Fancy Beauties is a hair salon in a bag. Instead of a box of colours, it gives a girl the two tools she sees in every parlour: a hair dryer and a round curling brush. She can style a doll, a little sister or her own hair, then finish the look with clips, lipstick and a ring.

The toy hair dryer is purple with a pink nozzle and a pistol-grip handle, and the toy curling brush has a long pink handle with a slide switch and soft cream-coloured bristles around the barrel. Both are pretend-play pieces with no cord and no heat, which is exactly why a small child can be trusted to use them on a cousin's hair.

The makeup side is small and pretty: a heart-shaped eyeshadow palette with a pink bow and applicator, and a lipstick in a purple case. The hair accessories are what most girls reach for first. There are two pink oval hair clips topped with purple hearts, two large purple flower clips with a pink gem in the centre and a ring with a sparkly purple heart.

All of it rides in a pink zip bag with a clear front and two long handles, printed Fancy Beauties with a smiling girl on the corner. Zip it shut and the whole salon goes to a friend's house, to the grandparents for the weekend or into the car for a long drive.

We suggest it from 3 years, because the clips and ring are small. Order the Fancy Beauties hair salon set at Rs. 1,550 with Cash on Delivery anywhere in Pakistan, including Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Peshawar and Multan; stock, city and delivery charges are confirmed on WhatsApp before dispatch.
