Beauty Treatments Worth The Money (And The Ones We'd Skip)

Let's be honest.

Beauty treatments aren't getting any cheaper.

And while we'd all love to book every appointment under the sun, most of us are trying to decide whether we really need it—or whether we've just been influenced by a TikTok filmed in perfect lighting.

Some treatments genuinely make life easier.

Others? Well... let's just say we'd rather spend the money on a weekend away.

Here's our completely unofficial guide to the beauty treatments we'd happily rebook and the ones we're not rushing back for.

Worth It: Lash Lifts

If there was a Beauty Hall of Fame, lash lifts would have their own wing.

Why?

Because they do exactly what they promise.

You wake up looking more awake.

You need less mascara.

Your lashes look good at the gym, on holiday, during a heatwave, and after accidentally falling asleep on the sofa.

For something that takes less than an hour, the return on investment is pretty impressive.

Feelfi Rating: Book it.

Worth It: Brow Laminations

The beauty equivalent of putting your life back together.

A brow lamination can completely change how polished your face looks without anyone being able to pinpoint exactly what's different.

Good brows make everything easier.

Bad brows make you question every life choice you've ever made.

We're investing accordingly.

Feelfi Rating: Worth every penny.

Worth It: Lash Serum

A great lash serum is the beauty treatment you do at home.

No appointments.

No maintenance.

No trying to find parking.

Just consistency.

The reason lash serums have become so popular is because they're working in the background while you're busy doing literally anything else.

The Feelfi Lash Serum fits perfectly into the low-maintenance beauty era.

Apply. Sleep. Repeat.

That's our kind of routine.

Feelfi Rating: Future-you will be grateful.

Worth It: Hydrating Facials Before Holidays

You know that glow everyone wants?

Sometimes it's not a new foundation.

Sometimes it's water and a facial.

A good hydrating facial before a holiday, wedding, festival, or event can make your skin look healthier, fresher, and significantly less stressed.

Which is useful because life is stressful enough.

Feelfi Rating: Luxury with a purpose.

Worth It: Professional Hair Colour

Nobody enjoys sitting in a salon chair for four hours.

Nobody.

But a good colour appointment can carry you through months of good hair days.

The difference between expensive-looking hair and expensive hair often comes down to colour maintenance.

It's annoying.

It's also true.

Feelfi Rating: Unfortunately worth it.

Maybe Worth It: Gel Nails

We're divided on this one.

When they're fresh?

Perfect.

When one breaks three days later?

Heartbreaking.

For holidays, weddings, and special occasions, we're fans.

For every single month of the year?

Your bank account might have opinions.

Feelfi Rating: Situational.

Maybe Worth It: Spray Tans

When they're good, they're incredible.

When they're bad, you're spending a week looking like you've lost a fight with a biscuit.

Find a technician you trust and you'll never look back.

Find the wrong one and you'll be exfoliating for days.

Feelfi Rating: High risk, high reward.

We'd Skip: Sunbeds

We know.

The pre-holiday tan is tempting.

The "just one session" conversation has happened in every group chat at least once.

But if Summer 2026 beauty is all about healthy skin, glowing skin, and future-proofing your routine, sunbeds simply aren't making the cut.

There are plenty of ways to get a bronzed look without spending time under UV exposure.

Your future skin will thank you.

And honestly, nothing looks more expensive than healthy skin.

Feelfi Rating: Leave it in 2016.

We'd Skip: Anything Promising Instant Perfection

Beauty trends come and go.

But the promise of becoming a completely different person overnight never seems to disappear.

The treatments worth investing in are usually the ones that enhance what you've already got.

Not the ones promising to reinvent your entire face by next Tuesday.

Feelfi Rating: Sounds expensive.

The Beauty Formula We're Taking Into Summer

If we were building the ultimate beauty routine from scratch, it would look something like this:

✓ Lash Lift

✓ Brow Lamination

✓ Feelfi Lash Serum

✓ Good Skincare

✓ SPF Every Day

✓ Hair Appointments That Are Actually Booked On Time

✓ Enough Sleep (in theory)

Simple.

Effective.

And most importantly, it leaves more time for the things that matter.

Because the best beauty treatments aren't the ones that make you look like somebody else.

They're the ones that make being yourself feel a little easier.
