Has anyoen ever had a manicure/pedicure?

I can't live without my pedicures! Manicures are okay..but, I am too rough on my hands to make them worthwhile. I can't ever hold still for the 45 minutes it takes to let the nail polish 'set'. I used to have weekly manis done, but, quit that a few years ago. With Jonah, I just ask her to cut them short, which she does, gratis.

As for pedis- I go about once a month, I pay 28, plus tax and tip, for a 'spa' ped. The only thing I don't get, which is really nice, is the paraffin wax dip. THAT is heaven. This place doesn't do it, for some reason. My person is lickety spit quick, I take Jonah and he charms the ladies, and I am in and out under 45 minutes (at my request).

I am very tickleish (how do you spell that word?), too, and I jump when she de-gunks my soles. Oh well, it is still too worth it.

Go in sandles- I use cheap, cheap flip flops!

Glad it was a nice treat for you.

I've never been into the whole "paws and claws" thing. I don't wear makeup, I don't wear nail polish and I don't colour my hair.

Do you think maybe that's why I can't find a date??:D :rolleyes:

Nope. I do the paws and claws, wear makeup, get highlights in my hair, AND I don't have any dates...he he he.

where there is one or two nail salons in every strip mall. I get manicure and pedicure...vibrating chair, massage, etc.... for $40...which includes one extra....I prefer hot oil.

Weekly for nails (in very light color I can maintain) and monthly for the feet....bright fun color. Nails alone is $12 plus tip. Only downside is communicating with the nail technicians...they are all Vietnamese and often speak VERY little english.

I doubt if I can get today but tomorrow for sure. Supply and demand...it's a wonderful thing....;)

I have been getting regular pedis since November and actually skipped last month and am biting at the bit for Friday to go! I have to work 3rd shift this whole week and will be going without sleep but I really don't even care!

My pedi is 26. I usually give them $30. I even have my mom going and she NEVER did anything to her toes or fingers.
I have extremely dry feet. I sometimes get woke up at nite with my feet cracking and drying out unless I slather on a thick lotion. This has helped them beyond anything I can describe.
I have never had a manicure I am way to hard on my hands also to be worth it.
I like nice bright colors on my toes. The last one I had was mood changing polish. When my feet got cold it lightened, and when they were were - it got really dark orange.

I just recently got a pedicure, a french! It felt sooo good!;)

So true!!! My dad can't help but laugh whenever he passes by the MANY nail salons, and sees tons of women getting their feet/nails done. He's like, ''Now why would anyone want to beautify their FEET?'' Men...:o...'sigh'

I'm trying to convince him that women like to be beautiful from head to toe. He he he!

LOVE pedicures! I had my first one about 2 years ago and am addicted now! Unfortunately, I consider it a luxury and since we are trying to save, save, save...I only get them in the summertime.
I will treat myself to a manicure once my nails get long enough. I've been trying to stop biting them.

Glad you enjoyed yours! Isn't it fun being a girl!!

it's time for my first pedicure of the spring/summer season. i'm going to a wedding tomorrow and wearing peeptoe heels and i want to look nice. anyone else doing this soon? winter feet...ugh

I had one back in Feb and am due anytime. My cousin is getting married in May and I'm maid of honor so I'll definately have one before then!!!

ohh a pedicure sounds soooo nice :)

I treated myself to my first pedicure. It was wonderful :) :)
There is only 1 gal in town that does pedicures and she happens to work at shop I go to :)

I do my own; always have. It's a relaxing ritual. I do my manicures every week. Pedicures last longer so I do my toes once or twice a month. I couldn't stand the thought of someone else doing my nails, not knowing where those instruments have been or who's been soaking in the water. Nu-uh. I've heard way too many horror stories about infections and such. I feel I do a much better job anyway and like doing it.

YES! And I absolutly LOVE it! Glad it was fun for you!

I love pedicures! My sister is an esthetician so I get pedicures for free! I'm getting one next weekend and boy do these sore, swollen, pregnant feet need it.
