Pretend Play Salon - Toy Vanity Set Complete Play Hairdressers Kit (1+ Years)

It depends on what your child likes acting out. The hairdressing set includes a toy hairdryer, scissors, mirror, comb, shampoo bottle and hair straightener, so it suits a child who likes washing and styling routines. Jaques suggests pairing it with their Wooden Makeup Set for a fuller salon setup. If you only want one to start, pick the hairdressing set for hands-on tool play, and add the makeup set later for the complete pretend salon experience.

The set is made with non-toxic, water-based paint, and Jaques lists it as suitable from 12 months up. The hairdryer piece is described as lightweight and sized for little hands, which matters for a child this young who will mouth and grip everything. There is no battery or motor mentioned, so there is nothing electrical to worry about. Always supervise play at this age regardless of the toy.

Jaques lists this set as suitable from 12 months, and the suggested age range given is 3 to 5 years old. So it spans toddlers through preschoolers, which fits its purpose of teaching early self-care and styling routines through roleplay. Older preschoolers nearing school age may outgrow the simple tool set as their pretend play gets more complex, but for the 12 month to 5 year window it is squarely aimed at that stage.

The set includes a toy hairdryer, scissors, a mirror, a comb, a shampoo bottle and a hair straightener, described as the complete hairdressing set with all key styling accessories included. The overall footprint is 21.5cm by 16cm, so it is compact enough for a small play table or floor space. It arrives in Jaques' signature ribbon-tied gift wrap, ready to give without extra wrapping.

Beyond the pretend cutting and styling, Jaques designed it to support early development. It is meant to build fine motor skills through gripping and handling the scissors, comb and straightener, and to promote focus by giving a young child a structured, independent play task. It also encourages roleplay that supports creativity and communication. So the core play value is imaginative styling, with motor skills and focus as the side benefit.

Source information does not detail specific cleaning steps for this set. What is confirmed is that the paint used is water-based and non-toxic, which matters for a toy handled constantly by toddlers. Beyond that, treat it as you would other painted wooden toys, avoiding soaking, and check Jaques directly if you need specific cleaning guidance for this exact set.

Jaques states two things: the toy is suitable for ages 12 months and up in the main description, while the suggested age list given is 3 to 5 years old. Read together, this suggests the set works from around a child's first birthday through the preschool years, with the 3 to 5 range likely reflecting the stage where a child gets the most out of structured pretend salon play rather than a hard cutoff.

It is positioned by Jaques as a gift for kids aged 12 months and up, and it comes beautifully presented in their signature ribbon-tied gift wrap, so it is ready to hand over as a first birthday present without extra wrapping needed. Since it is suitable from that age and encourages early roleplay and motor skills, it fits a first or second birthday well, especially for a child showing interest in copying parents' routines.
