Describing itself as Singapore's first dedicated selfie blowout bar, bonbon blowout bar+ is also the perfect place for some parent-and-child pampering!
The bonus: Cute dessert-themed styling stations with tablet consoles. Bah, and all we had when we visited the salon in our childhood were dog-earred copies of Lao Fu Zi comics.

Forgot to pack your child's toys or iPad? No problem – this salon chain provides them to keep their young charges entertained.
After the haircut, your kid gets a photo taken. This is then uploaded to a private database which can only be accessed by you.
They also have a loyalty scheme here: the eighth haircut is complimentary.

Who knew getting a hair trim could be such a rewarding ride?
