According to data from costhelper.com, manicures can cost anywhere from $10-$85. If you get a manicure every two weeks and pay the average price of about $30 per manicure, you could pay nearly $800 for manicures each year. As a college student, that money can be put to better use. You can, however, get a great manicure without having to pay nearly as much.
