Beauty salon InHype

Tested by the senior editor of BeautyHack Karina Andreeva

I wanted to visit the salon of model Anastasia Reshetova (you can read our interview with her here) at the end of the year - as soon as it opened - but, unfortunately, I did not have time in the pre-holiday bustle. I am glad that I started my acquaintance with cosmetology services and went for winter facial treatment. The first thing that attracts attention already at the entrance is the stylized interior in purple shades, just in the color of 2018. The entire salon is divided into zones where you can get a manicure, make-up, eyelash extensions and facial treatments. Many of them are at the same time. Nice time saver if you live non-stop.

The pricing policy is pleasantly surprising. A manicure will cost a democratic amount - 1,100 rubles, and styling on medium-length hair can be done for 2,600 rubles. But the salon does not save on cosmetics - the procedures are carried out on the bestsellers of the brands R + Co, Smith & Cult, Arcaya, Senna.

Now, in more detail about the procedure itself. First, cosmetologist Yulia Malashonkova and I discussed my wishes and what effect I would like to see after. I have a combination skin type, there is a tendency to dryness. In winter, peeling often occurs, so my main wish was to eliminate dryness and restore a healthy look to the skin, and the absence of fatigue to the face. I lay down on a comfortable chair that automatically rotates in the right direction for convenience. We started with cleansing - for this we used Ultra Hydrating Milk Cleanser from UltraCeuticals - I am familiar with the brand and I myself constantly use the legendary Ultra Moisturiser Cream (we talked about it here). Then I underwent a superficial ultrasonic cleaning with an apparatus - so as not to provoke peeling and to delicately clean the upper layers of the epidermis. An important point - the cosmetologist works not only with the face, but also with the décolleté area, and during the care process during a light lymphatic drainage massage, it touches the back a little too - they made it to me on the basis of Ultra Hydrating Lotion and Ultra Moisturiser Cream, also UltraCeuticals.

Then we proceeded to the nutritional care with a special Dermadrop TDA device. This is a technology that allows you to inject hyaluronic acid, vitamins, trace elements and amino acids into the deep layers of the skin without injections. Quite active currents of air pass through a thin tube and deliver the product into the skin - it does not hurt, but rather pleasant and ticklish in places. This is how the whole face is worked out. The final stage is a moisturizer with SPF 50 Ultra UV Protective Daily Moisturizer. The cosmetologist applies it with massage movements. At the end of the procedure, you will be given advice on skin care. I really liked the care that I did: the wow-effect without unpleasant sensations, quite dexterously and quickly - with all the consultations it was done within an hour. There was no trace of peeling, the face looked fresh and rested after the first procedure. Nourished and moisturized skin - now no cold is terrible: delight!

Brow & Beauty Bar Moskvichka on Dmitrovka

Tested by BeautyHack project manager Anastasia Lyagushkina

This is not my first time in the Brow Beauty Bar Moskvichka, so I came with the confidence that if surprises await me, then only pleasant ones. Climbed the stairs, traditionally looked from a height at the elegant Bolshaya Dmitrovka and opened the door to a large bright beauty bar. I was met by the administrator and cosmetologist Faina, and then escorted into a spacious, bright office. I told the master about my wishes and contraindications, and together we chose a moisturizing alginate mask, moisturizing and nourishing serum and, of course, massage!

I sat down on the couch, and Faina cleansed my face with DermaQuest cleanser, and then proceeded to a warming lymphatic drainage massage. For me, this is always a favorite moment in any care procedure. I felt the blood circulating, rushing to the face, the skin warms up and becomes more elastic. After the massage, Faina rubbed my face with DermaQuest moisturizing lotion and removed the cream from my skin. Then she applied an active ampoule with hyaluron, collagen and vitamin B5. As you know, hyaluron gives the skin maximum hydration, collagen - lifting, and B5 helps fight acne and promotes rapid skin cell regeneration. The ampoule was absorbed, and we switched to an alginate mask, which has a moisturizing and lifting effect on the skin. It is applied in a thick layer all over the face (including the eyes and mouth), leaving only holes in the nose so that you can breathe. When the mask was applied to my eyes, I felt a little scared, but beauty requires sacrifice, so I pulled myself together and overcame my fear. We held the mask for 15 minutes, then removed it in one piece. Finally, Faina applied DermaQuest moisturizing serum with a rich composition of vitamins and extracts on my face.

After the procedure, I looked in the mirror: my skin became fresh, saturated with moisture, smooth, it even seemed to me that my face visually became more slender and toned, and the face contour was clearer. Such procedures are simply necessary, especially at a time when the skin is so in need of hydration! As always, I left Brow Beauty Bar refreshed, beautiful, and most importantly - contented and happy!

Clinical Institute of Aesthetic Medicine KIEM

Tested by BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova

I don't really like salon care, but in winter it turns from a pleasant procedure into a harsh necessity. I have thin, dry skin that just needs extra hydration and nutrition. At KIEM, I got acquainted with Linda Kristel's multi-stage care based on the means of the Italian brand, which appeared in the 60s of the last century. Cosmeceuticals (not to be confused with ordinary cosmetics!) Consists of fifteen lines of care and is built on the principle of an expensive Lego constructor: the products can be mixed with each other, following the recommendations of the cosmetologist and adapting to a specific moment in your life. For example, if you have dry skin and go to the mountains, you can add a few drops of a special activator serum to the cream, and it will better protect your skin from wind, frost and become more nourishing. With the doctor and trainer of the Linda Kristel brand Liliana Gotmanova, we diagnosed the skin, confirming that it was dry and prone to irritation, and decided to take care aimed at moisturizing, relieving sensitivity and healthy radiance (before the procedure, I complained to Liliana about a dull complexion).

The first step was a thorough make-up removal with milk Lait Démaquillant Hydratant Douce, Linda Kristel Moisturizing Cleansing Milk for Normal, Sensitive and Dry Skin and Tonique Hydrant Douce Softening Toner, Linda Kristel. The products have a pleasant, but unobtrusive smell and a light consistency that does not cause irritation even on the thinnest and most sensitive skin.

The next stage of the multi-step treatment is to open and cleanse the pores so that the subsequent moisturizing ingredients penetrate into the deep layers. To do this, I was given "Gommage" gentle scrub for sensitive skin Gommage Douce, Linda Kristel, which gently removed the keratinized top layer of the skin without injuring it. Then they made me a mask based on volcanic fuller clay Masque Douceur by Linda Kristel. According to legend, this clay was used by Cleopatra herself to prolong the health and youth of the skin. I don’t know how it really was, but this mask, like a magnet, pulled out impurities from my pores, and the skin seemed to "breathe". Surprisingly, the mask resembles oil in consistency (I think, due to the numerous caring components in the composition). While I was lying with her, Liliana gave me a massage for an additional drainage effect and activation of processes in the cells. After the massage, my skin turned slightly red, and I felt a rush of blood - even after frost it is not so rosy.

Now my skin is ready to receive active nourishing and moisturizing ingredients. First, they made me a mask "Ambiant" for sensitive skin (Masque Ambiant, Linda Kristel). It reduces redness and capillaries, making them less visible. My skin even tingled a little during the procedure: it means that the cells began to work with a vengeance. After the first mask, a second was applied to the face, "Hydronurrisant" - this is a moisturizing and nourishing Masque Hydronourrissante face mask from Linda Kristel, which makes the skin elastic, and shea butter in the composition perfectly nourishes.

The final stage is a capillary strengthening serum for sensitive face skin "Fluid Concentrate 19" Fluide Concentre 19 and Ambiant face cream and peptide eye and lip cream of the same line. Now I'm ready for the frost!

The effect of the care lasted for three days - my skin became more nourished and needs less moisture. Bonus - healthy glow has not disappeared in a couple of hours, and the amount of highlighter on my face has decreased. A real "vitamin charge" and "shock therapy" for owners of dry skin. For those with normal skin, I recommend this procedure as a preventive measure. And girls with a fatty type, remember that Linda Kristel cosmeceuticals are "Lego", and you can always collect the care that suits only you!

Center of cosmetology and aesthetics "Embassy of beauty"

Tested by BeautyHack editor Anastasia Speranskaya

Salons and beauty centers can be different - with a friendly atmosphere of a glamorous "home", with unusual art installations and a creative approach to clients, and with a luxurious interior and staff who will greet you like a queen. When I want to pamper my skin with some treatments, I choose the third option - to pamper, so pamper. In the "Embassy of Beauty" this luxury is felt right away - you are met by a courteous administrator, and a specialist will respectfully escort you to the desired office, at the same time demonstrating the stone labyrinths of the center with vintage chandeliers and luminous staircases.

Vera Sobolevskaya, my cosmetologist, immediately assessed the condition of the skin - no serious problems and age-related changes (fortunately), but the vessels are located close, which means that the skin is thin. Therefore, we have chosen a very delicate treatment - a detox program called "Sea Elixir" with Swiss cosmetics Cholley. Vera said that this program is also called “going out” when the skin needs a quick shake and instant transformation.

We started with cleansing the skin with Bioregene Lait - ideal for dehydrated skin. According to the beautician, in winter, hard gels and lotions are not suitable for cleansing - the products should be soft and moisturizing so that the skin does not dry out in any case. Then they proceeded to a light acid peeling - the sun does not please with its appearance, which means that the risk of pigmentation is reduced to zero. The beautician applied Bioclean AHA Peeling Gel all over the face, avoiding the area around the eyes, and left it on for 10 minutes. Having carefully removed the remaining gel, Vera proceeded to the most pleasant part of the procedure - massage of the face and décolleté. By the way, it was the end of the working day and only after the massage I realized that my headache was gone, which I simply did not notice.

After that, Vera proceeded to apply the Bioclean Elixir Marin Masque plasticizing mask - she mixed the ingredients and applied it all over the face, including the eyelids. The slight chill from the mask and the unobtrusive scent of algae evoked associations with the sea - the feeling is like diving into cool water. Twenty minutes of such "swims" and it's time to take off the mask. At the end of the treatment, Vera applied Nutrisystem 24 Heures nourishing cream and gave me a mirror for me to evaluate the result. The skin seemed to be polished - it was very smooth, almost glossy, and soft, and fatigue vanished as if by hand. The effect of "doll skin" lasted for two days, but hydration lasted for a week - not a hint of dryness and peeling, despite the frost and blizzard.

Beauty salon "Aida"

Tested by BeautyHack special correspondent Daria Mironova

Beauty salon "Aida" is located in a five-minute walk from the metro station "Krylatskaya". I came to the procedure in ten minutes, but I was not kept waiting. Together with the beautician Tatyana, we went into the office, and I was asked to take off my sweater, shoes, chain and earrings - moisturizing care from the CARITA brand is designed not only for the face, but also for the neck and décolleté. I sat in a chair. The first step in any treatment is skin cleansing. To do this, the doctor used Eau Des Lagons lotion, which was first delicately applied to the entire skin of the face, neck and décolleté, and then washed off with a sponge. At this time, Tatiana began to talk about the features of this moisturizing procedure. Among the main contraindications are pregnancy, metal implants and the aggravated stage of acne (for a more complete list, ask your doctor), and all this is because hardware techniques are used during the procedure. After cleansing - massage according to the Beauty Fluid. The doctor applies a pleasantly smelling product to the skin, after which he begins to gently distribute it on the face, décolleté, neck (front and back), paying special attention to the lymph nodes.

After the massage with Beauty Fluid, Tatiana applied a renovator to her skin. This is a kind of peeling with oils. The doctor did three rounds of massage with this remedy - the sensations from the remedy were completely different. Each circle depends on the absorbency of the oils. The first massage is a slippery massage. Second, the oil has already been partially absorbed into the skin, so the peeling particles are already more noticeable. The third circle - there is no more oil on the skin, the peeling is dry, large particles of the product fall off the skin on a towel. The doctor removed the remnants of the product with a dry cotton pad. After a massage with a renovator, ultrasonic disinfection follows. This is the first device in the entire procedure. The Serum Poudre cleansing serum is applied to the skin, and already on top of it, the doctor drives an ultrasound machine. This takes approximately 10 minutes.

The next stage of the procedure is the Ideal massage with Serum Des Lagons serum and Bain Des Lagons mask. Ten minutes of massage, after which Tatiana leaves the product to dig into the skin and does a five-minute hand massage with a moisturizing serum. The mask on the face has been absorbed, which means that the next product can be applied. Only now the doctor uses not just a moisturizing serum, but also includes a second hardware technology in the care and puts on metal gloves. They massage the skin of the face, neck and décolleté until the serum is fully absorbed. This not only helps the cosmetics to start acting faster, but also gives a lifting effect. The third and final hardware technique is the LED disk. This is a metal disc with illumination, the rays of which solve a specific skin problem, depending on the color chosen by the doctor. Tatiana chose an anti-inflammation color for me because I have oily skin with imperfections. First, I was given a moisturizing serum (when working with various apparatus techniques, it is very important to use conductors, thanks to which the procedures will be effective), and then I covered my eyes with special glasses. Massage with an LED disc began, which simultaneously worked not only on the surface of the skin, but also at its depth. At the very end of the procedure, a moisturizer, eye gel and lip balm are applied to the skin. Tatiana explained to me that one of the features of this care is that in an hour and a half of applying various products to my skin, water was used only at the very beginning (to wash off the cleansing lotion). All serums were gradually absorbed, and hardware techniques helped speed up the processes and increase efficiency. Address: Osenny Boulevard, 21 Price: 5 480 rubles.

Beauty salon Tevoli

Tested by BeautyHack perfume critic Ksenia Golovanova

I came to the Tevoli salon with a simple request - I wanted to "take off" the winter from my face, which in two cold months had acquired an interesting gray tint, as if it had been stored in a cellar under sacks of potatoes. The salon is located on Tverskoy Boulevard, blown by all the winds, the day turned out to be frosty - in a word, I entered the table to the beautician Olga in all its glory: the skin tightened, and some pink spots appeared on the even gray background. Assessing the delicate situation, Olga offered me a procedure called "Triple Care" - without peeling, which, frankly, I was counting on, but with Babor cosmetics.

I am a longtime fan of her: you can call it a professional deformation, but the first thing I pay attention to is the smell of the product, and all the products of the brand smell great. The procedure lasts an hour and consists of several stages. After washing me well, Olga applied a nettle mask that stimulates blood circulation - so that during subsequent care, the cells more actively absorb useful components. The effect seemed to me unusual, indeed a little "nettle": the skin tingled slightly, but it was pleasant - it happens when you walk barefoot in a meadow with tall grass. After the mask, I was ready for a massage. Olga made it using a thick cream, to which she added the same Babor ampoule concentrate, after which the procedure is named - "Triple effect".

“What a triple effect,” I asked, clinging to the elusive consciousness with difficulty (when someone strokes my face, I immediately pass out). It turned out that we are talking about three main functions of the skin responsible for its youth - regeneration, barrier function and the ability to retain moisture. The massage was very long and thorough - I assume that my sensitive skin has acquired the color of a beetroot. But the subsequent mask and final care calmed her down with a bang - plus the brow wrinkle smoothed out and the very blush appeared, for which I came here. The effect lasted for two days, although I spent them on the run and without any special care.

Beauty salon Mahash Spa

Tested by BeautyHack special correspondent Moore Soboleva

To be honest, we in the editorial office love Mahash wholeheartedly - one of the first and best Moscow spa salons, which has been holding the brand for almost 10 years. The spa is perceived to a greater extent by people as entertainment and relaxation, but quite serious procedures are also performed here, albeit non-invasive ones - for example, lymphatic drainage massages using the Spanish technique, after which the face seems to be pulled on the cheekbones and looks thinner and younger. Actually, this technique is used in the procedure that was done to me.

The charming and incredibly beautiful cosmetologist Alena offered a choice of two treatments, which are considered the most "winter" in the salon. Both are made on Mahash's own cosmetics brand (the salon also works for Elemis and Aveda): one includes a tougher exfoliation, the second nourishing / antioxidant, which Alena advised me. Instead of abrasive exfoliation, mild but effective acids are used here, which are found in all products of the Mega Fruits antioxidant line (it exists only in the salon version, for professional use).

The procedure for using the funds is unusual. After washing, the beautician makes a massage with a special oil for the face, which is the same in Mahash for all treatments - using the same Spanish technique with Asian elements. The movements are smooth and non-rigid, but all muscles are worked out, including the area around the eyes, shoulders, neck and décolleté. The result is both a lymphatic drainage and a calming effect. After the massage, the face is washed with the gel again, the skin is toned and only then a nourishing, but also acid-containing mask is applied. Alena says that you can apply it with a brush or fingers, during the exposure you can leave the client or do a light massage (like me) - at the discretion of the beautician. Then the removal of the mask and the final creams - for the eyes and for the face.

What do we get as a result? Moisturizing, improving complexion and lymphatic drainage. Massage is most effective, of course, if you do it in a course - then the effect of chiseled cheekbones will last six months. One procedure is good before an important meeting (or after a fun party) - or any time you want to please yourself.

Beauty salon Millefeuille

Tested by BeautyHack SMM manager Elizaveta Plenkina

I went to the premium beauty salon Millefeuille, located in the Capital City tower of the Moscow City business center, for the Enhel platinum skin care procedure. There is a bright and cozy atmosphere here, the administrator kindly greeted me and took me to the spacious cosmetologist's office.

The procedure was performed by Natalia Vasilieva. She said that platinum care is designed not only to moisturize and nourish the skin, but also to rejuvenate. The Enhel Beauty platinum series is based on a unique Japanese massage technique with an effect on points that make the body work on self-position. Each product in the line contains nanocolloids (tiny particles) of platinum, which penetrate deep into the skin and prevent the formation of free radicals.

The procedure consists of several stages. The first stage is preliminary gentle cleansing of the skin from make-up with gel. After the skin was cleansed, Natalia moved on to the second stage - she applied a cleansing peeling containing acids to the entire surface of her face, and in the process of applying she performed a facial massage for me. A few minutes later, the beautician made a warm compress, and then sprayed "platinum" water to improve the general condition of the skin and gently narrow the pores. The next step was the application of a gel mask, which prevents dry skin, noticeably improves its condition after the first application, reduces wrinkles and provides long-term hydration. Such a mask is applied for 15-20 minutes until almost completely absorbed, and its remnants are removed with warm mittens. At the last stage, Natalia distributed a small amount of cream on her face.

After the procedure, the skin looks very healthy, there is a slight blush, and incredible softness is felt. The best part is that even without makeup, it looks smooth and radiant, so I spent the whole day without foundation and other decorative means, not at all embarrassed by my “no make up look”. Address: Presnenskaya embankment, 8, building 1 Price of the procedure: 14,000 rubles.
