I was just wondering how much do you ladies spend on beauty treatments like; hair cuts & dyes, waxes, facials, mani padis etc. Or do you guys prefer to do it yourself?

I do abit of both. I recently grew my brows out and I am talking full on bushes and got the done professionally. Brows is something I just can not do myself, they always end up super uneven. When it comes to nails I usually do it myself but it is nice to have someone else do them.

Im a total diy beauty girl including haircuts lol. 
I do enjoy getting stuff done but it just fits in my budget better to do things myself if I can.

I'm pretty lucky that I can do most of my own treatments as I'm a beauty therapist...lolz, even electrolysis! But, it is so nice to sit back and get treatments by someone else...thats a relaxation must ????

I'm definatley more of DIY type girl when it comes to beauty treatments.  I used to spend a fortune on my hair keeping it a really light blonde but I grew that out so thats that cost gone :)....I would love to do the manicure thing but my nails are terrible I never want to get them done I just like to keep them tidy and polished. 

Pedicures eek !! -  I cant stand people touching my feet so that one is out for me lol :)

Definitely DIY, except for stuff like skincare, I'll spend as much as I have to to make my skin look amazing. Planning a facial day with my Mum in a month or so that I'm so excited for.

I've only ever been to a beauty therapist for my brows, I get them waxed about twice a year and tidy them up myself inbetween. I really dont like people touching my face so a facial would freak me out I think!  I do have some training in basic manicures so do that myself. I get my bangs cut ever 4-5 weeks and a good trim probably every 4 months and thats pretty much it. Probably $150ish a year, so not really that much  :)

whe I lived down south I had friends in the right places but now I have to pay in Aucks, grrr.

Got out of the habit of waxing but $40-60 seems the go.

Hair I pay about $25-$35 for a cut and dye it myself.

Pedi is about $35 a time. I go every few weeks; it's my relaxation time.

Facial threading is about $27 a time, and I go when it needs it - every 2 ish months.

Tan I do myself.

Mani a couple times a year @ $20 a time

I spend $70 per month on face waxing and eye brow and eye lash dying  - worth every cent :) I still have the nightmare memory of cutting and dying my own hair when I was poor - yikes! ironically now I don't dye and am working towards never getting it cut .

I'm pretty much a DIYer too - wax and colour at home.  There is something pretty special about going to a beauty therapist though - wish I could afford to do it all the time :)

DIY all the way! Cut and colour my own hair, do my own nails/brows/eyeslash tinting etc. I prefer to spend the money I save on makeup, tehe.

I have cut down on what I spend on beauty treatments. I do my nails myself, and prefer to spend money on face masks for at home rather than facials. I do my brows myself and I spend $140 every 8-10 weeks on my hair. xx

Chelsea I LOVE your new profile piccy! First time I've seen it, you look gorgeous xx

I'm totally DIY with beauty treatments, except for haircuts. That's once a year though, and the last few times I've been lucky enough to win a session or get a good GrabOne voucher.
