Salons on the Tverskaya galore.
Ummm, do I want to know what "threading" is?  |

| I can't even imagine what you're talking about. Hair removal with a string??!! What in the world does that mean? I've heard of razors and waxing and hair removal creams and moussses--but never string. Do you like tie string to your eyebrows or moustache or something? How can that work? |

What is threading? Threading is an ancient method of hair removal still used in many countries in the Middle East as well as India and Pakistan. It is used to give clean lines and good shape to the eyebrows and also remove hair from the upper lip and other facial areas.
How does it work? 100% cotton thread is twisted and rolled along the surface of the skin entwining the hair in the thread which is then lifted out from the follicle
Is it painful? The pain experienced during Threading is no worse than that experienced during tweezing or waxing. A small pinch is felt with the removal of hair which many clients find minimal due to the large coverage area treated at one time.
How long before hair returns? About the same as with tweezing, anywhere between 3 and 8 weeks. In time the hair will stop growing back - indefinitely.
How does it affect the skin? The effects are less than with other hair removal methods such as tweezing, waxing or sugaring. The skin may get a little red and sore but only a slight pinch is felt as a relatively large area is covered each time.

I think you can buy wax at supermarkets, and some pharmacies carry a good range of beauty products as well (items at pharmicies tend to be more expensive) so they ought to have them.
Try www.expatsalon.ru. They speak English and offer the waxing services you mentioned. It's not too far from Tverskaya. I find it a bit expensive though but service is tops. I speak Russian just about fine now, but messing with my hair due to misunderstandings is not an option. (it's happened before I saved 1000rur but...   ) |
