Fancy treating yourself? To a £93 pedicure...! - 04-06-09, 10:24 PM

Just browsing a salon website and came across this.. a deluxe pedicure that includes callous peel and paraffin wax and a french polish... it's £93!!

Oh, if you want a colour rather than french it's only £90.

Wouldn't it be lovely to have clients that want to part with that kind of money for pretty feet?

Nicer still, to be able to afford to have it done

Oh my god! Was it in a really posh area? Yes that would be so nice to be able to afford it!
I worked at a hairdressers in Wimbledon Village when I left school and they charged £200 for a perm. This sort of money was nothing to these women.
I don't know though if I would pay that if I was loaded and could go and get the same for £30 somewhere else. xxx

It's in Reading town centre. Thames Valley is reasonably affluent but I wouldn't say posh. Henley, Marlow etc much more posh.

I wonder if anyone has it??

You can pay extra to have bio instead of polish...

If I was charging £90 for a pedicure I really don't think I'd have the nerve to charge extra for French LOL

I wonder if the poor therapist gets the minimum wage?

Who knows, maybe a Geek owns it and will tell us. As prices can vary massively across hair salons why shouldn't it be the same for a Nail Salon? The Hairdresser I go to charges double what the ones more local to me does, I still go back because I love the luxurious feel of the place, I always leave feeling like I had a real treat and although I have had great appointments at the local salons I just love the one I go to. 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.
