Princess pink descended upon Wellington in November 2013 with the opening of Little Princess Spa, a place where princess dreams of being pampered come true. Everywhere you turn at the Little Princess Spa, there is something adorable, delicate, dainty, pint-sized and pink. For little girls who wish to partake in the spa rituals of adults, Little Princess Spa is a dream come true. Co-owner Fernanda Santos, who would bring her 8-year-old daughter, Leona, to the Boca Raton location, chose to open a Wellington franchise after she learned that many parents from the area were bringing their little princesses to the Boca spa. A regular nail salon, she said, isn’t necessarily a good place for children,
especially with all the fumes. “This is more for them, something special for the kids,” she explained. Wellington was a natural choice for opening the second Little Princess Spa location. “I love this area. It’s very familiar, there are a lot of children here, and it’s very family-oriented,” Santos said. Every little girl, and the occasional boy, ages two to 15, who crosses the threshold into the Little Princess Spa is treated like royalty. The spa offers haircuts, manicures, pedicures, massages, facials, hair and makeup, in a-la-carte fashion, in packages and in themed parties.
They do a specialty event featuring aspects from Disney’s Frozen, where Elsa comes alive and sings and plays with the girls. The party queen package is also related to the popular movie, Santos said. Utilizing all six services is called the wellington the magazine | august 2015
