Manicures and Pedicures

Hi all, just wondering the price of manicures and pedicures in doha. Are there cheap places that do a decent job? Also, how much would it cost to get my hair washed and blow dried (It's a constant effort to tame unruly curls). I've lived in countries where this service is ridiculously cheap and in countries where i wouldn't even consider getting it done. Are their cheap places that wash and blowdry? Anyone know the cost? Thanks.

For manicure in some cheap place you'd pay like 50-60QR

pedi, maybe 20QR more.

Blow dry with washing...I really don't know, perhaps something around 50-60QR.

But, you know, I don't recommend those cheap places.

Why?

1. They do not use good products and the second day your nail polish is already half gone.

2. They do not have proper machines for sterilizing their tools and I have actually noticed that they just put it for a very short while into some spirit. (in most of the countries that I know such place would be closed for this!)

3. You don't know what kind of crap you can get from this!

4.I did wash and dry once in such place, it felt like they wanted to burn my hair.

Unfortunately, beauty salons are expensive in here...even the poor quality ones...

If you're looking for a problem, you're probably gonna find one.
