At Spa-Di-Da, kids get the full salon treatment. Here, a pink pedicure is finished off with blue heart decals.
Erin has never been girly. She likes dolls and the color pink, but if there's ever a choice between a football and a pair of ballet shoes, she goes for the pigskin every time. So when we were invited to her cousin's 7th birthday party last week at this brand new boutique nail spa that's exclusively for kids, I thought she'd be entertained, but not excited. But when we arrived, there were butterfly stickers and tiny pedicure stations. A karoke machine that played Bippidy-Boppidy-Boo. Ten minutes in, my little tomboy was air-waving her pink fingernails and having a pillow fight with cotton strips laced between her toes.
 
The place? Spa-di-da, a newly opened, very pink day spa in Staten Island that completely caters to kids' parties and mother-daughter days of beauty. A two-hour party starts at $359. The girls get manicures, pedicures, pizza and cake. They can be-dazzle their own T-shirts, snack on cupcakes and sparkling cider and really experience a true trip to the salon. A tiny purse full of pink and purple nail polishes and glittery emery boards is the take-home favor.
 
Just enough pink accessories to turn Erin off football for good.
