'Getting your nails done, getting a facial, getting your hair done - it all has this therapeutic element for so many people,' Georgia Louise, celebrity aesthetician, told POPSUGAR. Whether you realize it or not, there's a lot of power behind the touch and personal connection you share with your aesthetician, manicurist, and hairstylist. Getting your hair and nails done or getting a facial doesn't just make you look good, it can make you feel good, too. But beyond missing the instant gratification that comes from a salon appointment, losing that one-on-one time with a beauty specialist can have other negative effects that go beyond the surface.įirst is the emotional. That is also why we skipped out on many of our once-routine beauty treatments like manicures, haircuts, eyebrow touch-ups, and facials for the majority of the year. We were told not to touch doors, other people, our faces, and pretty much every surface out there - at all costs - to avoid the spread of COVID-19. Avoiding touch was a major theme of 2020.
