Having a manicure and pedicure in salons are not very advisable. Why? Oh darling! It is so expensive! On my 5 years here as an expat, I only got 4 done in a salon.
Last Thursday, I do my own toenails. I pulled out a ΒΌ inch ingrown on my right big toe. Woohoo! It is a relief. Then after a day, I felt that my big toe stings whenever I make a step. To my surprise it was inflamed! Haha! This morning before I go to office, I put some alcohol, open up an antibiotic capsule poured the powder on my swollen toe and tip some alcohol again.
Now I feel the pain more tolerable.
Who do your manicure and pedicure?

Take an antibiotic for that so the swelling will subside and will heal .
I always do my own pedicure . That's because i had a bad experience at the salon before wherein the manicurist took too much of my ingrown from my toenail . It too , swelled .
At least if it is me , i can feel outright if it is too much ingrown .

I go to a salon and I have been doing it for years now. It is lalziness sometimes that I put off going there and then I have to trim them myself. They just do not give in as they become hard.

@wiLLmaH I normally combine the hair cut, feet massage and such. So I really would not know how much each of these would cost.

I have only had a manicure/pedicure twice in my life at a salon. One being my sister's wedding and the other, for fun when I was back in high school years ago just to experience being pampered. Now, I do my own manicure/pedicures after hearing many horror stories with nail salons. And, I have experienced an ingrown toe nail once - it was extremely painful. I hope yours heal soon.

I just cut toenails as they get big and brittle - that's about it for me

I always do my own nails because I don't trust salons. I might end up getting infection on my nails. I've seen many cases like that.
I love getting them done. Its great to relax while you are pampered.
