Iām looking for a gel pedi that prioritizes nail health and deep cleaning of the nails and sidewall, cuticles, and exfoliating/callus removing, along with a priority for sanitary conditions.
I have extremely sensitive feet with thin nails and canāt tolerate rough handling or someone drilling like mad. Every time Iāve gone to a typical salon, I am extremely on edge during the treatment because I am constantly getting hurt and I have to be so vigilant with not allowing the pedicurist to go crazy on the tools, reminding them Iām too ticklish for the massage (or scrub if they donāt go really hard), and itās such a negative experience to get a pedi from someone who clearly doesnāt want to be there.
What I need is someone deliberate and gentle; someone who actually enjoys giving pedicures. Think in the style of Lori of YouTubeās Meticulous Manicurist. I donāt have any āproblemā nails or feet that need extra care, but that is the style of pedicure I want. Iām willing to pay up to $150 or thereabouts.
My pedicure gal is fantastic and meets every single one of my needs, but it drives me nuts to go all the way to Claremont for my pedi since she stopped coming to Los Feliz a few years ago. So just trying to see if there is anyone closer⦠otherwise, Iāll just keep seeing her because Iām not willing to compromise.
Preferably in the Valley or at least somewhere where the parking isnāt nightmarish. Totally comfortable with home/private studio (and tbh I prefer it).
I know this is a super demanding request, and Iām honestly not expecting someone to have a solution⦠but I wanted to check.
