Today, I decided to treat myself to a pedicure ahead of my cousin's wedding. The woman doing my nails asked if I wanted my toe hairs trimmed. I was so taken aback and embarrassed that I said yes. They charged me extra. FML

Today, I was getting a pedicure, and they used some sort of scrubby thing that really tickled my feet. When I couldn't take it any more, I accidentally kicked the lady who was doing my nails in the face. FML

Today, as I was getting my nails done at a salon, the owner pulled my head back against the chair in front of all the customers and began to tweeze my eyebrows. When I exclaimed that I didn't pay for that service, she replied, "I don't care. This needs done." FML

Today, I went to get a pedicure for the first time. My feet are VERY ticklish. I reflexively kicked the poor lady in the face, as I wet my pants. FML

Today, I went to get my nails done for the first time in a while. I don't like to go that much because two of my toes are connected, and I'm very self-conscious about it. The man painting my toes started laughing when he saw them and called all the other employees over to look. FML

Today, I didn't mind paying a little bit extra for my manicure because I forgot how nice it was to have someone hold your hand. Even if it was an old Asian lady. FML

Bad choice

Today, I went to a different hairdresser than usual to get 5 inches off my hair and bangs. He ended up charging me half price, saying, "Don't worry, we all make mistakes." FML

Today, I got my eyebrows waxed. The lady who waxed my eyebrows also decided to pop the big zit on my forehead. She charged me a dollar extra. FML

Today, my friend and I decided to get bikini waxes. Afterwards, the women who did the waxing told my friend it was $30 for her wax. Then, in front of the whole salon, the women points at me and says, "You! You so hairy- $35!". FML

Today, I got fed up with the amount of hair on my feet, so I went to get my foot hair waxed off. When I removed my socks, the waxer laughed the amount of foot hair. I'm a 18 year old female and it appears I have feet that were last seen on Big Foot. FML

Today, my therapist told me that I need to do something different with my hair. Then I paid her. FML

No shame in having a little toe hair! I let them cut mine too when I get my pedi, but they don't charge me extra! That is a little much! Enjoy your pretty toes OP!

Everyone has toe hair OP. Nothing to be ashamed of.

Especially since they should have let OP know that they would charge extra for it!

Yes, pretty much everyone has some toe hair, mine is black like my hair on my head! Don't be insecure, let it be trimmed and it's no big deal:) But that is kinda unusual to have that be an extra charge!

They asked if she wanted an extra service, she said yes, they charged her for the extra service. Where's the problem?

They always do that at beauty salons. They ask you like it's free when it's not. That's why you should always ask the price before saying yes.

I meant that trimming toe hairs doesn't seem like a usual service (given the OP's reaction)

I was tricked at a strip club like that once. "Hey, want a lap dance?" "Umm, sure." -gives me two, & when finished says- "40$ bucks a pop" Then again, my naïveté may have gotten the best of me. I thought she liked me.

I think it might just be a standard option with the pedicure, not the beautician remarking on how hairy OP's toes are.

#41, I never said the beautician said OP had hairy toes. I said the OP thought the beautician said she had hairy toes. Damnit Kim, get your shit together.

Shave

I think everyone has toe hair... I do. But I shave it. I'm surprised they charged you extra. So FYL for the extra charge. But I wouldn't worry about the toe hair. It's normal. Just shave it when you shave your legs.

I can picture my chopped off toe after I attempted to shave it. *shudders* I suck at shaving non-smooth places. The tops of my knees always have peach-fuzz cause I'm too scared I'm gonna end up cutting myself and bleeding to death.

Spend more than $1 on a razor and you won't have that problem!

47 shaving your knees with them bent fully stretches out the skin and makes it easier to shave. Shaving with your leg extended is difficult.

Is this really common to have hairy feet? My husband has a little but I didn't think girls do.... Thank god I'm descendent of Sweden and Germany my fine ultra light thin hair wins again!

Everyone has a little peachfuzz! They should have told you that it was extra. I don't think nail salons have any legal right to have trimmers or anything though?
