Women out there! How much do you spend on average for hair, makeup, nails, facials etc a month?

[Anonymous]

$300/yr on hair ($50 cut every two months)
$100/yr on makeup (Bare Minerals)
$70/yr on pedicures (that's about 2 with tip)
$50/yr on shampoo and conditioner (l'oreal grocery store type)
$40/yr on hair product (salon brands)
$25/yr on sunscreen (wear almost daily)
Comes out to about $50 per month. Once my kids get older and I can spare the obscene amount of time it takes to get highlights my hair budget will jump to $900/yr. I don't think I'm high maintenance, and you probably wouldn't either if you met me, but I do try to look good.

I'm the PP with the $75 haircut (not incl tip). Where are you all getting your hair cut for $45-$50? I'd love to switch!

$200 every 6 weeks for cut and color to cover greys
$70 per month for eyebrow wax (otherwise have unibrow)
$70 per bikini wax, once a month in summer, maybe every other month other months
Don't do mani, but every other month get pedi for $40
Makeup, I don't wear much but use Bobbi brown, Laura mercier, etc., I had to restock everything last year because my kids played in it and destroyed it all, cost me $700 for all makeup, brushes, etc. super bummer, I was so pissed
Shampoo, I like kerastase which now CVS sells I wait until I get emailed a 20% off purchase cvs coupon and buy, so it's like $100 4 times a year
I use creme la mer at night, so $300 every other month. I use oil of olay with SPF for daytime, so that's like $50 a year.

My hormones went nuts after having children, and now I need laser hair removal on my face 4 times a year, $300 a pop.

$90 haircut every 3-5 months. Plus tip.

Thats it. Nothing else.

I'm in my late 30's, not late 20's.

Nails-$85/month
Makeup- maybe $40
Facials- $0, need to start

I get a haircut every month - $40.

I have very nice skin and I don't need to cover up much. I use Olay regenerist products as well. I also do all other treatments at home - waxing, facials, mani-pedi etc. I make my own wax also for arms, legs and underarms. I thread my own eyebrows as well. I make my own scrub and face packs.

I also do my own brazilian waxing - using a kit that costs me around $20 every 3-4 months.

Have you thought of trying threading for your eyebrows? so much cheaper and much easier on the sking.

On a monthly basis, I spend nothing on makeup, hair, nails or facials.

Once a year, during Clinique Bonus Time, I buy ONE thing, for $30 or whatever their minimum is, and then I get free stuff with that. I only use the mascara and lipsticks though.

I've never had a facial. In June I got a manicure and it was the first one in 2013 and 2014. I got a pedicure in June too. I usually get one pedicure once or twice a year.

I generally get one haircut each year at the Paul Mitchell academy, so it costs less than at a regular salon. Sometimes I skip a year or two.

How much do they charge and do you need to make an appointment?

I have, but can't find any place convenient to where I live. It really sucks with my hormones, I've had everything checked, I just have really dark hair, and now it seems to be on my face, chin, brows, etc.

Not much. $50 haircut twice a year. $6-8 boxes of hair dye every six weeks or so. Big bottles of salon conditioner/shampoo a few times a year. Cover Girl makeup when it needs replacing. Olay moisturizer and BB cream, facial cleanser from the drugstore. I don't do manis or pedis, but I do paint my toenails weekly. So I don't spend much. I've always been low-maintenance.

Probably $250.

If you need a bunch of artificial intervention to look "pretty," you probably weren't that pretty to begin with. Or, when you take the mask and fakeness off.

I spend more on a gym membership, or running shoes & workout things than I do on "beauty" things. I'd venture I look better without any makeup and going for a run, than some of these ladies who spend hundreds of dollars a month on hair and makeup.

If you need a lot of spackle all over your face and face haircolor, first PP, you're ugly. Some of us were actually born with pretty features and nice hair.
