dylanmiles23 2,198 Posted April 26, 2013 So I decided to go get a mani and pedi today. I get monthly pedis, I don't know how to file , cut or polish and besides for $20. it's worth getting done. There were 2 women (friends) and they both had their big toe nails very long and they were fake! Why? Has anyone heard of anything so dumb. I live in Boston, it is not warm enough for sandals. I have purple polish on and for the big toes only, I have a darker purple pokka dot. Saw it from Lancome in pinks, so cute. Everyone deserves a pedi for spring and summer and the massage chairs, OMG-I could get one weekly just for the chairs. Have a great TGIF and weekend.

marfar7 1,533 Posted April 26, 2013 $20 for a pedi? I pay close to $40!! Then I still have to give a tip! I used to do them about every 2 months when I was single (as well as spend $90 on hair highlites), but now I'm more money consious. And my hubby does my pedis for me now. And he does a fair job! And it's free! I miss the foot massages tho! I can't believe you only pay $20!!! Lucky girl! Marci 2 dylanmiles23 and SueBee01 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everything in this town is unbelievably expensive except for mani/pedis and massages....but in low end type salons. Not Elizabeth Arden....LOL! 2 dylanmiles23 and ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dylanmiles23 2,198 Posted April 26, 2013 I pay $20. for pedi and $10. for mani. Waxing is $7. for eye brows. I live just outside of Boston. All the nail salons are owned by Vietnamese in my area and they do the best job. My town is about 30,000 people and there are maybe 15 nail salons. 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gowalking 10,790 Posted April 26, 2013 Same here Arlene. Reg manicure is $10. And waxing also $7. Not sure about the pedicure...my knees make it hard to get them. I'm in NYC so you're talking about millions of people living here but there is a nail salon on virtually every block, and often more than one. There are six I can go to within a two block span of my apartment. Yes, also either Vietnamese or Korean owned. 2 dylanmiles23 and ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

everydayigiveitmybest 38 Posted April 27, 2013 Some people have toe nail problems so they have to get artificial or overlays.... Why they'd want them long wether real or fake is beyond me as it leads to toenail fungus ugh.... 2 ☠carolinagirl☠ and dylanmiles23 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luka Beth 78 Posted April 27, 2013 I live in Baltimore and the AA women here all get the fake Toenail extensions for summer. I don't get it Bc it petty much limits you to sandals for the next 3-5 months...and they pay alot for it. It might also be an ethnic thing. Personally i keep mine as short as possible and my awesome boyfriends does the pedegg and polishing and foot rubs every week. I live in sandals too, but like to have the option to wear my tennies for exercise. 3 SueBee01, dylanmiles23 and ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally i keep mine as short as possible and my awesome boyfriends does the pedegg and polishing and foot rubs every week. I live in sandals too, but like to have the option to wear my tennies for exercise. Sorry, that is not an ethic thing...it's a ghetto thing. I am a black woman (not AA, I can't give you the name of a single African in my family tree) and I find this practice common with women who have ugly feet, strippers and those with self esteem issues. I get pedi's once a month and polish changes every 2 weeks, when my toe nails grow long I get them cut. No woman in corporate America or an ounce of class gets acrylic nails put on their feet. I live in Texas, we wear sandals year-round so it is imperative to have your feet presentable - they don't have to be tacky. ***drops mike and walks off stage*** 13 Junebug36, ☠carolinagirl☠, SueBee01 and 10 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
