Beauty salons in Phuket where the service and quality are “like in Russia”
The first question many people have on vacation or after moving to Phuket is – where to get nails, eyelashes, eyebrows done, dye hair, and get a haircut? There are many beauty salons on the island, but it’s not so easy to find one where the level is comparable to the beauty standards of Russia and the CIS countries. The beauty industry there has long set a very high bar – in terms of quality, sterility, and attention to detail.
Slavic masters are not allowed to work in Phuket, but a solution was found: they trained Thai colleagues according to their standards. Save these salons – you’ll need them!
Lakshmi Salon

Working hours: Mon - Fri: 10:00 - 18:00; Sat 10:00 - 16:00

A salon where everything is thought out — from the quality of services to the feelings you leave with. It is a space across 4 floors, divided into women’s and men’s areas. In the women’s area — haircuts, coloring, treatments, brows, lashes, and nail services. In the men’s area — haircuts, beard work, toning, and facial care.
There is a private room with services performed by 4 or even 6 hands — a format for those who value their time and want to get the most out of a single visit.
The main focus is on haircuts and styling for both women and men. The stylists work very delicately with length: if you’re someone who has trauma from the phrase “let’s just trim it a little” — when you asked for only 3 cm off but ended up with a bob — you will definitely be understood correctly here. They will refresh the shape, carefully work through the layers, and make your hair look more lively and soft.
At Lakshmi, you can also get a manicure, pedicure, hair removal, and face and body treatments, including masks of their own production.
A separate highlight is the team. All the salon’s stylists undergo extensive training under the guidance of a Russian curator. In addition, the salon has a Russian-speaking administrator who helps clearly communicate clients’ wishes to the stylists — which removes the main fear when choosing a salon in Phuket.
Lakshmi is also involved in charity: part of its income goes toward rescuing elephants that are bought out of harsh conditions, transported to a private sanctuary, and fully cared for — from nutrition to rehabilitation.
So a visit to this salon is not just about beauty, but also about doing something good.

The history of TA Beauty Space began with just one nail technician, but over time the space grew and evolved.

Thanks to the high quality of services and the team’s continuous development, TA Beauty Space quickly became one of the notable beauty spaces on the island.
Today, TA Beauty Space is 4 salons in Bang Tao, Rawai, Chalong, and Kata, with a professional team of specialists, high-quality products, and special attention to instrument sterilization and guest comfort. The focus here is on an individual approach and high service standards.
