Toe nails

No, I don't have an odd fetish, my doctor told me I should have my toe nails done by a professional a few times a year. I am not really a mani-pedi type guy, but looking around Amarillo, if there is a strip mall there is a nail place. So how do I pick one? Close to home? Far from home so I won't be recognized? Are there ratings? Are there any that offer "extras"? Topless toenail trimming could be dangerous I suppose.

First, ask your female friends where they get theirs.
Second, get the basic pedi-cure package, unless you want to spend $60 on your visit.
Third, why are you are worried about getting recognized? If you are on a watchlist, then you may some issues.
Fourth, no extras are going to happen.

paradise nails & spa is a really good place...it's off of Ross and Osage. I love it there ! There's a new place off of i-40 and Washington in a "strip" of business I have yet to try...but it looks promising. Unfortunately at nails salons , the only thing getting some cut is your toenails.. hope that helps?!

Oldpun, what's the benefit to gettin your toenails done professionally? I'm mean......damn

One of these days I am going to quit chasing kids off my lawn and learn how to use the little smiley face things to let people know when I am just joking. But not today.
Of course I might have been remembering this review.

As to why my doc recommended pedicures, I am diabetic. Foot sores can be a problem and badly cut toenails can lead to foot sores. I see a podiatrist once a year and that is covered by insurance. Other than that it's pay as I go.

Thanks to all that have responded here and in pms. I am going to bite the bullet and go today I will let you know what happens.

WOW. OP just HAD to bring up my old review of that crappy place. lol UGH. What a trip...
So how did your trip to the Foot Folks go? Will you be posting pics of your pretty toes?
And I can laugh because I'm due for a pedicure myself. lol

Well I went to a place and got things done. It is a fairly new place in the United Shopping center at 45th and Bell. I went about 3:30 in the afternoon so not exactly peak time. I walked in and there were 7 Vietnamese women at a bar in the back ranging in age from late middle age to ancient. At the desk was a young Vietnamese girl that spoke perfect English. I don't exactly speak Vietnamese, but can kind of get the gist if I concentrate and the ladies in the back were hoping I could pay. Told the girl at the desk I wanted a pedicure. I was the only customer in the place. She led me to a chair about halfway back and called one of the other ladies up to do the pedicure. The young lady asked if I wanted a manicure too and I said no, she said too bad because that is what she did. So I changed my mind just to have someone to talk to. I chose the base package with no color and things went alright.
EXCEPT
The girl cut off my thumbnails. I use my thumbnails as a cutting device. I am afraid it will be some time before I can sell Copenhagen comfortably.

Yep, you'll be going back. lol Glad to hear you stepped out of your comfort zone. Just think of how much money you'll save by not ripping the sheets to shreds now.
