What beauty maintenance that you haven’t been able to do since Stay At Home, are you going to do first?

I’m just curious, are you doing at home hair coloring? Stripped your nails of the gels and tried it DIY? How about atttempting your own haircut?! (GASP!)
I think by now we all have the selfcare down on skincare. We’ve tried exfoliating, detoxifying, moisturizing, and firming masks and our skin is either irritated to hell for all the attention it’s finally getting or saying “thank you” for finally thinking of your skin! My skin is thrilled! The rest of me, not so much.
My nails have never looked worse. I typically do the Dip for my nails because I can go three weeks and never have to think about it. And a big reason is I have a nail that splits vertically and no matter what I do it keeps on splitting unless I have gel or Dip nails. And yes, I’ve tried countless options from vitamins to super glue and everything in between. Nothing works.

But then there’s the continuous bad hair day…
My haircut appointment was set for mid March and my hair was dying for that cut after 10 weeks. Now I’m crossing my fingers the May 5th date I have set doesn’t get delayed. I think I may go crazy putting it in a ponytail once again. And then there’s the hair color. Yikes! That too was supposed to be my 8 week color in mid March and now I don’t even have an appointment set and can’t make one till they re-open. I may have to bribe someone to get in, because this zig-zag parting of my hair just isn’t cutting it! I’m nervous to try DIY hair coloring for fear of a job so bad there’s a point of no return!

Maybe the best part of this is everyone is going to have fabulous and full brows and your hairstylist will probably get the biggest tip you’ve ever given them!
I’d love to hear what your first beauty maintenance you are going to do once you are able!
- Haircut
- Nails
- Hair color
- Facial
- Massage
- Brows
- Botox
What’s first up for you? Mine is nails for sure!
Haircut and color, then mani/pedi. I do my brows myself and there’s not that much there to deal with, anyway. (Ugh…Thank you disco brows!)
Your ponytail is cute, Kari!
Haven’t colored my hair in years, other than using a color depositing conditioner that makes the white/gray streaks pink or purple, but MAN I need a haircut. Dug out some old scrunchies, but it just isn’t the same. My feet are in dire need of a pedicure too. Things have gotten ugly, tbh.
I’m pretty low maintenance, but I do miss the very few services I get.
Haircut! A massage sounds pretty good right now too.
Hello from San Francisco!
First order of business is Botox and then a Haircut.
I’m pretty self-sufficient on the other items, nails, Hair color, Facial (I do my own chemical peels at home), Massage (I do yoga and use a foam roller). I’m all set otherwise!
Admittedly, I’m an only child and an introvert, I’m completely happy as a clam to self-isolate.
1. Massage, if my therapist is still not on maternity leave 2. My facial peel. I paid for a package deal with the aesthetician at my dermatologist. 3. Possibly haircut. I am liking my longer hair. Not too long. Definitely bang trim plus i miss the gossip session. 4. Not sure. I have been having manicures and pedicure and I think i need to change my place. Issues with nails. But 100% MASSAGE and FACIAL.
I hope you can get them all soon! 🙂
You’re so lucky to be self-sufficient on so much. I had a bad experience with color once and will never do again!
I am feeling you on the massage right now. Ugh the tension in my neck!
You are so lucky you don’t need to color your hair! I’m truly jealous.
Aww thanks! I hope you can get your services soon! 🙂
