Well, time for me to get back on my nail soap box :sb:

Please, make sure your nail tech is licensed, and that the salon is clean and well maintained. I have covered this subject in the Beauty Club in detail if anyone is interested. Thanks, I now return you to the thread :D

I paid $12 last Saturday for a manicure -- plus a healthy tip.

I would never waste money on a manicure. Isn't this something you can do yourself?

...and you can cut your own hair too, but would you? If you have never had the pleasure of being pampered, then you have really missed out....

that is the main reason i want to do it....i can take care of my nails myself.... heck i use to have long nails that i buffed every night...... but then i tried to get away from the cd thing and cut them off and just recently let them grow back but i figured why put all the effort into making them cute then going to a nail salon ....id rather wait and watch the technique so i can duplicate it :-) ...... by the way on ebay there are nice manicure kits with electronic buffers and everything for like $10 ....im down to $40 in paypal (had over 300 and went nutso when i got back into cd'ing and have spent like $150 in the last month alone) ...but anyways just thought id let yall know bout the nail kit .....it's nice

You need to buy all the products and tools to do a manicure, but how will you actually know what you are doing? Having a manicure may seem like a waste of money, but until you have actually been into a salon and sat there being pampered, you can not say it's a waste of money. The whole point of going to a salon is not just to have treatments, it's about going out, meeting people, having a chat, boosting your confidence and being pampered.

So don't knock it till you have tried it.

very well putWhy thank you :D Being a Beauty Therapist, I see just how having treatments make clients feel. They come into the salon, maybe had a really bad week etc. But by the time they have had a manicure or pedicure etc and have sat there for an hour or so being pampered, having a chat etc you can see the difference when they leave. Yeah maybe it costs a bit, but you can't put a price on being happy can you ;)
