The history of cosmetics in Iran shows that Iranians used to remove unwanted facial body hair centuries ago. The method is called band andazi and is still popular not only among traditional families but is also practised by some beauty salons in Iran.

In traditional families, Iranian women get together to perform band andazi before a wedding. The unwanted hair is removed by thread. It is a form of beautification, a substitute for waxing, and can also be included among other spa or beauty salon services in major cities in Iran.
