Whats your routine?

Whats your routine for stuff like mani/pedi, eyebrows, facials etc?

Whats your routine?

I used to get manis every Sunday - i need to get back into that schedule. I've been lazy lately.

Pedis - every 3-4 weeks in warm weather. Winter, never, i'll just do my own every once in a while.

Eyebrows - i do my own, never get them done. I never get facials either.

Re: Whats your routine?

In the summer manis and pedis every 4 weeks. In the winter not many. If I have a special event I will get a mani. However, I got hurt really badly last year and giving myself a pedi is no longer possible for me. I have trouble cutting my own toe nails and my DH has to do it for me on one of my feet. I can still do the other foot. Based on this, I think I may need to go for pedis more often than I previously have. I think I will stretch it to every 6 weeks.

I only went for one facial and did not love it. I use my olay thing (similar to clairsonic) and give myself at home facials and masks though. I am happy with the condition of my skin. It has taken a long time for me to be able to say that.

The last time I had my eyebrows done was 2 years ago, and before then at my own wedding 8 years ago. I was thinking that I wanted to go back for another visit for a touch up. I pluck and maintain my own brows daily though.

Same here Chat Icon
Manis, every week; pedis every 4 weeks. On winter I only would for thanksgiving (we usually go away for the week).
Never facials nor eyebrows (I do them myself).

Manis and pedis I do myself unless I have a big event.

I get my eyebrows done every 2-3 weeks. I can never shape them properly.

Pedi at home: trim, file and Polish every 2 weeks maybe more frequent in the summer; maintain feet in the shower or dry brush, moisturizer regularly.

Mani: rarely get one or polish finger nails. Regularly maintain neatly filed nails and moisturizer

Eyebrow threading every 2 weeks

Facial: 1x a year at salon; use mask, scrub, cold cream cleanse at home every couple of weeks

Whats your routine?

before i had a baby i was much more diligent about getting things done.
now i'm lucky if i can squeeze in a facial 1x a year, but i'm still using my good products so my skin isn't that bad.
eyebrows- i go religiously 1x a month for a wax.
pedis-4-6 weeks
manis-i try to go for a quick one twice a month to keep things under control

Whats your routine?

Manis and pedis when I need them, facials never and I do my own brows.
I used to have a standing appointment for my nails every two weeks, just got tired of the routine and cost.

Mani every week. I used to get a pedi every other week but it's turned into once every third week in the summer and once a month during the winter.

Eyebrows I'm lucky-I only go once or twice a year

Re: Whats your routine?

Mani/pedi - Every week or two in the summer. Pedi- as needed in the winter or before a vacay.

Facial - Very rarely. I have a great derm so I never really need them.

Eyebrows - Once a month with a specialist tweezer gal.

Wax - I did laser - so all good Chat Icon Chat Icon

Pedi I do every 2-4 weeks (every 2 in the summer and 4 in the winter). Mani I never do, I just use clear nailtiques all the time.

Facial...just had my first one a few months ago and loved it! Now I look for deals on groupon so I'll get my second one soon and plan on doing that every 3-4 months.

I do my own eyebrows...hoping to one day get laser done on my armpits lol

I file my nails once a week. I don't get manicures. I'll do my own nails.

Pedicures-I try for once a month but lately it's been longer.

Facials-eh, maybe once a year.

Eyebrows-do my own once a week.

Re: Whats your routine?

when I start seeing roots on my hair, i think- Oh I should make an appt soon.
Then I don't.
Then a few weeks later I look in the mirror, scream, and try to get the next appt for highlights! Chat Icon

I do my own nails every Monday morning at work.

I don't get pedis anymore because I got the worst fungus and lost my big toenail 3 times in a row over it. The podiatrist banned me from getting pedis ever again.
So I have to do my own toes- in the summer maybe once a month. In the winter- yeah right.

I pluck stays from my eyebrows when I notice them. Usually in sunlight. Don't get waxed anymore. I have no time.

Facials- what's that?

I'm not really one for routines and schedules.

Isn't it funny how it sneaks up on you?
Like one day you are like, oh wow, I see a few roots, I should start thinking about scheduling a highlight.
Then you wake up the next day and it's like BAM! 6 inches of black roots! Chat Icon
Where does that come from so fast??

Re: Whats your routine?

no routine. i grow out my eyebrows as much as i can ( 2 weeks and i look like chewbaca) because 30$(w/tip) just for eyebrow threading isnt cheap.

mani i get done if i have an event, otherwise i do it myself or get it done if im walking by a place and have 30 min to spare. pedis i get done every 3-4 weeks, winter less frequesntly.

massages i get often...no routine but i had 2 in the past 3 weeks

I used to get a weekly mani and a bi-weekly pedi, but now I"m poor so I haven't gotten either in a few months.

Hair - I cut and color every 6-8 weeks.

Brows - I do these myself every two weeks or so.

Whats your routine?

Eyebrows every 6-8 weeks bc they actually grow that slowly!

Mani's/pedi's when I feel like it I usually do my own.

Highlights usually 2x a year. Hair cuts 3-4 times a year

gel mani every 2-3 weekd
pedicure 1x month
eyebrows every 2 months or so (mine are SO light and barely grow)

that's about it. Hair trim (or cut) 2-3 times per year.

pretty low maintenance :)
