Learning to wear makeup, much like learning to race in a roller derby or to crochet boxing gloves, is an integral part of many young ladies' childhoods. Foster dainty beginnings with today’s Groupon: for $12, you get a Glittery Glam child's makeover, including an updo, makeup application, and a coat of nail polish, at Sweet & Sassy in Center Valley (a $24.95 value).

Sweet & Sassy's energetic aestheticians pamper young glamazons with kid-size treatments bolstered by girly cosmetic products. The 20-minute Glittery Glam makeover kicks off as little ladies choose an updo from a quartet of styles ranging from the Fancy Princess to the Slash-inspired Rock Star mane. Next, an age-appropriate makeup application adds splashes of sheen and sparkle to mini visages. The final step calls on layer of nail polish to coat each finger helmet with a hue that reflects a wee one's personality or early bias against chartreuse. Along with a snazzy new look, each fledgling fashionista goes home with a gift such as a lollipop, and optional keepsake photos ($3.95, not included with this Groupon) provide a less ephemeral, non-lickable souvenir.
