Tantrum Salon - Doing it for the Kids

Posted by Kate
Dated: July 8, 2008 5:05 PM

For many mums and dads, one of their biggest nightmares can be taking a young child to the hairdressers, but at the ironically named Tantrum it should be a dream experience - for parents and children.

Every element of the salon in King's Road, London, has been designed to ensure young clients are entertained while their hair is cut, and parents get to chill out while it's happening.

Tantrum co-owner Latasha Malik says: "We wanted Tantrum to be more than just a hairdressing salon - we wanted it to be a place where kids enjoyed hanging out and parents could have a fantastic experience too.

"We knew exactly what we wanted and our designer brought it together in a very special way. We knew we needed to create something unique. When you walk into Tantrum the experience is quite different - the look and feel was thoroughly thought through."
