First world problem!! Pedicures.

I'm getting a pedicure today with my friends. I get like one a year. It's really not my thing but we are all on break and wanted to get together and do something girly.

Here is the problem: I DO NOT want my calluses cut off, nor do I want my feet scrubbed. I'll have to make sure they do not do this. These calluses were well earned!

Isn't this lame that this is what is going through my mind today?

Re: First world problem!! Pedicures.

  • I'm with you. I tell them not to cut/rub them off. They do a very light scrubbing and just massage my feet (which feels ah.may.zing.)

  • Just tell them you'd like the massage and toenail stuff done, but no scrubbing. 

    I hate pedicures. I think I'm the only person on earth, but I do not find them relaxing or fun! Haha. 

  • I tell them the same thing but they always ignore me.  They must be like - crazy girl doesn't know what she's talking about!

  • I don't mind the srubbing because it doesn't really take very much off, but I do tell them I need those calluses! And if they get out the scrapy thing for them I lift my feet away and remind them.  Although the last time I asked to keep the caluses the lady replied, "oh you're a runner!' Which is awesome!

     I'm also jealous.  I'm in desperate need of a pedicure!

  • They always ask me if I want to pay extra to remove my calluses. The one time I agreed the lady busted out what looked like a cheese grater. The scrubbing won't take much off. I never really considered needing the callouses though. It just always seems useless since they come right back.

  • Last time I went for a pedicure I asked her not to take my calluses off...which I think she heard as "take my calluses off" because the next thing I knew she was dumping a bottle of stuff labeled callus remover all over my feet.  I was NOT a happy camper!
