Gifts that’ll pamper

A manicure-pedicure seems like a good choice to pamper clients. But if you buy one for all your clients, it’ll cost you. A basic mani-pedi in Victoria, B.C. at Rachael D’s Nails averages $90. In Regina, Sask. at Just For You Day Spa, you’ll pay $105. And in Ottawa, a mani-pedi at Warren Chase Urban Retreat for Men costs $105. So mani-pedis for 100 clients will cost you from $9,000 to $10,500, and you probably won’t be remembered for it.
