How often do you get a pedi?

151949 — Tue, 30 Jan 2018 12:19:08 GMT

I always have done my own toenails but due to a recent back injury I can't really reach them now. I went yesterday for a pedi and the girl said I should get one every 2 weeks. If I get my nails cut at the podiatrist they say every 9 weeks. So I wonder how soon I should make my next appt. for a pedi? i get my hair cut every 5 to 6 weeks so I was thinking about the same.

I get the complete pedi every 4 weeks. If you got your toenails painted they will need done about every 4 weeks. If not I would get your pedi when you get a haircut.

I'm in my 40's and I've never had one. I've always wondered what I'm missing.....

It depends how fast your nails grow but every 4 weeks should work. I found 4-5 weeks work for me. Every 2 weeks is too soon ... sounds like your nail tech is trying to drum up some business for herself!

I give myself pedis about every 2 months, and they do last that long. Love Sally Hanson’s formulas. I spend next to nothing and my feet always look good!

I think 5 or 6 weeks is a good range. Try it. I get a pedicure around 3 or 4 times a year. I take the polish off and cut the nails around 5 weeks. The polish is usually still perfect, but I can see some growth.

I go every 4 weeks, and when it's sandal weather, I often get a polish change at the 2 week mark.

@Catlady Nicole I am in my 60 s and I have never had mani or pedi so I guess I have saved a lot of money..I will always think of that service as a luxury.

I go every three weeks as I also get a manicure as well. I use the weekly gel polish which actually stay on and does not chip or fade. The salon I go to charges an extra $2 for this (its not the gel polish which has to be soaked off). I think once you get use to having pedicures it can be addictive. I think you could go four weeks.

I have a gel manicure every 2 weeks and a pedicure every 4 weeks in the warm weather. During the winter I do my own pedi's. It really is a nice luxury though to have someone else do it for you. I think the salons do a nicer job than I do. I do not wear toenail polish in the winter. It's important to let your nails breathe, even my mani's I will skip a month once a year or so to do just that.

I get a mani every two weeks and Mar-Oct i get my pedi at the same time. During the winter I do not get a pedi and keep the polish off my toes. I keep my feet nice, just not at the salon. I agree with your tech, every two weeks when toes are showing! It is more than the polish, heels need to be done as well as cuticles etc.

I used to love Pedis but lately, I am too ticklish. I find them very hard to endure!

Once a month. Not necessary to go more often than that. You can always get a color change if that's what you want.

I get a pedi 4-5 times/year. I maintain it in between. Most often get a pedi in warm weather, when toes and feet are on display.

Get a mani once or twice a month. Also maintain on my own in between salon visits.

I get my nails done but I do my own pedicure at home. I don't find getting a pedicure enjoyable. On top of that, I won't go to a place where you sit in a big chair and put your feet in the attached tub that has the jets. I don't trust those to be sanitized properly.

During the winter months I generally let my toes go without polish to give them a break.
