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!

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.

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.
