BARROW'S first children-only barber's shop is celebrating its 21st birthday today, having cut and styled the hair of hundreds of youngsters over the years.

Just Kidding is still going strong after opening in the front room of Lynne Ashton's home in Greengate Street in 1995.

The business was set up by Lynne Ashton and Liz Miles to give children a comfortable, fun experience while going to the hairdressers and has attracted a loyal customer base.

Some of the personal touches, such as giving children a lollipop after their haircut, have made Just Kidding a special place for many families.

Mrs Ashton now lives on Walney but still works at the salon which her daughter, Mikayla Whitehouse, lives at - ideal for her children whenever they need a trim.

Mrs Whitehouse said: "She still does a number of customers who have been there since the salon first opened 21 years ago.

"My son Zac had had two hair cuts by the age of eight months. I think he'd cottoned on that he got a lollipop."
