a thread for vain people

this morning I went and got a beauty treatment and it was so delightful and normal. No masks no mimsying. Just some hand sanitiser.

on thursday I shall go and get my hair done but I fear he will want me to wear a mask and when I say technically am exempt he might be furious

I just had a mani/pedi and didn’t wear a mask (Although beautician did). Also had my haircut last week and neither of us wore masks. And the bonus was all treatments were in the comfort of my home (not for lockdown/fear reasons but because baby). Annoying that I had to cancel facial treatments tho. Massage booked on Wednesday (also at my home) and I don’t intend to wear a mask then either (I suspect that the masseuse will, although not at my request)

It’s not vain it’s self Care and I LOVE IT

mani / pedi this morning and it was a lovely experience (despite mask, but mine is a linen one and it was actually quite comfortable for the duration to the point I didn’t feel like it was there).

no coffee there ofc but I read my magazine and delighted in the experience. I had 2 ingrown toenails which I’ll add to the list of corona costs 

am now at the hair salon getting my keratin treatment done and a cut. It’s a mask here and everything is single use - towels and gowns so it’s a bit grim and not fun for environment but I love my hairdresser. Will be my first time back on the tube to get home later as they have expanded and he is at tbe new branch in hampstead

 

I cut it myself in lockdown

then I got a cut and colour and regretted the cut

today is cut and keratin

i remain nevilles hairsdresser 😂🤣

all my friends are getting their hair done this week, it’s been fun spotting other hair rebels on large zoom calls 

I agree re self care, bad grooming is a sign of being unwell and it was horrible to ban it

And totally re the environment. Imagine what all those billions of single use things will do for the sea :(

Ps re the hand sanitiser he didn't make you use it it was just there if you wanted

I am in love with my pragmatic Glaswegian aesthetician

Injecty stuff? 
 

It’s my eyebrow threading  I want done more than anything as they can def transform my face to something better but maybe I’ll just stick some pins in between them and go for a youthful startled look. 

Waxing booked for end of the month. Hair this weekend. Have doled out on skincare for myself anyway and my eyebrows seem to just never grow, so that saves a bit....

You could literally see where my team inc me was at in terms of their mental health in lockdown with hair / dress / make up etc.

it all got a bit sad and then someone just turned up for our team meeting looking nice and normal and weve all sorted ourselves out a bit and it’s a lot more enjoyable
