    I would go if it was a good price, I wouldn't care about the fact it's in tesco, my life is my life and I couldn't care less if someone was like 'omg you go there for treatments?!' as if it's skanky or something (I'm 21 and can imagine lots of people my age thinking so!)
    If it was a good treatment, good price & I can use my credit card with clubcard points etc then yeah I'm up for giving it a go :) can't knock it til you try it! especially if it saves you money in true MSE style :) well that's my opinion :)

    i've had my nails done at walmart.... wasn't the most glamorous location, mind, but was done very well. they seem to have dedicated space and different companies rent it, so the service isn't actually coming from tesco. seems to work to me.

    to be honest, getting nails done isn't something i'd do very often anyway. dead money! but if i wanted to get them done for a special occasion, i can't see that tesco would be any worse than the nail places with 20 people crammed into one room! not that there is a big tesco near me anyway!

    Very few salons are really that nice for me to feel they are ''indulgent'' or ''treating myself''. The ones that are a usually not the ones in the midrange bracket and I can't afford the really expensive ones a lot. So, I'd rather go infrequently for a serious indulge and be kept going for other things in a cheaper way.

    I wouldn't go to Tesco, not because of the ''lack of lux'' but because I don't like Tesco business practise and when I buy things like clothes there I feel dreadful about my own hypocrisy. But I would go to a good no frills salon. without hesitation. If it were clean and the staff were qualified and doing things I wanted done.

    Personally, the very best solution for me would be if I could find someone who could do the things I want using products I like who'd come to my home so that I could relax here.
