Singular Subjects 'Coloured' men Jamaica Gleaner

The Soloist, Contributor

I have been away from the island for a few weeks, but I kept up with the Flair on this newspaper's website, so I laughed till I cried when I read about middle-aged men dyeing their hair for various reasons. It was laughable because as a child, I distinctly remember a few older men in our district, using Nugget shoe polish to darken their greying hair.

They had to cover their shirt collars when the heat of the sun made the polish run to unwanted places. It was even funnier that very often, the polish stuck to their scalp, making the process very obvious.

Can't hide it, guys

What most of these men still don't know today, is that even with modern advances in the manufacturing of dyes, people can tell when they have colour in their hair. So it makes no sense being so secretive. Yes, that applies to at least three popular men in the Jamaican music industry, a few politicians and some corporate movers who I run into

Bette takes a look at the latest clients to learn the joy of a professional pedicure -- men.

How many men actually get pedicures?

I do get a pedicures on a regular basis, because I do have trouble trying to clip my own toe nails. At times they are not clipped properly, and hang-nails or on my toe nails, which is not good. One gal who I know never heard of men getting pedicures, and thought it was strange men getting pedicures; therefore, how many men do get pedicures. Please do not think I am strange, I like to know if many men do get pedicures.


I get pedicures monthly. My wife suggested I try it a couple years ago, and I got hooked. What's not to like about someone else clipping your nails, and giving you a nice foot and lower leg massage. Completely 100% straight here, and not metro either!

The girl I go to says she has 6-7 men that are regulars.


My husband.... but I have to do it.... It's pretty common.


I'm seriously thinking of having one for the first time for the same reasons. My toes look so ugly. I don't care what people think of me as long as I'm sure of my sexuality besides they don't pay my bills ( & want to have a say in my life?) That is not goping to happen. Be yourself! So liberating.


I do, but I'm gay. I usually do mostly in the summer during flip flop season, cause I have a couple nails that aren't pretty. I've been prone to ingrown toenails too, so it helps prevent it.

Do women think it is weird if a man likes getting Manicures and Pedicures or do you like it?



i like it. i think that everyone should be able to get pampered in some way. some men work very hard and they deserve it! i also find it sexy that a man is confident enough to go into a nail salon and get a mani and pedi ;)


I dont think is it weird but i would want my man to get one


if ur meh dad, hellz yeah u get a manipedi!


yeah, i think it's weird if they go to the nail salon & get it done.
but if they just take care of their nails (clipping) at home, then it's fine.


Noo I don't like that! I know some men like to take care of their looks, but I don't know the way I see it manicures and pedicures are a girl thing. That's just my opinion.


yes it is a good thing to do


Going to a salon to get it done... ya kinda weird.

But girls still like to have a guy who takes care of their nails.. just by themselves and not at a salon~!


A weekly manicure is not unbearable for a man if he really needs it. For example, if he is an auto mechanic or works in a factory. Clean nails are a lot more attractive. A guy getting a pedicure every other month is not a bad thing either. Who wants to snuggle with a man with hobbit feet that have an inch of dead skin on the bottom of them?? yuck! I say, if a man keeps it simple and doesn't get these things done on a very strict schedule, then it's alright.


I really feel those things are meant for pretty women and not for handsome guys.
Guys rugged looks are only adorable, they must be neat but not so beauty conscious


If You Was My Dad I Would Be So embarrased And No I Think It Might Look Gay ?If I Saw A Man sat Der getting a manicure saying "i think im going to grow them abit longer , so you can do more with then next time" all i have to say is haaaa


I don't think it's weird at all. Business men tend to do this more because they need to look nice. Good grooming is never wrong.


I would think it was a bit weird.


No. What's wrong with pampering and taking care of yourself? Nothing!

When I worked at a spa, we had about 10% male clients, 90% female.


No, it being clean

How many women here would be willing to get a pedicure from a man?

Is it me or are there no male nail techs at salons?
How many of us would feel comfortable getting a pedicure from a man?


They are the best to do it because they do it with admiration and passion. I believe one of the best things ever is to make a woman feel satisfied, relaxed and happy.


I wouldn't have a problem with it if he was any good.


There are male nail techs at the salon I go to but they only do nails.I don't think I would mind them doing my pedicure but wouldn't trust them to wax my eyebrows.


usually they are better. i don't know why.


There are three male nail techs at my salon, heck they are better that the girls that do mine. I have no prob whatso ever. having a man at my feet, pampering me no less are you kidding that is where he should be. Queen Bo has spoken!! LOL


i'd feel comfertable if only i knew that they had professional training


I have, and it was no big deal to me. Of course, I knew him prior to my pedi, and we just chatted away. I wasn't the least bit uncomfortable. I don't believe I would be uncomfortable with a male giving me a pedicure who I didn't know. Much like having my hair done.


The best pedi ive ever had was from a man...and he was missing too fingers. He was the best, and i miss him!


Darling I am not a nail tech but I would love to take care of your little puttsies. LOL


Where I come from there are so many males who give pedicures... I wouldn't have a problem them giving me a pedicure. I also think that they give better foot massages than women...


I have and would do it again. I think it would be sexist to judge a pedi based on gender

Is it ok for a man to have a french pedicure?

I have a french pedicure. Im a happily married male and my wife will not be surprised one day to find out I'm gay. She is accepting of it, but she has her limits of acceptance. My family doesn't know or my clients as well. I know they can't yet accept this sort of thing. I think men look much better with them as do women. Its just taking care of feet and men can have some BAD feet. Besides all the homophobic uneducated insecure people that don't like this... - I would like an honest opinion from someone not in the predescribed group. I ask again, Is it ok for a man to have a french pedicure?
I did say non-homophobic people answer. If you stereotype a gay for having french nails...Well, I doubt you know any gay males with a french pedicure...Go to college, then give an opinion.


ya! Why not?
Your right, men should take care of their feet, and so what if they look NICE. better than someother peoples feet.
It isn't a big deal, and i honostly think it shouldn't be a sign of gayness.


no to me its not okay.


Its not anyones place to say if its OK or not. I think its a bit weird but if you like it, than thats your thing.

im not sure if you just said you were gay..? im totally cool with that...but your wifes OK with you being gay? i might have read that wrong..idk


I would say no. Even if you were openly gay, I would say no.


They're your toes.
I have to admit, if my husband came home with one i might be a little weirded out, but seriously, do your thing. like the saying goes "the people who matter don't care, and the people who care don't matter."
I don't feel that you (or anyone) should need to seek approval from anyone but yourself. If you like it and you're happy with it, then that is what counts.


It is OK but it is a bit odd. I may be a bit ignorant of it as my feet require almost no maintenance. It seems to me that it is mostly something to make your feet look better. Who looks at feet?


when you say french pedicure, do you mean where they paint the tips white? or just a normal pedicure where they scrub your feet, file your nails and give your feet a massage?
Personally, I think that if it makes you happy then go for it. I dont think its a question of right or wrong. I know many men who get manicures/pedicures (minus the polish). I agree that feet are often ignored by many men (and therefore look dirty and unkempt). It makes you feel better when you do simple things for yourself (or atleast thats how I feel).
The issue with your wife is another story all together. That part sounds like it needs counseling.


A French Pedicure? Does it have to be French?

My horseshoe'r does mine and he is not french at ALL!

Another way to have your toenails cut are the Chinese Bench Grinder.

Dont need to go to Collage Dude. Taking care of yourself is what you do best, I bet. For me helping others is a much better time. Hope ya enjoy our cute nails.

How about a German with hedge clippers, but that could be a little scary!

Look man just get some clippers and do it yourself. You don't need all the other stuff.


no its not,it is like if u want to tell every one that u r gay.i think it is awful.


Nothing wrong with that at all- after all, they're your feet! And there's certainly nothing wrong with taking care of yourself- though polish on your toenails if you're a guy is certainly out of the norm. No worries though, in my opinion!

Women, what do you think about male getting pedicures and manicures?

I am a prominent male buisness owner and i get pedicures and manicures before important meetings, no paint of course, and I was wondering how women feel about men getting pedicures and manicures, because I've gotten a few stares in the spas.


No problem at all... In fact, men who are unkempt with dirty or long or sharp finger/toenails that scratch are a real turn off!!! Also, if I owned a spa or manicure/pedicure business, I would think you were the best thing since sliced bread.

Perhaps women are staring at you because you are gawjus?!


weard


As long as theres no finger nail polish then i think its fine, nothing wrong with a man wanting to look his best!


Good for you!


I have nothing but respect for a man who takes care of his appearance. You have to be careful not to come off looking over-groomed, though. I don't want a guy that's prettier than me.


I think it is a good idea, more men should do it!


I don't know why, but for some reason it impresses me.


ummmm.....yah not so sure about that one buddy!! i guess its fine as long as its no acrilques or color.. yah i guess its fine


This is completely cool.... women somehow go for the guys that take care of themselves more than the ones that don't.


Self-maintenance is NOT gender specific.

LET THEM STARE!


i think its a nice idea, especially if you work in a job where people look at your hands


soo sexy. i always wished i woould meet a guy in a nail place.


LOL
Well, sounds ok to me. As long as your not getting polish or French tips. And as long as they are not like really long.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to keep your nails in tip top shape. Some guys have nasty nails, and it's kinda gross when they touch you and you can see they like bite them. Yick.


You know the importance of looking good for your business. I think that as long as a person does not spend too many hours in a day on their appearance that they should go for it. Why should women be the only ones to enjoy the spa?

Well groomed hands are SEXY!


I love when a man has clean nails on his hands and feet. My husband is a landscaper, but he gets manicures and pedicures regularly, so he's got the smoothest hands. Without them, his nails would be a wreck!


Getting them to look good and impress and not look like a dirty scroungy scrub? It's all good. I have tried to take my mechanic boyfriend in to get some work done (as a joke.. he's not the type of man to do it..) and he just growls at me! HAHA!

Good for you for making an effort.. as long as you aren't totally self centered and vain it doesn't matter.


There's nothing wrong with it. Raggedy nails, toe nails and cuticles are not cute.


it's hygienic to have a pedicure and manicure


there's nothing wrong with a man with soft, smooth hand's. to thank his lady customers and i guess guys. so YES i think it is OK for a man.


I think it's great! It must take a lot of guts for a straight man to walk into a salon or spa! In this society we stereotype and make judgments before we think about the situation. It just goes to show that you really take good care of your hygiene...I wish my man would get a facial! Kudos to you for taking in consideration that you are working in a professional atmosphere and present a very neat and clean appearance!


I think its great...I've been trying to get my boyfriend to go with me!


i think its fine unless there is polish involved and also i think it is a turn off when guys have dirty nails


I think its a very great idea. You see to many men with black
in their nails its not very appealing, especially when holding
hands. I can understand the job side of it to for some men.
They work with there hands in some pretty awful stuff and
its hard for them to get all that grease etc. out of there nails.
But hands and feet should always be clean no matter what.


I think its great that you take care of your appearance and have the money to go and get manicures and pedicures. Some women at the spa might have been wondering if you were gay but who cares--just smile at them and forget it.


There is definetly nothing wrong with a male wanting to get a manicure or pedicure. It just goes to show that you care about your body and how you present yourself. Plus pedicures do wonders of tired weary feet. Don't worry about the stares that you get at the spa. They are just jeolous that their husbands/boyfreinds don't care about it as much as you do! ~Good luck!! ~Bon

Men getting Manicures and Pedicures, whare are your thoughs?

Voice your opinion about how you feel about guys getting a manicure and or pedicure? Is it to girly or gay? Does it make them (us) less of a man? What woman think about thier guys getting manicures or pedicures?

Just to let you know, I get monthly manicures, and the occasional Pedicure...I also get "clear coat" on my nails.


Not all of us men are naturally great at taking care of ourselfs in that department, and if it makes you feel good about you, then I say do it. Let people think what they will, you know who you are, thats all that should matter. And if you're single, it doesn't hurt to look good. I go get my eye brows done, and I'm considering starting to get a pedicure once a month or so. I'd get a manicure to but I can't kick the habit of picking my nails, for them to even grow out. So I say do what you need to, to look and feel good and take care of yourself. And that my friend doesn't make you gay, it makes you concious of your looks and health. Neither of which are a bad thing these days.


Your gay


Maybe I'm biased but I don't think that there is anything wrong with it because you are just trying to have your nails look nice and not like Sasquatch.


It wouldn't bother me, but it might bother some women. I, personally, like men who don't try to act all manly and are just themselves. And, i'd perfer a man getting a manicure/pedicure, it just shows he can take care of himself.


i think it gives the message u are gay or unmanly girls will not date u if they think u r a woss


Gay lol


It is always good to take care of your body part. As you get older nails discolor and die out. so it is important to get them clean. It does not matter men or women.


i think generally america would think it's gay. but thats just how it is.

personally: whatever you have to do to keep clean, i like men that flaunt their femininity more than anything.


I don't see anything wrong with it.


its gay

How much does a man's pedicure cost?

And where is it cheaper to get one, a beauty school, a nail salon, ect?


Same as a woman getting the same done.


pedi's for guys run the same as for girls... i even get the clear polish sometimes ;-)

How many of you wives and g/f's give your man a pedicure, and or clear, beige color polish?



Toenail polish is ugly enough on women without dragging the men into it. A pedicure, sure. Nice luxury.

What do you think of men getting pedicures?

what about men getting their eyebrows waxed?


I think it's weird and gross!

Can someone describe for me what a pedicure for a man consists of?

I know they won't be painting my toenails, but can you tell me what they will do, and help me decide if I should get one?


they will soak your feet, exfoliate them with this pumice/cream, srub of the dead cell and dry spots with a foot file, they might file your nails (if you want them to, tell them no if you dont want it) and then they might put on this type of clear polish(dont worry its made for men, you cant even tell that there is anything on, its not shinny )

815. pedicures and sports

alix and keaton have taken off for pedicures.
from what i have pieced together by their cotton separated toes upon their return, this is some kind of pampering process about the feet.
my understanding is that they are rubbed and washed and oiled up and rubbed some more in preparation for toenail beautification and polishing.

okay i don't get it, but i'm not complaining, because immediately following there is always a hint of relaxed pleasantness in their demeanor, as well as, an eerie softness in their step.
i suspect it's another one of those secret female passions that they have found preferable to sex.
hot stone massages and odd vibrating doodads being others that immediately come to mind.

however, there is zero reciprocated non-complaining of my wild carrying on during a good college basketball game—like villanova vs. syracuse in about two and half hours.
and i have to say, in the midst of a villanova ten point run, sex is the last thing on my mind.

so maybe sport in a way is a man's pedicure.
i'll have to probe this intriguing proposition with my man-mind some more before i can declare it a certainty.feed burn it now!
