“20 thousand – salary for someone, for me – a trip to the salon”

For example, I cannot go to a simple beauty salon to have my hair ends trimmed for 2 thousand rubles. And all because it seems to me that an inexperienced master works in this very salon, who will not listen to my wishes and will do everything wrong. Therefore, I am ready to spend five times more, in a salon where, in my opinion, excellent masters work, who are also trained abroad. A big plus of an expensive haircut is that styling at home is not difficult, while the hair looks perfect. I am sure there are good masters in cheap salons, but I do not want to risk my beauty, and besides, it is very difficult to find a good specialist in a budget hairdressing salon.

With staining, everything is more complicated. I am blonde and it is very expensive. The shade should not be yellow, too golden, ashy – it should be perfect. Not all colorists can dye curls in the correct shade without damaging the strands. Good staining, in my opinion, cannot cost less than 20 thousand rubles.

Facial care – in the salon for at least 10 thousand rubles. Of course, there are clinics where the services of a beautician are much cheaper. But is it worth the risk once, then for years to treat the skin of the face, as it once happened to my friend.

And here the expression “expensive is good” works.

In choosing cosmetics, I also adhere to the principle that it is better to overpay than to suffer from skin rashes later. And this applies to both beauty products and makeup products. If eyeshadow can be relatively cheap (2 thousand rubles), then, for example, a foundation – never, because you apply it all over your face, the skin should breathe, and not be in a “mask”.

It would seem, why not use the usual lip balm for 100 rubles? But I have a product for 2500, which not only perfectly cares for delicate skin, but also slightly increases the volume of the lips. There are more advantages in expensive funds, and this is not propaganda, but my personal opinion.

Ah, I almost forgot about sports! I don’t go to ordinary gyms, but prefer stretching schools, of which there are a lot in Moscow. And instead of finding a simple studio near my home, I go to a trendy one where you can meet it-girls and bloggers. Its cost is equal to an annual membership in a modest gym. Why overpay? I believe that you need to train only with qualified trainers who will not harm me and my health. Alas, there are a lot of cases when classes are taught by incompetent trainers without education and with minimal experience, and after such “masters” you can go to an osteopath for a couple of months who will piece together your body. Just about such a case my colleague wrote.

Therefore, my advice to you: before chasing freebies and cheapness, think about yourself, evaluate your capabilities and try not to skimp on beauty. Perhaps you will stop buying yourself a ton of unnecessary, low-quality things and buy one that is effective and expensive.

– Dear author of the article, we respect your opinion, although we cannot agree with all the theses of the column. Good masters, no doubt, are everywhere: in expensive salons and in the network of social hairdressing salons. I personally know many people who do not even have a professional education, but create fantastic masterpieces on the heads of their clients! Cosmetics are also different cosmetics. Even the most frugal brands can boast some really cool products at times. Although, of course, expensive funds are produced using more modern technologies, using higher quality raw materials … Most often this is the case, although not always. If you want to spend money on beauty or (it would be more correct to say!) To invest money in your appearance, do it! If you enjoy the process and happiness is the result, keep up the good work. Ultimately, a happy woman is always +100500 to her appearance.
