What should I look for in a manicurist?
What you should look for in a manicurist is that she does a great job, that she's clean, that she cleans her implements, and that she doesn't hurt you, because a manicure/pedicure should not hurt. When I've worked on people, they say, "Oh! You didnt even hurt me!" and I say, "What are you talking about? Its not supposed to hurt." Also, make sure that, when you get a manicure, you're enjoying yourself. Even if the person does a great job, if you're not enjoying yourself, your time is too precious to sit there and not be happy.
