Shiny toe nails

Anita forced me to go to this pedicure place with her yesterday at Santana row named Lavande Beauty Salon. I look around when we got there and noticed that I was the only guy at the whole store! So anyway, we were greeted and seated for our 3:15pm appointment. Since it's my first real pedicure treatment, I was quite nervous.



Moments later, this Vietnamese lady came and sat down right in front of my stinky feet. Then, she told me to put both my feet into this bowl of blue water with leaves, lemons and cucumbers. It was sorta weird. Why do you want to soak your feet into a tub of water filled with wild vegetables?

Anywhoo, after a few seconds she tapped on my right leg. I looked up with the "what's up?" look. She tapped my right leg again, and this time I looked at her with the WTF look. Eventually I think she got frustrated and just grabbed my leg out of the tub of water and began cutting my nails!

To make the long story short, it was a pretty pleasant experience. She cut, filed and cleaned my nails. After that she put some kind of scrubbing material (it looked like a plate of chopped up ginger) on my legs and began exfoliating my skin. Afterwards, she put this white lotion on my legs and began massaging them. "feel good?" she asked. At that point my body was in this state of joy that all I could do was nod my head up and down.

I thought the treatment was over by the time the lotion was applied to my legs. Oh boy was I wrong! She started going "bumping? bumping?" and I was like HUH. "bumping! bumping!?" and I was sooooooooo lost. I reached out to Anita on my right trying to see if she knew what the lady wanted to do to my feet and Anita was like "Oooh! I think she is asking if you want to get your nails painted!" and I went "noooooooooooooooo!" The lady said this time "No! BUFFIING! BUFFING! clear! TRY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and i was like OK OK FINE!!!!

She then went away and came back with this piece of object that looks kinda like a whiteboard eraser and began rubbing it back and forth against the surface of my nails. It created this really really squeeky noise that was pretty disturbing. I think at some point the noise actually made me pass out. Anyway, I opened up my eyes after it was all done and noticed that my nails were all SUPER SHINY! So shiny that it looked as if she'd put a clear coat of nail polish on them!

I am a little bit embarassed by it and so I am not wearing sandals to work today. :) Hee hee!

Will I go back for more? Hell yeah I will! I think I'm addicted to it now!
