To ask what beauty treatments you pay for?

[sunmonlight]

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?

Nothing. We became rather skilled at haircuts during lockdown, so all hair maintenance is kept in house.

Just a hair cut every 6 - 8 week, £35, works fine for me.

Hair cut every 8-10 weeks ish and highlights twice a year. That's it.

Nail acrylics, infilled every 3 weeks £30
Hair cut and colour every 5 weeks £100

I love make up and take great pride in my appearance, so spend a fair amount on make up and clothes. I also think it's good for my mentality.

I wouldn't say yours is excessive at all!

Gel nails every 3 weeks £35
massage and cupping every 3 weeks £55
alternate months between micro needing £40 and Hydrafacial £50 (discounted rate)
hair every 5 weeks, scalp beach and tone £90
botox every 3 months 3 areas £180

I have my own at home laser but considering if it doesn’t work getting it done professional

skin + me (medical grade skincare) subscription £20 a month

Nothing.

Highlights and a trim twice a year. That’s it.

Weekly blow dry, monthly cut & colour

Eyebrow micro blading every 3 years

Massage esp back exfoliation and then they rub in oil, absolute bliss.

Don't regularly wear makeup, but would take it off before sleeping anytime I do.

Most days remember to apply a drop of rose oil serum to my face and rub creme into my body after my shower.

Always apply foot creme before putting on socks.

L'occitane almond shower oil and whatever their matching exfoliant is called.

Botox. That's it.

Everything else I do myself. Shame I can't do my own Botox

Haircut 3x a year. Nothing else.

Botox 3/4 times a year

A new hyaluronic acid booster injections in face, neck & chest

Facials

That is all I do. I should really get my nails done again but I’m going through a phase of preferring life without them at the moment x

Nothing. But I can’t afford and I hate people faffing with me. Ideally I’d like to get my brows done (microbladed) as they’re tragic but 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ve never been to the hairdresser since I was 16 though. I do that at home.

A hair cut once every few years (long curly hair, trim myself usually), otherwise nothing.

Hair cut about four times a year
Bikini wax once every 4-6 weeks
Manicure and/or pedicure a few times a year
Eyebrow threading once every 4-6 weeks

That's it! I’m pretty low maintenance.

Hair cut and colour 2-3 times a year. Cost about £140 each time.

I don't get my lashes, brows, nails done regularly at all. I might get my nails done if I'm going to a special occasion... Or I might just use those glue-on nails.

Hair cut and highlights every 12 weeks £100.
Do everything else myself, have an epilator, UV nail lamp.

Nails every 3 weeks
Hair cut and colour every 6-8 weeks
Brows microbladed every 10-11 months
Last lift every 6 weeks (used to have extensions every 3 weeks but don't have time any more)
I am considering regular facials but haven't started yet.
I also spend a lot of money on skincare products.

Yours isn't excessive at all and tbh, unless DP is paying for your treatments or you go into debt to have them, it is absolutely none of his business.

Hair coloured every 12 weeks and cut twice a year. Nothing else.

Hair cut and highlighted every 2-3 months, though I didn't have the highlights last time. That's it. I'm low maintenance.

I get eyebrows threaded maybe every couple of months. I get a hollywood wax maybe 4-6 times a year. I may get a haircut once or twice a year (otherwise I do it myself).

Otherwise, I have an epilator for legs/arms/pits, and an IPL to zap hairs (I have really dark hair and PCOS - great combo). I colour my own hair when I can be bothered. I've got a Sensationail home gel nail kit, so I will do my own nails (occasionally though!). I put face cream/oil on when I remember. I rarely wear makeup. I would like to get my lashes done, so they look a bit longer/thicker, but wouldn't know where to start with that!!!

It's only been in the last couple of years that I've figured that a little bit of self care isn't a bad thing, so I feel less guilty getting a wax or eyebrows threaded. I'm single (and plan to stay single) so no one will ever see my bits (unless I'm in a medical appointment or carted off to hospital!), but I feel better in myself getting waxed and getting threaded.

Hair cut when I can be bothered. Don't have the patience for anything else!!

It’s quite sporadic for me - a leg/bikini wax & nails done before I go on holiday.
Nails done if going to a wedding.
Family member is a hairdresser, so she does my hair a few times a year.
That’s about it.

Unless he’s paying it not his business.

Mobile hairdresser trim 4 times a year £20 each.
Spa day with full body massage 3 times a year about £150 each.

No nails done at the moment because I'm having a caesarean in a few weeks, but normally shellac every three weeks for 40 euro.
Haircut every 7 weeks, about 60 euro.
Colour every 2 months, 90 euro.
Occasional 'treat' treatment a few times a year 80 - 150 euro a time. My next one is in the Merrion Hotel in Dublin, so quite fancy.
I get eyebrows and upper lip done when I remember - about 30 euro.
Don't bother doing leg waxing much, maybe 3 times a year. So I suppose that's 50 euro a time.
