With face control at Moscow's best bars and clubs amongst the toughest anywhere in the world, a visit to the beauty salon is an essential prerequisite to posing with the capital's jetset. The Expat Salon was set up to deliver the very best beauty services for country leavers who might be a bit nervous about ordering highlights in Russian. (The consequences of a miscommunication could be disastrous!). Every treatment is available, from your toenails polished to eyebrows plucked, with plenty of facials and massages in between. Men needn't feel left out either - 800 roubles for a buttock wax, just screams bargain. 'Scream' being the operative word.
