Buenos Aires Manicure / Pedicure in Buenos Aires?
Posted: Fri March 28, 2008 02:39 AM UTC
Hello! I am visiting BsAs in November and wanted to get a manicure or pedicure (or both) while there... I do nails at home so I'm interested in their techniques!

A very clean, sanitary place please, for this germ-aphobe :-)

How much can I expect to spend?

I have heard good things of 2 places, Lulu of London and The Nail Company. Has anyone been to either of these? Any feedback? any other places?

Thanks a ton, kisses, Julie

All beauty parlors also have people dedicated to manicures and pedicures. And they are everywhere and clean. I think that a manicure is around $12 pesos. My Argentine wife would have her nails done at least once a month, which is normal there. It surprised her how expensive and uncommon manacures were here in the USA when she first moved here. Now there are Asian owned shops everywhere where we live and the cost is now reasonable.

i got the only pedicure i've ever had in my life in Buenos Aires. so i don't have much to compare it to. my ex was in for one and the esthetician took one look at my toes and said i couldn't leave until she sorted me out.
there are lots of places. this was in Palermo near Scalabrini Ortiz.

how long will you be in the city? we've got a big party going on at the end of the month.
