Beauty school birthday parties on a budget

Preteen girls can have local beauty schools host their birthday parties and get their makeup (if Mom allows), hair and nails done for $8 to $20.

When preteen girls as young as 5 get their first manicure, pedicure or updo at birthday parties held in Twin Cities' beauty schools, it's all about making them feel special and beautiful. "It's a girly thing," said Becky Carver of Nail Tech and Beauty School in Oakdale.

Prices range from $8 to $20 per kid. Painting flowers and hearts on their nails is popular, although at Nail Tech they can also request up to three different polish colors, including Pompeii Purple, Sonoran Sunset and "I'm not really a waitress" red. Here's a list of schools hosting the fun. Check Variety on Sept. 15 for a list of beauty school bargains for adults.
