Short hair gets a dry cut every 6 weeks or so to keep it in shape and I take care of my own finger and toenails. No make up, just slap on some moisturiser morning and night.
I can't abide being "messed about with" so the notion of having a facial, getting gel nails done or laminated eyebrows makes me run for the hills.

Just a hair cut by a friend every three months or so. She has been cutting it for me for over 40 years, I dread the time she finally stops doing it and I have to find someone else!

Hair as and when, only a cut and blow dry, as I’ve embraced the grey. Manicure and gel polish every 4/5 weeks. Podiatrist every 6 weeks. Ages since I’ve had a proper Spa day and facial (Seaham Hall) but I’m considering reflexology FGT.

Haircut once a year, no more hair dyes, no makeup, jewelry or new clothes. I am re-Tired every day.

Haircut every 5 or 6 weeks.

Eyebrows when I feel like it. I dye them at home.

A facial on high days and holidays. And birthdays.

I used to have pedicures, nowadays I take my time and do it all at home, it’s relaxing. Never paint my fingernails.

Every 6 months professional teeth clean, expensive now.

Hair not ha!

Also, which I forgot, the three or four times a year, day spa.

I’ve also been in the past, checked into Randal’s (once) Champney’s (a good few times) and hotels with spas.

Have you been to The Lifehouse?

Hair trimmed regularly by my d.I.l.
Facial occasionally - along with head and neck massage
Pedicure (can’t bend now to cut my toe-nails )
Eyebrows plucked, shaped and dyed every couple of months
I do my own finger-nails, usually pearly pink

Regular manicure and pedicures (toes and fingers must match year round)

Eyebrow waxing, lash and brow dye every six weeks.

Hair cut and colour every 6-8 weeks

Facial every couple of months.

Oh dear, I really am rather high maintenance…

Same here GG13
I once added up the cost per year and was horrified. Then shrugged and carried on, deciding “I’m worth it”. 😁

Add in a full body massage twice in 3 months (expensive at £55 a pop) and mid June I’m booked in for reflexology (same price) my most favourite treatment out of them all.

I'm quite low maintenance! Haircut around every 6 weeks; no colouring anymore, I've embraced the grey.

Pedicure a few times from May - Sept, no manicures since I like may nails bare.

I did treat myself to a facial with laser treatment in April, and I loved it, and will re-book again in a few months.

No other treatments or injections.

Har cut and coloured as and when, nails and feet manicure/pedicure.

Occasional facial, more frequent full body massage.

I have my hair done every 6 weeks cut and roots also eyebrow wax at the same time. Pedicure every six weeks or so with a manicure sometimes. Steam facial and shoulder & face massage probably 4 or 5 times a year, more if my eustation tubes are blocked this relieves the pressure.

My daughter trims my hair now and then but that’s it I take of my own ‘beauty’ 😂 with various creams and such.

Jaxjacky Tue 19-May-26 20:48:36

Hair cut by my friend, probably four times a year, that’s it.

kittylester Tue 19-May-26 20:44:52

I have hair appointments every six weeks - alternate ones are highlights. I have a pedicure every 6 weeks or so but that is all.

What do you have?

I wonder whether I don't think i am worth the cost and attention or am I just content with myself. What else should I consider?
