“”I wanted to do something that was simple in concept, but executed really, really well,” says Kristen Gale, owner of Queen Street West’s hot new nails-and-waxing place, The Ten Spot.

“And I thought Toronto was missing something like The Ten Spot. I mean, when you ask people what’s the coolest hotel, they say The Drake. Or where’s a really great gym, they might say Diesel.”

(“Good” is subjective. I would say that if you’re a 20- or 30-something scenester making at least $70K who wants a Time Out magazine lifestyle, then yes, the Drake and Diesel are a good hotel and gym.)

“But for where to go for a Brazilian…,” she continues.

Kristen’s answer to that question was to open The Ten Spot, and blogger “Panthea’s” got the inside scoop (with possible a little too much information for some readers) over at BlogTO.
