A kids-friendly beauty salon inside Radisson Blu Anchorage Hotel, Victoria Island.
Haircut. Hydration. A story bunny for the ride home. The products Nigerian parents already love online are now sitting on a shelf you can actually touch — right in the middle of VI.
MOM & I is not a typical beauty salon. It is a family-facing space inside Radisson Blu Anchorage Hotel on Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue — a place where parents book kids’ haircuts, sit for their own treatments, and move through the day without treating children as an afterthought.
That is the same instinct behind iamspecial®. Since 2019, the Lagos-based store has curated baby and kids products that meet international safety standards and still feel beautiful in a Nigerian home. Nursery furniture, car seats, playtime pieces — and, increasingly, the everyday bottles that live in the bathroom.
Putting those bottles and toys inside a kids-friendly salon is simple: parents are already there. The child is already in the chair. The last thing anyone wants is another lagos-traffic trip to “pick something up later.”
What’s on the shelf
Zoey Naturals — skincare made for babies and kids. Loved by mamas.
Zoey Naturals is plant-based, hypoallergenic, and made in the USA. Formulas are tear-free, pediatrician- and dermatologist-tested, and free from parabens, phthalates, sulfates and harsh chemicals. Naturally scented — never synthetic “baby smell.”
How to shop it
You do not have to choose between clicking and walking in.
- In person: MOM & I Beauty, Radisson Blu Anchorage Hotel, 1a Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue, Victoria Island, Lagos. Ask for the iamspecial® corner while you wait — or after the cut.
- Online: iamspecial.ng — same-day delivery across Lagos and nationwide shipping.
Stock rotates with demand. If you want a full scent set (wash + lotion + bubble bath + conditioner) or a particular Alilo colour, message iamspecial® before you drive, or order online and collect the rest later.
A small ritual, done well
A kids’ salon visit has a rhythm. The chair. The cape. The “sit still.” Then the walk back through the lobby. That is a good moment for a bottle of Sweet Citrus that smells like actual fruit, or a lavender wash that turns bath time into the last calm hour of the day.
iamspecial® was built because premium, safe baby gear should not only live on a foreign website. MOM & I was built because children deserve a salon that does not treat them as a disruption. Together, they make one ordinary Saturday in VI a little easier.
