Dark chocolate waxing, red wine facial, fig hair repair, caviar de-tan: Tress Talk is like a delicious deli for your body. The only difference is that at this spanking new unisex salon and spa, all the treats are nutritious, and the results, wholesome.

Room Service
Founded by internationally-trained cosmetologist Meetah Thakkar and her two partners, Tress Talk features an exhaustive menu of “meals”, each of which can be sampled in one of the salon’s five neat rooms – Ritual Room for hair treatments (Rs 600 and up); Hands and Feet Bar for manis, pedis, nail art and foot massages (Rs 300 and up); Express Room for waxing, threading, etc (Rs 50 and up); Age Lock Room for age-defying treatments (Rs 500 and up); and Keraskin Room for facials and more ( Rs 2,500 and up).

Outside, in a spherical area, hairstylists snip and prune, curl and rebond, highlight and touch up for Rs 300 and up. Chemical peels are also available for those who don’t believe that nature can nurture. Almost every service, including waxing and facials, extends to men as well.

Piecemeal
Although the expertise and fancy equipment at Tress Talk would warrant it, not all its “rituals” are exorbitantly priced. You can for instance, get a Stress Free Tonic head massage for Rs 200. A shampoo + cut + blow dry will cost you Rs 850, as will the Caviar face and neck de-tan.

Bon appétit!
