I have had a couple of pedicures in my life, and I did not mind it tickling me at all. But they never stay soft long and then I thought it makes sense I'm clinching, twitching, giggling etc, in other words preventing her/him from doing a good job. So I been doing my own feet for a while and I never had feet so soft for so long before, and it only takes me around 30 minutes. I am NOT saying never go get pedicures, thats crazy talk. I still do from time to time so they can trim and fix my toes, but I also maintain them myself. Just some advise for those of us who are a lil extra sensitive on the soles then others.
