How To Get A Cheap And Lasting Mani And Pedi

My friend loved doing nails so much that she decided to go to nail tech school and get a license to do this, so I started to go see her every other week at the cosmetology school to get my nails done.

Ladies, this is the best way to get an inexpensive and lasting manicure and pedicure. The services at the local cosmetology school here are $6. SIX. DOLLARS. for a mani or pedi. That’s less than a fast food meal! They are students, and they have teachers there to supervise and inspect, but really, what can go wrong? It’s just polish. If they mess up, they can remove it.

This is a fantastic way to pamper yourself and get a little self-care in. Gel polish is pretty indestructible and will last until you take it off. Even if you go twice a month that’s only $12 (plus tip)!! That even includes nail art. At a salon, you could spend $12 on nail art alone. 

The students are always looking for hand models (aka a live person to work on) because they have to practice and pass off their skills to graduate. If you have acrylic nails, they do those, too.
