Christmas is a few weeks away, and we're pretty sure you've somehow thought about how to spend your 13th month pay. But before you get carried away, we're here to remind you to spend it wisely. One of the most worth-it things you can splurge on for yourself are semi-permanent beauty treatments. From laser hair removal to microblading, these services can make your life easier, especially if you're someone who takes a lot of time getting ready.
Ahead, we round up a couple of beauty treatments that are worth spending your 13th month pay on:
1. Underarm laser hair removal
Tired of waxing or shaving your pits? Consider getting an underarm laser hair removal! While it won't permanently get rid of unwanted hair, it will help slow down hair growth. It's pricier than a waxing salon sesh but you'll be able to save time and money in the long run! Usually, it takes around six to eight sessions to see the best results.

2. Lash extensions
Having lash extensions will seriously cut down your makeup routine. It defines the peepers, allowing you to skip eye makeup, especially eyeliner and mascara!

3. Lash lift
If lash extensions aren't your cup of tea, a lash lift is a subtler, more low-maintenance option. It's essentially a perm for your lashes, keeping them curled and lifted for about four to six weeks.
Browhaus

4. Microblading
Most of us will agree that kilay is life, but let's be real: It takes time to "perfect" our brows. If you want to wake up with a flawless set of arches, microblading is the way to go. In case you didn't know, it's a semi-permanent tattooing procedure used to create the illusion of fuller brows.

5. Korean hair perm
If you love styling your hair every day, have you ever considered getting a perm? For natural-looking waves (Think: S-curl or C-curl), you might want to check out the different Korean hair salons' perming services in Manila. A perm usually lasts about three to six months, depending on how well you take care of your hair as well as your hair type.
