Edinburgh Children’s Hair Salon Expands Into Borders Region
Kids Stop, a children’s hair salon dedicated to providing stress-free haircuts, is expanding into the Borders region. The new location will be situated at 27 Northgate in Peebles. Owner Naomi Angus expressed her commitment to creating a supportive environment for both parents and children.
Expanding Services in Peebles
Naomi Angus, a parent herself, understands the challenges that often accompany haircuts for young children. “I wanted to bring something that genuinely supports parents and children without them needing to travel far,” she remarked. Her love for Peebles and its family-oriented community played a crucial role in her decision to establish a salon there.
Unique Offerings
The Peebles salon plans to include various creative workshops alongside standard haircut services. Upcoming activities may feature:
- Craft workshops
- Jewelry-making sessions
- Lego building activities
These additions aim to enhance the overall experience for children, making visits more enjoyable. The salon will also provide treats and entertainment during haircuts, ensuring a pleasant atmosphere.
Certifying Milestones
Children receiving their first haircut at Kids Stop will receive a certificate to commemorate this significant milestone, making it a memorable occasion for families.
Owner’s Background
Naomi Angus took over the original Edinburgh location of Kids Stop in 2018. With two decades of experience in children’s hairstyling, she has honed her skills and built a successful business. She noted, “It was natural instinct to want to move on and grow,” given the salon’s popularity and busy schedule—often fully booked on weekends.
Anticipated Opening Date
While a specific opening date for the Peebles location has yet to be announced, Ms. Angus hopes to welcome clients by early March. The expansion into the Borders represents a significant step forward for Kids Stop, enhancing its reach and service offerings for families in the area.
