Do you cut your nails on your own or let someone do it for you??

oh? another nail thing topic... well,i'm not fond of going to manicurist or something. i just want to cut my own nails instead. i once went to a manicurist because i have to attend a wedding. and it was the first time i got my nails colored. the first time also to bleed my nails. i don't like the thought of cutting the nails of someone,it's like they're being lazy.and i often cut my mother's nails for she has not enough energy to cut it herself.my 3yr.old niece of course,i do cut her nails,the way she liked it.

When I was still young my mother is the one who's doing it for me. It's good thing that she's extra careful in doing it. Ow! poor nails of yours I might possibly not talk to my grandmother in a week for doing it to me. It's like a torture. haha... O well, Now that I have all the control for my body as a lady I do the cutting of nails. I can never do trust anybody to do that except my mother and myself. I was very careful and strict for some dirt on my feet because I want it to be always clean. When a manicurist accidentally made my feet or fingers bleed for cutting my nails. I might possibly be aggressive so in order to avoid that I do it myself I can save money by doing it too so that's it

I remember when I first got married and my mother-in-law was shocked that I didn't cut my husband's toenails for him. I've always done my own too. But now I've got this dang psoriasis in my nails, and I have this one toenail that I sometimes need help with. Getting old is such fun!

The majority of the times I do it myself. I have to cut them at least every week because they grow so fast. I moved from New York to New Mexico and in NM they grow so much faster then in New York. I guess its because of the lack of humidity in New Mexico. Once in a blue moon I will go to a nail salon and get a manicure and pedicure.

i personally cut my own nails if i saw them long enough, i hate to have long nails and im not comfortable with it and sometimes i let the manicurist do it specially while i still have my job coz i still have money to pay and since im too busy and too lazy and tired cleaning my own nails. though i can relate to you but mine is my hair, when it comes to my hair i dont want unprofessional to cut it, as i used to had a bad experience when i was a child when a gay cut my hair as he said his professional, he went house to house to cut someones hair with pay of course, and after he cut mine i really cried coz its ugly and all my friends are laughing at me, so since then even when i was still a child, my mother always bring me to professionals just to cut my hair.

i cut my own nails unless if i am getting a manicure or a pedicure that the manicurst will have to do it for me...

I cut my own nails. I've never been to a manicurist, nor am I interested in going to one. However, like you, my grandmother would do it for me sometimes when I was growing up. Fortunately for me she never made them bleed. Otherwise I think I would have freaked! LOL Happy mylotting!

Hi khaezi! I always did my nails since I was very young! I learned how to shape them, polish them and take great care of them! I always had long and strong nails all my life and never went to a manicurist except for one time when one of my girlfriends got me that as a birthday gift! I hated it because, like you I didn't like anyone touching my nails! But, for some strange reason about two years ago my nails started to split and won't grow anymore! It is very upsetting for me because I always had the "perfect" nails! I think it is a "getting old" thing! Oh well! I still keep them polished!

I usually cut my own. In fact I just did it today. I have to keep them short. I have something wrong with me and my nais are weak and split a lot. I like to cut them outside in the summer so if I make a mess I don't have to clean it up. I usually wear clear polish or no polish at all. The clear kind I wear is supposed to make them stronger but I don't notice any improvements.

I always cut my own nails. I have never been to a manicurist. Even my wife has to force me just so she can cut my nails. i can trust a barber to use razor blades but there's just no way i can let anybody cut my nails.

It used to be barber in my childhood but now I do it myself. I got nail cutter and that makes it easy to cut your nails without any problem. I see some peoples cutting their nails by teeh which is such a bad practice.

Same as you I cut my nails on my own. I've never let someone do it for me for the same reason as yours. I'm scared my toenails might get murdered. Sometimes some of my friends would tell and even show me what happened to their toenails after they had a manicure and pedicure. They end up with a swollen toe. They can't wear a shoe. I don't remove my cuticle also. I just simply cut and clean my nails and that's it. If ever I'd have a manicure or pedicure I'd never allow that person to remove my cuticle.

I always cut my own nails. I've had boyfriends in the past who would let me cut their toe nails. I can't stand having fingernails that are long. The moment they start to grow passed my skin, I cut them so no more white shows.

I always cut my nail my self. When I was child my mom do it for me and now i quite expert doing it myself. The boy seem lazy to cut their own nails, my dad nails always cut by mom. I will get my hand clipped every week and if I ha special occasion I will do manicure myself too.

Most of the time I cut my nails for myself. Occasionally I will go out to have my nails polished because it makes my nails beautiful and it is very comfortable. When I was pregnant, I would ask my husband to cut my foot nails because I couldn't do it myself because of my big belly:) I love China

I always cut my own nails. I never really like putting nail polish on my fingernails but I like putting on my toenails. I rarely go to the manicurist or pedicurist because I can do it my own even if I am not a professional. I never cut anyone's nails but I have tried once with my husband. He loves cutting his own nails too so I just mind my own. Oh I remember I am the one cutting our son's nails. He is just 1 year and 7 months old so he can't do it yet.

I cut on my own too..but when I was young my parents used to cut nails..I think most of them will cut on their own.And yes it will pain a lot when it starts bleeding..I have experienced that...It is good to see that you take care of your boyfriend's nails..I too wish have the same with my girlfriend.. Happy mylotting

for practicality if you have time to do it why not? me i am the one who make it to cut my nails especially to finger. i have to cut it from others only if i know that it must! when it need some professional to do it especially when i have my dry skin..

I cut my own nails. Girls are more likely to go to manicurist. For guys it just need to be short and that's it.

I love having my nails done by someone else. For me, a trip to the salon for a manicure and pedicure is a stress reliever. I especially love it when the manicurist gives my hands and feet a quick massage. Sometimes, though, I cut my nails when I don't have time to go to the salon, or when I give my nails a rest from nail polish.
