Girls who have been to the salon: What is the procedure to get a manicure/pedicure?

I want to go to a salon, but I am afraid I will look like an idiot if I don' t know exeactly what to do. Do they operate the machines for you?(Like I say people drying thier hands.) Also do they tell you every step or like they are like go over there. Do the people there try to have a conversation with you? How long does a average manicure take? A pedicure? How much money does it cost to have a solid color for a manicure? For a pedicure? How much is a design? Do the prices vary, like how the design looks like or what toe it is on, or what nail it is on? Please take some time to answer this question. This is a really important issue.

It all varies depending on where you go. It usually will take an hour, maybe an hour and a half for either one. Some of the people will talk to you and others wont. They feed off of you. If you wanna talk, they will talk!. If you have not been into their shop, they will usually tell you where to go and what to do. Everyone has a first time. The pricing always depends on where you go. Call over the phone to a few places and just ask, that way you don't have to walk in and panic if it's too expensive for you! Designs are extra, usually $3-$5 extra per design, depending on how extravagant it is. Just ask the people there if you are unsure about where to place the design. Usually for the feet, its on the big toe. The hand is a little different, more personal preference than anything. Take a friend along with you to be less nervous! Good luck, it's so relaxing you'll be going back all the time after the first!Girls who have been to the salon: What is the procedure to get a manicure/pedicure?
