Originally Posted By BlazesOfFire ^^^Well, Im glad you said it, so now I can convince my guy friend to go with me! He said he needs his toenails clipped but doesnt want to do them himself but doesnt want to go "get a pedicure" either lol
Originally Posted By BlazesOfFire I dont mind spending the money to get my nails done because afterwards they look nice and makes m feel good. But I just started back working and funds have been tight so I havent gone for quite a while...so my nails look TERRIBLE! I figure I better make myself feel extra special by getting a pedicure too
Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter Professional pedicures are one of the most wonderful small joys in life. It's so relaxing and pampering and just all around great. I felt a little weird about it the first time I went, but I rapidly got over that--lol. Just make sure that whatever salon you choose is meticulous about cleaning and disinfecting the foot baths and tools and so forth.
Originally Posted By goodgirl In addition to feeling relaxed and pampered, its also good for your feet. If you've got calouses, they'll take care of those and your nails are trimmed professionally.
Originally Posted By LuLu >>I don't usually like to spend money on mani-pedis but they are nice and relaxing.<< Autopia Deb, I'm with you on that. When I was younger I thought I'd know I'd "made it" when I could afford to have a pedicure monthly. But I found it wasn't what I wanted to spend my money on after all! Funny. I actually prefer to do it myself! Now, I *would* like to have a foot massage monthly! Hands too!
Originally Posted By Deogges Mom I have a pedicure at least monthly. I wear flips flops so much I get horrible callouses. The shop I go to does a great job keeping them under control. Just sitting ther and leyying my feet and hands be pampered is wonderful. I even managed to talk Darkbeer into getting a pedicure this weekend. He may not like me for telling everyone that, but he admitted that he'll go back.
Originally Posted By Stacers76 I do the pedicure stuff during the spring and summer when I wear sandals...it was odd at first having someone touching my feet, but now I love it. My only warning is if your feet are ticklish...be prepared to squirm a little...not much and it's worth it though!!! Oh, and there are always men in the nail place I go to....had a firefighter, that rode his Harley down to the shop, in the pedicure chair next to me last time!
Originally Posted By Mrs Nurmi I love my pedicures!! I usually just stick to the spring/summer ones, and lately my daughter has been coming with me. She takes a ton of dance, and pointe shoes are extremely tough on toes! The pedicures really help to keep her nails trimmed properly & calouses taken care of, so her feet actually feel better when she's dancing. I just like the pretty colored polish.
Originally Posted By MissCandice I have done it twice, but because my feet were damaged by me having to take arsenic for awhile they are extremely sensitive and I cannot tolerate the touching, buffing, massaging etc. It was pretty much torture for me, so although I liked the way my feeties looked afterwards, I can't go through that again.
Originally Posted By chickendumpling <--- too ticklish to have pedicures done. LOL. Luckily, my mom owned a salon for years and so I can pretty up my feet myself pretty dang good. Plus, I have a wonderfully adoring DH who will... nevermind. TMI. LOL.
Originally Posted By MomofPrincess I am extremely ticklish, too! My pedicurist says I'm the worst of all of her clients, LOL. I still go back for more, though! I love them. My daughter had her first for her birthday last August at age 6, and she loved it, too. Yes, I'm insane. Yes, I've created a monster. Yes, my husband should probably divorce me. Anything else? ;-P
