ZhuZhu Grooming Salon

Why ZhuZhu Grooming Salon Styled Its Way into 2010’s Top Toys

In 2010, the ZhuZhu Grooming Salon from Character Options gave kids a whole new way to pamper their favourite furry friends. Designed for ages 4 and up, this stylish salon playset was made for ZhuZhu Pets—the runaway hamster hit that scurried its way into Christmas lists around the country.

With rollers, mirrors, and accessories galore, the Grooming Salon allowed kids to wash, fluff, and style their robotic hamsters as they zoomed around the playset. Whether prepping for a party or just enjoying a spa day, ZhuZhu Pets could enter through one side, get a full makeover, and exit looking fresh and fabulous.

Fast, Fluffy Fun with a Fashionable Twist

ZhuZhu Grooming Salon added a burst of creativity to the fast-paced fun of ZhuZhu play. Kids could mix and match accessories, pretend to wash and blow-dry their pets, and use the functional features to send them spinning across the salon floor. It brought personality and humour to the ZhuZhu universe, expanding the imaginative possibilities.

Parents loved the interactivity and the way the set integrated with other ZhuZhu accessories. It encouraged pretend play, care-based storytelling, and gave kids an adorable space to personalise their favourite hamsters.

The ZhuZhu Grooming Salon remains a highlight of the franchise’s golden era, and it’s no surprise it featured on our Top 10 Christmas Toys of 2010 list. It turned fast-moving hamsters into style icons—and kept kids entertained with creative play and hilarious moments.
