Thank you Pixel. It seems the tally is being led by mani/pedi. Unless we have further input, then that is the direction I shall follow. Has anyone information on books by where I could learn? I have found some internet sources and am seeking to enhance my options.

If you're desire to learn to do manicures and pedicures is partly as a means to find another profession, I'd be very concerned for your health and safety.  Quite honestly, the chemicals in the work environment that you'd be exposed to all day long IMO are rather toxic and not healthy.  The fumes and odors in most salons bother me as soon as I walk in the door.  It's also not exactly a high paying profession compared to others available to you.  But if you'd be learning it to serve your Mistress, then I think it is certainly a wise thing for you to do as nearly all women appreciate a good manicure and pedicure.  Plus, your exposure to the chemicals is then very limited.  Clearly you've received a great deal of feedback that shows many of the dominant ladies would greatly value having a submissive who was trained to provide that service for them.  

I suppose one of the the questions to consider would be whether or not you'd want to also learn how to do artificial nails or "tips" and such too?  That's something that I possess no training or experience with.  That having been said, until you've found a woman to serve, I'd really suggest you focus your energies on what YOU want to learn and would most enjoy learning!  Once you've found the Mistress for YOU, then let HER tell you what She'd like you to learn and proceed from there!  She'll see that you have the desire and initiative to improve yourself and learn new things that will assist in serving her needs.  For a woman that is wise and wants a long term relationship, that will be what counts!

As you asked for it, that's my further input.

I'm sorry, I have no clue what this means. Anyone wish to enlighten this submissive?

As I recall, it wasn't something that one got up from the table feeling relaxed from; instead the recipient (or victim depending on your perspective) tended to feel as if they'd been mugged in an alley with the benefits beginning to appear a day or more later after the toxins were flushed from the muscle tissue.

Hope that helps and is reasonably accurate.
