[quote=Anonymous]I tried to develop a regular stylist when I was younger (40s now) and used to do regular nail salons visits. I'd cut back when I had kids mid-30s but then all this fell off a cliff during the pandemic.

Now I cut my own hair (I wear it in a gently layered cut a few inches past my shoulders and cut it using the viral "unicorn haircut" technique from YouTube and it's better than 90% of long haircuts I've gotten) and tend my own nails (paint them once every few months, usually before an event or vacation when I do it with my DD). I have also been using a box dye in my natural shade to cover my grays, though I'm playing with growing out the gray as it's at a point where it's a kind of multi-colored tortoise effect (brown, blonde, and gray mixed together) and I kind of like how my roots look.

I am saving thousands annually this way. Like I easily used to spend $300-400 two or three times a year for cuts and color before, plus probably another $600 annually on my nails? Then add in touch up color appointments and, when I wore my hair shorter, trims, and I was easily spending over 2k a year on my hair and nails. Now I probably spend $100 total on box dye and some home supplies for my hair and nails. I splurged on a good pair of hair scissors during the pandemic that I now use for my own hair as well as cuts for my kids.[/quote]
