Frequently Asked Questions

It is individual strands of tinsel that is tied to the individual strand of one's hair. Hair tinsel comes in many colors for a variety of looks; for either a very subtle hint of sparkle or a vibrant and bold look.  One can have just a couple tied in, or quite a few, depending on the desired look.

That depends!  It lasts as long as the hair that it is tied to.  So, that could be days, weeks, months, and sometimes even longer.  Lynda has one that was actually tied in 1 1/2 years ago!!

                                         Sparkly Mermaid Hair may last a day 

                                                             or last a year,

                                     Should it fall out, please don’t shed a tear,

                                          Just wish upon your strand so bright,

                                     To share your Mermaid’s Hair radiant light.

Yes!  You can wash, dry, curl, flat iron (not over 375) and even color over it.  And, of course, you can swim with it!  While the hair tinsel goes in rather straight, it gradually takes on the natural bend of the hair, and looks beautiful when curled!

Appointments are not made for pop-up and fair events, but we can come to you for a private appointment in your home. It can be one person or several - make your own pop-up event! There is a $100 minimum purchase for private appointments, within 30 miles of the Sagamore Bridge. (Travel fee applies over 30 miles.) That's just 50 strands between everyone present. Weekday evening, anyone?

Here I am! I post all of my pop-ups and events in the "Events" tab, and on Facebook (Cape Cod Mermaid Hair by Sue) and Instagram. I'm usually somewhere every weekend.

Nope, I don't have a shop, and I don't use my own home for appointments. I'm a travelling Mermaid!

Absolutely! But not just Birthday parties, it can be any event where the host treats their guests to Mermaid Hair.

Pricing:

Host-paid: $100 for up to 12 participants, 4 strands each. That takes about 1 hour. After the first hour, it is $80 each additional hour, if you have more party-goers, or would like each person to get more strands.

Want to treat the kids, but the moms want Mermaid Hair too? (As they should, Mermaid Hair is for ALL ages!) Anyone else at the party can pay $2 per strand themselves. No maximum or minimum if it's in addition to the host-paid paid party.

Travel fee: Within 30 miles of the Sagamore Bridge = None!

Oh yes! 

Grand Openings, Business Anniversary, any Special Occasion - or Just for Fun!

I have popped-up at many types of businesses, not just boutiques, and not just kid-zones! All I need is space (indoors Oct-March!) for a couple of small tables and a chair, which I will bring, and good lighting. 

Pop-ups at your business are mutually beneficial. I advertise the date, time, location to my over 2,000 followers on Instagram and Facebook, and here on my website, which gets pretty good traffic, if I say so myself! I will tag your business in the post or reel. You can share my posts, make a social media event of your own, or advertise it however you like. There's no cost or fees between us. It will bring traffic in to your business because people who follow me will come, and you are offering something unique to your own clients that day.
