I love going to Nail Bar no. 1 as there are several branches and they really take time with your nails. Lots of colours to choose from and depending on the type of gel nail polish you choose the prices vary.
3. Laser hair removal
Name: Laser Rooms
Location: 14 Pavle Aslanidi Street
Opening hours: 10AM-9PM
Getting laser hair removal is one of the best things I decided to do since I moved to Tbilisi. Firstly, it’s so cheap compared to London prices. Secondly, you will be hairless – no more painful waxing session. It’s honestly the best thing. I tried a few places before I found Laser rooms but they are honestly my go-to place. There’s two types of machines, however I opt for the newer machine that has the cool setting making it less painful. I completed all my sessions and now I only have to do top ups, it’s the dream.
4. Sugar waxing
Name: Sugaring room Qarvasala
Location: 7 Tsotne Dadiani St.
Opening hours: 10AM-8PM, closed on Sundays
If you aren’t prepared to fully commit to laser hair removal, there’s always waxing, Before my laser journey I used to do sugar waxing. I went to the Sugaring room Qarvasala, located near Vake. The lady there is honestly the best, I used to get Hollywood wax and always left feeling fresh.
5. Spa Day
Name: Saan Ramaan spa
Location: 300, 24 Samasi Aragvelis Kucha 14, Ialbuzi Street
Opening hours: 8AM-10PM
This spa is the perfect place to unwind and relax. Offering a wide range of packages and services. I went for the full day Spa pass for 120gel (180gel on weekends), would definitely recommend going during a week day to avoid the busy weekend period.
The ambiance of this place would not want to make you leave. With the full Spa day package you will have access to the swimming pool, gym, salt room, thermal bed loungers, sauna and more! The lunch is also very tasty if you wanted to grab a quick bite.
