A family salon in Arnold is preparing to open a new sensory area which will provide hair cuts for children with additional needs.
Pure Kutz, in Front Street, is designating an area for children who wouldn't usually like having their hair trimmed, which will include fibre optic lights, bubble tubes, touch points and TVs.
"We get a lot of children with additional needs and their parents get a bit apprehensive about coming and get stressed themselves," said Kelsie Carter, who runs the salon along with her husband, Gareth.
