Patchoulia Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I didn't see a Personal Grooming Forum, so I have no choice but to put this here...1. What's an average cost for a pedicure?2. My feet/toes are really gross. Which I'm OK with, but other people might not be...Do you think they've seen worse? I'll be mortified if they say, "Omigod! Your feet!!! Are you an alien? I can't touch those!"Just wondering. Thanks, in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJFH Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Sokay......they see all kindsa feet. ;-) Just go in there and pretend like "nothing's unusual here"...hehehe. Usually about $35-$75 depending on where you go.It tickles a little....I have a hard time not giggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchoulia Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Good to know! LOL Luckily, my feet aren't ticklish...probably because I've always preferred to be barefoot where acceptable and can't really feel anything on the bottom of my feet anyway.

Kanada Kev Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Ok ... so I indulged and had one while getting my hair cut last Friday. I was wiped out after a long week and HOLY FUCK pedicures are awesome! Ya, I said it, and i'm completely heterosexual and i'm now a believer in pedicures LOL. $40 for a pedicure/manicure at Yonge & Bloor. I never knew that teeny tiny Vietnamese women were so strong!

Kanada Kev Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Was that $40 w/polish or without? LOL ... well, I didn't go for any polish but I'm pretty sure it does. My wife got a little flower painted on hers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Wooly Mammoth Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 My wife bought me a pedicure years ago. Can't say that it wasn't enjoyable (no polish for me either!). But I've been keeping my aesthetics to facials in recent years - about once a year. They are awesome, I must say. very relaxing, and the ones I get also involve an arm and neck massage.

meggo Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 be careful if they want to use the razor on your feet. d_rawk's mom got cut by her pedicurist last year and it was very painful and didn't heal for months. eeek! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchoulia Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Yeah, my boss just told me the first time she had it done--at the swanky salon in the Park Hyatt, no less--the woman cut her toe. She said it wouldn't stop bleeding and she was limping for a week! And it was well over $100! And the woman didn't even apologize!I don't know what the "razor" is, but I don't want it anywhere near my feet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggo Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 no way jose. i have never had a pedicure but i think they use a razor to cut dead skin off your feet. ewwww. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wooly Mammoth Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 no way jose. i have never had a pedicure but i think they use a razor to cut dead skin off your feet. ewwww. I can confirm that. That was the impetus for my pedicure. I have figured out how to do that myself. And I know that y'all wanted to know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 LOL ... well, I didn't go for any polish but I'm pretty sure it does. My wife got a little flower painted on hers too. how much to include a happy ending? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) my wife only gives ME happy endings, so back off And I sure as hell ain't giving you one Edited July 3, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phorbesie Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 SP i'd say it's worth it to spend extra. the local place here charges 60$ but it's totally pro and luxurious. i decided to get a cheaper one ($30) at the mall (vietnamese place) and my foot got cut and their tools looked scary and not too hygienically cleaned as far as it looked. i worried about the cut after that...so i don't think it was worth it to save a bit of money, esp. if you don't do it often.

Large Marge Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I go to Venus Nails on Bay Street, a few blocks south of Bloor. $35 for a manicure AND pedicure, including polish. If you go later in the day, they can usually do both at once and get you out within an hour. I just got one last week so I won't go with you this time, but it's often more fun with a friend, as the girls who work there don't speak much English.If you go with a pedicure only, bring a magazine or something to read.
