Do I need to prep my feet for a pedicure?

[Deleted]

I wouldn't. But that may be why they give me such weird looks every time I go in.

[sake]

i don't do that. i only cut my toenails first, bc they don't do them short enough.

[LLL]

Nope. Enjoy

[daisyheadmaizie]

Nope, I just go in gnarly dry, calloused feet, and all.

[beautifulfields12]

I prep my feet for a pedi. I am also a weirdo about people getting to close to them, so pedicures are not really my thing.

[Deleted]

I don't. I just tip well.

My girl normally brings out that saw thing on me. Lol.

Its Florida! I wear open shoes all the time. Therefore the feet are dry and calloused OK?

[SKP82]

Nope! Go and enjoy.

[fuckyourcouch]

hell no! that is the point of going!
this is like cleaning your house before the maid arrives.

[margotmacomber]

If so then I'm a fuck up.  My feet get so dry from constant flip flopping it that I feel sorry for anyone that needs to touch them, yet I'm paying out the ass so let the chips fall where they may.

[underwaterrhymes]

I've gotten a pedicure with 8 toenails.

I'm pretty sure callouses are okay.

[pursemeatballs]

Wouldn't that be like masturbating before you went to a prostitute?

ETA: Reading through the thread, I see that fuckyourcouch made a similar comparison. Although, hers was much more appropriate.

[snipsnsnails]

Ha, no, they'll just try to upswell you to the deluxe wax paraffin thingy that costs more $$$.

[marylennox]

I always go with my feet in their normal state, no prepping. I just tell myself they probably see feet that are much worse than mine on the regular. Hopefully it's true. (or maybe for their sake, that it's not true..)

[angelaa73]

omg! do you clean before the housekeeper comes over.??!!

LET THEM DO THEIR JOB

[aprilsails]

I usually remove my polish beforehand so they don't have to waste time on that and can spend more effort on removing the dry calloused crap.

Or washing your hair before getting a haircut (My husband does that. Dork.)

Which toenails were missing? Was it on the big toes? ARE YOU NO-NAILS???

Does he not understand that is the best part?!?!?!

[LynnWriter]

I take the polish off, but only so it doesn't take as long. I kind of hate people touching my feet.

[scorpion]

The only prep I do is to shave my legs right before. My disgusting feet don't embarrass me, but my perma-stubbled legs do.

[natsnow]

Just get the toe jam out. Everything else is extra.

Well.. I actually was going to hire a housekeeper once but never did because my house was too cluttered for anyone to clean around. lol

That's where I am right now.  And every time I clean, I think I can finally hire someone, but then it gets messy again.

[somersault72]

No, I just make sure my legs are shaved. My mom has some pretty rough callouses and they bust out the cheese grater on her.

[winnied]

No. My feet are gross. I danced for 15 years and then was a runner. IDGAF.

I do, however, bathe (you'd be surprised how many people don't...nasty), shave my legs, and keep up pleasant conversation if they want it.

Now that last statements sounds like a sexual encounter. Damn.

[Deleted]

Hell no...and trust, they will have seen far worse than your feet, I'm sure.

One of my big toenails and a smaller one on the other foot (can't remember which). Before I found running shoes with a comfy toe box, I was forever losing toenails during longer road races.

After my second marathon I lost SIX toenails.

I did not get a pedicure after that one. I didn't think they'd be willing to give me 60% off.
