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

[ChattyChai]

I’m 39, turning 40 at the end of the year.

My husband thinks I’m being ridiculous with what I spend, but we can afford it comfortably and it makes me feel good.

I spend £42 every 3-5 weeks on nails, and every 3 months or so an extra £15 to get my eyebrows waxed and tinted.

i spend £140 every two months on getting my hair extensions moved up, and then every 4 months an extra £77 to get my roots done.

he thinks this is silly money and an extra £110 a month we could be saving, but I work, it’s my only real splurge each month and it makes me feel great. Am I spending too much? How much do you spend?

£20 a month BIAB nails
£40 cut ant blow dry every 10 weeks

£0 because I do my own nails, hair and eyebrows

I have my nails done every 4 weeks @ £30
Toes done much less regularly but that’s £27

I have my eyebrows waxed every 6ish weeks at £7

I tint my own eyebrows.

I have my hair extensions tightened every 4-5 weeks which is £20 ( mates rates )

Colour, cut and blow dry every 6-7 weeks £95

Buying new hair extensions £400ish every 8 months.

Twice a year I have Botox at £200.

About £30 for a haircut twice a year. I've spent money in the past on highlights, waxing and facials but it doesn't add anything to my life or make me happier so why bother?

Zero

Nails are cut with nail scissors. Nothing else done to them.
No makeup, no eye brow stuff, nothing. Whole face left alone other than washing in shower with baby soap.
Zero on hair other than buying shampoo and conditioner. Cut at home with hair scissors. Not coloured, curled, straightened or anything.

I’m late forties

That said, if it makes you happy, it doesn’t seem an unreasonable use of money.

Prior to retirement, £110 every 4 weeks for trim and colour and £55 every 4 weeks, plus £75 every 3 months dental. Since retiring I spend very little as spend so much time travelling I keep changing appointments!

£200 a month hair and brows and nails

Botox every 3 months = £60pcm
Nails / toes = £40pcm
Brows = £20pcm
Lashes = £30pcm
Facial = £60pcm
Treatments = £100pcm
Skincare = £60pcm

£370pcm 🤣🤣🤣🤣

As far as I’m concerned it’s worth every penny! Am mid 40’s have worked hard for my money & I like to indulge myself!

Kids are grown up, hubby wouldn’t bat an eye about it!

Invest in yourself always!

This is so funny. Your asking if your spending too much and then now looking at doing more 🤣. I think if you can afford it and you enjoy it and it makes you feel good then you should do it !! I bet your DH spends money on stuff you think he shouldn't ?! Personally, I spend £50 every 6 weeks on hair cut and colour. I do my own nails and eyebrows.

Again.....this is NOT about nails. This about a fucking selfish man spending £££ on his golf but refusing to pay any child care costs and resenting his wife spending a fraction of what he spends.

Which Korean skincare would you recommend??

If you can afford it and it makes you feel good, ignore him.

Absolutely nothing. I haven't even had my hair professionally cut in about 6 years. I can't justify the cost for any of it. But I would like laser hair removal.

About £100 every 2-3 months in haircut. Maybe once/twice a year £70 on a massage - for pain not pleasure reasons! When ttc I also did acupuncture at £80 a week. Don’t get nails done (it’s really toxic) and tweeze my own eyebrows. Minimal make up/moisturiser etc. maybe £20 a month it averages as.

Do my own nails for Monday - Friday. That probably averages out £5 a month.
Legs are lasered with Philips lumea, that was £300 4yrs ago.
Don't do eyebrows etc.
Hair trim 4 times a year, £40 a time.
Use blue tub Nivea for skin.
Splash out on philip Kingsley elasticizer every few weeks at £20 a tube.

Just read the whole thread..I 100% agree with this.

@DappledThings

doesn’t your hair grow out of its style by about 15 weeks though? And if you colour it - what about roots?

Agree with this. I belatedly just read all the OP's posts. This sounds abusive and nothing to do with our Ndulge points balances.

@Genevieva

my hair would look terrible if I only went to the hairdressers twice a year. I’m not going to do that.

Nails £32 every three weeks, haircut £52 twice a year. I colour my hair myself and have never had anything done to my brows or lashes.

I don't know if this is an option but I've started using moyou nails. Gel stickers and a UV lamp. Feel as strong as acrylic but easy to remove and no damage x

Leg wax £20 every 6 wks
Hollywood wax £35 every 8 wks
Hair £50 every 3 months
Eyebrow threading £15 every 2 months

Nails .£25 every 3 weeks
Brow wax - £10 every 6 weeks
Aromatherapy massage - £60 every month
Hair cut every 8 weeks (every other cut with balayage) £80/£130

Cut and blow dry £5, nails ( rarely) £10. Eyebrow threading £6 . Lash lift £15.

Oh and occasional facials at £10 and massage at £5 ( abroad)

Why do you have to 'pay him back' for caring for four children - HIS children - when they were small?! That's the hardest work anyone will ever do and a fuck sight more important than poncing round a golf course. Does he have any idea how much childcare would have cost over that period?

He sounds vile OP honestly. Sorry.

Hair £12 every few weeks, I’m otherwise happy with myself as I am.
