[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am vain; I will eat ramen noodles, drive a used car, wear thrift store clothes, but I will go every month for a trim/highlight/blow out (about $200 to include tip, sometimes products) and manicure & pedicure every two weeks (about $150).

No apologies and I’d spend my last few bucks on this self-care - so relaxing and enjoyable for me.[/quote]

I agree.  My hair is important to me.  I can't believe some people are so cheap.[/quote]

I used to be this way.  My hair was the one thing I would splurge on because it was the one thing I wore every day, so  I was going to the most expensive people in the nicest salons.  Then two things happened.  One is that I have a teen with super curly hair that doesn't trust most stylists, so she started cutting her own.  Two is the pandemic, and it was so hard to get appointments, I gave up and started cutting and coloring my own.  Then I decided I could not actually tell the difference between what I did and what the stylist was doing.  I've been watching the stylists for years, so I basically know what they were doing, and I mocked it.  I get compliments all the time on my haircut -- it's just not that hard to cut shoulder length hair with some layers and angles.  I do splurge on expensive conditioner and hair care products, though -- that, along with a good blow-dryer and styling tool, seems to make more difference for me than the cut.  It's not even about the money for me -- it's more about the inconvenience of having to make an appointment, take time off work on one of the few days that my stylist works, get up there, get parking, sit there for two hours, etc.  Whereas I can do it in my bathroom whenever I have a spare hour and watch TV or answer emails while the color sets.

I am right there with you - my solution was a mobile stylist who cuts mine and my daughter's hair in one go (150 including generous tip for all three of us) .  But if she every quits you might have just convinced me to buy an air wrap and give it a go.  I cut my own hair during covid but it was a multi- day affair of tweaking it, but at least ican do that on my own schedule.  [/quote]
