“Beauty treatments were the first to go because they’re not ‘essentials’ even though they are so necessary for my well-being. I haven’t felt hot in ages and it’s definitely impacting my confidence. I’m socialising less and it’s put a strain on my relationship as I don’t feel sexy anymore.”
“I’ve stopped getting acrylics, sunbeds and haircuts. I used to get my nails done every month, and get balayage done. Now I’m giving myself haircuts and doing my own nails because there’s just no way I can afford it anymore,” says 24-year-old communications consultant Siobhan Fitzsimons.

“I feel like I’ve been priced out of being able to look pretty, there’s a financial threshold, and if you can’t spend money on beauty treatments, you’re stuck.”
“In cutting back, I actually realised I need them even more so,” adds Eniye. “I'm looking at my ugly nails and it’s just like ‘ah, life is getting worse.”
Fake up, fake up, why'd you wear so much makeup?Just last year, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak described beauty as an “essential service” providing “things that can’t be measured on spreadsheets… a sense of confidence and self-esteem”.
