Do you have a plan to visit Moscow any of these days? Perhaps just for a short vacation or maybe for a rather formal event like a wedding invitation? Whether a casual or official visit, you might feel like giving yourself a treat by getting a makeover or a new hairdo. So check out these 5 best beauty salons in Moscow that you can give a try:
1. AltoSenso
This beauty salon has been approved by Russian beauty enthusiasts as the best one in Moscow. It has two spots; one in Ulitsa Osthozenka and the other on Tverskoy Boulevard. AltoSenso is derived from Latin words which mean high feeling and that is exactly what the salon promises to its clients. AltoSenso wants them who leave the salon to feel “high” in beauty, grace, and self-confidence.
Along with the quality comes the price. This may not be a beauty salon for everyone because of the high price of the services. But, everyone who visits the salon won’t be disappointed because AltoSenso has such a high standard for its stylists that they could be compared to the masters of European chocolate. They have been trained to Latin style the women so they could feel the beauty balanced inside and out. The salon offers several services like hairdressing, cosmetology, manicure and pedicure, also makeup.
The clients love this beauty salon because of the quality, the flexibility of the schedule – which is very important for busy women, and the professionalism of the stylists that could finish more than one service at once perfectly and, therefore, save a lot of the clients’ time.
2. ASAP Beauty Salon
Located in Astrakhanskiy Pereulok, ASAP is also one of the high-end beauty salons in Moscow. Out of 5 stars, it gets 4,9 points. The services it offers are eyebrows and eyelashes fix, hairdressing, and manicure and pedicure. Their eyebrows service is said to be the best in Moscow, so you should take this as a note if you need a fix. Another perks from ASAP are its client-based schedule and multitasking.

5. Mone
Founded on September 16, 1998 by Alexander Glushkov in Moscow, Mone was inspired by the French painter Claude Monet. Glushkov wanted his salon to present the best stylists who could handle the beauty and style like Monet did with his paintings. Since then, Mone has grown to be more than just a salon but also a company. It has become a franchised beauty salon and the branches are spread all over Moscow – so this is the easiest salon you can find while you’re in town. It is specialized in hair services like cutting, styling, coloring, rebonding, and such. Monet is also the official stylist for the Russian Fashion Week. So, speaking of quality, there is no doubt about it.
Clients love Mone because it is easy to be found, not too expensive, professional, and efficient with time. If you are in a mall and only need a quick haircut in between shopping sprees, then Mone is where you have to go to get the cut.
