Our parties are packed with fun and follow a schedule. Guests who arrive late may join the party at whatever point the party has progressed. For example, if the guests have already completed makeup and hair and have started dancing, the late guest will skip makeup and hair and join in the dancing.

Makeup is applied with disposable applicators. The same applicator is never used twice, even on the same guest. Mascara and eyeliner are not used. Over the years, we have tended to little girls from a multitude of ethnicities, as well as varying haircuts and hair textures. We are not, nor do we claim to be, hair stylists/beauticians; our hostesses are talented young girls who have taught themselves how to do popular up-dos via YouTube, etc. Our glittery up-do’s are solely for entertainment purposes. When styling hair, Hello Princess Staff uses anti-bacterial hand gel in-between guests. Due to sanitary purposes, combs and brushes are not used. All clips, hair extensions, bobby pins, etc are for each guest to keep, as they are never reused.

We know your little princess is excited to get their party started. however, we do need time to allow for cleaning, etc, between parties to guarantee the best party experience for you!
What type of nail polish do you use, and do you paint toes too?
We use nail polish brands such as OPI, Essie, Sinful Colors, Sally Hansen, etc. We are not a nail salon, and therefore do not remove nail polish prior to painting nails during parties - we will simply paint over any leftover chippy polish {naked nails are best!}. Due to health concerns we do not paint toes - fingers only!
