The LEGO Friends Hair Salon and Accessories Shop (set 42662) is a 347-piece building set depicting a hairdresser's with an adjoining accessories shop. The box includes 3 minifigures: Nova and Aliya as customers and Faraji as the hairdresser, along with wigs, combs, bottles and other salon items that hang on the shop wall.
Children first build the shop itself, complete with a large mirror, a till and a rotating display rack in the accessories shop next door. Afterwards they can act out stories: Faraji cuts and styles the wigs' hair, while Nova and Aliya try things on, choose items and pay at the till.
This is a play set, not a real salon: nothing is actually cut or coloured, and all the accessories are plastic, designed for pretend play based on what happens in a hair salon. The box states an age recommendation of 7 years and up.
It makes a fun gift for children who enjoy building and then continuing to play with minifigures, especially fans of the other little shops in the LEGO Friends range.
