A beauty salon catering only to girls between the ages of 4 and 14 has opened in the Lebanese capital of Beirut, drawing popular interest. The manager of Frisa Beauty Salon, Hania Halvani, said the beauty salons of Lebanon were very famous around the world, particularly in the Middle East.

“The dream of every girl is to become a mother one day, to dress and behave like their mother. This place is where young girls’ dreams come true,” Halvani said.

She said the customers of the salon included young girls who wanted to look special for birthday parties, wedding ceremonies or festivals. “Many people misunderstand or misinterpret the concept of beauty salons or cosmetics. Beauty salons are an important sector that teaches people how to look beautiful or take care of oneself. Young girls get their manicures, pedicures and makeup done in such places. We are very pleased when we see their happiness,” Halvani said.

One of the customers of the salon, Kamer el-Beliğa, 8, said, “I come here to look like my mother. I want to look good and draw attention. I feel very special when I am here.”
