Salon Alessandro

What : Yon-Ka 'Le Grand Classique'
Where : Salon Alessandro on Balshaya Zhytomirskaya
How much : a hefty UAH 450
How long : 1.5 hours

I've been on the lookout for a new facialist ever since my favourite girl disappeared on me. Since then just about every facialist I've been to here in Kiev has me with bleeding, irritated skin.

Last Friday I went to see Tatiana the facialist at Alessandro and so far so good. My skin looks good and even though there are a few bumps (to be expected after a facial) my skin looks fantastic. The only unpleasant bit of the facial was when Tatiana slipped on what felt like a rubber mask on my face. I'm a little claustrophic and that was a bit of an unpleasant experience.

For the price, I thought the salon itself was nothing special. Where I come from facials aren't a luxury, it's a part of good grooming so a facial with this kind of price of tag has to be something out of the ordinary!Tatiana however was very knowledgeable and gave me a couple of tips to look after my skin. Apparently I have sensitive skin.... something I was very surprised to find out. I blame it on the water and the weather here in Kiev.

Verdict : Recommended
