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?

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

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

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…

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.

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

Occasional facial, more frequent full body massage.

Cossy Tue 19-May-26 21:04:46

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.

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.

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.

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

Have you been to The Lifehouse?

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.

Macaydia Tue 19-May-26 21:41:14

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

Georgesgran Tue 19-May-26 22:12:40

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.

jusnoneed Tue 19-May-26 22:30:54

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!

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.

NotSpaghetti Tue 19-May-26 23:57:56

Hairdresser 2 (or occasionally 3) times a year.

I can't seem to enjoy anyone "messing about" with me!

TwiceAsNice Wed 20-May-26 00:01:35

Hair cut every 5-6 weeks. Colour done every other appt. I have had occasional pedicures but not regularly . Haven’t had anything else for years.

Wyllow3 Wed 20-May-26 00:12:13

Haircut every 6 ish weeks.

Natural Ash blonde but thinning so good cut.
Facial - once every one or two months, and have learnt what to do from her so have the creams and exfoliant to follow what she does.

Used to eyelash dye but got blepharitis now so can't do that. Do eye exercises which do help eyelid muscles.

Do occasional facial yoga at the gym when I remember. It's good for necks. Tightens muscles that might flap, to put it in a basic way.

Hair cut and colour every eight weeks, nails every 3 to 4 weeks, toe nails when i go on holiday, facial if someone buys me a voucher for Christmas or birthday.

HelterSkelter1 Wed 20-May-26 01:49:16

Hair cut and blow dry every 8 to 10 weeks. Am quite a nice grey so no colour.
I cut my finger nails as I like them short and have started going to a podiatrist as cutting my toe nails properly is tricky now and had a slight ingrown nail.
That's it. Have been disappointed in the rare facial.
I would like to try reflexology...approx̌imately how much per session? What are the benefits you find? So another one low maintenance.

HowVeryDareYou2 Wed 20-May-26 06:31:29

I hate going to the hairdresser's, so I have it cut every few months. Manicure and gel polish every month, pedicure and gel polish once or twice a year. Make-up most days.

Bellasnana Wed 20-May-26 06:39:18

Hairdresser for a weekly wash and blow, colour every four weeks, cut whenever it gets too long.

Nails every four weeks for gel polish, toes once or twice a year.

That’s it. I don’t like spas, being massaged or having my face done, I used to have my legs waxed but no longer have any hair on them so no need any more.

BlueBelle Wed 20-May-26 06:49:12

Hair cut every 5 weeks …that’s it nothing else

ginny Wed 20-May-26 07:38:21

Hair cut and blow dry every five /six weeks. No colour.
Manicure and gel polish every three weeks. Pedicure with gel polish a few times in the summer months.
I always use cleanser , tone , moisturiser each day and eye cream each night.
I occasionally enjoy a facial and hot stone massage .
