One price across all eight villages
Searching for a kids spa party near me in Barrington, South Barrington, Inverness or Deer Park? We bring the whole thing to your house — perfume bars, lip labs, skincare and bath bars, mini facials, candy bars and mocktails. No resident rate, no village lines, no travel fee.
Most kids spa parties do things for children. We help them make something they can keep.
A mini manicure is gone by Tuesday. A perfume your daughter formulated herself, named herself, and can still smell on her wrist a month later is something else entirely.
A real perfumer & cosmetic formulator
Our founder is a trained perfumer and formulator. We don't buy party kits — we develop the formulas ourselves, and we can tell any Barrington parent exactly what's in every bottle.
One price, four counties
Barrington 220 crosses Cook, Lake, Kane and McHenry. Village facilities charge residents one rate and everyone else another. We charge the same wherever the party is.
We're used to acreage
Long driveways, gated entries, coach houses, barns. Tell us the approach when you book and we'll plan the load-in rather than discovering it on the day.
Party favors are built in
Every guest goes home with a custom perfume, lip gloss, body butter, scrub or bath soak they made. The activity and the favor are the same thing, so that's one less errand.
- From $475
- Parties start here
- Ages 4+
- Kids, tweens and teens
- 1 – 2.5 hrs
- Typical party length
- One rate
- No resident pricing
One school district, four counties, no travel fee
A Barrington 220 guest list pulls from all of these. We serve every one of them on the same terms, so it doesn't matter which side of a village line your party is on.
Built for how Barrington families actually celebrate
The Barrington area has an unusual shape for a party planner. Eight villages, four counties, one high school — and no single venue that everyone on the invite list lives near.
That's why so many parties here happen at home. We work at-home spa parties and girls pamper parties across Barrington, South Barrington, North Barrington, Barrington Hills, Inverness, Deer Park, Lake Barrington and Tower Lakes. We arrive an hour early, set the station on a kitchen island or dining table, run the whole activity, and pack out with the room exactly as we found it. See all of our kids and teens party packages for the full range.
We also serve Lake Zurich, Kildeer, Long Grove, Hawthorn Woods, Palatine, Hoffman Estates, Fox River Grove, Cary and Algonquin at the same rate. Village park districts price residents and non-residents differently — we don't, which matters when your daughter's class spans four counties.
The calendar runs on Barrington 220. Spring fills with elementary and middle school birthdays, end-of-season equestrian and team parties, and the run-up to graduation. Summer moves outdoors — patios, pool houses and terraces. Autumn and winter bring tween sleepover add-ons, Barrington High Sweet 16s, and winter-break celebrations. We book Barrington Saturdays six to eight weeks out, longer in May and December.
Build your own Barrington party, one station at a time
Most parents pick two or three stations, or one of our packages. Activities can run at once or one after another to keep the group together.
Prices are a base for up to 8 guests. Contact us for a proposal above 8 — we serve celebrations of every size. Every station includes all materials, take-home packaging, staffing, setup and cleanup. Single stations can be combined with a second station or an add-on to meet our $475 event minimum.
The Mini Perfume Bar
60 kid-friendly fragrance options across florals, fruits, gourmands and fresh notes, plus our signature line inspired by the scents kids and tweens already love. They smell, explore, blend and bottle their own perfume, then take it home in a gift bag.
About our perfume bars
The Luxury Bath Bar
Six premium salts — mineral, foaming and Himalayan — blended into a custom 8oz bath soak with skin-safe fragrance, rose petals, lavender buds and calendula. Each guest also fragrances a body lotion and picks a handmade bath bomb. Add the vintage cart, florals and ladder shelf for an elevated look.
About the bath bar
The DIY Skincare Bar

About the skincare bar
The Lip Lab — Basic
15 cosmetic-grade mica colors, hydrating gloss base, shimmers and flavors like vanilla, cotton candy and bubblegum. Every guest fills and takes home their own custom gloss. Fast, tidy and endlessly photogenic.
About the Lip Lab

About the candy bar
Mini Facials for Kids
A gentle cleanse with warm towels, hydrating mask or cooling gel, under-eye pads, light facial massage, custom kid-safe moisturizer and a finishing mist. Performed by an Illinois licensed esthetician or cosmetologist. The closest thing to a true spa party, in your own home.
About our kids spa services
The Lip Lab — Premium

About the Lip Lab
Kids & Teens Mocktail Bar
Three signature kid-friendly flavors and a premium garnish bar with edible glitter, fruit wheels, sprinkles and themed toppers. Custom cups and straws, all ingredients, full setup. Completely alcohol-free.
Your kitchen island, terrace or coach house
Most Barrington parties happen at home, and homes here have room. But if you've booked a venue, we'll meet you there.
Your home
Kitchen island, dining room, terrace, pool house or coach house. Space is rarely the constraint here — the approach usually is. Tell us about the driveway, the gate code and where we can pull up to unload.
Barrington's White House
The restored 1898 Robertson home in the heart of downtown — 14,000 square feet on three floors, National Register listed and LEED certified, with a ballroom seating 130. A beautiful setting for a milestone birthday or a Sweet 16.
Venue & celebrationsCountry clubs
We work regularly at member clubs across the area. Bring us in for a junior member event, an equestrian club celebration or a family party and we'll coordinate directly with your events team on load-in, timing and insurance.
Village park districts
Community rooms across the Barrington Park District, Lake Zurich and Deer Park. Most price residents and non-residents differently — our rate doesn't change, whichever village you're in.
Deer Park & The Arboretum
If you've already booked something at Deer Park Town Center or The Arboretum of South Barrington, we'll set up alongside it — a station gives the group something to take home afterward.
Hotels & suites
Suites and function rooms nearby, popular for out-of-town family celebrations and bigger Sweet 16s. We coordinate directly with the hotel on load-in and timing.
Booked somewhere not listed? Tell us the address when you inquire. We need a first-floor setup or elevator access, somewhere close to unload, and warm water for spa and facial services.

Small touches that make it feel custom
Reviews from parties near you
Our party was pure kid chaos turned cute. Bath bombs everywhere, happy faces everywhere, and somehow I didn’t have to do anything. Magic.
We do highly recommend this party service. We held our event at our club house and had the bath cart. It was stunning. The girls loved it.
Yes, we recommend Glitters and Grace. You were a referral on Facebook and we will gladly pay it forward.
Pricing, parties and packages
How much does a kids spa party cost in the Barrington area?
Parties start at $475. Individual stations run $375 to $675 for up to 8 guests, and packages run $675 to $1,050 for up to 8 guests.
Our most popular Barrington booking, the Perfume & Lip Gloss package, is $795 for 8 guests. There are no travel fees, no service fees, no automatic gratuity and no resident or non-resident rate — the same price in all eight villages.
Do you charge differently depending on which village we're in?
No. Barrington 220 spans eight villages across Cook, Lake, Kane and McHenry counties, and village facilities generally charge residents one rate and everyone else another. That gets awkward when your daughter's class is spread across all of them.
We charge one price whether the party is in Barrington, South Barrington, North Barrington, Barrington Hills, Lake Barrington, Deer Park, Inverness or Tower Lakes — and there's no travel fee to any of them.
We're on acreage with a long driveway. Is that a problem?
Not at all, but tell us the approach when you book. A gate code, a service entrance, or somewhere we can pull up close to the door all make the load-in smoother — we carry a lot of product and we'd rather plan it than discover it.
We need a first-floor setup or elevator access and somewhere close to unload, cleared of snow and ice in winter. Coach houses, pool houses and terraces all work well; just let us know which building we're heading for.
Do we need to rent a room?
No, and most Barrington families don't. Homes here have space, and the practical problem is usually the guest list rather than the square footage — there's no single venue everyone in a Barrington 220 class lives near.
If you'd rather have a venue, Barrington's White House on West Main is beautiful for a milestone birthday, and we're happy to set up there or at your club.
Our club needs a certificate of insurance. Can you provide one?
Yes, as standard and at no charge. Give us the club or venue's contact and their requirements when you book and we'll send the COI directly to them.
If there's a specific load-in window, service entrance or vendor policy, tell us and we'll work to it.
Is it messy? We'd rather not redo the dining room.
This is the question we get most, and the honest answer is: less than you'd expect. Our stations are designed around contained pours and covered surfaces. We bring our own linens and protective coverings, and aprons are provided for the Lip Lab.
We arrive about an hour early, set up completely, run the activity, and pack out with the table as we found it. Cleanup is included in every price on this page.
What ages are these parties for?
Activities are designed for ages 7 and up, packages suit ages 8 and up, and we happily host children as young as 4.
For younger children we recommend Glitter & Glow, built for ages 5–10. Tweens gravitate to the skincare bar and Lip Lab. The Lip Lab Premium is designed for 16 and up, which makes it our most-booked Barrington 220 Sweet 16 station.
Are party favors included, or do I need to buy those separately?
Included. Every guest leaves with what they made — a custom perfume, lip gloss, body butter, scrub, bath soak or candy bag, depending on your package, in a gift bag.
The activity and the favor are the same thing, so that's one line item off your list and one fewer errand.
How far in advance should we book?
Six to eight weeks covers most Barrington Saturdays. May and December book further out — end-of-school and holiday-break weekends are our busiest, and those often go two to three months ahead.
If your date is sooner, ask anyway. We sometimes have a team available.
How long does a party last, and how many hosts come?
Most run 1 to 2.5 hours depending on what you book. A single station or Sweet Lips is about 1–1.5 hours; two- and three-station packages run 1.5–2 hours; the Kids Spa Duo runs 2–2.5. Setup and cleanup are included in that.
Staffing is set by guest count and ages. Children 12 and over work fairly independently; under 12 need more hands-on help, so we add hosts accordingly. A second host is added at 15 guests.
Are the products safe for children with sensitive skin?
All fragrance, skincare, bath and cosmetic materials are skin-safe, IFRA compliant and sourced from US suppliers. Everything is formulated, packed and hand-crafted in our New Lenox lab.
Ingredient lists are available in advance for any parent who wants to review them. Tell us about allergies or sensitivities when you book and we'll plan around them — a child can always take their creation home without applying anything at the party.
Can we combine this with a sleepover or another activity?
Often the best format for tweens. We run the station in the first 90 minutes while everyone's fresh, pack out, and leave you to the pizza, movie and sleepover. Guests have their creations to use that night.
The mocktail bar pairs especially well here — it gives the group something to do right after we leave.
Let's plan a Barrington party they'll remember
Tell us the date, the age group and roughly how many kids. We'll recommend stations and send an itemized quote — the same price whichever village you're in.
