The result of this study indicates that the concept of beauty of young Muslim women in Surabaya consists of three forms namely, spiritual beauty, physical beauty, and ethical beauty, which are a combination of the two.This concept of beauty was shown by the various practices of body treatments at beauty clinics. Muslim women saw that beauty is not for others and that is not for reasons outside of their bodies. The body of Muslim women has its own subjectivity. Muslim women have their own consciousness. The consciousness of young Muslim women divided into body as subject body, body as a consciousness existence, and body as language acts. Young Muslim women felt that they can release sensations without holding on to the values held by the surrounding community. This study reveals women's bodies are not always objects but that Muslim women's bodies have their own subjectivity.
