And thanks to cousins Claire Adams and Louise Jones they can do just that at Calderdale's latest ultimate girlie party salon.

Pink Princess, Rawson Street, Halifax, is 33-year-old Claire and 28-year-old Louise's new business venture. Basically a mini makeover team transforms a birthday girl and her guests into princesses, rock stars or glamour queens before they dance the hours away at their own disco.

Claire, who lives in Shelf, has owned Coco Bay – a tanning salon in Rawson Street – with Louise for the past two years. She says it was their customers who gave them the idea for princess parties.

"We had a couple of spare rooms and basically they said their daughters would love to be pampered. We did some homework and felt a girlie party venue was just what the town centre needed," says Claire who owns another sun centre in Thornton, Bradford, but works as a swimming instructor in Bingley.

Louise who lives in Bradshaw, Halifax, also has another business. She runs her own beauty salon, Therapy Skin Care, within Toni & Guys hair salon in the town centre.

"I've worked with children all my life as a swimming instructor and Louise has her beauty skills," says Claire who claims girls will be spoiled for choice at their parties.

As well as getting their hair curled or put up, party goers can have their nails polished and gems added, have glitter put on their faces and bodies and try out a foot spa.

They can dress up as a Disney character, Barbie, ballerina, princess or pop star and dance to their favourite songs under a flashing disco ball, try their hand at karaoke or make beads and paint pebbles.

If they get hungry they can decorate cup cakes or help themselves to the pink chocolate fountain, popcorn or candy floss machine. "Everything is of course pink and very girlie and we can cater for just about anything parents or youngsters want. We can play party games or provide food and party bags," says Claire.

The two hour parties for a maximum of eight girls, cost £100, and are aimed at five-year-olds upwards. They can be held at weekends and evenings. "We want them to have the time of their lives and leave feeling glamorous and pampered," says Claire who is also planning party days for parents who want to go Christmas shopping.

"During December I'd like to look after children from around 10am to 3pm while their parents go shopping. We could give them lunch and keep them entertained," she says.
