If you were struggling with money ...would you get your hair done?

[blondsalop]

Basically this month is a bit of a tight month.
Due to paying off holiday and going away next weekend for 3 nights.
So paid out over £1000 on it all.
So my hair apt is due Wednesday and that is £115 or I postpone it till for 4 weeks time and use that £115 towards spends for trip away next weekend.
At the min I have £300 spending money but obviously if I don't get hair done up have £415
My hair is highlighted and hasn't been done in 3 months so I have roots.
What would you do?

Leave it

Leave it, maybe try one of those root cover ups - I used to find they could double how long I could leave roots (but I was darkening greys, not putting in blonde). I’ve just let the grey come in now, saved me a fortune!

Get your hair done and you’ll feel great on your holiday. Maybe ask for a cheaper service though like a half head of highlights?

I guess it's only 4 weeks
At the minute I'm hiding them with sunglasses on my head and dry shampoo.

@AthenaPopodopolous £115 is just for t section highlights
Full head is £150

Did you have to pay a deposit to cancel?

Where are you going? Is it somewhere cheap!

For your holiday, not hairdresser

Oh my god. Roots! This is like my worst nightmare. So this would be a difficult choice. I feel for you.
Could you get a temporary dye for your roots? Maybe get a friend to help at the back? The roots aren't going to be that long so even if it's not a great job, they won't look bad.
How much spends do you need, though, if the hotel is paid for? 5 days is £60 a day.

I'm so undecided
My hair isn't in great condition with the bleach so at least I will be giving it a break but I hate roots.
It would be nice to be away and not worry I'm going to run out of money ...and a extra £100 would be helpful
We are going to Blackpool for the illuminations next weekend

No -no deposit to cancel

Get it done. If there's a chance you won't feel comfortable/ happy going another 4 weeks.

I'd think after 3 months your roots are already substantial and you'd have probably liked it done sooner anyway.

I’d probably get my hair done and if I needed the extra £100 while away put it on a credit card for a couple of weeks.

The hair would be canceled. We moved house,DH unexpectedly lost his job (company liquidated on the Spot) I became sole bread winner, didn't even have a cut for 18 months,used a cheap box dye just for root touch up

I would cancel it tomorrow when they open

You're going to Blackpool? Hmm, no one will notice your roots. Lol. It's roots central in Blackpool.
On the other hand, there are lots of cheap places to eat and drink so you won't need much money either. What are you planning on doing? Entertainment can be expensive there and soon adds up.

Root situation

We are planning on doing the tower/madam Tussaud's etc
We have the Kellogg's 2 for 1 vouchers
The zoo

What are your plans for the nights? Blackpools not cheap.

I'm with partner so he will have £300-£400 also.
We are planning night 1
Go for a Italian
Night 2 cocktails /north pier
Night 3 not sure probably food and drinks again

Do you think I can get away with the roots for another 4 weeks ? Or am I pushing it

I would just get the roots done and leave the highlights until next time, that should knock a bit of money off the bill.

Get the roots done at a cheaper hairdresser?

I actually quite like the roots look and think yours looks good

Ooh yes your roots look nice!
