What do you have done regularly?

Anything? Nothing? What do you consider a minimum? How much do you spend?

[ggirl]

i am always meaning to have things done and never get round to it

have a voucher to use up as well
have booked for my lashes to be dyed and permed
pluck my own brows
bikini -pah
manicure-my nails are so short for work so not worht bothering

[bigkidsmademe]

I have eyebrows threaded, which is £2. Manicure once a month plus special occasions, pedicure once a month in summer, about £20 each. Bikini wax once a month. That's it really, haircuts twice a year perhaps - my hair is long and curly and doesn't need a lot of looking after.

[bigkidsmademe]

Should add I'd love to add a facial to that list but can't really justify it at the moment, they are all so expensive

[mummybookworm]

My cousin waxes my legs and eyebrows, and tints my eyelashes and eyebrows approx every 6 weeks. Costs me £10 (I LOVE my cousin!). Nails - £15 per month. Hair however, about £80 every 12 weeks. I am currently looking at ways of reducing this by at least half!

[TattyDevine]

I do a lot less since I got my beloved Silk Epil epilator. I used to get my legs waxed but now I do it with that. I do my underarms too, and have recently started doing my bikini - gulp (it hurts) - but I'm sticking with it because it gets better after a few goes, as the hair gets less thick and strong.

I get my hair done every couple of months. I've been doing the base colour myself more recently but I have highlights added in the summer.

Botox twice a year which has done more for my appearance than any creams or facials or skincare routines.

I get my eyebrows threaded as often as I can but often have to pluck in between as can't go as often as I'd like (very young children)

I do my own nails but sometimes have a pedicure or Minx put on my toenails

Have tried the eyelash extensions but prefer doing my own strip lashes (a very natural Mac one) when I want an eyelash boost than the cost and maintenance of having the semi permenants.

I'd like to get my teeth whitened sometime this year.

[apple99]

Eyebrow thread and tint every 4-5 weeks = £14

Pedi every 4 weeks in the summer (do my own in winter) = £20

Haircut every 8 - 10 weeks = £35

Highlights twice a year = £55 each time.

Would love to have facials and massages but cannot afford at the moment. Would also like to have a bikini wax but am too embarrassed!!

I'm not so far off the mark then!

I have nails every 3 weeks (acrylics - I'm a biter and if they aren't rock solid they are gone in an hour)

Just started with eyelashes - Lash Perfect and I ADORE them!

Tan every so often

Eyebrows waxed every 6 weeks or so

[ManicAnnie]

Minimum:
Get acrylic nails done once a fortnight - £16 for refill
In summer I also have a pedicure once a fortnight - £22
Get my 'tache waxed once every 6 weeks - £6
Hair cut once every 6 weeks - £50

I sometimes get my eyebrows threaded, but mostly pluck them myself at home.

I colour my own hair.

I have a bikini wax and spray tan if I am going on holiday, otherwise I fake tan and shave at home.

Have a facial and massage about once a year, just for the pampering feeling.

[brandnewme]

God I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooo jealous!

[noddyholder]

botox twice a year nothing else works
Had the lashes but now am using rapid lash serum at night

[brandnewme]

I get a deluxe pedi and spray tan before we go abroad every year, and perhaps for b'days every now and again I've had a spa day. Would love to be able to do more often.

Are any of you able to take the kids/baby to the salon?

And where do you get threading done for £2!!!!! Thats cheap as chips!!!

[EttiKetti]

Biogel nails every 2-3 weeks..am an ex bite so they're filled more often at first

Dermalogica facial every 6 weeks

Do the rest myself!

[tak1ngchances]

Lashes & brows: Tint my own eyebrows at home every month/6 weeks, pluck my own brows regularly, lash tint when I'm going away on hols
Body: Moisturise after showers, apply Dove Summer glow when I think of it, have a St Tropez spray tan before events/holidays
Nails: I do my own pedis which I love, I get a proper manicure about twice a year but a file and paint in a place down the road for £6 about once a fortnight
Face: I loathe facials. All that heavy breathing by the therapist so close to my face, it makes me claustrophobic. So I do my own cleansing, toning and moisturising and sometimes I do a mask or exfoliating treatment.

I also LOVE products that work when I'm asleep. That's my very favourite thing of all. So I have a little stash of things beside my bed: cuticle cream, heel cream, bio-oil for elbows and knees, a bit of tea tree for spots and blemishes. Then I wake up feeling much much nicer and I haven't had to make any effort at all really!

[bonkers20]

Yikes, some of you are doing a lot! To those who pay for manicures, do you not have young children?

So, I have my eyebrows waxed every three months or so. They need to be done every 2 really, but I never get around to it.

I get my hair cut when I remember to book an appointment.

I colour my hair myself.

brandnewme I used to take DS to the hairdresser but wouldn't do now he's 2. This explains why I haven't had my hair cut since Jan!
I'll take him when I get my brows done though as that doesn't take very long.

[brandnewme]

I seriously don't see the point of a manicure - can you not just do it yourself?? Bit of file and polish?

Eyebrow stuff i get as you need to get the right shape on both sides, spary tan so nice and even, pedi cos of the foot massage bit too etc

[badkitty]

I am feeling very very ungroomed reading this I think I need to do more. I get my eyebrows threaded every couple of weeks, hair cut every couple of months, that's about it. I think I need to start more of a regime so DH doesn't think I've let myself go... really want to get a brazilian but never had it done and afraid the therapist will run screaming from the room in horror...

Is there a website you can put your picture then try different hairstyles?

[ifancyashandy]

Hair cut and colour every other month. About £100.

Eyebrows & top lip threaded every other week £10 a go.
Elemis Facial every other month £60.

Eyelash extensions once a month £50.

Own mani / pedi (currently sporting toe dividers right now!)

Shave bikini / legs / armpits

Own St Trop (being doing it years - takes no time now!)

Unbelievably, I go for the natural look! My hair is naturally very dark so grey shows very quickly. Have a natural brown all over tint. And my natural eyelashes are very sparse and I go for the natural length / thickness. No Jordon / Cheryl lookilikee here!
