I'll have to check and see if the Walmarts here do this. There's a Super Walmart right near my office and one in the town where I live. I'll still do my own, but there will be times when I'll be in a time crunch, and $10 I can do once in a while. Thank you for mentioning this!!

Diana, you are right. We can do a lot when we try. Too many people just won't try. They are missing out on so much, IMO. To each their own though. I just like to try to do different things.

I've not heard of solar nails....what are those? I do most everything myself around here so nice nails wouldn't last long I'm afraid. Very seldom am I not busy doing something. I do like to polish my toenails now and then in the summer time, but just when I think my nails look decent, I'll polish them and then it will either split or break. I just don't understand why they've been doing this, they didn't use to.

Janet, I'm not sure what the difference is. There's solar and gel that I've used. Having fake nails doesn't stop me from pulling weeds or digging in the dirt either.

I did nails for 8 yrs (got burnt out) Solar is the product name. I have my nails done now by my daughter,...it can get expensive but, not for me! LOL...I have a daughter who does nails and the other one is a hairdresser...in the same salon!! I'm all set!

Wow Brenda you've got it made girl!!! It is getting expensive. I have my hair cut and colored every 4-5 weeks and it costs $50.00. Been thinking about letting it grow out some and letting it go completely gray. I don't have a dark root on my head...just not sure I want to be all gray yet. My mom is 86 and still colors her hair....lol.

OF COURSE YOU SHOULD GO ALL GRAY!!! LOL! I can say that because, well, I AM gray all over!!! Look at my profile picture! http://www.4womentalk.com/forums/member.php?u=123

I haven't colored my hair since I was 30 (I started going gray at 18). I was coloring my hair when I met my current husband and he asked me why. I haven't touched a bottle of color since then! I can't imagine coloring my hair every month - WHEW!

You look BEAUTIFUL with gray hair!! My Mom is almost white...it is very pretty one her...thing is I wear my hair long....just past my shoulders and long gray hair just doesn't look good...I am having my daughter put some blonde highlights in it in a couple of weeks. I need a little umph! for the summer...and the thing is if I don't like it she can just change it back to the color I have now...It's great having a daughter as a hairdresser!! LOL

It was costing me over $100 for cut and color, so now I let it grow a bit between cuts, and use, I think it's called, Clairol Natural Instincts. It's a color you can buy anywhere and it's inexpensive and temporary. It's a cinch to use and takes very little time. Looks natural and saves big bucks!!

I get my hair colored every 5 weeks...I can't STAND roots! However...if I had to pay I probably would either do it myself or go longer...THANK GOD! my daughter is a hairdresser...I have offered to pay them but, they won't take anything.
