    I'd have an aromatherapy massage - so relaxing! Not too bothered about beauty treatments as such, I don't bother with waxing or shaving and I can pluck my own eyebrows and sort my feet out myself.

    Massage and a facial every month please. :j

    At present my hair is cut every six weeks, waxing every four and a facial and massage only every three months. :(

    I've never had a pedicure but fancy trying one.:cool:

    I'd love a facial every two weeks (have got crappy skin and a proper facial really seems to help) and a back and shoulder massage every week would be great....oh and waxing every month! Hair tidy once a month would be good too, try to leave mine 8-12 weeks but it can get really scruffy..... If I were a rich girl la-di-da-di-da-di-da-di-da-di-da-di-da-di-daaaaa..... :D

    p.s. SugarSpun, you should definitely complain!!!
    Sugarspun that sounds awful - I hope you complained!

    I did. I had to give them my gift voucher anyway but my husband, who bought it, went to try to sort it out and the manager said he'd take care of me when I went back.

    I'm not going back! I feel bad at the loss of the money and my birthday gift, because it was supposed to be such a treat, but better to lose out a bit than repeat the Worst Pedicure Ever experience.

    An Elemis facial plus the Star Trek chair which massages you at the same time. They have it in Debenhams Belfast.

    Eyebrow threading but not every month.

    A savvy tip here: Look up your local health and beauty colleges or training centres, you can get beauty treatments very very cheap if done by trainees and they're supervised! :)

    Unfortunately not from my college, I'd already thought of that one. rang up to book an appointment for a facial and a manicure and was told "sorry the students aren't studying those anymore so we aren't offering them" then asked for a massage and was told "nope sorry the students have studied those so we aren't doing them either" :mad: When I asked what they were doing she said waxing only which I didn't really want.

    Where I used to live the beauty and hair department did all the treatments throughout the whole year so you could have anything done at anytime but it seems they only offer each treatment as the students are studying it where I am now :(

    Shame as they offer Dermalogica facials for £10 :(:(

    I would have to say a pedicure. They are roughly about £60+ quid here and I just can't afford that every month BUT whenever I travel in another country...they are usually cheaper and try to get one there as a treat for my feet hehe. Going to Spain next month and the first thing on my list to do..a pedicure! :D
