How frequent should one pamper oneself?

As often as you want girlfriend!
If it was up to me id go every week for a manicure and pedicure.. but of course it would burn a serious hole in my pocket

i go to the hairdressers every 4-6 weeks for a haircut and colour
pedicure.. once every few months, but i usually do it myself at home
and manicure i used to get them done every 2 weeks when i had fake acrylic nails...
but now i do it myself at home

Thanks Neek for replying my post the thing is I just had a manicure and pedicure few hours ago, I never have any before in my life but a few months ago I just started going to spa, manicure and pedicure. The thing is I don't want to go too often because as you said it will burn a hole in the pocket. But it's kinda great to have someone 'pamper' you kinda of feeling previously I thought that having a manicure and pedicure is only to beautify one's nail but now I know it actually for hygenic purposes. Besides I think I am hooked will it be a permanant habit or otherwise?

i realy do that for my self in home too and with time u will practic it and used to do it in short time and try to enjoy it hart but iam talkin about a manicure and pedicure not talkin about hair cut or change my hair colour

I had my haircut again this afternoon but toward the end of the service the hairdrstylist was quiock to point to me that there is a spot that is having a lesser hair, he then blamed it on the previous hair stylist (I had it cut a very days before but I was satisfy with it). Arghhhhhh! I hate it. I don't know who to blame.

I've actually never had any of it done before. I've never had a manicure/pedicure, I've never been to a spa, and I just get my hair cut at like ten dollar places every couple of months. I kind of wish I did treat myself every now and then.

you know i dont do this near enough. I should go for a massage once a month or so but i really think that it depends on the stress level. if you need to relax more often go for it. I think that you should be pampered as much as possiblem. I only get my hair cut once every 3 months or so--that is when i can find the time. Im usually too busy--but i should make time for it

if i could do all of those thinsg everyday i would! LOL
i think if you want to then go ahead honey! you are an awsome mom,wife and a hard working woman! you deserve it!!!!!!!

Thanks the_girlfriend, I thought about that too and as what Neek said the other day 'it will burn a hole in my pocket'. The other day I went back to have my pedicure done only after 4 days, the lady there asked me why? So I said it was because my feet are sore from wearing a new shoe, she had the rough skin 'shaved' the amount of the dead skin was so much that she and I was shocked! Anyway she told me not to come so soon about 3 weeks to a month for a pedicure. Thanks hun, you've always been so kind.

I am a licensed cosmotologist. A great way to save and still get your pampering in is to go to the beauty school in your area. It is somewhat less expensive and you would enjoy it as much as going to a shop. Usually the students are very attentive and they have instructors who supervise, and give student credit for work done. If you are not satisfied with work done by a student or for that matter a professional, just tell them and they will usually work to fix the problem. AT the school an instructor will usually step in to help if student is experiencing difficulty. I recommend pampering at home as well as by the professionals. Read up on beauty treatments and watch the person giving them to you and try it at home. Do not allow someone to shave your feet with a blade that is illegal and dangerous. Using a pumice type device is ok. Use a scrub on your feet at home and slather with lotion or vaseline, stick your feet in some socks overnight, you will be amazed at how soft your feet will be. Have fun

Thanks maryprelle I did know about shaving the feet is illegal. Here it is used with a tool and for medical reason my mother and mother in law who have corn on their feet have that then too that by a medical profession. Thanks for the tip about going to the beauty school. One of my friend had her hair done there to she didn't pay anything, it's a great way to save to thanks again. I guess the next time she's going there I'll tag along.

It depends on what your trying to maintain I guess. I have a mani/pedi every other week, hair cut every 6 weeks, highlights every 3-4 months, bikini wax every 3-4 weeks, and a massage and facial once a month.

Sorry but I've not have a bikini wax before is it painful?

I don't get haircuts as often as I should. God, I love getting my hair washed for me... Mmm. I think the recommendation is once every three months or so...lol I never get them that often. Maybe two a year!!!

Pedicures and manicures are great too XD But some people have very sensitive feet and can't deal with pedis. My mom is one of them. It is TORTURE to her!!

By the way, that's me in my new icon!!!

im not a big fan of anyone touching my feet

but i love getting my hair deep conditioned. THAT feels awsome

also not a big fan of messages. the last one i had felt likt the lady was beating the crap out of me

eiri thats YOU ahh ive nvr seen a picture of you before! its so small i can barely see it

You saw me in the yellow/purple/blue "Shenanigans" icon!!

THAT WAS YOUUU??!?!?!?!?

Yes!! XD lol. I know, goody facial expression!!
