I got my pedi while I was waiting for my hair color to set. I'm going to be sitting at the salon anyway, so I might as well do something productive with my time. Color, cut, blow out, eye brow wax, and pedicure is $87 including tip. And I go to one of the "expensive" salons in the area. LCOLA, baby!! Highlights, cut, blow out, eyebrow wax and pedicure is pushing $400 in my neck of the woods. One reason I've given up on highlights and only get the hair trimmed 3-4 times a year. $87 would barely cover the pedicure and eye brow wax here. And I do not go to the most expensive salon in town, just one that knows how to cut difficult hair well.

I don't want to know what all of that would cost here. I paid $60 dollars to get my hair, washed and conditioned, dried and straightened after my surgery in August. I tipped her $15. By the time I hit day 3 of no showering allowed my hair was a greasy mess.
I get my hair done at my old salon in a MCOL. It's $200 with tip for highlights, cut, glaze and styling.
I did stumble onto the best waxing/nail place up here. It is cheap! And not HCOL cheap either.

Since I used to be a manicurist and I can't stand to be touched by others and I know that bath for feet aren't properly disinfected and clippers arent properly disinfected (EVER! do not even try to tell me otherwise!) and I can reach my toes - I preffer to have mine everything done by myself. Saves a lot too!
But whoever likes to have their feet soaked in warm tub after 1000 people with exemas and other skin issues - enjoy!

I love pedicures, but they're so expensive here that I don't do it very often. Generally I'm pretty good at doing my own, but it's such a pain. I ordered these things called baby foot packs after reading about them last week and I'm going to try it this weekend. www.amazon.com/Baby-Foot-Easy-Pack-1-2/dp/B00461F4PAMine were 2 for like $14 on ebay, but the package is entirely in Chinese. Hopefully my feet won't melt off when I try it.

Color, cut, blow out, eye brow wax, and pedicure is $87 including tip. And I go to one of the "expensive" salons in the area. LCOLA, baby!! Holy mother!!! My last trip to the salon was a haircut and root touch up to the tune of $150. And they do nothing to my hair afterwards as my hair is curly and I air dry it. This week, I touched up my roots myself. $8!!! Sent from my Nexus 4 using proboards Just a touch up color around here is $150.00 - $200.00. Pedicure (without tip) $45.00. Other people's feet in the tub before mine - Gross!!! And I don't care if they pressure clean them with bleach. I'm just not a typical girl in that way (don't care for spa treatments and I also color my own hair) and prefer the privacy of my own home. It's peaceful, relaxing and nobody is running their mouths the entire time and I know my tools were cleaned properly. My friends are starting to see the wisdom in doing their hair themselves too. Hmmmm - $8.00 or $150.00-$200.00 and with usually a better result with the box color. We all can afford it but why? Did I mention I'm cheap?

At the nail/waxing place, manicure/pedicure is $37 and eyebrow waxes are $10. Prices are much higher at hair salons and spas around here. I love getting my hair done but I don't like people touching my feet so I've had 2 pedicures in my life.

Since I don't color my hair, wax or get manicures, I have no clue what the price is. I do get pedicures periodically, but haven't lately due to finances or time. The last time I routinely got pedicures was when I was pregnant with DD, who is now 2. It's hard to reach your toenails, let along trim them, while pregnant.

Pedicure, absolutely. Hot pink with white and silver flowers on big toes.
