All Hands on Deck

Plush Beauty Bar for Moms

Your Sesame Streeter loves that you and Bert share a unibrow, but your unkempt look makes you feel like a grouch.

The place of the day? Plush Beauty Bar. The new baby-friendly salon gives moms a much-needed chance to pamper without having to find a sitter.

Plop toddlers down in the neat, modern play area, pick a nontoxic polish, and have your neglected cuticles fawned over. Keep wee ones near in a swing while getting piggies primped. Video monitors strategically placed in the waxing room allow you to defuzz while keeping an eye on your rug rat.

Aestheticians accommodate nursing breaks and get you home before naptime. All treatments are reasonably priced to boot.

Talk about hitting the nail on the head.
