All That Sass

Sweet and Sassy Salon for Kids

Unlike every other kid on the block, yours didn’t get a PS2 for the holidays.

And you stand by that decision. Still, the guilt pangs from not indulging their wish lists like other mothers sometimes gnaw at your less-is-more parenting style.

Assuage the agony by taking the brood to Sweet and Sassy. The beauty salon offers an array of grown-up services such as haircuts, highlights, updos, even makeup application (an age-appropriate sheer or glittery version only) just for kids. Everything’s got a child-friendly twist, from the high-heeled shoe chairs, feather boas, and pint-size runway to the purple-themed pedicure pit and miniaturized manicure stations.

And their creative party packages (Pampered Princess, Glittery Girl Glam) are ideal for birthdays, bat mitzvahs, or showing up the poor gift-giving abilities of the other neighborhood moms.

Not that you would ever do such a thing.

Sweet and Sassy, 1246 Main Street, Southlake (817-251-6353 or sweetandsassy.com).
