I get a lash lift every 6ish weeks and my nails done when I'm off work.

I get an expensive (£210) treatment on my hair twice a year that makes it much easier to manage.

That's it but my DP thinks it's excessive?!

I really don't think it is? What do you get?

Hair cut every 12 weeks. Nothing else that I can think of!

takealettermsjones · 06/04/2023 10:08

Waxing and nails, but not religiously - mostly just in the summer. But I pay for it so it's nothing to do with my DH 😆

NumberTheory · 06/04/2023 10:09

None.

bengalcat · 06/04/2023 10:10

Hair cut and colour around every 8 weeks (although haven’t had it done since November due to a combination of being ill/lack of bothered ness to contact hairdresser). Am going next Saturday!

I used to have the occasional hair cut and colour.
Then DH and I sat down and had a discussion we both work in senior (in his case very senior) management roles earning good money, why shouldn't I indulge myself a bit.
Nails - £360 for 8 sets of gels (loyalty plan)
Hair - cut and colour every 10 weeks £122
Hair - straighten twice a year -£210.

Themildannnoyanceofsmaug · 06/04/2023 10:28

Nothing.

But that's not a boast. I'm just a massive control freak with little spare money 😉

AngelsWithSilverWings · 06/04/2023 10:31

Hair cut every 7 weeks £55
Highlighted every 6 weeks £50

Nothing else

Used to get nails done regularly and eyelashes tinted and occasionally lifted but since the pandemic when I got used to not having that stuff done I've only had my nails done once and that was just because I booked a mother and daughter spa day as a treat for my teenager.

Pseudonamed · 06/04/2023 10:34

Half head highlights x 4 times a year
Botox x 3 times
Lash lift every 8-10 weeks

moonriverandme · 06/04/2023 10:35

Every 6 weeks: Hair cut & foils blow dry. £40

Every 6 weeks: Henna Brows £20

Every 3 weeks: Gel nails removal & reapplcation £27

Namechangeforthis189 · 06/04/2023 10:36

I have 24 inch hair extensions, I love the way they look but the maintenance is eye watering. £150 every 8-10 weeks to move the wefts back up to the root and £140 colour every 8 weeks.

I used to get my nails and lip filler done but decided to sacrifice that for hair appointments. I am tempted to try Botox though.

I do still get tattooed a lot though if that counts. Usually around once every 6-8 weeks.

SalviaDivinorum · 06/04/2023 10:37

Hair cut and colour every 8 weeks - about £120

Nothing else

Pedicure every month £20 and eyebrows a couple of times a year £15. Cut my own hair- slight wave manageable. Blend in greys with plantur shampoo- £30 every three months. Don’t show your husband!
