slo’s SUNDAY 7/17 poll - Pedicures

[AppleDumpling]

I’ve never had a pedicure and have no desire for one. Have to agree with those here who aren’t comfortable having their feet touched by strangers. Thought I was weird, but seems like I’m not the only one. Idk, it feels too intimate for me. Never had a massage either. Plus, I really don’t like the feel of polish on my nails.

Once in a while, I do polish my own toenails and/or fingernails at home, but I have to take it off at the end of each day and reapply. Guess I have sensitivity issues; it feels like my nails can’t breathe. I’ve had a professional manicure twice in my life, both times gifted by well-meaning friends.

It's been about 15 years. First time I ever went, and the first time I ever got a nail fungus. Never again.

I hate toes and feet. It just grosses me out to talk about them. However, I went every 2 weeks for years. Now I just do my own - Color Street rocks!

 

[luvnwdwgal]

I’ve never had a mani or a pedi. I’m just not into it. I never wear fingernail polish and I only put polish on my toenails for a couple months over the summer. I can do that myself and save a lot of money.

 

[Kittyblue]

I get a pedi every month and mani every 2 weeks.

 

[DisneyHardin]

I got a few times a year. I had one a couple weeks ago before we went on vacation.

 

[CynBeth]

No pedicures for me I do my own I am too ticklish. I also do my own fingernails for the most part but once or twice a year get a manicure.

 

[LoveSpringsteen]

I’m a woman. I’ve only had pedicures a few times before cruise vacations and I’ve only had a manicure once before my wedding 25 years ago.

I'm a woman, and it's been 7 years. I only remember how long it's been because it was shorty after our house got hit by a tornado. A friend wanted to treat DD and I after we got the bulk of the mess cleaned up. DD and I used to go once or twice a year, but any more I get too freaked out with cleanliness to go. I love the massage part of a pedi, but I'm very ticklish so I get unrelaxed real quick

 

[leebee]

I've had one, and am not really a fan. I might have one in another month, just before DD's and my trip to Disney in late August, but when I think of the cost and how much I don't really love them, I'm not sure

 

[MIGrandma]

I’m a woman and have never had a pedicure or manicure either. Just not interested in spending money on that sort of thing.

 

[E&Cmom]

Over 10 years ago at least.

 

[tinkerbellandpeterpan]

I used to get pedicures at least once a month and a manicure every two weeks, but obviously stopped when the pandemic started. I got out of the habit and now don't really want to spend the money (and I'm not going into an office) even though I really enjoy them.
I do my nails myself now with Lily and Fox wraps which are super inexpensive and awesome and do my own pedicures with just regular polish. I'd love to go back to getting them done professionally, but with financial changes due to the pandemic and everything else going on in the economy, I'm just plugging along doing them myself for now.

I will be getting one this week for a wedding coming up. Last time was also for a wedding last year. Used to get them done before going on a cruise as well.

When I get them done it will last me the rest of the summer for my toes. Finger nails don’t last as long because I don’t do the shelic stuff or wear false nails. They break easy and don’t want to damage my nails more so plain colour for the day of the wedding if it last that long…lol

I do wish I had nice nails like I see others have all the time though.

 

[VandVsmama]

I had a pedicure one time about 10 years ago and hated the entire experience. I hate to have somebody else touch my feet (very ticklish). And I'm totally grossed out by the entire process, even though I do a modified version of that myself at home. Plus, the pedicures around here run $30. If I have an extra $30, I want to spend it on plants instead!

 

[Breezy_Carol]

I had one about a month ago before we went to the beach. I'll have another before
WDW in a month.

 

[goooof1]

Never. No thanks. I do not want anyone trying to clip/cut my nails....don't want to lose skin or get poked. Just creepy !

 

[easyas123]

1 part of the year (warmer weather) I get a pedicure every 2 weeks and a regular/no polish manicure every 4 weeks, the other part of the year (colder weather) I get a gel manicure every 2 weeks and a pedicure every 4 weeks.
I have a standing appt. every other Wednesday evening with someone I've been seeing for probably 10? years now. It's just a little luxury I enjoy for myself and finally have the time for.

 

[monsterkitty]

I can't even tell you when my last pedicure was. For me it's a waste of money because the polish doesn't stay on as I swim so much. I also need feet on the rougher side because I have to run barefoot from the river or lake to my bike. Baby soft feet are eaten alive when running over rocky, sandy, yucky surfaces.

 

[JenBush]

Never, growing up I did ballet and pedicures are not recommended when doing pointe. My feet were always tore up with blisters and calluses. Now, as an adult I’ve considered getting a pedicure, but to me the cost isn’t worth it when I can paint my nails at home.
