Pedicure price?

gaeilgegrinds1

I need a pedicure, dry skin etc, a proper one now where they do some work. Rang three places, cheapest was €45, does that seem ludicrious to anyone else? Any advice on somewhere that might be more resaonable or any deals?

No it doesn't seem ludicrous but,
have you considered walking barefoot in the sand at the beach? its free.

That's the thing you see, I often do that but just seems they are worse this year than ever before. Have significantly upped my running so that's probably why.

Galway city -> Footie beauty.

But it's about Galway?!!

Anyone have any recommendations? Feel free to PM me too. Cheers. I've heard people talking about some Polish place? Any Polish ladies on here care to recommend someone?

Beauty is nationwide.

Shakti

bizarre,
maybe you should have said Galway in the thread title OP although the fact that you posted it in the Galway City forum would suggest and certainly did to me that you were enquiring on the going rate for a pedicure in Galway not taking a survey on competing prices nationwide,
although if you do find a suitable pedicure elsewhere in the country I'm sure a thread on what route to take out of the city or whats the best bus will be deemed eminently suitable to the Galway City forum.

Hmm, the OP asked about price of pedicure and the first response was an alternative method of pedicure, not a suggestion about a salon in Galway.
Often specialist threads turns quickly to the topic at hand, pedicure, rather than the location.

OP, perhaps fish pedicure? Seems to be a tenner.

Thanks Biko for pointing out then that a beach is indeed not a podiatrist salon, were would we be without such edifying and illuminating insights,
As cost was a main factor of the OP I suggested a free of charge walk along a beach, presumably a Galway beach (considering the OPs' location) in ones bare-feet as it has the potential to provide relief from dry skin on ones feet due to the gentle abrasive action of the sand against ones skin, a point not lost on the OP by their own admission but alas a recourse that in the past has proved inadequate in efficacy to the OP's requirements. Perhaps they will have more luck with your fish,
Had I suggested tea tree would you have moved the thread to 'Farming & Forestry'? or maybe to take the car more instead of walking/running would they have then found themselves in the 'Motors' forum?
I think we both know that the OP was looking to compare prices in thier area and to garner local experience and opinions of service/price/quality and establish an estimated average charge for such services, I may be wrong in which case the 'Beauty' is a delightful destination.

Twee.

I think €45 is the average price for a pedicure, at least in all the places I've seen.

They do a really good medi-pedi in tantastic upstairs in Corbett Court. Not sure of the price, but keep an eye on their monthly deals and you might get one on offer.

I pay €28 for a spa pedicure which is enough to pay. Im guessing from the other threads you're in Galway?

A recommendation which works for dry skin is if you go to holland and barrett or one of those shops and get tea tree soap and a lotion with tea tree. Wash your feet after you run with the soap and then put the lotion on, it does wonders for your feet.
My husband had really dry feet cracking and all and now does this and he says its like a new pair of feet. (if theyre really bad use a pumice stone too)
It's an awful lot cheaper than the €45 you've been quoted and its works long term.
