Licensed Cosmetologist Earns Extra Income Hosting Unique Birthday Parties for Little Girls in St Charles, Missouri

With the job market has taken a turn for the worst since 2009, many hourly workers have turned their experience into personal side businesses to put a little extra money in their pockets. One local resident of St. Charles, Missouri, found a fun and creative way to earn extra money with her cosmetology degree as a party hostess.

By providing beauty parties for little girls birthday events and play dates, Patti Rackovan, a licensed Cosmetologist since 1984, created a unique business opportunity for herself that is not only fun, but also monetarily rewarding. Patti started Party Curls, "The Beauty Salon Party That Comes to Your Home," in 1999 as a way to provide a memorable social experience for little girls to get in touch with their "girly-girl" side.

Her service caters to young girls age 5 and up and consists of a personal host (usually Patti herself), salon style capes, mirrors, invitations and even a tiara for the birthday girl. Patti is scheduling parties at least 2 months in advance and has three types of parties to choose from including a "Party Curls Party", a "Make Up Party", and a "Nail Fun Party". Each of these three types of parties has an individual theme and includes unique party favors.

The Party Curls Party features individual hair designs for each party guest who gets to take home a comb, brush, and hair accessory while the Make Up Party features eye shadow, lipstick, and take home samples of the same. The Nail Fun Party focuses on painting nails and each girl takes home pretty polish, a nail file, and individual nail art. Patti hosts each party with a minimum of 8 girls at $12.00 per guest for a total of $96.00 per group. The Party Girl can choose 2 of the three themes for her party at the $12.00 rate. At $3.00 more per person, Patti will do the Hair, Makeup, and Nail party. She has provided large parties for as many as 30 girls for which she has additional helpers at no extra charge.

Party Curls is a great alternative to hiring a clown or pony service and is much more affordable than a trip to Chuck E Cheese, McDonalds, or other entertainment venue that can be very expensive and even chaotic for party guests. A Party Curls party is an exciting opportunity for little girls to play with make up and fashion and mimic the beauty they see in their "Mommy's" everyday routine.

The Party Curls host will pamper the party girl and a group of her friends with beautiful hair, popping eye color, and take home nail polish and lipstick that makes each attendee feel truly special. The business is a simple concept that provides Patti with the opportunity to use her cosmetology experience in a fun environment to earn extra money with part time hours and limited investment.

Patti has curled and polished over 5,000 girls since starting her business in 1999. She uses professional supplies and products, including Mary Kay Cosmetics, which is one of the top selling brands in the United States.
