To ask how much you pay for beauty services like your nails, hair, etc?

£40 - nails / monthly
£100 - £180 - hair (cut every second time and dye every time) / 2 months
£15 - eyebrow threading / 1-2 months
£25 - eyebrow and lash tinting / 1-2 months
£16 - chin and upper lip threading / 1-2 months

I want to find somewhere cheaper to get my hair done as I've changed styles recently to one that is much easier to manage but I've been with my hairdresser for years and she is kind of a friend at this point so it's a bit awkward!

hollywood wax every 5 weeks £34
do my own nails.
hair cut once a year £50

So where does his 50% go? If he earns 3x as much he must have over £750 a month!

If his golf club is an expense for work what the hell is childcare/ASC?!? Change the payments for those to the joint account.

This really isn't about hair care and getting your nails done. It's control.

Are you going to manage when your pay drops? Why don't you pay into the joint account in proportion to your earnings? The way I see it he owes you for years of childcare. This sort of thing makes me so cross!

£30 a month nails but I only get them done maybe 6 months of the year.
Hair is 0 as I used to do hair and so did my friend so she does my extensions and colour for free and I do hers. Maybe £20 every few months for glue remover and tapes.

I microneedle my own face.
I do my own upper face botox.
Brows I tint and wax/shape my own.

I pay £30 for a cut & blow dry once every 4 to 6 weeks and I get my high & lowlights done maybe 3 times a year, at £60, which includes the cut & finish.

If I’m lucky enough to be having a holiday I might get a lash lift & tint at £30.

I used to get my brows tinted but now there is so little of my natural brows left, especially on the outside edges, that it’s just not worth it. I get through quite a lot of eyebrow pencils instead!

I’m 40. Nails £30 every month or so. Hair £125 twice a year. The rest I do myself. Professionally done nails are noticeable. People with the home kits tend to look a bit crap

Nails - £35 every 4 weeks
Hair - £9 every 3 weeks for a fringe trim + £60 twice a year for a proper cut
Eyebrows tinting and waxing - £25 every 2 months

I do my own nails and brows and spend around £90 on hair every 6 weeks. Guess I'm kinda low maintenance lol 🤷🏼‍♀️

If u can afford it comfortably and wouldn’t need the money for something else then what’s the problem.

I don’t think it’s that bad, especially the hair as it’s not that often.

I don’t spend any money on my nails. If I want them done I do my own gel nails, very occasionally I’ll get them done for a special occasion. I don’t like having particularly long nails as I find they catch on things most often the kids get scratched when trying to dress them etc.

My hair again is low maintenance, I have long dark hair. It’s not coloured (although I am starting to get a few greys😭 so will eventually need to get it coloured). I just get it cut twice a year usually, it’s £30 and I give her £35 as it’s such a gd price. My last place went up to £57 for the same thing so I found somewhere else. Eyebrows do them myself too and I do my own lash lift & tint every 6-8wks.

Read your updates and your husband is a twat.

Basically he wants to save money by stopping spend on stuff that brings you joy but he doesn't care about, but he doesn't want to save money by stopping something that brings him joy.

The bare faced selfishness of the man.

Forgot to add gel pedicure to my list - 35 every two months

Nails are 28 every three weeks

I spend 10 a month on cluster lashes from amazon (do them myself)

15 every 6 weeks to dye my hair (myself)

Haircut twice a year or so at 40 a time

Fake tan about 15 a month (again, diy)

Nothing, but I do it myself and I’m fairly high maintenance.

I cut and colour my own hair. Thank God for YouTube tutorials.

Do my own hair removal (IPL and shaving).

Pluck my brows and chin.

Whiten my teeth at home.

I don’t have nail extensions. I just shape and paint my own nails using standard nail varnish.

I am thinking about starting having lash extensions though, and I’d also be curious to try Botox, so if I like those it will be a time and money commitment.

Having my hair cut more regularly - so just under £200 a year on hair cuts. (four cuts a year).

And that's it. Don't do anything else. I really don't get the whole nails thing, but each to their own.

I am early 50s and quite pleased with how I look. Would rather spend my money on exercise and activity to keep looking good.

Hair - wash, cut blow dry every 6 weeks £45
Highlights and trim every 8-10 weeks - £150

Nails, about £100 a year on gel polishes

Brows: Tint and wax once a month £25

I’m thinking of trying a Lash lift & tint

I also spend quite a lot on style and beauty, e.g this week I’ve bought Olaplex no. 8 (which is amazing, the best product I have ever used on my hair), a lipstick, a Bondi sands tan, and Adidas trainers for autumn

I don't spend on any of this stuff. I get my hair trimmed by a family member (not a professional) for free every year or so. Never bothered with the other stuff.

I have a budget of £80 month for personal non essentials and would rather buy books or craft materials tbh!

Ah. So he's a dick?

I do sometimes have nails and that’s £29 every 3 weeks no currently as I’m on natural nails and polish from Christmas gifts, I go 3 times a year for a pedicure with gel polish (£35) and in between get the polish changed (£25) twice a year. Hair is £30 once or twice a year

40 on hair every 8 weeks. 45 on pedicure every 8 weeks and 40 on hair vitamins every 3 months.

Hair £80 every eight weeks
Pedicure £35 every eight weeks

That’s my lot. 20 odd years of gel nails left them in such a state it took three or four years for them to recover. Never again.

I gel my own nails & I wax my own eyebrows but I spend about £150 - £200 a month on my hair. I also spend about £200 every 3 months on botox. Over my dead body would anyone be telling me to not spend this unless we were struggling to pay for essential things or depriving our son.

Agree.

What other MN spend is hardly the point!
