You Won’t Believe How Much it Costs to Look Like Jennifer Aniston for a Year

We have it on good authority that Jen’s stylist of choice for those signature locks is none other than Chris McMillian in Beverley Hills. It only makes sense, as Chris is credited with having created “the Rachel” – that signature hairstyle from Aniston’s Friends' days; a look that quickly inspired women all over the world to follow suit and ask their stylist for the same cut.

A cut with Chris will run you about $600, and at the same salon, her signature highlights done by colourist Justin Anderson start at $250. Keep in mind, if Aniston is able to make it in for a refresh every six weeks, this $850 visit will cost her close to $7,000 USD before the year is up.

The Aveeno spokeswoman may promote the affordable skincare line, but don’t be fooled into thinking this is where it ends for the A-lister’s youthful glow.

While Jen insists all those claims that she spends thousands a month on beauty products are out of whack, there’s no denying she does have a few luxe indulgences. Of her favourites? A great facial! A classic facial at a top salon in Aniston’s home base of Los Angeles will run you about $300. For the monthly treat, you’ll be forking over $3,600 USD a year.

While Aniston isn’t one to blast fans of plastic surgery, she prefers non-invasive treatments when it comes to her own (gentle) war against aging. She’s said to be a fan of skin-resurfacing treatments, which target sagging skin and loss of collagen. Her treatment of choice? Thermage – which uses radiofrequency to achieve great results, minus the needles and downtime. While the cost varies from clinic to clinic, this once-a-year procedure typically ranges from $2,000 - $3,000.

Yoga and Pilates have long been Aniston’s workout styles of choice, and with help from yoga instructor and celebrity go-to Mandy Ingber, Aniston has been able to maintain that enviable figure. Using Ingber’s personal coaching and Yogalosophy program doesn’t come cheap, and while the exact cost of Ingber’s private sessions are unknown, it’s a safe bet that it ranks higher than the typical cost of $50-$100 an hour.

If you’re looking to get those sculpted arms and toned curves at any cost – three days a week of private coaching will have you spending at least $7,200 on those one-on-one mat sessions per year.

While filming the 2014 drama, Cake, Jennifer Aniston was forced to strip down for the big screen and bare it all. Coming off of that experience, she’s said to have developed a preference to the less-is-more philosophy when it comes to her makeup routine.

While the actress may prefer a fresh face, that doesn’t mean she’s stocking up on bargain finds at the drugstore. A longtime fan of brands such as Georgio Armani for foundation, Chanel for blush and Laura Mercier tinted moisturizers; these staples don’t come cheap. For her quarterly haul of these must-have items, you can expect to pay close to $800 a year.

For a head-to-toe glow, Aniston steers clear of the sun’s harmful UV rays and instead opts for a spray tan twice a month. Celebrity hotspot Ibiza Tanning Salon in Hollywood is rumoured to be a favourite for Aniston’s faux-glow needs, where she pays $45 USD a session for an airbrush tan that contours her every curve. To maintain your colour, be prepared to shell out over $1,000 USD for the year.

A dietary plan developed by a former scientist, The Zone Diet is all about breaking your caloric intake into three parts daily, consisting of carbohydrates, protein, and a small percentage of fats. A celebrity-favourite, Jennifer Aniston is said to be a big fan of their customized-meal delivery program, which costs $30 a day.

We’re guessing the actress has a pretty varied menu in her hectic schedule, but assuming she were to stick to the 5-day weekly delivery plan, this bill would chime in at over $7,000 for the year!

Like most things with Jennifer Aniston, her manicure-style is pretty understated. Sure, she might rock the odd vampy shade for the red carpet, but for the day-to-day, this low-key stunner prefers to keep her claws trim, clean and as natural as possible.

Even a subtle set can be costly. While we’re fairly certain an A-lister like Aniston prefers the in-home treatment, you can get the look at celebrity hotspot ES Nail on Melrose, where a standard manicure with colour will run you $60 USD. To keep them up with twice-monthly visits, this one will cost you $1440 USD for the year (and that doesn’t include tipping!).

Not everything on Jennifer Aniston’s list is going to cost you. In fact, some of the starlet’s top beauty secrets ring in at $0! To name a few? H20! And plenty of it, as the actress swears by her daily intake of water to keep her glowing skin – and overall health – in check. Another freebie? Sleep! Getting those solid eight hours a night have clearly done wonders for the actress, and in spite of a hectic schedule, Aniston does her best to always get in those vital hours of beauty-sleep.

We’ve done the math and – drumroll please! – if you’re looking to live like Jen for a year, it’s going to cost you just over $35,000! Chump change for a Hollywood A-lister, but nothing short of a fortune for the rest of us. Our suggestion? Stick to the basic principles (hydrate, moisturize, eat clean) and find budget-friendly substitutes that work for you!

Ultimately, we can all afford to take some beauty cues from Jennifer Aniston when it comes to looking our best at any age – whether it’s prioritizing good eating habits or staying out of the sun – and (fortunately) that kind of common sense won’t cost you a thing!
