Between auditioning, callbacks, acting/singing/dance/dialect classes, and that good ol’ survival job, some days can feel like a real slog. To recover from or prepare for those tough ones, you deserve to treat yourself kindly, which means the occasional pampering. Below are three ways to treat yourself, and where in Los Angeles to do it on the cheap.
Get a mani/pedi.Why: A fresh manicure is capable of changing your entire outlook and attitude and, frankly, the world. Factor in that every mani/pedi comes with an up-to-the-elbow or knee massage, and you’re basically getting two wellness treatments for the price of one. You can also double up on motives if you have an audition coming up that you think calls for a specific hue: red for a sexy role, black for a dark one. And, it’s 2017 so it should go without saying, but mani/pedis are not just a ladies’ sport. Unkempt cuticles, overgrown toenails, or dirt under the nails won’t help any male book a role, either.
