I've been going there for 16 years when I can get there, their prices have steadily risen but I just feel that they are fab and stay with them. If that Salon is charging that for luxury pedicures and can get it good luck to them. For that price I hope it really is very luxurious in the Salon but if its working for them that is fantastic.

I know what you mean Min, the salon where I go for my hair cut is more expensive (not by a massive amount) than anywhere else in my town, plus I think I pay a bit more because I have the salon owner/top stylist do my hair. But it is really worth it, the cut and finish is always fab, they do free fringe trims inbetween appointments, beverages and chocolate/sweet complimentary and as soon as you walk through the door they know your name and really look after you. Also with me I hav'nt to get water in my ears because of perforated eardrums and I have never had to remind them.

But, £93 for a pedicure is a bit ridiculous in my mind, but if they are busy like you said good luck to them, I just hope the therapist is being paid accordingly as already mentioned.

whilst i woulnt actually pay that much for a pedicure i would love to earn that much for doing them.
i like to think i do a great pedi , but i think i could step up my service even more at that cost.

I don't know if the salon is busy or not but when I walk past, there is never anyone in there. BUT it may just be coincidence that I always walk by at a quiet time. I do agree though, that if people pay, good luck to them!

When you consider the hourly rate they want to charge their therapists out at, and the products used, I can see how they've arrived at that figure. Just don't think I would pay it.

Waxing for me probably brings me my best hourly rate. Pedicures not so good. BUT I like to keep my pedicures affordable so clients keep them up all year round. If I was set on making £40-£50 ph, then I would defo have to put manicures and pedicures up!

£93? Bargain, i'll have two lol.

There's a salon near me that charges £18 for a brow wax which i think is rather steep. They always seem to have a lot of staff hanging around the reception area so i don't think they are too busy.

I was wanting to book a paraffin (grr can never spell that) mani and pedi today and was somewhat alarmed to find that that was £85 so to pay just that for a pedi? Oh no no no
