Standing at the salon counter looking at a list of facials (Gold, Diamond, Glow, Signature, Bridal) and wondering which one is actually right for you? You are not alone. This guide explains each of the facials we offer at Coolcut, from O3+ and VLCC, what each one is good for, how often to book, and what it costs.
The two brands
O3+ is a professional skincare brand widely used in Indian salons and known for its more advanced, multi-step facials, including its bridal and groom ranges.
VLCC is one of India's best-known beauty brands. Its salon facials, such as Gold, Diamond and Glow, are popular, affordable and good for regular upkeep.
The facials, one by one
VLCC Glow facial: ₹500
A quick refresh for tired, dull skin. Cleansing, scrub, massage and a pack leave the skin brighter and softer. A good monthly facial and a smart first facial if you are new to them.
VLCC Gold facial: ₹700
The classic before-a-function facial. The gold range is designed for a warm, healthy glow, which is why it is a favourite before weddings, festivals and parties.
VLCC Diamond facial: ₹800
A step up from gold, for a brighter, more polished finish. Popular for skin that looks dull or uneven from sun and pollution.
O3+ Signature facial: ₹1,000
O3+'s own signature facial, with more steps and a more professional formula than everyday facials. A good choice when your skin needs real care, not just a glow.
O3+ Bridal facial: ₹1,500
Our most complete facial for women, made for a wedding or a big day. Book it five to seven days before the event so the skin has time to settle and glow. See our wedding countdown for the full plan.
O3+ Groom facial: ₹1,500
The men's version of our bridal facial, built for thicker, oilier skin and the stress of the wedding week.

Before and after your facial
- Tell your beautician about sensitive skin, allergies or any skin treatment you are using (such as retinol or acne creams).
- Skip threading and waxing on the same day as a facial if your skin is sensitive.
- Do not book a facial the day before an event; a few spots can surface in the first day or two.
- For the next 24 hours, avoid heavy makeup, scrubs and direct sun, and use sunscreen afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I get a facial?
Every four to six weeks, roughly the time the skin takes to renew itself.
Is a facial good for acne-prone skin?
A gentle clean-up can help oily skin, but if you have active, painful acne, see a dermatologist first and skip massage-heavy facials until it calms down.
Which is better, gold or diamond?
Both are VLCC facials for glow. Gold gives a warm, healthy glow; diamond aims for a brighter, more polished finish. Many people alternate.
Do men get facials?
Absolutely, and every facial on our menu is available for men at the same price.
