1987:

THE CRIMP n CURL HAIR SALON

(aka
THE PERM SHOPPE
or
THE CURL AND TWIRL PERM SALON)
with FIFI: White earth pony with blue mane and tail, pink bows symbol spread across back and haunches, repeated on cheek.

Well, this playset was introduced in 1987, and proceeded to have serious identity issues.
Sold in North America as the "Perm Shoppe", it's official UK name was the "Crimp and Curl Hair Salon" (this is what is written on my playset's box). However, one of the inserts also referred to it as the "Curl and Twirl Perm Salon", so take your pick, really!

The Salon came with many accessories for hair styling, far outdoing earlier playsets in it's variety. The back of the building, beneath the big heart shaped mirror was a water tank, and inside the playset, when opened, it was possible to have a real working flower-shaped shower to wash the pony's hair. The salon also came with other accessories - a trolley, a seat, a wrap to keep the ponies dry and clean - and ribbons and hairclips, as well as a setting lotion.


FIFI
The salon was sold - in all identities -with a "Twice as Fancy" theme pony called Fifi. Another candidate for Repeated Name Syndrome, Fifi shared her identity with a So Soft Pony from 1986. Because of her release with a playset, Fifi the Twice as Fancy Pony is fairly common on the second hand market.
