AIBU to think £70 for gel nails is quite expensive?

To think £70 for gel nails (hands and feet) is a LOT (or am I being really tight?). I have wedding next week and with the heatwave I thought I'd treat myself to getting my nails done and my poor feet are in need of a bit of attention. I've just been quoted £70 and I am a bit shocked!

Totally normal
For both it would be £80 for me

Sounds like it’s at the cheaper end for round here considering that’s a manicure and a pedicure.
i do my hands myself because I change colours about twice a week, use seche vite and it dries almost instantly, I do it when I’m in bed and it never budges.
I pay for a pedicure before I go on holiday and it lasts for bloody ages (I generally just let it grow out because I don’t really get my feet out here!) and it’s £54 just for a pedicure.

Sounds about right for hands and feet. It’s about £40 for hands only round here.

I pay £40 for biab so £70 for toes too seems about right.

I pay £30 for BIAB, hands only.
