Women spend on average $1000 a year on beauty products and services. For example, if you highlight or color your hair the average price is around $75-$100 every 6-8 weeks. At 6 times a year that is $450-$600 just on hair cut, style, and color alone. Add in make-up, facials, waxing, etc. and the bill per year is closer to $3000-$4000! A monthly $500 car payment costs $6000 a year, so the average woman spends half of a car payment on her body's upkeep a year if she is a salon service kind of girl.

Saving money in that area is truly an art. Try out some of our tips on ways to fatten up that pocket book by spending a little less on those beauty products, doing more of your own services at home, and finding inexpensive alternatives.
