The hosts discuss the growing trend of beauty tourism, where individuals travel to destinations like Almaty, Kazakhstan, for cosmetic and aesthetic services. They highlight a personalized color analysis experience at 'Yes Color' in Almaty, which costs significantly less than similar services in the U.S.
“This trend of beauty tourism is on the rise from flying to Turkey for a hair transplant, which I'm sure you heard of. We're going to South Korea for cosmetic treatments. We're going to Mexico for dental work.”
“Treatments can cost significantly less outside of the U.S., And you will pay like literally for your trip plus your beauty experience. You're going to pay less than if you were just to pay for the experience or the service in the United States.”
“It was about $80 for the package that we booked, which I think was one of the top packages, maybe the second tier package. Like I said before, in the US, this is $300 to $500. This was $80 in Kazakhstan.”
