Never had either. Have done multiple full body massages where they do rub my hands and feet, but never a manicure or pedicure.
My feet are getting pretty gnarly. 30+ years of running and cutting for basketball and football as a player and ref has taken its toll. I've always had lots of callouses, but now there are some odd toenail issues. I do shave the hair off the top during the summer so I don't look like a hobbit, but never had anyone else mess with my toes.
I've never given a crap about my hands enough to do a manicure.

Clearly a male only nail salon would be an epic fail

Pedicures are awesome. At age 47 I had never gotten one. Now at 54, I get one once a month. I play a ton of sports ... tennis, golf, pickle, basketball. It's good for getting rid of dead skin, keeping away the ingrown toenails, and to a lesser extent fighting athletes foot. It's only $38 with tip at a place near me. Takes about 45 mins. It's better value for the money than a massage. I had one manicure - that was a waste of time.

Going for my first pedicure tomorrow. Many many years overdue. I have runner's feet and always have. Mom took me to skin specialists (part acne, but primarily just dry hands/feet) when I was a teenager, but little benefit resulted. Haven't done much to manage them since - pretty much just aquafor. But recently I think back/hip problems are partially sourced from my feet. I know other issues are playing larger roles, but given how much Oofos have helped mitigate I now know my feet are contributing as well so I'm trying to address that long neglected problem to keep me moving.
But anyway, what should I expect? I have some pretty nasty nails. Some are fine, but others have some fairly significant build up between the nail and toe. Two of them don't even really look like nails anymore. One of the reasons I'm delayed this as long as I have is because I didn't want to subject someone to them, but my massage therapist convinced me that if she's seen worse and dealt with them in her line of work she can only imagine what they deal with. So go do it.

I put no as it is not regular but will go with my daughters to get a pedicure every once in awhile. Would say once or twice a year. They love going with me so good father daughter bonding time and honestly my feet get gross so they could use it once in awhile.
Actually not a bad experience overall and they cleanup my nails and awful calluses. I would recommend to others to give it a try. Last time I went the asian lady who had to deal with my awful feet told my wife that she gave her husband "new feet". Actually a pretty close description.

They have seen far worse than your toenails, I'm sure. I had one big toe that was on its way to ingrown, and she dug in and started clipping. I yelped and she looked at me and said "That hurt?" I said a little and she said "Not long" and just launched back in. They've seen it all and don't seem bothered.
