I like my nails to look nice but I've never had a professional manicure. Are they worth the money? Thought I might use my earnings here to treat myself!

Yeah, I've done all that myself too, what I really want to know is whether anyone has ever found paying for it to be doen to be a good idea. Normally I'm very strict with my cash and don't treat myself to anything, let alone beauty treatments. But, the idea of a manicure sounds sort of relaxing, but will I hate myself for spending the money afterwards?

I have had many professional manicures - at least 20 or more. Some salons are better than others in that some supply a wonderful hand and arm massage. I have also had fools that hurt me by cutting my cuticles too closely. Another consideration is cleanliness. One of the last manicures I had about 4 years ago left me with a terrible cuticle infection that took three different rounds of antibiotics to cure. This salon was new and in a ritzy neighborhood. To this day, my cuticle will swell and hurt a few days, then it goes away. It will probably never be right again. That said, a professional manicure is a nice treat but I would get a recommendation or go to a well-known salon not a little place in the mall or a strip center but a full-fledged spa place.

My sister has had a pedicure done professionally. She never thought she would ever have such a thing done. After receiving a pedicure as a prize she won, she had her first pedicure. She told me that she would pay money to have this done on a regular basis. I would love to have one done, just once. But, until my ship comes in, I will have to pass.
