Glitter, Sparkle and More Glitter Please

Caroline Hennessy from Little Rose Buds Pamper Parlour tells us about Tralee's newest salon and how anyone can become a princess for the day. 

What is Little Rose Buds?

We’re a fun, luxury children’s salon where our clients can rock their best princess life for the day. We do up-styles, braids, with or without glitter, and a lovely foot soak, pedicure and foot rub with fizzing bath bombs, while our clients sit upon the princess thrones. We also do manicures finished off with the child’s choice of polish. All our treatments include a fruity mocktail and the child gets to wear a little customized bath robe or princess dress during the pamper. 

Who is it for?

From toddlers to pre-teens, Little Rose Buds is for those who love a bit of pampering, sparkle, and make-believe. 

What sort of packages do you offer?

We have a whole range of treatments and packages that we can tailor for all sorts of events like birthday parties with princesses or mascots, communion packages, flower girl packages and solo pamper packages too. Mum can join in with our exclusive Mummy and Me package that includes afternoon tea, served in our specially-built castle, plus the option of a foot soak with a file and polish. Of course, this package is for any adult and child so dads, aunts and grans can join in too. Packages are booked for 2 hours so the salon is completely yours for the duration of the party. We also have themed events, tik tok discos and glow discos, and we do seasonal events for Halloween, Easter and a special snowscape-themed Santa’s grotto at Christmas time.

Our most popular package is the Full Pamper which includes hairstyles, foot soak with bath bombs, pedicure, manicure and mocktails. Plus, a photo taken on our catwalk and flower wall, and a singalong with the amazing rosebuds staff.

How have you found doing business in Tralee?

The people of Tralee have been so supportive to us and with the gloom of covid hanging in the air, they still came out to support a new business in town. We're really grateful to them and excited for the future. Our aim is to bring a little bit of magic and sparkle to the princesses of Kerry, especially during these challenging times. A trip to our salon will definitely lift everyone spirits.
