Threading classes in Salt Lake City

With 16 years of experience, Monica Dudani brings Threading classes to Utah. With the growing demand and awareness of the benefits of Threading vs waxing and tweezing, more and more people understand the value and benefits of learning a new art of hair removal.

Monica explains why Threading is one of the best ways of getting rid of unwanted hair on your face or neck :

1. Threading leaves behind less redness and irritation

2. unwanted hair does not grow back as fast 

3. threading is far simpler and cleaner 

4. does not promote ingrowth hair
5. no chemicals used on skin, just a plain cotton thread

The classes are held every week with each session for 5 hours and individual attention to each participant. By the end of the 5 hour session, you would have mastered the art of Threading helping you reap the benefits of this Indian art. Its easy...its simple...its cleaner.

Contact Monica @ (801) 651 4315 to make an appointment for your next Threading learning session.

Tandoor Indian Grill

Another Indian Treasure in Utah - Specializing in North and South Indian delicacies, this place is open all 7 days of the week (both for lunch and dinner). Although there are many restaurants catering to North Indian Food, this place is a must go for its Southern specialities like Idli, Dosas, Vada, Masala Dosa, Uthapam, Chicken/Keema Dosa etc.

Authentic to its taste, we decided to highlight the Southern Food on their menu. There is no other place in Utah, which serves its idli - dosas so eloquently with its very own Special Green Chutney, Tomato chutney and Sambhar. Their South Indian Chef exactly knows what he is upto and will serve you the very best.

So, next time you have those idli-dosa cravings, you know exactly the spot to hit.
