Why do you prefer to spend money at a nail salon as opposed to saving money and giving yourself a mani/pedi at home?

I’m right handed, so my right hand manicure never comes out as good because I have to do it with my left.
1) I suck at doing my own nails. I can afford to have it as my fought nightly treat so I do. If there is a time I can’t afford it, I don’t.
2) it’s nice to be pampered a little
3) nails are hard lol
Having you ever tried to give yourself a mani/pedi? If I’m going to have painted nails I’d rather not have them look like a 2 year old did it
It’s not the act of getting your nails done so much as it’s the act of allowing yourself to be pampered much like getting a massage or going to the spa. Yes, you could rub lotion on yourself or go relax in the bathtub at home to save money but it’s just not the same.
I dont. And i dont do my nails at home either. I couldn’t give two shits what my nails look like. Im not wasting time or money on them.
I am not remotely as talented as a trained manicurist. I can’t paint straight. I’m 5 ft tall with short arms and can barely reach my toes. I don’t have a spa foot bath or a UV LED lamp. I have zero ability at nail art. And most importantly, a single bottle of OPI is $13; add in top coat and oil and it gets pricey fast. I pay $20 for a manicure and $30 for a pedicure twice a month with unlimited color and art choices. That’s a steal.

Because I save my money in other ways. I allow myself certain splurges. A pedicure is one of those.
i would pay for something that i couldn’t do myself and to feel good but since i’m trying to improve my work, i’ve been doing my sets myself.
Really? DOING THINGS *YOURSELF?* HA!
I can’t do acrylics and I also can’t reach my toes over my fupa
I’ve done it myself for over 20 years until a friend took me for a pedicure…. They have the most amazing massage chairs I’ve ever encountered. Don’t care about the pedicure, I pay for this seat!
It’s mostly because after all I do for my family (I am a mother of 6 and my husband…it’s almost like caring for another child), I love to relax and feel pampered for an hour or so every two weeks. I deserve this!!!
