Getting a pedicure for the first time and now I regret it

So I’m in my twenties and I’ve never gotten a pedicure before. I come to the nail salon, but only to get my eyebrows done. I haven’t engaged before because I’ve always been embarrassed of my big feet and I didn’t know how to ask for the pedicure. I finally decided to go for it today since my bday is tomorrow and I’m literally burning right now. I came in, everyone looked at me then I just sat down. A lady finally came 2 mins later and asked me what I wanted. I said “pedicure and eyebrows” and was relieved. However I forget I had to raise my pants leg up which is a problem since I didn’t shave my legs!! I feel like they said something about my hairy legs but obviously I don’t know for sure. Now I’m sitting here panicking, ready for this to be over with. I might not ever come back, even to get my brows down. I keep trying to lower my pants leg so they’re less exposed. A guy was sitting to the left of me and I know he saw it which is making me even more insecure. I just want this to be over with 😭😭😭

I wouldn’t even be able to step foot in a place like that and I’ve been wanting to get my eye brows done for years!

It’s horrible. For eyebrows I’ve to say “eyebrows” when I walk in and everything usually happens fast. It’s one of the few features I’m proud of so I like when they’re done

Given that it takes me about 6 months to pluck up the courage to book a haircut this isn’t happening anytime soon

You’ll do it when you’re ready :)). If it makes you feel better, I heard they’re less judgmental about brows

Just the fact you did it at all is good so be sure you remember that. A lot of us couldn't go that far. If you are in the northern hemisphere and in a chilly area I am sure that it isn't uncommon - most folks I know don't shave their legs in winter as often - I know I don't- and so they probably just thought that. And it is more common now to not shave ever by choice. Now would any of this make me feel better to know - nope - but hopefully it helps you a bit to know and if not hopefully it at least helps to know you aren't alone in feing uncomfortable and are much braver than some of us.

Yea I’m trying to rationalize it by saying I can’t be the first women to be hairy while getting a pedi. Yours is a good perspective!
