Doll It Up

Sewing & Crafts for 18" Dolls

My Salon Doll

by

I have a doll to share with you today.  She is a beauty but beyond her looks, she is also a really unique doll.  This is the My Salon Doll and she made with real human hair.

I came upon My Salon Doll at a craft fair a few months ago.  Dolls were in little chairs with little girls fixing their hair.  This was an interactive experience with spray bottles, brushes, and curlers.  The little girls loved it.  I met Amber, the one behind these fabulous dolls.  She is gracious and kind and sent me home with this doll to share with you.

Meet Olivia.  She is one of many sweet dolls available at My Salon Dolls online.  You can see all of the dolls here.

Each doll is named and comes with a unique hair, skin, eye color and outfit combination.

Olivia has light golden brown hair and blue eyes.  She has an all vinyl body and fixed eyes so she can get wet and will not be damaged.

Her head has more movement than most 18″ dolls.  She can bend it forward.

…and she can bend it back.

Tilting the head to one side you can really see how it adds personality.

My Salon Dolls come with regular pierced ears.  The small hole works with regular human size earrings.  I think the flexibility to use regular earrings is really fun!

The My Salon Doll has rooted hair.  In comparison, American Girl dolls have wigged hair.  The rooted hair is more durable and that is helpful since playing with My Salon Doll’s hair is a must!

The hair is not overly thick.  You can see in the picture how her hair tapers at the ends. That detail adds a realistic element and makes it easier to style.

We had to try a hairstyle right out of the box.  My daughter curled it with a curling iron.  The curls have lasted really well.

I hope you enjoyed this close up look at Olivia.  Come back later, I have something really exciting to share!

  1. She certainly is a beauty! I really, really like her sweet face and beautiful eyes! I’ll go hunt for those dolls!

  2. It was a hard choice to choose my favorite, but I think It’s a toss up between Jade and Asleigh

  5. Olivia looks like my granddaughter. I can only imagine being able to play with my grand and Olivia at special teaparties, sleep overs, and spa day. Both are beautiful and oh so enchanting.

  8. Hi thank you for your email it was nice to hear from you. Your doll Olivia is beautiful. You are doing a great job. Have a good day I will keep intouch with you.

  9. I like the Brittany doll. Her coloring is like my daughter’s. I would be fun to dress up her hair as my daughter never liked having her hair done!

  10. After meeting all the girls I would have to say my favourite is Sydni. All the girls are gorgeous but everyone loves a cowgirl.

  12. Oh my they are even more beautiful then I expected. So hard to chose my favorite doll. I’m thinking #1 Syani #2 Maycee & #Olivia. But then I have two blondish Grand daughters and me. Maybe I need all three. They are ALL awesome

  13. My daughter is a Down Syndrome little girl who plays with the 18″ dolls She would love to have Olivia.or any of the three .We have built a 6 room house so she has room for her dolls forgot it also has 2 closets and bath with clawfoot tub

  14. My granddaughters both love your dolls and I can make the outfits. Think how happy they would be too share together! Olivia snd Amy are the most precious dolls and closest to my girls hair color etc. Guess I wish I could be a little one myself again, but seeing clothes is close enough to playing!

  16. being relatively new to the 18 inch doll world , i have been collecting wonderful patterns, but do not have a proper doll to use…. while i would love any of the dolls for myself, i see other comments by people who deserve one more than me…. just to let you know, that the offer is amazing !!

  17. Hi my name is Dianne. Your dolls are just beautiful. When you look into their cute faces and eyes they just melt your heart. They seen to say I love you too. Many be one of these days I can get Olivia. I like her the best. I like the color of her eyes and the color of her hair.
    Thanks,
    Dianne Saunders
