Did you go to a beauty parlour before lockdown?

I go for a pedicure in summer when I want my toenails to look good in sandals! I've also had my eyebrows tinted since they began to go white!
I once had a voucher for a hot rocks massage and a facial. Lovely Christmas present but I wouldn't make it a regular thing.

I have a facial now and then. I don't think it actually improves my skin but it is a very relaxing and enjoyable process.

I think actually I look better as I have worn no makeup, not been in polluting crowds and generally had less stress.
Well, that’s what I tell myself.??

P.S.

My reasoning being that you can’t gild the lily!

In answer to OP, no, have never been to a beauty parlour. Never had a facial, or my nails or eyebrows done, anything like that.

So I still look the same as before lockdown, or maybe 3 months older!

I have never been to a beauty salon in my life, so no, I haven’t missed it
For about 15 years now I have a hairdresser who comes to my home.
I miss her and hope she is still working, unlike my cleaner who had decided to give up most of her work during lockdown and I am one of the casualties.

Apologies if this has been discussed already (I seem to have an unhappy knack of posting topics that have been thrashed out previously).
I've never had a facial, and wondered if people who used to have one regularly have noticed a decline in the condition of their skin because of the recent lack of attention from a beautician?
Have your wrinkles become deeper and more noticeable for instance, and has your face lost its tone and elasticity?
I used to have my eye lashes dyed every 5 or 6 weeks and have looked at the prices of facials and thought, although I'd love to try one, they were just a bit over the top of my budget so I've hesitated.
Have you really missed them, as people have missed a regular trim and blow-dry? Would you recommend I try one after the pandemic has ended (Please God) or are they an unnecessary luxury?
