Natasha Ryan, the proprietor of Trimz and Tantrumz Children’s Salon in Worcestershire, expresses her profound astonishment and delight upon learning that her establishment has been shortlisted for a prestigious award. Recognized in the At Your Service category of the Small Business Awards 2024, Ryan voices her elation at being acknowledged as a finalist, highlighting the dedication her team has shown in providing exceptional service to their clientele.
With branches located in Rubery and Kidderminster, Trimz and Tantrumz caters to a diverse range of children, including those with special needs, extending their services to clients in Redditch, Bromsgrove, Worcester, and beyond. The salon prides itself on fostering a safe and inclusive environment for children to receive haircuts, garnering acclaim for its outstanding customer relations and commitment to excellence.
Ryan, a 42-year-old Birmingham native, expresses gratitude towards the anonymous individual or group who nominated Trimz and Tantrumz for the award, emphasizing her astonishment at the recognition received. Reflecting on her passion for her work, Ryan shares her joy in interacting with children, particularly during festive seasons like Christmas, where she embodies the role of an elf to enhance the salon experience.
Founded seven years ago in Rubery, Trimz and Tantrumz emerged from Ryan’s observation of the challenges children faced in traditional hairdressing environments. Determined to create a space tailored specifically for children, Ryan transformed her salon with playful decor and amenities, catering to the unique needs of her young clientele. Despite the adversities posed by lockdown measures, Ryan and her team persevered, culminating in the expansion of their services with the inauguration of the Kidderminster branch.
The salon’s success resonates beyond Worcestershire, drawing patrons from distant locales, including London, where parents seek refuge after encountering reluctance from traditional barbershops. Ryan attributes this success to the salon’s distinct approach, emphasizing the importance of a skilled and empathetic team trained in autism awareness. Building strong relationships with both children and parents, Trimz and Tantrumz distinguishes itself as more than just a salon, embodying a commitment to unparalleled customer care.
With demand surging, both the Rubery and Kidderminster branches find themselves fully booked well into the summer months, underscoring the widespread appeal of Trimz and Tantrumz. Despite the bustling schedule, the salon remains dedicated to accommodating all children by appointment, ensuring that every visit is a memorable and enjoyable experience.
