Editor's note: A previous version of this story incorrectly described the former business at the site Sprinkles will occupy. A kids photography studio is still located near the space where the kids spa will be located.

A new "spa" designed for children will be opening in Colonie Center in July, according to the company's Facebook page.

Sprinkles Kids Spa in Colonie Center offers salon and spa services and will be located upstairs near Nordstrom Rack (in the former convenience store space). The spa opens in July.

"We are very excited to bring a fun place where children can be pampered all while having fun," says Nicole Wilkie, the owner and founder.

They offer services for boys and girls — kid-style manicures, pedicures, facials and up-dos, along with themed birthday parties.

The spa has been a mental work-in-progress for Wilkie for the past seven-plus years. In the end, Sprinkles Kids Spa was inspired by yearly trips to Florida and visits to Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo, she says.

"When I think of Sprinkles I think of fun, bright colors, people smiling and always wanting more."

The company's message, she says, is that at Sprinkles Kids Spa beauty is found in the inside.

"We want to teach our kids about sprinkling kindness around to others," says the owner.

They will be offering special events including princess meet and greets, mommy and me services, painting with Rapunzel, pancakes with a princess and more. The idea is that kids customize each visit (along with their parent or guardian, of course).

"Kids may wish to be a unicorn one visit and be a pop star the next visit."

Wilkie previously owned Zola Kids, a children's boutique in Saratoga Springs.
