I am not sure about "free", but if you check out Embroidery Library and put 'beautician" in the search box, you will find some really cute borders, crests, and a few others. Average price is $1.00 each.
"Free" is not always good. The old saying of "you get what you pay for" is good to remember. Not saying that every free design is bad, there are some very talented digitizers out there. But there are many unskilled digitizers who use auto digitizing software that just does not work very well.
$1.00 is not too bad to pay for a nice design from a reputable embroidery company. Why waste your time, energy and supplies on a project that you want both you, and your GD, to be proud of?
Good luck to you and congratulations to her!
