Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be rock stars…with bad hair and wretched makeup.

Let them rock, sure, but make sure they know what they’re doing.  Nobody wants their little girls to be examples of what not to do, even if they are raking in the cash, like Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse.

Maybe the ratty hair and horrible makeup are all part of the rock star life?  Or, maybe they just never learned how to take care of themselves, what with hair and makeup artists coming directly to their homes and dressing rooms.

If only we were all so lucky.  Even if we were, wouldn’t we want to look nice on our “off” days?  I think so.

Here’s how Madison Avenue Salon and Day Spa can help.  The brains at the salon have cooked up a cool summer camp for ‘tween and teen girls.  It’s a three-day gig, covering nail care, hair care, and skin care.

If you think about it, there’s no better time to get this essential hygiene message across.   Girls ages 9-15 are changing, they’re breaking out (omg, like how embarrassing!) and they’re getting serious about styling their hair.

They know what they want, and that’s how they want it.  Moms can just make sure they have the know-how to avoid any hazards (we all remember our crimpers, don’t we?).

There are two sessions with ten spots available in each.  The first runs June 22-24.  The second is July 6-8.  The cost is $80 a child.

For the sake of your child’s future style, call the salon (the digits: 480-759-3308) and book it.  It beats sittin’ around playing video games, or hanging at the mall.  It’s even educational, kinda like summer beauty school.
