Where I live, the pedicurists are Asian. My pedicures are just for cosmetic purposes, so my toes look nice in sandals. But my feet hurt constantly, especially my toes. Plus I don’t have a regular salon or person. There is one in every shopping center, so I just stop in when I’m out. It occurs to me that I should choose one salon and one person, like I do with my other cosmetic care (haircuts, facial). That way I won’t get one of the males who massages my legs by running his hands up and down my shins. I could pass out from pain! I sit there saying “ouch! “ and gesturing while he just smiles and nods his head.
I recently tried gel polish on my toes. Okay, removing it is torturous for someone with neuropathy. I had a ridiculous interaction with the pedicurist as she squeezed each toe and vigorously used the dremel tool and lots of rubbing to remove the polish. It’s really impossible to relay the amount of pain to someone without conversation. I just scarfed a Percocet from my purse and told myself to never get a gel pedicure again.
First World problems, right?
