Editorial Review

It's no surprise that Barbie has always had impeccable taste in hair and clothing, but Salon Surprise Barbie melds the two interests. This beauty set allows for the hip girl to let her hair down--and have it colored pink. Put her in the chair, load the hair dryer with ice, plug it in, flip the switch, and style. The cold air from the dryer highlights streaks of hot pink in Barbie's otherwise golden locks. To reverse the effect, simply blow warm air on her head. But the surprises don't stop there. Both her skirt and halter-top are reversible, allowing four different outfit combinations: she can go for casual chic in purple and flowers or be totally glam in her signature pink. Other accessories include a pink brush and comb, four barrettes, a purple mirror and brush, and a curly blond wig attachment for a fuller head of hair. --Pam Lauer

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty in Pink (Hair), January 16, 2002

Salon Surprise Barbie is a delight. She has an exceptionally sweet face, her hair style is a great combination of feminity and stylishness, and she sports the new body type. She comes packaged with her pink highlights showing, but her hair is normally a platinum blonde with only a faint trace of pink. The hair dryer is powered by two AA batteries and works very well. Her pink highlights can be placed as a few subtle streaks, or she can be put in the fridge for a couple of minutes to bring out the whole lot. She can be brought back to all platinum blonde again after a couple of seconds under a hot hair dryer. She comes with a curly hairpiece that fits over her hair like a hair band, but looks a bit odd over her dead straight hair. The clothes are OK, and make 4 different outfits, and her tiny hairclips, shampoo bottle, comb and brush are really cute, although easily misplaced. All in all, a great doll for little girls who aspire to be hairdressers!

Barbie doll is ready for her next big event, with a salon with working hair dryer, fun color-change hair and magical mix 'n match fashions. Girls can put Barbie doll in the salon chair, then style her hair in lots of different ways. By using the battery-operated hair dryer, girls can change Barbie doll's hair from blond to pink! Barbie also has a curly hair extension for a whole new look. Barbie doll's top and skirt transform from a casual day look to a glamorous evening fashion. Comes with mix-and-match fashions to create four different looks, four hair barrettes, brush and comb. Color-change hair extension, salon chair, hair dryer, brush, comb and four hair barrettes.

The girl to whom I gave this present already had an ample number of items in the Barbie category on her shelves, and I did have a moment of wondering if yet another would be a welcomed gift. To say that it was indeed would be sheer (perhaps "shear") understatement! She has not only had enormous fun with playing the hairdresser, but has used a good deal of imagination (the key, I would say, to fully enjoying the "Barbie experience") in the process. The well coiffed Barbie is always en route to some place in my niece's play, and preparing Barbie for the outing is a highly imaginative and delightful exercise. I would designate this a true five star gift!
