The more experienced I have become, the more I have asserted my absolute will in the matter of my haircut and face makeup. Formerly, I'd just tell whoever was cutting my hair, "Well, I kinda want it like this..." and would capitulate with their suggestions and/or mistakes. Not so! Now I make sure I know exactly what I want done to my tresses before entering the salon, as well as have confidence that whoever's about to cut my hair can perform the necessary alterations.
I am also not about to put whatever junk someone is selling through their latest pyramid scheme on my face! I came close. A sister of a friend almost got me to buy foundation through her company. However, the free samples she gave me unwittingly steered me away: the consistency of the makeup was all wrong, more pasty than anything. I don't know. I am spoiled by my last (splurge) purchase of foundation, which was Chanel, perfectly matched to my face at a beauty counter. It's probably all downhill from there.
The lesson of this post might be: expensive haircuts and face makeup may well be worth it.
