Beauty of a Deal
Seven-year-old Adrienne O'Shea, left, enjoyed her first pedicure with her mother Natalie O'Shea at Red Nails. "This is a treat," said Natalie O'Shea, who only gets a pedicure a few times a year. The two were on a mother/daughter outing.
Life's little luxuries -- manicures, massages and facials -- can seem costly when both a gallon of gas and a gallon of milk cost nearly $4. Don't be glum. Get glam for less.
At Red Nail salon in St. Paul, Erin Schumann spent $30 for a pedicure in a whirlpool massage chair. At full-service salons she'd spend nearly twice that, but Schumann can't see spending the extra money.
"There's not much difference between a full-service salon and what's done here," she said.
