CLOSE CUTS:- Hairdressing for special needs
Warren park. Kingston Hill KT2 7LX.
Surbiton Children’s Centre. Alpha Road KT5 8RS.
I’m Gina and I have 26 years experience plus I have a disabled child so I know how hard it is to take them to a salon and expect them to behave. Kids are relaxed and respond well to the playful environments, so give it a try we don’t bite! Parents can relax chat and read the papers over a coffee or two!
From only £ 5.00 per cut
