Kiddie Spas and Salons in NYC

In the past, we've done posts about children's hair salons in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Some of them offer full-service party packages for little beauty queens.

Cozy's Cuts for Kids – Upper West and Upper East Sides
Visit the website for locations.
Although best known for its children's haircuts, this local chain also offers a couple of beauty party packages. The Ultimate Beauty Bash includes hair styling, mini-manicures and makeup, plus dancing for the done-up guests. The Ultimate Beauty Bash Deluxe includes all that plus cake and paper goods. Packages start at $695 for 10 kids. For a more intimate experience, there's the BFF Beauty Day package: For $45 per child, two pals get an hour-long makeover and gift bag. Cozy's also offers at home party options.

Sharkey's Cuts For Kids – Upper East Side
1359 Second Avenue at 72nd Street
This national children's hair salon chain also hosts Glamour Girl parties with the usual activities (hair styling, mini-manis and makeup), plus extras like a fashion show and photo shoot, and pizza, paper goods and party favors. For prices or to book a party, fill out the form on the website.

Felicity for Children – Park Slope
This salon has closed
Unlike most kids' hair cutting places that cater to preschoolers with funky chairs and Nickelodeon DVDs, this swanky salon is specifically aimed at girls ages 8 to 18, so it's great choice for a party for tweens or teens. A number of different packages are offered, and options include spa manicures and pedicures with choice of nail design, music and dancing, and a "beauty art project." Prices start at $290 for five kids.

Rub A Dub Parties for Kids – Laurelton
225-16 Merrick Boulevard between 225th and 226th Streets
Founded by a mother-daughter team when the child, Jamila Thompson, was just seven, this Queens spa is based on Jamila's vision. Parties are held in a private room and activities include mini-facials, mini-manicures, massages, makeup, glitter tattoos and a climactic runway show. Themes like princess, diva and glamor girl can also be added on. Prices start at $450 for 10 kids ages 8 and up.

 

Spa Services That Come to You

If you've got the room or are renting a party space, there are plenty of services that will bring the salon to you. In fact there are so many, we couldn't possibly list them all here. We've heard good things about:

Ritzy Glitzy Girlz Club

Of course you can also throw your own spa party. Ban the boys from your house for the day and recruit some friends or a few babysitters/teenagers to help. Buy a bunch of fun nail polish colors, cut up cucumber slices, get some fun hair accessories and pamper away! You could even get a recipe for the girls to concoct their own homemade face mask for facials. Don't forget to light scented candles, play mellow music and mix up some fruit smoothies.
