parlour for kids. I am astounded to know the transition from ‘baby products’ to ‘beauty products’ can be so quick. The girls are excited; they will be treated with manicure, pedicure, make-up and hair styling. Until now, manicure just meant trimming scraggly nails with her band saw teeth. But after the invitation, she knows there is a paid service available for it. And make-up! It means messing up with mommy’s dressing table.
