3. Consult on hairstyle and costume choices. Look through style books for ideas.

Tips for the Best Experience

Follow these tips to make the most of your boutique visit:

• Arrive 10-15 minutes before your scheduled appointment. Timeliness is important.
• Come with clean hair free of knots, tangles, or products. It helps the styling process go smoothly.

• Stay in character during and after. It helps build excitement.
