchester
Best for: stalking the interiors
Another stellar spot in Manchester for hair and nail treatments, Paint breathes a ‘cool, but chic’ vibe, in its Soho loft-style location. Their beauty experts are sure to boost your mood with their feel-good treatment menu, and will get the little ones feeling special too.

9 Naked Hare, London
Best for: chilled-out atmosphere
This picture says it all. Naked Hare are pros at welcoming mums and babes alike, realising that multitasking is the way of the world.

Naked Hare are real pros at hair removal, so make sure to head here if it’s a wax you’re after.
