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

Im a bit tight but like to have these things done. I have a uv nail lamp and do my own nails, and I do my own lash lift and tint with a luxe kit. Cost a fraction of having someone else do it but with a bit of practice is just as good 😊

£45 as it’s just gone up again for nails which I’m gutted about as I like having nail art but i think it would be about £50 + to get what I was having so I’m going back to plain - I go every 4-5 weeks

hair colour twice a year about £150 a go and probably cut 3 times a year £60

wax every 6 weeks - £30-40

eyebrows tint and shape myself now but tend to get a reshape once or twice a year £15 for me to then follow the regrowth

botox one area twice a year £120

Enjoy your nails, you deserve to!

£19 once or twice a year for my hair unless I can get my husband to cut it, in which case hair/nails/beauty treatment cost is £0.

I don't really spend anything other than a haircut about twice a year. But I have other vices: weekends away, stuff for the house and garden; we all have our weak spots for spending.

I don’t think your costs sound unreasonable at all. By comparison, I spend around:

£40 every 3 weeks on nails
£20 every 4-6 weeks on brow tint and wax
£125 a month on glass skin facials
£60 twice a year on pedicures
£80 twice a year on hair cuts
£250 once a year on Botox
and ungodly amount on home beauty, skincare, makeup etc

But context is key and the reasonableness of expenditure entirely depends on your income and other outgoings.

Is it your money ? Do you work ? If so wtf has it got to do with anyone . I have nails done , pedicure , eyebrows, vampire facial - I live for £10 Tuesday every week on the boots app ❤️, I work fucking hard I pay my bills so I will do what I want with my money. I work as a cook in a care home , I love the residents but I will tell you all this you all live your lives because you never know what’s around the corner

I don't think that sounds unreasonable at all. You could be spending way more. It would be different if you didn't have the spare cash. And tbh its better than spending on fast fashion.

I dye my own eyebrows, and use a brow mascara to thicken them - so £20 a year?

Hair - it's natural silver now and I trim it myself.

Skincare - £70 a year on a couple of beauty advent calendars that last all year + aloe vera gel and sun lotion

My nails are fine natural, occasionally put some polish on them that I've had for years

I'm very low maintenance. My money goes on gym/swim annual membership of £300

I've got good skin and use products, but I'm 50 and it won't last forever. Not judging others for spending, if I had more I would.

£0 I have natural nails, natural brows, natural eye lashes etc. My hair is cut about properly every 2 years and about £20 at local hair dresser (dry cut) and occasionally my MIL will trim the ends once every 9 months or so. This is me though. I don't even wear makeup unless its a proper event and then its a bit of concealer and bit of mascara.

Nails: £35 to £40ish every 3 weeks
Pedi: £60 every 6 weeks
Leg, bikini and underarm wax: £75 every 5 weeks.
Colour: Averages at £50 every 4 weeks (I'm grey and my hair grows very quickly).
Cut: £85ish every 12 weeks or so
Botox: £190 every 12 weeks

I then have ad hoc treatments like massage, facials, hair up for events, as and when the spirit moves me. And then things like teeth whitening every few years.

It's a lot, but I can afford it and I enjoy it. I earn well, I have no debt other than my mortgage, no car finance, I don't go on expensive holidays, I rarely drink etc. I just like to look and feel my best - the same reason why I go to the gym, use a personal trainer and try to eat healthily. I'm hugely grateful that I can do all of the above; it hasn't always been the case.

Tl;dr: Your money, your choice. If you can financially meet all your needs and commitments then use your own money however you like. It's no one else's business.

Zero other than a haircut once a year at the most. However I spend £110 on other things each month, such as books. Everyone has their interests and hobbies.

He’s taking the piss. Golf membership out of the joint account but not childcare and after school? I don’t understand that, why doesn’t childcare come out of the joint account?

And I presume so he can work too!!?? This is definitely a joint expense! I’d be annoyed at that. Sounds like he’s looking after himself.

Totally agree. Tosser.

Nails every 3 weeks -£35
botox every 4 months -£260
hair every 10-12 weeks -£150( long blond hair)
brows( micro blading) once a year -£250

What a c*nt. LTB.

Clearly doesn't value your contribution to the family in the early years facilitating his career. I won't even mention the boiler, childcare costs and his childish huffy trot to the pub, tell him to fuck off and take him to the cleaners 🤗.

I do my own nails and shave my legs in the shower but I do like to use nice products so probably spend £50 a month on nice makeup, nail polish, shower stuff, etc.

Hair £120 every 3 months. It used to be half that but I get a gloss colour now.

No botox or anything like that.

£0 on anything other than 2x hair cuts a year which is £36 each time for a quick trim & rough dry.
£6 on a tub of Nivea soft twice a year for face and hands.
Splurge slightly more on shower gel & shampoo (l’occitane £16 per bottle).

That’s literally it.

About £40 every three years on a haircut 😂 but I'm not into fashion or beauty so it doesn't bring me joy - and I actually dread getting my haircut and only go when the ends are extra straggly (like now 😬)

If I had time and less expenses, then I would spend money on massages fairly regularly though!

My closest friend is a beautician so some is 'mates rates'.

Nails £30 every 3 weeks.
Eyebrows waxed and tinted once a month £15
Hollywood bikini wax every 3 weeks or so £20.
Highlights and a trim and blow dry every 3 months £50

Nothing much to add. 🤣

Previously:
Nails - about £35 every 3 weeks
Eyebrows - £15 every month
Eyelash - £15 every month
Hair cut - £45 sporadically
Hair colour - £100ish even more sporadically

I can't really afford it (and didnt particularly like the process) so now:
Nails - do my own. They last about 2 weeks. About £100 for the kit.
Eyebrows - do my own. About £12 for a box of dye that lasts about 10 times plus the cist of tweezers
Eyelashes - I dont do anything now
Hair cut - I need to make more of an effort with this.
Hair dye - £10 box dye. Looks exactly the same as an all over colour at the hairdressers and when I inevitably hate it, I can't blame them.

London prices mean £120 a every other month for cut and colour. £65 for nails but I only get nails April to September.

It's a Phillips Lumea, a good few years old now. So long as your hair is dark and your skin is pale it should work.

£0 😭 but if we are going away I get my nails done professionally. Most people I know are £100 - £200 so I think you're on the lower end ;)

£50 every six months on my hair.

Don’t get anything else done.

Need to get my teeth cleaned.

I spend on cosmetics & shampoo.

I also like a nice treat in the Sales.

DH wouldn’t know what I spend.
