The Good Stuff
Playtime Bonus
Some haircut visits include 30 minutes of play-area access, giving children something to enjoy before or after the cut.
Child-Friendly Setup
A themed cop-car chair and a screen playing children’s shows helped one hyperactive 2-year-old stay calm during her haircut.
First-Cut Keepsake
For a first haircut, one family received a certificate and toys, turning the appointment into a small milestone occasion.
Spacious Play Area
The play area is described as spacious, clean and stocked with enough activities to keep children occupied while parents supervise.
Camp Activities
A summer-camp review describes activities balanced between fun and education, with daily updates, videos and photos for parents.
Birthday Parties
Customers have used the venue for birthday parties, with decorations receiving specific praise.
Tips for a Better Visit
Wear Socks. Bring socks for the play area; one reviewer says they are required for children using it.
Confirm Playtime. Ask whether your haircut includes play access and for how long, since one customer received 30 minutes free while another described separate charging.
Show The Cut. Bring a clear reference photo or explain the desired style carefully, as one review describes a misunderstood haircut that had to be redone.
Check Hygiene. Before the appointment, ask how tools, capes and chairs are sanitised, given a reviewer’s post-visit lice concern.
Ask Availability. Check staffing and appointment availability ahead of time if your child needs extra support; one reviewer reported difficulty handling a 3.5-year-old.

The Bottom Line
BAMBINO KIDS ZONE & SALON in Al Nahda is built around two jobs in one visit: children’s haircuts and indoor play. Reviews describe gentle, patient handling of toddlers and babies, including first haircuts where children stayed calm with cartoons, a themed cop-car chair or an entertaining stylist. The play area is a major draw, with one haircut visit including 30 minutes of free play.
Customers have also mentioned summer camp activities, birthday parties and a head-shave service for a seven-day-old infant. The venue suits families who want the haircut to feel less like a negotiation and more like an outing. A first haircut may come with a certificate and toys, while the play zone has been described as spacious, clean and varied.
Socks are required for play, so bring them. It is also worth asking exactly how much playtime is included and whether the area is separately charged. There are important caveats.
Reviews include a reported ear injury during a haircut and a separate allegation of head lice after a visit, alongside concerns about tool, cape and chair sanitation. Other customers mention changing staff, uneven haircut quality and periods of understaffing. If the cut matters, show a clear reference and confirm who is available; if hygiene or supervision is a concern, ask questions before leaving your child in the play area.
