My GF/SO had her regular salon visit Friday, and offered to treat me to a manicure. I opted instead for a pedicure; I do keep my toes polished now and am still developing the condition of the cuticles. I thought having a pro get at them can only do a better job than what I've accomplished.
I'd removed the old polish before we left but the worker could see residue at the cuticle line and immediately remarked on it. I took that as the moment to pull my bottle of polish from my pocket and advise her I wanted them done fresh as part of the treatment.
The lady didn't bat an eye and carried on as if it was an everyday thing. I commented it probably wasn't typical for the men she works on and she remarked they generally go for a clear coat.
This is a large full treatment day spa facility with massage and waxing services as well as usual the hair, facial and nail treatments. Two stories of luxury. The ladies there were all very professional and didn't make me feel at all uncomfortable.
My feet got a nice soak, bathing, exfoliation and rub down before the actual nail and cuticle treatment. She finished by applying the polish in quick deft movements... that part was much easier and neater when done by her than I've ever managed.
All in all it was a very positive experience; certainly a first for me.
