How often do you do these things?
Saw this on MM and thought it was interesting, so I'm re-posting it here.
How often do you:
Get a manicure?
Get a pedicure?
Get your hair cut?
Get your hair colored or highlighted?
Get a massage?
Get a facial?
Re: How often do you do these things?
Get a manicure? 2-3 times a year.
Get a pedicure? Same as above.
Get your hair cut? Every 2-3 months.
Get your hair colored or highlighted? I've never done either of these, and am the only person I know of who hasn't.
Get a massage? Never. I don't like to be touched that much and am very ticklish. It would be torture for me. I can barely stand when they scrub my feet while getting a pedicure.
Get a facial? Never. I had acne problems as a teenager and am terrified a facial would somehow cause my skin to break out.
How often do you:
Get a manicure? rarely, only for a big occasion. However, I give myself a manicure once a week.
Get a pedicure? even more rare than a manicure! I do my own pedicure every month or two though.
Get your hair cut? usually averages out to every 4 months
Get your hair colored or highlighted? highlighted about every 4 months
Get a massage? I've never gotten one
Get a facial? never gotten one of these either
Ditto actually. I still have a lot of acne/skin problems and know there's a lot out there saying facials can help, but I'm just too terrified to test that out on my skin!
Get a manicure?--1-2x/yr... used to be more when I had 'nails'... but thought I'd save $600/yr by not doing this...
Get a pedicure?-same as above... just lazy.
Get your hair cut? every 8-12 weeks...
Get your hair colored or highlighted? I DIY it about every 4-6 wks--fortunately, dark brown is all I need to get
Get a massage? 1-2x/yr-unless the chiro says I need it-otherwise, the other times are just for fun
Get a facial? I just got one this summer---otherwise, I don't.
Me, too-had one this summer especially for rosacea, but nothing too clinical. Will be heading to the dermatologist next month and hope that helps!
I did 2 rounds of Acutane in high school and that was the only thing that worked for me. Who knows what kind of damage it did to my liver.
I'm stopping bcp when my pack runs out next month and I'm really curious to see how my face reacts.
How often do you:
Get a manicure?- My second one ever was for the wedding. So close to never.
Get a pedicure?- First one ever for the wedding. But I wish I could get more.
Get your hair cut?- When ever it starts getting unruly, so about once every couple months.
Get your hair colored or highlighted?- No
Get a massage?- Never had one.
Get a facial?- I may do a mask on myself but other than that never.
It's different for everyone obviously, but my skin has actually been better off bcp. It feels like it's "normalizing," if that makes any sense. But, then again, I think bcp played a role in my skin getting worse in my 20s. You'll probably have an adjustment period, but hopefully you don't have any bad reactions!
How often do you:
Get a manicure? Never or DIY.
Get a pedicure? Never or DIY.
Get your hair cut? I cut my own hair about once every two months.
Get your hair colored or highlighted? I dye my own hair about once every two or three months.
Get a massage? Never.
Get a facial? Never.
Wow. I am boring.
Get a manicure?
It used to be 2 x's a month, but I've stopped, last one was a gift from M, so now it will probably be hardly ever.
Get a pedicure?
Only if it's a gift, I've only had 2 in my whole life, one on our honeymoon and one was a gift from M a couple weeks ago. Other than that, hardly ever.
Get your hair cut?
Aside from the 2 x's I've got my hair cut in the last 2 years, I almost never cut my hair at all.
Get your hair colored or highlighted?
When I want to color my hair I do it myself. Depends on my mood.
Get a massage?
Never, unless M offers to give me one.
Get a facial?
Never.
The only thing I do on there is a hair cut every 2 months and a color at home every 6 weeks.
I guess I get manis and pedis when I'm in weddings, and thats been constantly lately but thats really the only time. I'd love to get a massage but its one of those things I would be too cheap to do.
Get a manicure? Never had one. I don't DIY them often, I hate the way chipped polish looks and I'm too lazy to paint every week. I just buff them to keep em shiny.
Get a pedicure? Never had one. DIY every few months.
Get your hair cut? I trim my own when the ends get ugly, about once every few months. When it was short, I cut it all the time.
Get your hair colored or highlighted? I used to DIY a lot, but now that I have highlights, I go about 3 times a year and get it cut then if needed.
Get a massage? Never had one.
Get a facial? Never had one (I'm also scared of acne aftermath!)
It's ok Karrey, we're boring together!
Get a manicure? Maybe 3x a year
Get a pedicure? 6x a year.
Get your hair cut? every 3 months
Get your hair colored or highlighted? every 3 months
Get a massage? I've only gone twice
Get a facial? I've only had one. I'd like to go more often.
How often do you:
Get a manicure? Guess I'm the odd ball on this one, but I get them done every other week. Not "done" like in fake nails, but just filed & polished. I used to bite my nails excessively but after the fake nails for the wedding I just let them grow. This is the only way I keep myself from biting them.
Get a pedicure? Only in NY when it's mani & pedi for $15 days. But otherwise it's mega expensive and I'd rather just do it myself.
Get your hair cut? About every 2 months.
Get your hair colored or highlighted? I'd like to never do it, but every now & then DH will say, you should highlight your hair to be blonder (when we first started dating I had really light blonde highlights). Now it's just way to expensive for me to entertain the idea, plus it takes forever!
Get a massage? Only for VERY special occasions, had a scrub before the wedding, and DH gave me a gift certificate for our 1 year dating anniversary, but otherwise I would not pay for one for myself.
Get a facial? The only time was when DH gave me that gift certificate. It was a combo facial/massage. Would not do it again, I'll just buy an Avaha mud mask and do it myself.
How often do you:
Get a manicure? Most likely once every three weeks, unless an event is coming up then I go in sooner.
Get a pedicure? Only specialy occassions or vacations to the beach.
Get your hair cut? Every three months, I'm a slacker!
Get your hair colored or highlighted? Same time as my hair cuts so every three months.
Get a massage? Never experienced!
Get a facial? Again, never experienced.
How often do you:
Get a manicure? a few times a year, not as often as I use to in college
Get a pedicure? during the summer - once ever two weeks, during the winter, almost never unless I have somewhere special to go.
Get your hair cut? It's been months since my last hair cut because I'm letting it grow out but if my hair is short I have to go atleast once a month to keep the style.
Get your hair colored or highlighted? never
Get a massage? my bf and I go for our birthday every year. Her's in in Jan and my is in June so atleast every 6 months. Wish I could go more but it's too pricey.

Get a facial? Never! I have had a few in my lifetime, but they always make me break out!
Get a manicure? Never. I used to do it bi-weekly. Now it's an easy cost to cut. I do it myself.
Get a pedicure? See above.
Get your hair cut? A couple of times a year. I should do it more, but, again, it's an easy cost to cut.
Get your hair colored or highlighted? Never. I used to color it myself monthly with 100% color (red) or feria (blonde). I went back to blonde from read a couple of years ago and have since gone back to my natural color (darker blonde)
Get a massage? It's a good things spas are expensive, or I would be an addict. I have had 3-4 massages in my life. About once a year for the past few years. And half of those were gifts.

Get your hair cut? maybe twice a year - I'm awful about this
Get your hair colored or highlighted? I stopped a few years back but every once in awhile I get a hankering for some obnoxious colored highlight
Get a massage? I've had one for my neck and shoulders. I get nasty knots there and I look like quasimodo.
Get a facial? A group of us used to go to the cosmo. schools and get them but they constantly broke my face out so I stopped.

Get your hair cut? Not enough. Probably about twice a year, but that may increase now that I am dying it.
Get your hair colored or highlighted? Every 2 1/2 - 3 months
