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

I don't get my nails done, I do my own toenails
I dye my own hair with box dye
I get my haircut twice or three times a year which is £30 (fab lady who cuts superbly she works from home)
I don't get eyebrows or lashes done
But I get Botox a few times a year £150-200 a time and I've just paid £500 for a course of 3 micro needling
I bought an led face mask to use at home
So it's probably the same as people who get all the things I don't, I choose to spend on different things

I get a haircut, maybe once a year and that's it lol. But I'm a SAHM so don't have the time or the money for these things. If I went back to work and my kids were older I'd probably happily spend £100 a month on beauty treatments.

Like you said, you work and can afford it so I don't see why not.

@tumblingdowntherabbithole

what you literally never get your hair cut?? Are you Rapunzel??

£70 every three months for a hair cut, £60 once a year for a pre holiday pedicure and manicure (I do my own feet and nails the rest of the time). £100 a month on pilates and yoga classes. I probably spend about £50+ or so a month on cosmentics, make up, hair treatments, face creams etc..

If you can afford it spend the money on what you like.

If it’s your money, why not? I am not nearly as high maintenance 😂 I have my hair done every 8 weeks (£90) and I have a hot stone massage and holistic facial every month (£100). I also attend yoga and myofascial release classes/courses. So spend about £60 on that

botox every 3 months £250
hair every 2 months £80
i used to spend £40 every 2 weeks getting my lashes done but i started pulling them out so stopped
same with nails i bite them off
so i only get nails and feet done maybe 4 times year at £80 a time
im probably going to get my brows microbladed in a few months

Nothing.

Yeah that's what I said when I was 39!

Had my first lot of botox at 57. Game changer for the frown lines and just generally look far less tired and much less resting bitch face.

Hair £40 every 5 weeks. That’s it.

I don’t have the time or inclination to do all the other stuff.

I’m 39.

Nails: 0
Hair, cut on average once every two years: £40
Lip and eyebrow wax about once a year: £20 or thereabouts

That’s it. Not bought makeup for years and wouldn’t touch botox or fillers etc with a barge pole.

Same here

Cut & Blow every 6 weeks or so = £15.

weight loss injection £200 per month
reformer Pilates £200 per month
high lites £100 every 5 weeks
nails £40 3 every 3 weeks
eyebrows wax tint £20 6 weeks
I spent years never doing any of this then found my mojo and love it,

Um, an eyebrow tint

@RoseAlone

Have you read all the OP’s posts about her controlling husband. Her beauty treatments are not the issue here, the man is an arse.

I'm 58.

130 hair every 2 months
Botox 150 twice a year
Eyebrows and lashes 55 4 times a year
Medik8 retinal 70 2 or 3 x a year

New - WLI 120 a month

So lots.

Do my nails myself with dip powders. They look just as good and last longer than gel polish I used to get which was £38 every couple of weeks.
I have a natural curve to my brows so just tweezer the strays. I tint them Myself when I can be bothered.
Ive got long eyelashes so some black mascara is enough for them to look like false ones !
Dye my hair myself. Haircut costs £50 every 3 months or so.
I do spend my money on M&S moisturiser and eye gel. Think it’s the formula range as I’m mid 40’s now and the crows feet have come out !

This thread has been a revelation 😂

Haircut - last done in December. Will go again when the ends seem too damaged (or ideally will find a brave friend to cut ends)
Eyebrows - occasionally pluck them myself.
Hair in general - remove it myself
Nails - nail varnish from supermarket

I used to go for regular arm/leg waxes, but money is a lot tighter these days....

I try not to look at myself in the mirror tbh, except for brief periods to ensure I don't look too stupid/messy

Your DH is being extremely unreasonable here. Change the childcare bills to come out of the joint account- now. You don't need his permission. He doesn't have your agreement that the golf membership is a joint expense yet he did it anyway.

I think you need to find a way of convincing him that he is looking at this all wrong. Is there a couple you know who split bills proportionally rather than 50/50 who you could use as an example? Is there someone he wpuld listen to on this given clearly he isn't listening to you?

Can you get a higher paid job, will your new one lead to better options?

Botox every 5 months £255
Hair every 10-12 weeks £80
I gave up my nails to pay for my botox lol

It sounds like a lot to me (I spend about £40 to get my hair cut every 6 weeks, don't get nails done or anything else) but if you can afford it then why not?

My hair costs about £50-60 for cut, I always have good intentions of getting it done every 3 months but never get round to it and it's more like 6+ months between cuts these days. I dye my hair myself to cover a few greys.

Have never had nails, lashes or anything else done - it's a whole world I know nothing about to be honest.

If these things make you happy and you can afford the time and money then I don't see the problem. If they are stopping you being able to do things/save money then that's more or an issue.

£30 haircut every 6 weeks. Nil else.

Hair cut - £20 /£25 every 2 months
Eyebrows - when I can £15
Nails - do my own using a mix of gels/dips/BIAB/ stick ons/stickers - every now and then I have a splurge on new products - £100 a year?

I tend to think Im pretty low maintenance Only get the eyebrows done because I cant see to do them myself now. But I spend a lot more time then money now

90 a month for unlimited eyelashes tints and brow shape

120 -150 on nails Infills every other week and a pedicure once a month

Hair probably 600 a year

Botox 450 a year every 4 months
