American Girl Beauty Salon for Dolls

A not-to-be-missed experience while in Chicago is the American Girl Store on East Chicago Avenue. The business of dolls has sure changed since I was a kid. Either that or the country has a lot more money to spend on doll culture. My favorite part? The American Girl Beauty Salon for dolls. Where for a mere 10 bucks you can have a skilled hair professional braid, pony tail, or otherwise manipulate and beautify your doll's coiffure. The dolls sit comfortably in their own doll barber chair, and don their own doll protective hair cape while the stylists go about their work.

Needless to say, I'm not envious of my friends with little girls who fork over hundreds of dollars for dolls and the extras. Though I must say I did see an Am Girl in a wetsuit with a bodyboard that caught my attention.
