Specialised cosmetic and hair-styling studios in most Bulgarian cities offer a wide range of services from the typical manicure and wax to more sophisticated treatments. Bulgarian women certainly know how to look after themselves and that means basic hair and beauty salons are to be found on every street corner. If you’re looking for something flashier or are fussy about what products are used then the upmarket ones that are to be found in every city centre are for you. Here you can find everything from spa and anti-aging treatments to massages and other ways to pamper yourself. It is best to call in advance to schedule an appointment at the most popular places.
