Partner/OH doing your hair/makeup/nails

21 replies

Mymugoftea · 12/10/2023 17:33

Mine occasionally does my hair care, pampers me by applying my makeup for me and files/paints my nails. Does a superb job!

Does your OH do pampering for you?

Good lord no, he wouldn't have a clue how to start applying make up and the other things I like to do for myself. I wouldn't enjoy 'being pampered' like that.

dontforgetme · 12/10/2023 17:52

Hell no. I wouldn't trust him to do any of those things for me and I reckon he would tell me to piss off if I asked Grin

KohlaParasaurus · 12/10/2023 17:55

My DH has been cutting my hair for years, and I'm sure if I asked him to do my nails he'd learn to do it well and buy a load of kit.

TomatoSandwiches · 12/10/2023 17:56

No, he wouldn't know where to start tbh.
He does give me lovely massages and foot rubs though.

NotToYou · 12/10/2023 17:58

Definitely not. He would have no idea what to do, would have no interest in learning, and I wouldn't want him to anyway.

DH cut my hair during lockdown, I’ve had worse cuts in fairness but the bit where he forgot to set the clippers to 5 instead of 2 on the back of my head made me grateful for social distancing Grin

squashyhat · 12/10/2023 17:59

Hahahaha no.

erikbloodaxe · 12/10/2023 17:59

Yes

Colours my hair, does my brows, will shave my legs or anything I might ask him to do

mdinbc · 12/10/2023 18:02

My DH used to help cover my roots when I used home hair colour. Did it for years, and he did a pretty good job. I have since stopped colouring, and I think he was glad to be off the hook.

Fiftyvines · 12/10/2023 18:26

He shaves my undercut between hair appointments. I'm pretty sure he would do anything I asked...his mama taught him well!

Watto1 · 12/10/2023 18:29

He helped me wash and straighten my hair when my arm was in plaster but apart from that, no. I think I’d end up looking like a clown if he did my make up! 🤡

spacechimp79 · 12/10/2023 18:30

My DH is really kind and helpful so cuts my fringe if I don't have time to go to the hairdressers and also paints my finger and toe nails as he has a steadier hand than me.
I am sure he would do anything to help me if I needed. My ex DH would never have done any of these things.

Thatwouldbeme · 12/10/2023 18:31

He tried to a cut the back of my hair, after telling him and showing him how much and we're not to cut he cut it above my hair line. He does now keep on top of my undercut and does a fantastic job

DramaAlpaca · 12/10/2023 18:32

I'm sure he'd cut my toenails for me if I asked him nicely...

I cut his hair though, have done since the start of covid. He likes how I do it.

Electrictache · 12/10/2023 20:40

It's something that I find a bit icky if I'm honest. He's helped me dye my hair and did help wash it when I was in plaster but anything else wouldn't be my thing.

McQueensMuse · 12/10/2023 20:48

He's put hair colour on my roots for me and painted my nails before.
He would do whatever I asked of him I reckon amd make a damn fine job of it too.
I should make more of this I think. 🤔

looking4pup · 12/10/2023 20:49

Definitely not plus he hates feet.

JesusMaryAndJosephAndTheWeeDon · 14/10/2023 09:43

He has trimmed my hair for me in the past, but that's it. Thinking about it though I bet he'd be much better than me at nails... I could have some amazing nail art 🤔

UnconventionalLife · 14/10/2023 09:49

He would 100% if I asked him. He'd also do a good job but he'd be slower than me & I'd get frustrated.
He had trimmed my fringe for me in the past.
He's creative & has amazing attention to detail so I think he would end up doing a superb job with some practice
I cut his hair & have done since lockdown & he loves it. I like doing it for him too

Devilsmommy · 14/10/2023 09:53

Well mines cut my hair when couldn't afford to go to the hairdresser's, but the other stuff he wouldn't have a clue and I'd dread to think of the state I'd look if I let him 🤣

alrighthen · 14/10/2023 14:26

No but thanks for this idea. My OH is great at art so would probably be good at nail painting (unlike moi)
