Beauty Options in Hanoi
Beauty services are inexpensive and luxurious in Hanoi—even a haircut often comes with a head massage. Manicures and pedicures are common, and many women have their nails painted with intricate designs, with stripes, flowers and several colors. Massage parlors can be found on nearly every block, and offer services by trained staff for just a few dollars. To avoid any embarrassing situations, be aware that “Thai Massage” is usually a euphemism for prostitution!
