Cleanup vs Facial, compared.
A cleanup is the quick monthly reset — cleanse, gentle exfoliation, a mask and extractions in about 30–45 minutes — ideal for maintenance and for oily, breakout-prone skin between facials. A facial is the fuller treatment: everything a cleanup does plus massage, serums and targeted lines for hydration, brightening, de-tan or anti-ageing, over 60–90 minutes. At The Jawed Habib Unisex Luxury Salon commuters usually alternate — cleanups monthly, a facial before events or every 6–8 weeks.
- Cleanup from ₹1,000 — 30–45 min cleanse, exfoliation, extractions; monthly maintenance.
- Facial from ₹1,900 — 60–90 min with massage, serums and targeted results.
- Choose a cleanup for regular decongestion and oily, breakout-prone skin.
- Choose a facial for hydration, brightening, de-tan or event-ready glow.
- Skin-type consult first — oily, dry and sensitive skin get different lines.
- Non-comedogenic options for acne-prone skin; active breakouts referred to a dermatologist.

Answers, straight from the chair.
Cleanup or facial — which do I need?+
A cleanup (from ₹1,000) is quick monthly maintenance — cleanse, exfoliation and extractions. A facial (from ₹1,900) adds massage, serums and a targeted result like hydration, brightening or de-tan. For oily commuter skin most guests do monthly cleanups and a facial before events.
How often should I get a cleanup versus a facial?+
Cleanups suit a 3–4 week rhythm for maintenance; facials every 6–8 weeks or before an occasion. Doing both — cleanups between facials — keeps congested skin clear without over-treating.
How much do cleanups and facials cost at TJH Bagalur?+
Cleanups start at ₹1,000 and facials at ₹1,900 on the published menu. Final choice depends on your skin type and goal, confirmed in a short consult. The full list is at tjhbagalur.com/menu.
Which is better for acne-prone skin?+
Usually a gentle cleanup on a monthly rhythm — it decongests without heavy product. We use non-comedogenic lines and never work over active, inflamed breakouts; if your skin is mid-flare we'll recommend a dermatologist first.
Is a facial worth it over a cleanup?+
For a specific result — glow before a wedding, hydration for dry skin, brightening or de-tan — yes, the massage and serums do more. For routine upkeep, a cleanup is the efficient, lower-cost choice. Neither is 'better'; they do different jobs.
