It was a fish pedicure though! It tickled at first, but it’s pretty cool, and you get used to it. I think I’ll get another pedicure eventually.

Should've done this a long time ago
2 years ago
My feet were hard as horn, the nails were dull, and everything ached. My feet are always crammed into shoes and undergo so much shock that they needed this. I can’t recommend it enough and to top it off it’s very relaxing.
Info about pedicures is pretty easy to find on the web, but here’s my experience: ask around from people you trust as to what salons they recommend. Any place you go to, look around. Are they sterilizing their equipment? Using fresh equipment (as applicable) on each new person? Or does their hygiene leave something to be desired? You don’t want to have to deal with an infection!
First you’ll soak your feet. Actually, you’ll soak your feet inbetween each step of the process to keep the skin and nails supple and easily manageable. Typically, your nails will be trimmed, cuticles pushed back, moisturizer will be applied, and calluses taken care of with a pumice stone (or razor, I’ve heard, depending on how thick they are). They’ll apply polish, and some places will massage your legs as they go. It varies.
Bring something good to read: if you get polish, you’re feet will be put beneath a dryer for a bit.
The cost of a pedicure typically goes $20 and up. A good tip is 10-20%.
I really want to do this

I’m a little nervous, though(I know, silly, right?). Anyone know of a website where I could find out more about what exactly would happen?
Chocolate pedicure
3 years ago
Since it was my first, I had to make it a doozy! Had a delicious smelling chocolate mint scrub, chocolate parrafin wrapped around my feet, and chocolate moisturizer on my legs. My toes are so happy! It was rather pricey, so I’ll be saving this for special occasions only.
totally worth doing
