Regular beauty treatments - are any of you high maintenance women?

Just wondering if any mumsnetters regularly visit beauticians/therapists et al to look good.

Who does the most of this kind of stuff and what do you get done?

I use to get a microdermabrasion once a month costing £45.00 and a collagen mask costing another £40.00. But I havent been for about 10 months as I cant get there with three dc, but youngest starts playgroup in september so will be back in a shot.

But just probably once every six weeks for some sort of facial.

I used to get my eyebrows waxed pre kids but now I pluck them myself.

Only thing I have done is my hair and thats just a cut.

Everything else is done by me.

I'd love to but I think I'd feel a bit embarrassed. Not sure why but places like beauty salons/hairdressers always make me feel a bit inferior. I do get my eyelashes tinted before my hols and swear I'll keep it up when I get back from holiday but never do.

I have a facial every 6 weeks or so, usually get my lashes tinted at the same time. Also get my hair cut and highlighted every 6-8 weeks at home. Does that make me high maintenance ? round here that is positively low maintenance !

Budababe · 20/06/2007 21:32

Would love to be hign maintenance but usually end up being emergency maintenance!

Have har cut and coloured. Colour done (roots) every 6 weeks.

Waxing - should be every 5/6 weeks but is usually longer - had it done day before yesterday though.

Pedicures - try for every 2 weeks in summer.

Manicures - twice a year?

Facials - once a year but would love more often - just need to organise!

Hideehi · 20/06/2007 21:33

I have hair washed and blow dried once a fortnight, extentions tightened every 6 weeks, nails hands and toes done once a month and a leg and hollywood wax every month.
I used to be the wash and go type.

Furball · 20/06/2007 21:33

hair cut, eyelash tint and leg wax every 6 weeks.

Pannacotta · 20/06/2007 23:02
