Create a realistic salon corner with the Role Play Villages’ Hair wash Unit — a premium wooden wash station designed for commercial role play settings. Children can practise hair care routines, take turns as stylist and client, and develop language, sequencing, and social skills through meaningful, purposeful play.

Constructed from high grade birch plywood with a durable, wipe clean finish, the unit features a PVC upholstered seat (durable, water resistant vinyl) for comfortable, child friendly seating and a moulded plastic sink unit for realistic dry play grooming. Smooth, rounded edges and a child height layout make the unit safe and accessible for young children while remaining robust enough for daily use in busy settings.

Whether used as part of a full salon area or as a standalone feature, the Hairwash Unit adds authenticity, role play depth, and long lasting play value.
