Queenies Salon!

Oh what joy!!
We found a real nail salon here in BA. In our street too! Now we won't feel so deprived of life's little monthly luxuries :)
It's only pocket-sized & recently opened by an Argentinian woman who's been living & working in Los Angeles for many years, who seized the opportunity to start such a business here. For a culture that is so focused on their bodies, it's odd that this boutique business has not reached here sooner. She's doing very well & is looking for a 2nd premises already.

I had my Christmas mani-pedi there on Xmas Eve - long overdue after 3 months of neglect - & am very pleased to report it was 'top drawer'. There are no custom-built soaking chairs available in Argentina yet apparently so it's a little old-fashioned with soaking your feet in a shallow pail of soapy water but it works just as well. Of course, that means no inbuilt massage machine in the chairs either.

Hooray for Queenies!!
