Over in our business section, Times staffer Andrea Chang checks in to see how long the wait is at local beauty salons. We learn that walk-ins are more than welcome. She chats with 28-year-old Santa Monica resident Katie McCranie, who describes how she’s cutting back on beauty treatments:
‘I do everything myself -- I’ve been doing my own hair, painting my own toenails,’ she said. Instead of getting a leg wax, ‘I just went back to the razor.’
Are you DIY’ing your manis and pedis this holiday season? (If so, here are some tips). Or are you going all out, perhaps hoping it’ll be a sign for more nail salon visits to come for 2010?
