I don't think they count as "done" except for the Botox 🤔

InsertUsernameHereeee · 06/05/2025 22:39

I agree I would associate “done” as things like Botox and fillers etc. In that case 0.

MereNoelle · 06/05/2025 22:40

I have my hair cut every 3-4 months. That’s all

savuni27 · 06/05/2025 22:42

I colour and cut my hair every 6 weeks (can’t stand sitting at the hair dressers so do it myself.)
Fake tan weekly
Nails done every 4 weeks
I do my lashes at home when I feel like it, they usually last a week but it destroys my soul doing them 😂

I have a full body massage 2-3 times a year.

jalleeno · 06/05/2025 22:44

None of those at the moment, I cut and dye my own hair, shave my legs and don't bother with other treatments. I plan to have botox again once I'm done with breastfeeding.

LovelySG · 06/05/2025 22:44

Hair: highlights and trim every 6 weeks
Keratin treatment every four months
Pedicure: every six weeks
(I paint my own finger nails once a week)
Tash and brows threaded once every six weeks
Brows tinted every other week
Botox every four months
Lip and mid-face fillers once a year

Sonolanona · 06/05/2025 22:45

Nothing.
I shave my own legs, pluck my own eyebrows, would never have my nails done ( I'm a gardener and also play bass guitar!)
I do have my bi-annual hair cut booked tho Grin

My getting-near-60 face is past the help of botox!

coxesorangepippin · 06/05/2025 22:46

A pedicure every two months

A haircut once a year

That's it

uncomfortablydumb60 · 06/05/2025 22:46

Hair cut and coloured every 4 weeks( very short pixie)
other than that, I don’t like to be touched.

Mayhemabounds · 06/05/2025 22:47

Leg wax when I go on holiday. Haircut every six weeks. Do everything else myself and would never have Botox.

NerrSnerr · 06/05/2025 22:50

Hair cut every 2-3 months and that’s it. No colour, never had nails done or legs waxed (shave them in the shower). Never had eyebrows done either.

GreatTheCat · 06/05/2025 22:50

Zero.

Get hair done once in a while.
Get brows threaded once in a while.

hamsterchump · 06/05/2025 22:50

Nothing, I am fully DIY, I cut and colour my own hair (last professional cut and colour 15 years ago when I was 20), use Philips Lumea IPL, I've never had a spray tan or wax or nails or makeup, let alone Botox, etc done by anyone.

I'm not at all crunchy or alternative and wear makeup, have styled hair every day etc but I've never really seen the appeal in having services like this done by other people, I find it boring, awkward, often disappointing and expensive so prefer to do it all myself.

HamieandHave · 06/05/2025 22:53

None of that, I occasionally cut my hair, that’s about it

DramaAlpaca · 06/05/2025 22:55

I have regular haircuts but that's it. Any other necessary grooming I do myself at home.

grumblebutt · 06/05/2025 22:57

I get my nails done once in a blue moon then get annoyed that I have to either pick the gel off or keep getting them maintained. I do like having them done though.

I get my hair coloured professionally about twice a year. Maybe cut once or twice in between.

Very occasionally get my eyebrows threaded but only if I happen to pass somewhere in a shopping mall that can do it quickly.

I wish I had more time for these things as I do feel better for keeping on top of them but I really don’t have the free time or childcare for constant appointments. I once got my eyelashes done and was laid there for about two hours, how the fuck people manage that every 2-3 weeks I have no idea.

beasmithwentworth · 06/05/2025 22:58

I stopped getting highlights done at the hairdressers. It’s so extortionate - so now I use a box dye. I get my eyebrows threaded every month or so but now dye them myself. I get a mani and pedi (BIAB) about once a month. I use clarins tan every 3 days or so but just on my face. I did get Botox a couple of times but can’t afford it now!

DappledThings · 06/05/2025 22:58

None of these. Hair is getting far too long but I hate going so will probably get round to it by the summer.

Fifthtimelucky · 06/05/2025 22:58

Hair cut four times a year and highlighted twice a year.

That’s it.

WatermelonSugarLow · 06/05/2025 22:59

I wish I could afford all that! If it makes you feel
great OP, go for it! Sounds wonderful!

OP, I'm intrigued, how much do each of those treatments cost you?

I had gel nails once… what a pain in the arse! Took about 6 months for my nails to go back to normal. Really pissed me off as I had lovely nails before.

FrangipaniBlue · 06/05/2025 23:01

Once a month:

  • haircut
  • nails
  • CACI facial

Legs & eyebrows waxed before holidays or special occasions

Sports physio massage every 6-8 weeks

I’ve had lazer hair removal on my bikini and under arms.

mondaytosunday · 06/05/2025 23:02

Haircut every three/four months. I colour it myself every couple months or so. Facial every six weeks. Pedi twice a year. I shave my underarms but nowhere else (I have little hair on my legs). Other than the colouring guess I’m pretty low maintenance.

Always do my own makeup

RampantIvy · 06/05/2025 23:11

I have my hair cut and coloured every 5-6 weeks. I can't do it myself as it is short, I don't have the skills and can't see without my glasses.

I have pedicures in the summer only. I do my finget nails very occasionally, but look after them. Gel nails wrecked them, and it took a long time for them to get back into good condition.

I epilate my moustache and shave my legs. Waxing never worked for me. The hair grew back just as quickly and I just ended up with ingrowing hairs.

No botox or fillers (shudder).

I have dark hair and lashes so my brows and lashes don't need any attention other than plucking the odd stray hair.
