What does it actually cost to maintain a premium beauty routine in Manila? Our editors break down three budget tiers — from ₱5,000 to ₱50,000 per month.
Philippine women spend an average of ₱3,000–₱15,000 per month on beauty services. But what does a genuinely premium beauty routine cost in Manila? And what does each tier actually buy you?
The Best Value Allocation
If you have ₱15,000/month for beauty: spend 40% on skin (monthly facial or quarterly laser), 25% on nails (luxury studio monthly), 20% on lash (bi-monthly infill), 15% on hair (bi-monthly cut). This allocation delivers the highest visible impact per peso.
