Shobha

Editorial Review

Micro-franchise of threading salons draws on owner's Indian heritage of meticulous eyebrows. Shaming waxing, which Shobha claims stretches skin, here wild hairs are painlessly lassoed away. Sugaring, an old Mesopotamian trick, strips down bikinis with chemical-free gel of sugar, lemon juice, glycerin, and water. Both ideal for sensitive types, Retin-A addicts. Warm red and orange hues further soothe, as does post-treatment rosewater spritz. Gorgeous henna work, clay-based facials when you are out of anything to depilate.
