Naive question about nail bars

[squashyhat]

I have never been in a nail bar. Do they do toenails? As in cut/file and apply polish?

Our local nail bar does everything from full pedicure to file and paid t.

Most will do what you want within reason.

For feet, most will offer a full pedicure where they soak feet, file off hard skin, cut and file toenails and apply polish. But if you just want a nail trim and polish change, most will accommodate that, too, I find.

I prefer the walk-in places to the proper beauty salons, to be honest. They are quicker and more efficient in my experience

Thanks. My toenails (especially on the big toes) are like hooves and I find them very difficult to cut properly. And when I apply polish more goes on the toes themselves than the nails! I may pay my local one a visit next week.

I always have a tonailmshape and polish rather than a full pedi as I find pedicures too tickly. And I agree with SoFancy, you normally get a better service from a dedicated nail bar than a general beauty salon but avoid ones full of women who don't speak much English. Ask around locally to find somewhere where you can be sure the staff are being payed a fair wage.

Can I hijack as another novice to this and ask if it's ok to bring your own polish for a pedicure? I need to get my toes done for an upcoming holiday but am getting angst about it! I have a polish which is the perfect red and want to top it up on a 2 week holiday

I’m sure that will be fine!
