Has anyoen ever had a manicure/pedicure?

[gini]

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.

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.
