I wrote this in my wife’s nail salon. On the way there today I was informed she had also made an appointment for me to have a pedicure and manicure.
Yup, a first. It was pointless to resist, besides I was curious. On the other hand, it would be difficult to get more into unnecessary spending.
I recall in Copenhagen there was a shop where you put your feet in a tub of water filled with little fish who nibbled dead skin off your feet. This wasn’t that thankfully. That’s a bit creepy. With my luck a piranha would have mistakenly gotten into the tub.
The pedicure was especially enjoyable. Having my old feet and legs massaged was wonderful, exfoliating and a soothing cream, warm towels, oh my😇 Soaking in warm detox salt water was relaxing. I felt a bit guilt sitting next to Connie and enjoying myself so much, I was the only male in the place, but it WAS her idea.
Don’t knock it gentlemen. However, please note I declined color on my fingers and toes. Who knows, the next time I may ask for Mercedes gray😎
The bill was $49 plus tip. An extravagance I admit, but if I had a budget, a pedicure would be added as a line item, but the next one is on my calendar. It’s better time spent with Connie than at a doctors office.
The price you quote sounds reasonable. There doesn’t seem to be much variation in our NE region. I was given a foot massager/spa yesterday. Though it won’t give me the pedicure and special details of your massage, I’m going to give it a try today- looks like it’s going to snow so it’s a good day to relax at home. And free. Merry Christmas/Happy Christmas!
My wife used to take me for luxury haircuts in China (the scalp massage and hot facial towels were delightful), but neither of us has ever had a professional manicure or pedicure in our entire lives.
20th anniversary coming up… hmmm…
I agree with Dick’s suggestion: My sister gave me gift certificates to my local nail shop several times when we lived near each other. I was very grateful. Though my husband loved the foot massages he got in China, which were one thing that helped his neuropathy for several days after, I don’t think he would have gone for a mani pedi date afternoon. But I think it sounds like fun! Hope you give it a try.
When we were in the salon a fellow came it to buy his wife gift certificates to put in her stocking. I bet it was appreciated.
