After your tenth trip down the inflatable slide, you vowed to seek out more relaxing mommy-and-me activities.
Put your feet up at Rock Candy Salon + Spa. The just-opened North Center haven pampers adults and kiddos alike with services you can indulge in together. Everything from pedicures and manicures to haircuts is done in a refreshingly sophisticated setting (read: not a toy-car chair in sight).
Using pedicure bowls sized for tiny feet, aestheticians rub the sillies out and create fun toenail art. For boys, there’s a deep-cleaning pedi complete with “green slime.” Haircuts and styles (anything from elegant braids to edgy spikes) are done with organic, good-for-you products.
If you’re feeling ambitious, ask them to throw your cutie a full-blown princess party. All you have to do is foot the bill. Talk about happily ever after.
Rock Candy Salon + Spa, 4141 North Lincoln Avenue, at Warner Avenue (773-883-3000 or rockcandysalonandspa.com).
