I mean no disrespect , I have tried to read the thread but it is so big and what I saw up to page 6 was no african american hair being done .
My DN is half and her hair is kinda wild ; )
She would love this but I dont want to get there and them not do it and have her thrilled and looking forward to it .

She will be able to go and they will be able to do any of the three hairstyles that she would choose. I don't have any pics personally I believe a couple have been listed but I am not sure right now. You will have to make sure her hair is brushed when you arrive.

I would think they could do the diva or pop princess pretty easily, maybe you can call and find out.

My DD who is a Fairy Godmother In Training at the moment has done all kinds of hair already, including some Princesses with highly textured hair. If it can be pulled up in a ponytail, it can be done! They have all kinds of magical stuff that they use to whip it into shape.

I have, twice!

Trust me when I say I was quite leery but the way it was handled at the BBB really impressed me. In the photo below, my daughter had indvidual braids I had done as she went back to school later in the week. Her braids had been freshly-washed the day before so when she got to the salon she had 'clean' hair. She got the Fairytale Princess style.

It took two FGM's In Training to style her hair because they had to get it all on the top of her head with a thick black ponytail holder, then secured it with bobby pins. The style lasted for 5+ days like this even when she swam!

For the second visit right after Christmas of last year, she got the Coach package and her hair done in the Disney Diva style. She had cornrows which were done on the Disney Cruise Line but her hair was left out in the back. The stylist had no problem fashioning it into the hairstyle. Here was the result:

This stylist didn't do my daughter's hair 'directly' but she was next to the stylist working on my daughter's hair. She offered assistance in how to get her hair up in the Fairytale Princess style. She also complimented me on doing my daughter's individual braids! When I was there in December, there were two black stylists in the room. There is another lady who is biracial but she wasn't there in December. She was in August though.



The two times I went I did see Bronner Brother's products (spritz and pomade). If the stylist doesn't know (and they usually do), emphasize that you don't want anything water-based on your daughter's hair if it's pressed or chemically relaxed. Since my daughter had braids/cornrows, I instructed them to use spray leave-in conditioner. The stylists are very good about asking you first what product you'd like put in your child's hair.

Also, another FYI I found out when I made a BBB appointment for my daughter in April, you must bring your own brush and comb.

Your daughter is going to love the BBB!

Mad4Mickey Does this help? You just didn't look far enough into the thread!

They do a really good job. My youngest daughter has super thick hair and is only 3 years old and her FGMIT ) did an excellent job and was super gentle and sweet. Her stylist was african-american and her name was Towanda I believe.

I am calling tomorrow to try to get this for DD for our Thanksgiving trip!.. She is such a "diva"!!!

 

[mom2taylorandemily]

Is there a place to have the photos taken at the new location like they have at DTD? And is it only available if you have purchased the big package? My DDs want their hair done, but neither really wants the gown so I was wondering if we can still get the photo shoot done?

 

[cancer_survivor_06]

I am not sure about how they are doing the photos but I can tell you that you do not need to get the castle package to do the photos.

 

[Ms_Butterfly]

They do tell you to bring your own brush, but they will also supply a cheap plastic comb if you don't. We brought our own mini pocket brushes we'd gotten just for the occassion (don't want others using our brushes - plus who wants to lug a regular-sized brush around all day?), but my FGITs never asked for mine, just got a long yellow comb out (the kind with the comb part on one half and a long, pointy handle/hair separator on the other half) and did my hair. I'm not sure about my friend, as we got done at the same time and I didn't notice what they were using on her head. (And, yes, they give you the yellow comb to take home in your bag so you know everybody gets a brand new comb used on them.)

And, yes, I 100% recommend that adults do the BBB!! It is a lot of fun! The PhotoPass photo session photos come out really great, too - and it is cheaper than doing Glamour Shots. Tip: Wear a nice shirt/blouse instead of a T-shirt with a print/image on it (you can always change after you get the photos done if you really want to wear a particular shirt that day) and your photos will be amazing!

My hair stayed in overnight just fine - I didn't need to remove the extension or the Mickey head clips (Pop hairdo) or anything. There were very few strands that had come out of the ponytail/bun by the morning - I simply sprayed a little hairspray on them and voila! Perfect again. It stayed in just fine after the second night, too, but I washed it out that morning instead of wearing it to the parks again.

In the bags they give you the makeup they used on you, the extra stick-on face jewels they didn't use on you, the yellow comb if they used one on you, the sash (if they didn't put one on you before like they should've), and your personalized brochure. The bags are neat, too, 'cause they have purple boa handles!

Next time I go to Disney, I am definitely going to think about doing BBB again! Oh - and we got compliments on our hair from both adults and kids! That was fun!

I'll post photos eventually, when I get them (we just went a week or two ago and I'm still working on editing all our PhotoPass photos before I order the CD).

 

[sarahsmom73]

YAY!!! I got the boutique for NOV 23rd at 8 am in the Castle!!! DD will be SO EXCITED!!!!

 

[Blaze12]

I am going to post our photo session photos as soon as I Get my CD too. I have not ordered it yet, I am done editing though. Just waiting a few more days to see if they send a coupon code for them. The exisiting codes end tomorrow. I am hoping a CD comes out next.

Does anyone know, are they doing a photo shoot area for the MK one as well??? I think that was my favorite part of the experience, so I hope so!

I'm hearing a little bit of conflicting information.

Some say you MUST do the Castle package to get pics taken.

Some say you can have a pics taken and added to your Photopass even if you choose one of the other packages.

Any definitive information?

TIA!

NOPE!!! We just did it!! I just did the hair and makeup (not sure what package that is) and brought our own dress from home. They put photos on your photopass of the girls getting done up. Then if you want to get a photo session done, where they pose, it is in the next building over from WOD, and it is free, they just put the photos on your photopass.

If you are interested in seeing ours, PM me your address, and I can share it out to you.

We did the hair & makeup package (no nails) & got pics. I think the big package includes a photo package but anyone can get pics done & purchase the pics on their own.

I'm so sad that I don't have a little princess to take here. :sigh:

I want that mickey barrette though, for myself. Do they sell that individually? I read almost 50 pages of this thread and never saw that question. so I thought I'd ask.

I think it's a case that with the Castle package, you actually get physical printed versions of your photos included within the price. You are supposed to get one 6" x 8" and four 4" x 6" photos and they come in a special Princess-themed photo holder (info from disneyworld.co.uk). Whereas with the other packages, the photos just get added to your Photopass card, and you then have to pay extra to have any you like printed.

 

[mexican-mouseketeers]

Yes, everything is sold individually.
