16. Scissors Paper Stone

Walking by this super-kid-friendly mini-chain, you might almost mistake it for a small indoor play space rather than a salon what with their fun chairs (cars, rocket ships, etc.), ultra-colourful walls and sideline activities (arts & crafts!

Scissors Paper Stone is a popular choice with its handy locations at Marina Square, Parkway Parade and on Level 2 of Forum.
