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!

Order some Holy gels, they are gel stickers that you apply & bake under the LED lamp. No smudging & messing around, I can do a full set in under 20 minutes. When you want a change just apply cuticle cream & loosen the stickers with a cuticle stick. They don't damage your nails, I'm using them so I can grow my natural nails.

Yep £30 for hands and £35 for feet with a pedi here, so £65.

I pay £60 for BIAB fingers and gel toenails.

£30 for one or the other at my salon, £50 for both .

£26 for hands for me, and £40 for hands and feet last month. I did expect it to be more, so was delighted with that. No BIAB though. She said I didn’t really need it.
