How much do you spend...

Re: How much do you spend…

O.M.G…you spend a LOT! You mentioned you go 2x/month for threading…so they charge you $40 for eyebrows and upper lip threading!!! Is this in the U.S.? You spend around $3800 each year on nails, massages, and facials!!! That’s like 2 international week long vacations a year for me and my fiance!

Below is my routine:

  1. Eyebrow threading: $3 charge + I leave $2 tip each time = $5 total; I go every 2-3 weeks. For rest of my face I use Nair (if I get anything else threaded other than eyebrows, I break out).

  2. Massage: LOL…I get one like once every 6 months. There is a local massage school that charges $30/hr for full body massage for their interns. And since they do it for “school credit”…they’re not allowed to accept tips. :slight_smile: Most cities have massage schools that offer similar programs. Otherwise, I roll out my back using foam rollers.

  3. Facial: Thanks to my chemical peels and Retin-A…I haven’t had a facial in over a year. My skin hasn’t needed it. But when I used to go…I went to a local Vietnamse salon that charged $45 for an hour long facial and I used to go once every 3-4 months.

  4. Waxing: I invested $ on laser hair removal on my legs and underarms 3 years ago.

  5. Nails: I do my own at home. The only time I get it done professionally is when I’m attending weddings.
