I always shave because hair skeeves me but I'm sure they have seen some hairy legs in their days and probably a lot worse things also! I say go for it

No, go. It's fine, a little stubble compared to some funky feet that I have seen in the nail salons is probably better LoL And shaving right before a pedicure opens you to the possibility of infection if you have little nicks in your skin.

Re: is it bad to get a pedicure with some stubble?
I never shave before bc you can get an infection ACTUALLY, what I LOOOVE to do is not shave for a few days, then get the scrub and lotion and then shave when I go home and I get the BEST shave
I always just kind of say sorry, i didnt shave and the girl says OH! its not bad (even when it is LOL)
I mean whats the big deal? She feels hair legs? She has to massage them not rub her face on them! LOL
ETA to add LOL bc my above statement sounded hostile!!

Re: is it bad to get a pedicure with some stubble?
I'm laughing as I read this, because I wanted to get a pedi during lunch today and realized I didn't shave my legs this morning. I can't go with stubble. There's always tomorrow, IF I remember to shave.

This is what I've always heard. Plus, if your skin is sensitive to any of their lotions it will not be as bad if you have not shaven. I like to try new treatments but I never know when I will have a reaction. A friend told me to try not shaving first so I can try more of their products & see. That said, sometimes I get a pedicure without having fully planned out my day so in that case I just go when I have shaved.

I wish I could go for a pedi with stubble becuase soooo many times I'll want to get one but won't becuase I didn't shave that am. I'm just too embarrassed to go like that, I feel like it's somehow rude.

men get pedicures and their legs are usually way hairier than ours are after a couple days without shaving, and they often have way grosser feet!

Re: is it bad to get a pedicure with some stubble?
I once went for a pedi and realized after I made the appointment that I didn't shave in ... maybe a week? (it was winter ) Well, I almost was tempted to cancel my appt but figured whatever ..... they have seen leg hair before.
I went, and the person takes one look at my legs and says, "Ohhh you shave?" I was SO mortified!! I was like .. "Umm, usually!" ... Oh, and of course the ladies sitting near me who heard this had to look over to check out the lady with the hairy legs, as though they had never seen one before
I never went with hairy legs EVER again!! .. That said, 2 days is not bad at all.

This is exactly the reason why I can't go with hairy legs. Those women are sometimes not the most discreet when it comes to stuff. They like to yell things out like- OH you NEED an eyebrow wax! OH you need a lip wax! Then everyone turns to look! And my leg hair grows so fast and thick you can grate cheese on my knees after 2 days. So I just can't do it!
