Just Pretend I'm A Man

I recently took an impromptu trip to the Nail Salon with a friend of mine. As a nail biter, I rarely get manicures. A couple of years back I tried going once a week to rid myself of the habit. I lasted a good three months, but then the whites above the quick just kept calling to me "bite me." So, when I do take these rare visits, I often just get the pedicure. Besides, the pedicures are a much better experience for a single girl - - vibrating chairs that massage your neck and back...and then those incredible foot and leg rub-downs? Anyway, the only problem with an impromptu pedicure in the winter is the status of your leg hair. Actually, the status of my leg hair is always questionable. I both love and hate shaving. I only love shaving after several weeks of letting the leg hairs go. I hate shaving on a regular basis because it's too time-consuming. Well this particular day was quite the experience for my nail technician. Not only are my legs pasty, white, but I probably haven't shaved them in nearly a month. It started to remind of when I was in Europe for a semester, and for the fun of it decided not to shave my legs for 3 - 4 months (when in Rome, people). The technician really wasn't horrified until came time for the ritual leg massage. She immediately started talking in Vietnamese to the rest of the technicians which made me completely uncomfortable. They all started talking and then a few of them would look my way and start laughing...it was awful. I looked down at her, apologized for my unkempt legs, and then just told her to pretend that I was a man. This made her giggle awkwardly...I'm sure communication was lost and she probably thought i said that I was actually a man in women's clothing. The pedicure was completed with success. My only question is, what is an appropriate tip for a nail technician who just gave Chewbaca a pedicure?
