Juniors. It’s that time of year: prom season. This year the Junior prom will be held on Friday April 19th from 6pm to 10pm at the Double Tree by Hilton in Cherry Hill. Although prom is fun, it can also be incredibly stressful, with planning and the costs associated with it.
Many people believe you must spend thousands of dollars to look good at prom. but that’s not necessarily the case. I’ve compiled a list of affordable options from attire to hair to makeup. Whatever your budget, there’s a way for everyone to look good and have a great time.

Hair and Makeup
