I paid £33 and was in and out in less than 20 minutes. I decided to carry on myself as I can reach my toes fine and have a good professional nail clipper. I do it, when needed, after my shower when my nails are a bit softer, A bit of oil afterwards and I have saved £33, certainly saved enough so far to pay for for my new fabric stash

I agree re podiatrist v standard nail care, I saw a podiatrist once, no comparison, that man knew what he was doing, tested foot pulse etc Nail care is just nails, hard skin and oil

I've never heard of that - ie "test foot pulse". How do they do that and what is the purpose of it please?

You can feel the pulse on the instep of the foot. You can take it with your fingers as you would a radial pulse. It can be a bit tricky to feel though. I guess he does it to check blood flow to the feet.

I have a pedicure every four to five weeks and costs £40 for nail cutting and application of gel polish. All hard skin removed. Worth every penny. I fnd it difficult to cut my nails now so a real treat

If you are diabetic you get a foot pulse check to make sure the circulation in your feet it good.

I go to a podiatrist who cuts my toenails, trims the cuticles, rubs cream in. He would treat corns, hard skin etc but I don’t have those! I now pay £27, and see him every 5 weeks or so.

Anywhere between £30 to £40 is the going rate in Bristol.

I go to a local beauty salon & get a pedicure. Costs me £24 for foot soak, file, various scrubs and creams, toe nails cut and cuticles trimmed and nail varnish. Great value.

Would not advise diy Box especially if you have trouble reaching one foot.
I ended up with dreadful infections and needed an expensive and painful operation to remove the nail and root on each side.
Coukdnt get it done on the nhs as I don’t have diabetes and it took ages to heal.
Not worth the risk.

£25 in Shropshire/Staffs border. Nails clipped - sanded and creamed.
My biggest problem is that I hate it, because of highly sensitive feet that tingle and twitch when touched. The poor girl is aware of this and narrowly misses being kicked in the teeth when my feet jump at her.
Has anyone any tips for a diy job when one foot is very hard to reach?

I have a lovely podiatrist and have been going to her for almost thirty years. Current cost is £48 and it takes around 30 minutes. I go every six weeks, and need to book two appointments ahead, as she is very busy.

£28 for cut and filing with a drill type of thing, a brisk rub with a large emery board for hard skin, and some moisturiser every 6 weeks.

This is Mud Norfolk.

Lady who does my finger nails cant cope with my bent mishapen toes, I think she would rather I kept them in my shoes away from her sight.

Lady next to me at Nail Shop had toe nails cut by lovely lad for £12. She only had £8, he just said “That’s ok!” That’s in London.

Big Bucks in fact!!

I’m in Bucks where everything seems more expensive.

I have a great podiatrist who up until recently charged £35 per session and then upped it to £45 😳 Can’t fault his expertise so will continue seeing him every 6 weeks.

That's a lot!!

£55 for about 15 minutes - Herts/Bucks borders!!!

It looks as though the service I am getting is about par for the course pricewise. I will pay up - and be grateful for it!

My pedicures are a real treat. My feet feel and look great afterwards and the lady is so nice. It's always a pleasure to hear her news. She obviously provides a very popular service as other customers are always popping in to make appointments and are very chatty too. A monthly highlight for me!

We pay £25 each. We have a lovely chat about our families and generally put the world to rights, it takes about an hour for both of us.

Ours cuts and files our nails, sands any rough skin (I love this) and massages our feet.

You could have a pedicure for £35, with pretty coloured toenails. 😊

We can self refer to an NHS podiatrist/chiropdist via our GP surgery but "not being able to reach your feet" is not sufficient grounds...!!? It took me a wee while to work out that if I added osteo-arthritis in neck, hands and hip plus waiting list for hip replacement....arteriosclerosis (necessitating 3 cardiac stents?....and major damage to big toe nail leading to athlete's foot following it's having been torn off by accident by matelot's boot when I worked for the RN..... I might get free appointments....time will tell!

I'm fortunate to deal with my own toe nails but occasionally I have a chiropodist pop in to ensure all is well as I have had blood flow problems and need occasional check ups. I've forgotten the cost but it was under £35 and worth every penny.

I pay £50 every six or seven weeks for a podiatrist. Where I used to live podiatry was available on the NHS but not here.
I think you should expect to pay more for a professionally qualified medical person i.e. a podiatrist than a pedicurist.

I have been paying £54 to have my nails cut smetimes only 20 minute appointment. It’s an hour drive plus parking charge once there.
I dud some checks more locally and found most charge around £ 38 so reluctantly as I like my man, will try the local option next time my nails click across the kitchen floor and maybe get them done more frequently.
