Has anyoen ever had a manicure/pedicure?

[Taz_Zoee]

I use to get a pedi once a month during the summer months. ((not anymore )
Now I'm lucky if I get one once every 6 months. LOL

The first time I got one I was nervous to have someone touching my feet. But the girl who did it was a good friend and I'd known her since she was 11, so it wasn't so bad. Now it's no big deal to me......and it's nice and relaxing.

Here in SoCal pedicures are a year round activity. I get mine done once a month or so. It just amazes me....$30.00 includes soak, massage, paint and....the special design painted on the big toe! It changes with the season...Christmas, 4th of July....etc. Although I have yet to see anyone with a turkey painted.

I had the only pedicure in my life when I went to visit E's Secretary in Southern California last year. We had flowers painted on our toes and they lasted for months

Although I have yet to see anyone with a turkey painted.

Is that a dare or a yet?

I need one...maybe tomorrow! The place I go to is open Sundays. I had black halloween styled cats painted on the big toes two times ago. I loved it. Now, with the possibility of wearing open toed shoes to work, I might have to skip the cats.

I have a friend who had a pedicure when she was very pregnant and couldn't reach her feet

I lost contact with my feet a few months ago Rumor has it they are still down there somewhere!!

I was chatting with a woman this evening who is staying at the Montage...a lovely but VERY expensive resort in Laguna Beach....she is there for a corporate event. I don't know how pedicures came up...but she told me they charge $80.00 plus tip....and she didn't even get flowers on her big toes (she was wearing sandals...)

For manicure and pedicure....$125.00...and I bet it is the same women who work in the salon where I get a pedicure for $30.00!

[Sirrahsim]

That is crazy!! I think it's about $18 here on base... That's what I've heard anyway.

I feel the need to add that the typo in the title of this thread bothered me when I posted it 2 years ago... and still bothers me now Too bad it won't let me fix it!!

There are so many nail shops in the heart of Los Angeles that prices are very competitive. It used to cost $17. for a manicure and pedicure. Then the price went to $22. Now it is $25. plus tip.

With the price increase they have added hot towels to warm your hands with lotion - your hands feel great.

Almost all of these shops are run by Vietnamese and they talk back and forth between themselves in their native language.

There is a really funny video out of a comedian telling you what they are really saying.

They also give great neck rubs for an extra $10.00 - well worth it.

That is what we fought over there for isn't it? Cheap manicures? I would love to see the video as I do wonder...

When I first started going to the salon here I noticed all the technicians have "english" names. The one doing my toes was called "Wanda." I pondered for a while and then, since she speaks more english than most, I asked how they chose the name? Same phonetics as in their native language? Nope. There is a big box with name tags in it and they choose one!

I used to go and have my feet done every 6-7 weeks - I agree it's wonderful, but I can't afford it anymore. My fingernails I keep short, I can't stand them being long.

[sparks19]

Never......

Up until 6 months ago I bit my nails... BADLY. Now I give myself my own French manicures

Although as for Pedicures..... I have heard that in the later stages of pregnancy pedicures and foot massages should be avoided as much as possible as the stimulation may cause contractions and false labour. I read that in my big RULES manual the Dr sent me lol.

I have never had a pedicure either. I do my own and my hubby massages my feet for me lol poor guy

There was a seinfield episode about that it was hilarious, Elaine hired a translator to go with her and found out they were talking about her...it was so funny.
