GREENWOOD, S.C. — Young children in Greenwood can get a fairy-tale makeover this Saturday, Nov. 14, when high school cosmetology students bring back their Bibbidi Bobbidi Beauty Camp.
The camp runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Greenwood’s G. Frank Russell Technology Center, located at 601 East Northside Drive, and is open to kids ages 3 to 11. Seats are tight: there are 80 in all, split into groups of 20 per hour. This is the camp’s second year, and organizers added an extra time slot after a strong debut.
A team of 26 cosmetology students drawn from all three Greenwood County school districts will staff stations for hair, nails and light makeup. Campers pick from six styles inspired by Disney princesses, including a Cinderella bun, bubble braids, space buns and a curled half-up look. Along the way, the students also show children how to brush their hair and paint nails the right way.
The base price is $30. Extras include a $10 bedazzle bar where kids can decorate a mirror, claw clip or hairbrush, a make-your-own lip gloss bar for $10, tinsel strands for $3 and tiaras for $5. Families must register online by 3 p.m. Friday.
Money raised goes back into the cosmetology program, including trips such as a planned spring visit by 15 students to a beauty trade show in New York City. The students next host a Mommy and Me spa night on Dec. 11.
The two-year program trains juniors and seniors to meet the requirements for a South Carolina cosmetology license, with 20 students chosen to start each year after an application and interview.
