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

Hair - alternate between £40 and £85 every 7-10 weeks, depending on whether I have colour put in.

That’s it for me.

Lash infills £15 week
brow wax every two weeks £8
box dye brows £10 month
Nails £40 month
Hair £45 every 12 weeks
makeup £10 month
predicure n gel polish £60 every 7/8 weeks

So it's your personal spends money and you are choosing to spend it on beauty stuff. Absolutely fine.

I also think his golf membership out of joint account is fine if he uses it for networking.

I don't think it's fine that he gets £600 spends and you get £250.

It should be £425 each - you can put your extra £175 into a savings account into your name. He can spend or save his £425 as he sees fit.

I dye my own hair - £12 every 8 weeks
haircut: £45 every 8-12 weeks
Eyelash extensions £35 every 3 weeks
I do my own eyebrows and nails
£180 botox every 6+ months

I spend literally £0 - It's not important to me.

That's neither here nor there, though.

You should have equal personal spends left over after bills, joint spends and long term and short term savings. If it's affordable out of your own personal spends, then it's fine for you to choose to spend it on that.

I would only see it as a problem if it was costing more than your share of the personal spends and therefore wasn't affordable. But if, for example, your personal spends is £200 per month and you choose to spend £110 of that on beauty - then why not? As long as you don't expect to also benefit from his personal spends if he chooses to save his up.

Hair for me is £165 every 10 weeks for balayage it’s worth it for me because it covers my greys and it makes me feel happy having my hair done.
£20 every 4 weeks for lip wax and eyebrow wax and shape cause quite frankly I don’t want to have a moustache or caterpillar brows.

I tend to spend £100 plus for any beauty stuff I may need that month so whether it’s a new bottle of perfume or some hair products or skin care.

I am 38 years old live for the moments now cause heaven knows what it will be like in few years time meaning the state of the UK and the World etc.

Nails every month £25-30 depending on design
hybrid lashes every 3 weeks £30
eyebrow tint and thread every 6 weeks £18
hair every 5 months £70
I get about 3 spray tans a year for weddings etc that cost about £20

Im aghast at these figures. Gel manicures ruin my nails and I had one once, that was enough. I can paint my own nails pretty well. They are in great condition thanks to being spared damaging gel manicures.

Hair I buy expensive Aveda products but my hair is a particular type and needs it. But that's it.

No facials, no nothing. I've been told I look great.

Weekly blow dry, monthly roots touch up, every other month ‘the workz’ highlights, colour, cut and blow dry.

post meno pause I no longer need leg wax but do need eyebrows micro bladed every few years and dyed occasionally

i also have a weekly yoga lesson, lovely spa membership and buy myself lovely clothes.

it would not occur to DH to question any of these, never mind add it up. I’m a responsible adult, work full time exactly so what I save and spend is no one’s business but my own.

I spend a lot on regular hair and beauty appointments but I've found excellent practitioners at really decent prices, I'm in the NW where the competition is fierce and I am lucky to get a discount for being a regular.

Hair roots and blowdry, £35 every 3 weeks, I get highlights & cut every 6m which is £70
Acrylic nails and nail art, every 4 weeks £25
Hollywood wax, every 7 weeks £32
Lash lift and HD brows every 7 weeks £40
Luxury pedicure with chiropodist every 8 weeks £52 ( I get this reimbursed by a health cash plan) I paint my toenails myself.
Botox every 9m £120

I do my own facials, hair masks, tanning drops, IPL, teeth whitening strips (imported from USA). I'm getting older and and takes more time and money to look half decent. I love a home spa pamper night. I do this with my teen DDs.

I have recently had my hair cut shorter so needs to be done often with roots, toner and trim every 6 weeks - £60
i have my nails done every 3 weeks - £35 on average depending on style
Angel lashes are done every 3 weeks ish (infill) - £45
eyebrows every 4 weeks - alternating between lamination and tint/wax - averages out about - £20 a go
I’ve also started getting sports massage every 4 weeks as I carry a lot of tension in my back/shoulders - £40

it’s worth every penny!! I pretty much just wake up and go now and wear a lot less make up with lashes and eyebrows always done. Nails are big help to make me feel done up too.
if you can afford it, go for it!

Hair £85 once or twice a year.

Hair cut £24 every 6 weeks (stopped colouring in Covid)
Nails - do own toes. No polish on fingers due to job.
Eyebrows - do own
Shave rather than wax due to skin sensitivities.

£260 every 12 weeks for botox in 3 areas.

A hair trim every 12 weeks or so for £40.

I do my own gel nails with my own kit, which was pretty inexpensive to buy.

I don't get anything else done, and all of my toiletries are cheap high street brands (Simple, Nivea and so on).

I then spend a LOT on my fitness and health routine (supplements, collagen powder, protein powder, creatine, gym membership, cross fit classes...)

One hair cut a year, last year it cost £30 I think, next one due in two weeks

Fair enough. It’s nice supporting a local business.

It sounds like you have non-European hair. That naturally requires a lot more care and styling. I have thick, long blonde straight hair. I’ve never had extensions. It doesn’t hold a curl. It responds exactly the same way to expensive shampoo and something cheap like Head and Shoulders. It doesn’t need oil - that would just make it greasy. I get complements on my hair and requests for tips on getting it so glossy and thick. The only advice I have is that I don’t bleach or colour it, which is not what people want to hear.

In that context, I don’t think you can really gauge what reasonable expenditure on hair is by asking in mumsnet. You know your hair and what it takes to control it.

£30 every 3 weeks for nails
£50 every 3 months for hair

Haircut once a year. Don't do nails or anything.

But I do spend £280 a month on personal training sessions and have done so for 2.5 years. I like my figure and feeling healthy and strong is my priority. Don't care what my hair, face or nails look like.

Hair highlights, root colour plus c&bd around £62 every 7/8 weeks

Used to get gel polish done professionally every few months but now do it myself with just a good quality polish

Had micro blade brows & lip blush done, £200 each & still looking good 2 years on, just use vaseline on them both every day

Nothing else that I can think of

You work and your "fun money" covers it.

End of story.

He can put a sock in it, paying £200 a month for golf but expect you to put your fun money in savings. Golf isn't really something that by itself is going to keep him in physical condition.

This sounds like he's starting to be financially controlling.

He would say that though wouldn't he 😆

I'm sure you "network" too 😉@ChattyChai

It is enough that you say "it makes me feel great" 🤗

Has he never heard of happy wife, happy life? What a silly fellow 😂

Eyebrows £16 every six weeks or so.

Hair around £60 but I only get it trimmed about once a year.
