Are there any places that give free manicure/pedicures in the USA?

Oct 03, 2008 by . | Posted in Other - Beauty & Style

I know that training hair stylists give free or discounted prices to "train" on you for a haircut. Is there a similar type of situation where I could go for a free manicure or pedicure?

no their arent.
but you can try to look for special deals or coupons online.

Manicures and Pedicures: What Is Most Important To You When Getting A Manicure or Pedicure?

Apr 09, 2007 by NONAME | Posted in Other - Beauty & Style

I am a nail technician and I would like to hear your stories. What do you look for when choosing a nail tech?

Ex:
--Cleanliness
--Quality of work
--Nail "Care" and Recovery Not Just "Beauty"
--Atmosphere
--Conversation
--Appointment Management
--Price
--Menu Choices (Too many or not enough)
--Service Time(s)
--Massage ("Hurry up, I'm late" or "Slow down, what's the rush?")
--Nightmare Experiences and Heavenly Ones? Tell me about them
Feetie, with a user name like that is it any wonder you are pondering the idea of becoming a "pedicurist?" haha I will email you some information. :)

I would love to be a pedicurists. Tell me did you go to school to learn it. And i would guess quality of work as the most important

| Apr 09, 2007

Creativity is by far the most important factor when chosing a nail tech. I'd like my nails to look better than everyone elses and better than mine have ever looked.
Miss Bruna | Apr 09, 2007

i would say definatly cleanliness and price i dont want to put my feet in a tub thats been used by someone with corns and not washed properly! i want to see the tub being cleaned correctly and cleaned again if i ask. also price is a big issue. dont make your customers over pay for a crappy job. if they arent pleased offer a discount on this or the next job. just make sure they have a legit. reason in your eyes.
his_future_wifey | Apr 09, 2007

Listed most important:
1. price
2. atmosphere includes sanitary guidelines- spa place
3. conversation- a real conversation
4. quality of work- PROFESSIONALISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would return and became a regular client if these are most prominent
Ricki | Apr 09, 2007

for me, i would have to say that the cleanliness, quality of work and price are important, but THE most important thing in "conversation".
when doing a pedicure, converastion is limited because the client is probably reading a magazine, but when the client is having a manicure done, all she can do is look around and if you're not talking to her, she'll feel uncomfortable, which is NOT the image you want the salon to be. When you talk to the client, she'll feel more relaxed, making the salon / spa a calmer and inviting atmosphere. so just talking to the client isnt just for her, but for the salon aswell!

♥sunkissed♥ | Apr 09, 2007

Cleanliness and quality of work are so crucial! Its so important to have clean tools and and equipment! Quality of work is key too...its so disappointing to get a pedi and have it look like I did it at home!
The other key thing that will make you stand out in my opinion, is the massage! The fabulous foot massage I get from my nail tech is the real reason I keep going back to her!!! She gives such a great massage that I fall asleep in the chair half the time!
Please be good at doing french polish! Those thick white lines are so tacky and ugly!
screamingflower34 | Apr 09, 2007

All of your points listed are important, and I'm going to add a few and comment!
--Convenience "to get to and parking"
--Ability to help with a nail emergency, we all have them
--The overall energy of the environment of the shop "music, smells, noise levels of equipment and clients, color, ambiance, and decor" it's got to FEEL right in the shop.
--The staff must be regular, not changing every appointment
--Well versed in the business, professionally trained and attentive to emerging trends in the industry
--Membership in professional associations and active in the local business community.
--Extending the courtesy of a reminder call for appointments.
Now having said this the most important thing if all the other importnat things have been well attended to, they must be sincere in their desire to care for my hands and feet, and one can tell when someone really cares, this being very important to me. Treat the customers right and word of mouth will keep you gainfully employed always, fail this and no amount of advertising will save your business.

What are your thoughts about guys getting manicures and pedicures?

Apr 12, 2007 by af1986 | Posted in Other - Beauty & Style

Voice your opinion about how you feel about guys getting a manicure (pedicure)? Is it to girly or gay? Does it make them (us) less of a man? What woman think about thier guys getting manicures or pedicures?

Its great, nice to see a man take care of himself. It shouldnt matter what people think when making decisions like this, b/c I know many women who love metrosexual men, and there are also many people out there who love "tough" guys. So do what you want, there will always be a hater and a "lover".

Jukebox | Apr 12, 2007

More men are doing it. I think it's okay. Plus if you are single, you can meet lots of girls!
Stephanie | Apr 12, 2007

if guys are gay than its fine with me but if their not then we have something to worry about... like this guy in long john silvers here in michigan had acrillic nails and i could tell he wasnt gay and it sort of freaked me out, but like i said if their gay its fine with me...
GizmoBaby | Apr 12, 2007

It's okay as long as they aren't painted!!! i hate holding a guy's hand who has nasty hands or nails.............i think it's ok
hottie with a body.....kiss me | Apr 12, 2007

I think its fine. It shows that a guy can take care of himself, and cares about himself enough. Paired with a lot of feminine qualities it could be treading on the gay side, but if you are a guy's guy for the most part, i see no problem in taking care of yourself and looking your best.
Mandi Jo | Apr 12, 2007

It says you care about your appearance which is wonderful. Men should look good for us too. But I must say, I draw the line at waxing major body parts. That is just too weird. lol
ili_31 | Apr 12, 2007

its no biggy my boyfriend does it every 2 weeks
bobbijo g | Apr 12, 2007

personaly i get my nails done every two weeks, and i love it, its healthy and keeps your hands nice.
i think its fine if a guy wants a manicure, just because he wants to take care of his hands and nails does not make him gay, or less of a man, its health and hygiene. nothing wrong with it,
sparklechic2010 | Apr 12, 2007

Manicures are okay I get them now and then. But men should never get pedicures it is against the laws of nature. Only women's feet should be adorned and worshipped!
Feetie | Apr 12, 2007

i dont c anything wrong when a man gets a manicure or padicure thats great that means if i wanna go get mine done i can go with hem 2 n thats good that some guys like to take care of their feet n hands
qt_510 | Apr 12, 2007

i think there gay
jjjgreene1 | Apr 12, 2007

I dont mind at all. I think its nice. I dont like it when guys wear nailpolish though so I hope they keep that part out.
chiara | Apr 12, 2007

i think all guys should do it!!! it shows that a man is conscientious about his appearance & wants to look good!!! women are expected to keep themselves up & look nice, & i think it should be the same for men!!! it`s not girly or gay, it`s COOL!!!
*atomickitty* | Apr 12, 2007

I don't think it's gay or girly.
I have tried to get my husband to go for a while. Would u rather have your nails or toenails looking like crap?
go get it done.
j.d | Apr 12, 2007

I can't stand it. I think a man's hands should be rugged and not like mine at all. I would be horrified if my man did that. What's next? Asking if it's ok to wear thongs and makeup?
Angie1030 | Apr 12, 2007

I don't really like how feminized men are becoming. Manicures, maybe, for professional men who want to appear neat and well-groomed in meetings,etc. But pedicures? I don't like men who are that into their looks. I want to be the pretty one in the relationship!
Ronnie | Apr 12, 2007

I think its gay*
INC0GNIT0 | Apr 12, 2007

Well, it depends on the guy. If they are totally homophobic then they wont get it done. In my opinion I don't think it's a big deal, honestly I would prefer a guy that takes care of himself than one who thinks grunge is just the way all men should be. My boyfriend and I are going to get facials this weekend... I don't think he's less of a man for that... I think that it shows that he cares about what people think of his appearance, and although everyone should always have down time where they can just throw on some sweats and a t-shirt and hang, I think that "clean is in" and a man will have more oportunities if he keeps up appearances. A mani/pedi is a good relaxing thing for anyone (just as long as the guy isn't getting polished, lol)!
i ♥ my bf | Apr 12, 2007

I was a nail technician for a few years and my flat mate was male at the time he always came into the shop and got manicures - quite funny actually because I worked from a hairdressing salon that many older ladies went to and one day I heard one of them say "OH MY GOD THATS A MAN!!" LOL we just laughed he couldnt care less what people thought he just liked the feeling and loved the hand and arm massage part of the manicure - personally I never did pedicures because I just cant stand the thought of touching other peoples feet LOL

I used to do falseys for transvestites as well - personally I dont care - if its what you want then thats what you get :)
Kazz | Apr 12, 2007

The actual For Him mani's and pedi's are great. Nothing like holding a rough hand, and nothing hurts more than a rough... you know...

I wouldn't consider it bad unless he painted his nails. Then we have an issue, but there is nothing wrong with a well groomed man. Plus its relaxing for you! So go for it. Try the mans deluxe sugar scrub ones, they are great.
nioctcrypt | Apr 12, 2007

It falls under the category of "grooming" . So what's the big deal? I know a guy that got in management and he started getting his eyebrows done. Of course, if you ever get into the military watch out. It would be considered weak and "weakness" will be exploited. ( I wouldn't worry about it, but, I wouldn't brag about it either)
Daddy | Apr 12, 2007

personally, i would think at first that man was gay. but i wouldn't really know because some male actors do that or they maybe just want to have healthy nails or something. and i don't think it makes them "un-manly", just a little wierd to me.
aoosh has answers! | Apr 12, 2007

i like when guys take care of themselves
angiee | Apr 12, 2007

i am OK with it. I would rather have a man with a girly pedicure/manicure, than having nasty ugly nails. You probably only need to have the nails buffed or put on a clear/matte polish that looks natural.
Lisa H | Apr 12, 2007

I am all for it. My boyfriend wont go near a nail salon due to the last time he went with me i talked him into getting tips put on as a joke. it was really funny until he realized that removing them was alot of work. but it was cute. Although if he would have enjoyed having them done that way i would have worried lol. But i think its ok if guys want to get a basic mani/pedi, as long as its not feminine.

How much does a manicure/pedicure cost on average?

Jun 21, 2008 by You Know That You Love Me. . . | Posted in Other - Beauty & Style

I was just wondering how much a manicure and peedicure cost on average. If more precise, how much is it at Kim's Nails in Newton Highlands? Well, they have these massage chairs for a pedicure. Does that cost more? Thank you so much for answering this question.

I charge $25 for mani and $35 for pedi. I live in kerrville Texas. I am sure prices are higher elsewhere. I spend an our on my pedicure clients and abut 45 min on manis.

mamma | Jun 21, 2008

Where I live they're about $45 for both
Brebear | Jun 21, 2008

If it is a vietnamese place (not a spa), a pedicure costs about $30, and a manicure costs about $15. If it's a spa, about $60 for a pedicure, and $45 for a manicure.




I hope this helps!
chrisitna_7861 | Jun 21, 2008

i have never gotten a manicure, but here in japan, pedicures are normally about 40 dollars, and yes massage chairs are a part of the pedicure. :)
:D | Jun 21, 2008

~Confused but loved~ | Jun 21, 2008

It depends where you go. For both it can be between $40-$100. Hope this helps. Or you can just call the nail place and ask how much everything costs!Answer my question please.

How do I talk my wife into getting manicure and pedicure?

Jan 24, 2008 by Robsdaddy | Posted in Other - Beauty & Style

She's more of a "tomboy" and doesn't wear make-up often. Since our son was born, she's always complaining that she's breaking/cracking her nails. Although I find a nice manicure/pedicure attractive on a woman, I don't consider myself some sort of fetishist. I'm afraid if I bring it up (or buy her a gift certificate for a nail salon), she'll think I am one. Any suggestions on how to bring up the subject?

How could she assume your a fetishist just from a gift certificate? and doesnt she know her husband+ Get her the gift certificate and tell her that you think she's deserves to be pampered.

How much do tip a person who gives you a manicure/pedicure/full set?

Dec 30, 2005 by Leese | Posted in Other - Beauty & Style

I'm unsure how much to tip any person who gives me a manicure/pedicure or even a full set at the nail salon. I figure a couple of dollars is appropriate.

15 - 20 % of the cost.

Blue | Feb 02, 2006

Personally I give 5 or 10 dollars, but its up to an indevidual on how much they can spare. My daughter does hair and nails and says no matter how much you can afford its always nice to tip the person who does your hair or nails. It works the same way as waitress's tips basically. Thats how they make there money. Hope that helped.

How much should I tip a massage therapist and someone who does a manicure & pedicure?

May 16, 2006 by mommy_2_little_man | Posted in Tattoos

I'm getting a massage and a manicure and pedicure today. usually tip? Or is a tip even expected? It is at a day spa...

Anybody providing a service for you should be tipped. As in a restaurant, the average tip is 15% for so-so service to 20+% for good service.

digilook | May 16, 2006

one million escudos
frank | May 16, 2006

For manicure and pedicure I leave $5, I am not sure about massage.
sweetundina | May 16, 2006

Tips are expected, I believe, and at some places are added on for you!! I think 15-20% is the norm.
lisa352 | May 16, 2006

I don't know the quidelines for that. I know my wife tips her hair dresser. She had a massage but didn't mention giving the lady a tip.

Sorry I couldn't be any help.
fargodakota | May 16, 2006

Yes, a tip is expected....because they are offering up their services to you! For the massage therapist, it depends upon how long & how much she does....usually it's 10% - 15%...
leecarh | May 16, 2006

There is no need to tip them, now if it was a restaurant then there in no problem in giving the person who is attending to your table a tip. There salary may be much less and there is more work entailed.
scalouge | May 16, 2006

If the same person is doing all 3, give them ten. Otherwise I would give 5 for the massage and 5 for the mani and pedi. It's not expected but those people do have to rent their space in the spa (usually).

What color should I choose for my manicure/pedicure?

Apr 10, 2007 by Melissa G | Posted in Other - Beauty & Style

I'm getting married on the beach of Oahu and am getting a manicure and pedicure today. I'm not sure what color to choose. I'm thinking something light on the hands but for my toenails should I match or go with something brighter?

Do a nude color with a french manicure on your feet. It really looks so nice.

What to wear when getting a manicure/pedicure done?

Dec 24, 2008 by girlygurl23 | Posted in Fashion & Accessories

As a crossdresser, I maybe getting a manicure/pedicure done for the first time,going with friend of mine. What can I wear that is a girly, yet I can also get the mani/pedi

i would wear some sandals and some short shorts but depending on wear you live then it may be cold and if that's the case then i would wear sandals and sweat pants i see girls getting pedicures and wearing sweat pants all the time its just something to wear its cold outside just because you are a crossdresser doesn't mean you have to be stupid and wear something that will end up getting you sick from the cold. flip flops would be good to show off your toes when your done but if you want to be girly then wear a dress and sandals but wear a dress that at least goes to your knees. please don't get sick from wearing a mini skirt

baseball10272 | Dec 24, 2008

What do they do when you get a manicure/pedicure?

Jun 06, 2007 by chris | Posted in Other - Beauty & Style

i am getting a manicure/pedicure tonight, and wondered what they do to you when you get them.Also can you give suggestions on what i should get done?
-people that have had manicures/pedicures done ONLY please!!

They pour some powder into the foot bath, turn it on, and stick your feet in.
Some salons even have massaging chairs while your feet soak.
After a while, they turn the jets off, dry your feet, massage, and begin "sanding" the dead skin off from callouses on the pads of your feet.
Then they go to your toes and clip away at excess dead skin there before they paint them.
After your nails dry a bit they give you these flimsy flip-flops for you to walk in while your nails dry and they do your nails.

Depends on the kind of manicure you want done, though.
They'll massage your hand for a little before starting.
If it's a French manicure with fake tips, they trim your nails, shape them, and glue the fake tips on.
Then after they put the rest of the nail coating on, they file and buff by hand and with a tool for a while. Make sure to tell them if that hurts, because they shouldn't be hurting your cuticles.

If it's a regular one, they just shape and file your nails before painting them.
And if they have a lamp, they'll direct you towards it so your nails can dry and harden quickly.
