slo’s SUNDAY 7/17 poll - Pedicures

[slo]

When was the last time you had a pedicure?
Are you a man or woman?
(multiple choice)


For Me…..I’m not sure, but if I had to guess, it would be 3 years ago.
I‘m such a cheap sake - I paint my own toenails.

MIL treated me to a pedicure after my son was born, 2007. haven't had one since....I do my own. Have had 2 manicures in my life, one for each of my weddings. I really need to take better care of nails!

July 8......I go every month if I can. I like the massage and all the extras.
I try to make my appointments right before a vacation.
No vacations for awhile but next appointment is Aug 5

 

[Micca]

I had it done once or twice in the previous century. I think it was a gift from someone.

 

[fly girl]

I will occasionally get one before a big vacation. The last time was April of this year before our Spring Break trip to Hawaii.

 

[SandyinMonterey]

April. I get pedicures for special occasions...like travel/vacation.

Years ago - my feet are tricky - long story but I do them myself - it’s not that someone can’t do them - it’s that if they do they cause me huge problems - I have callus for a reason and they need to stay - otherwise my feet bleed - again long story - better I handle myself
I do them every 2-3 weeks - I hate wearing shoes and now have arthritis in my feet as they have been broken several time so I like my toes to look nice

It’s been several years, but I’m not sure how many. I love the way my toes look afterwards, but I hate the process. I know many people enjoy doing it and it’s kind of a self care “me time” experience, but not for me. My feet are ticklish and I have to concentrate really hard to keep from jerking my feet away or squirming when they use that scrubby thing and it feels so uncomfortable to me. I also don’t like the small talk involved with the manicurist so I tend to just do it myself. Unfortunately I don’t do anywhere near as good of a job as they do. I should go back to doing it at least once or twice a year—beginning of sandal season and/or right before vacation. And then I could just maintain what they’ve done.

Woman and I've never had one. I don't like people messing with my feet. Every once in a while I'll polish my toe nails and I have a battery buffer thing that I use to get the old skin off my heels and such.

 

[tvguy]

Never had one and the thought of it makes my toes hurt.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I'm a woman and I've never had one. I don't think it's conducive to a pedicure to have me shout, "Ack! Don't touch my feet!" whenever the person doing the pedicure comes near me.

 

[YachtClubWoman]

Voted other since I went yesterday for a pedicure
Every 2 weeks spring and summer
Monthly in winter

 

[RedAngie]

I only had one once, about 30ish years ago, and only because a friend begged me to go with her. It was pleasant but I never felt it was necessary.

 

[mamamary]

Never had one. I do just as good a job as my dd who gets them done. It’s just not worth the money to me.

 

[penn19]

I try for once a month. Definitely before a big event/vacation. I feel more polished I guess. And I don’t do a great job myself.

 

[Kitty 34]

I do my own nails....toes or fingers.

 

[fla4fun]

I do my own. It’s not something I think about doing. I have issues with nail polish causing my nails to detach from the nail bed, so I just trim, file, and buff my nails instead. I don’t wear long fingernails, so no manicures either.

 

[disneychrista]

I have never had a manicure or pedicure. I also do not paint my nails (fingers or toes). I trim my toe nails regularly. My finger nails never need trimming because they break regularly.

 

[disney4us2002]

The idea of someone touching my feet gives me the heebie jeebies. No way! I get manicures maybe once a year.

 

[PollyannaMom]

No pedicures for me. I've had a manicure once or twice, but I usually just do my own nails (if they're polished at all).
