"  When I heard that there was a &amp;quot;Runner&amp;#039;s Pedicure&amp;quot; being offered at Eve Salon in NYC ($45, 60 minutes), I basically ran to the West Village to try it out. (Sorry, I couldn&amp;#039;t resist!) You see, one of my biggest beauty pet peeves is that every time I get a pedi, I have to practically beg the nail technician not to take every rough patch of skin off the bottom of my feet. As I&amp;#039;ve mentioned before, I run (ok, jog) about five or six miles, a few times a week\u2014and some of the worst runs I&amp;#039;ve ever had have been the day after an overly-aggressive pedicure. Without those hard-earned callouses, blisters are inevitable.  I arrived for my treatment and chose a color: Essie&amp;#039;s Smokin&amp;#039; Hot, which is a perfect-for-fall, purple-meets-gunmetal shade. After a long soak, the technician cut my nails good and short (so they won&amp;#039;t catch or rub against my sneakers), cleaned up my cuticles, and then popped my feet into heated booties\u2014perfect for sore muscles and softening skin. She gently exfoliated and massaged my calves and feet before polishing away with my new favorite nail hue. The best part? I didn&amp;#039;t have to utter a word.  What are your pedicure pet peeves?
