The salon has a real playroom with toys, giving children something to do while waiting or after their haircut.

Confirm timing. Before visiting, confirm how many children are booked and the expected wait; one family was asked to wait 50 minutes.

The Bottom Line
Cut n Candy by SALLY Children Hair Salon is aimed squarely at children, with haircuts for babies, toddlers and older kids in a playful setting in Jumeirah Beach Residence. The biggest draw is the indoor play area: children can play before or after the appointment, and one parent says their toddler was able to play while the haircut happened. That makes it worth considering if sitting still is usually a struggle.
Reviews are especially positive about first haircuts. Parents describe patient handling of nervous children, and some received a small box or treasure chest containing the child’s first locks. The salon is also mentioned for girls’ manicures and a pink room, while parents may find a massage chair available during the visit.
Several reviews describe the space as clean, colourful and well organised, with toys, television and painting activities helping children settle in. There are practical cautions. One family reported being asked to wait 50 minutes despite registering for a 13:00 appointment, so confirm the timing and how many children are booked.
Another review described an uneven haircut costing 300 AED, while a separate braiding visit was reported as painful and unfinished. The overall feedback is warm, but it is sensible to confirm the requested style and price before work begins.
