80 JUNE - JULY 2019
Three-year-old Shivansh is due for a haircut, and our next stop, about
7 minutes away from Godrej Nature’s Basket, is Starfish Kids Salon.
It specialises in creating a stress-free environment for haircuts, an
experience that most kids find especially gruelling. Rai mentions
that she brings hers to the salon for their monthly grooming sessions
because the staff is trained to handle sensitive children and restrict any
outbursts to the bare minimum. Vihaan and Shivansh exchange cheeky
smiles as they get a brief respite from their mother’s no-screen rule and
catch up on some television at the salon. All is calm for a bit while the
kids’ eyes are glued to the cartoons. After he is finished, Shivansh is
presented with a cookie for all his troubles (and good behaviour).3 P.M. STARFISH KIDS SALON
