does anyone else get them done?
i want to start getting them done but have never before, i normally just do my nails at home.

what is the process like? is there anything i should look out for? i've heard some beauticians cut cuticles etc which i've been told you shouldn't do?

i get a french like every month or so.

its normal. she does your cuticles, shapes your nails, paints them, puts on a few coats of cuticle/nail balm and thats it. takes about an hour. i love it.

make sure she doesnt use this kinda drill on your nails, it leaves a nasty mark [bumps] when your nails grow back.

i get mani/pedi's all the time.
and no they're not supposed to cut your cuticles as it can leave you open for infection and all that, but i absolutely love having my cuticles cut. i don't know why, it just makes me feel nice and clean and tidy. i would request it if they didn't do it.

i've also heard they shouldn't soak your hands in water before a mani, something about the oils in your fingernails expanding and then contracting which causes the paint to chip quicker...i'm not sure how true that is though.

you ask what to expect like you're going in for a surgical procedure! it's a luxury! just find a nice, clean salon, book your appointment and enjoy yourself.

Believe it or not, I've never been to a nail salon to get a professional mani or pedi, ever. I figure if I can do it myself at home, why should I pay 10 times the price to get it professionally done.

i would LOVE to get a pedicure
i hate feed, except my boyfriends, and touching mine makes me feel so ill, i would like it if someone did it for me
hahah
