As my daughter’s birthday is rounding the corner, she will be 16 on July 15^th, I am reminded of the birthday party pressures that I went through when she was smaller.  I had the Twilight themed party with all the character cut-outs and games associated with the film and I even served the menu from Edward and Bella’s first date.  I had the American Idol party with a “green room” full of costumes, hair and makeup, and even the three judges. I also had a Spa party at my house and treated eight little girls to facials and mani/pedis and turned my living room into a salon “experience” complete with soft lighting, music, and covered all the furniture in white.  I actually needed a spa “experience” myself when the party was over.  😉  I’m so glad that those days are over for me.  However, I know that a lot of you are racking your brains of what type of party to have for your little girl without all the stress and work.  Why not visit a couple of our newer members and take the stress out of birthday parties and maybe get a little pampering yourself?

A couple of our members have started a new party experience.  Hair Academy, located at 144 Consumer Center Dr in Shawnee Square, has started booking Beauty Birthday Parties for girls ages five through twelve.  The party will include a hair style, nail polish application, as well as make-up application.  The birthday girl will receive a FREE haircut as well.  You can get all the information by contacting the Hair Academy at 740-774-HAIR.  I really wish that somebody was doing these parties locally when my Sydney was little, it would have certainly saved me a lot of time and stress from all the party planning and cleanup.  Call Hair Academy today and let them take the stress off of you to plan your little gals party.

Another idea is a Custom Spa Birthday Party from Captivating Salon and Boutique located at 63 E Water St.  Your little girl can choose from a menu of services including manicures, pedicures, facials, massage, no heat styling, and a photo session when everyone has been “beautified” to save the memory for years to come.  You create your menu so that every party is customized and no party is ever the same.  You can keep coming back year after year with a different experience every time.  It’s every little girl’s dream to be pampered, and maybe Mom can get in on the action too.  Call Captivating Salon and Boutique at 740-772-6000 to plan your menu for your spa party today!
