Fancy treating yourself? To a £93 pedicure...!

[Zo Zo]

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 :lol:

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

PMSL book us both in Zoe and sod it, we will have the french polish :hug:

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...

:lol:

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?

 

[Zo Zo]

:lol:

OK, that rhinestone will be an extra fiver.

We might get charged for our coffees too.

 

[Violet Star]

To be honest even if i could afford it i wouldnt have it done!

Can do it myself

 

[fifitrix]

Stuff it, I will treat all the geeks to one! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hell it better be good coffee :lol:

 

[marioned]

The state of my feet right now, it would be worth £90!!

 

[Beautification]

and i bet it would be no different to one we all provide for clients now, i don't even know how they can actuallycharge that less there using products with 24ct gold in.

 

[joe90]

Hell fire, I would want my lunch for that aswell as a glass or three of champagne lol.

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.
:hug:

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.

 

[Zo Zo]

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!

 

[FlawlessBeauty]

£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
