My Go-To Salon for Amazing Hair Color
I've been dealing with greying hair for what feels like an eternity, but as a blonde at heart, I didn't mind in the slightest.
I've always been a bit of a blonde enthusiast, and I've tried various hair color options over the years. However, as I've grown older, I've found that my hair has become increasingly difficult to manage.
Before discovering Recont, I was visiting a different salon, but the quality of the hair kept getting worse, the color looked unflattering, and the prices kept going up. That's when my sister asked me why I wasn't going to her colorist, who everyone raves about. I didn't have a clear answer, so I decided to give her a try.
And I've been going back to her for over two years now, and I've even been bringing all my friends and acquaintances to her salon! The salon is located relatively close to the main roads, but it's tucked away in a courtyard, so if you don't know where to go, you might end up wandering around. The only sign is the glowing letters in the window – there's nothing above the door, and I found out that the property owners won't let them put up a sign.
The interior is cozy, with two different lighting setups – one for the stylist's convenience and another to make sure the client looks great afterwards. I've often thought, 'Why didn't I turn out blonde?', but then I go to the other mirror and it all looks fine.
The salon has all the latest equipment, despite being around since 2012 – the owner is all about results and client comfort. That's why they're always updating their tools and staying on top of the latest developments in hair color and chemistry. One of the stylists told me that they're constantly being pushed to learn and improve their skills.
I was a bit skeptical about the color zone at first, but it's actually a great addition to the salon. The owner experimented with it a while back, but it never really took off. Instead, they focused on being a hair salon, and for good reason – they're absolutely amazing at it! I mean, they can cut, style, and even color your hair to perfection.
What really sets them apart is their expertise in coloring. They offer all sorts of techniques and colors, and they're super knowledgeable about how to care for your hair after a dye job.
I'm really impressed with how well the color holds up – it doesn't fade or turn yellow like it does at some other salons. Even with my naturally dark roots, my hair looks like a beautiful, healthy blonde all the way down. Of course, that's partly due to the great blonde shampoo they recommend, but it's clear that they know what they're doing when it comes to coloring.
So, what services can you expect from Recont?

Their client-focused approach is truly exceptional. I've been going to Recont for over two years now, and I've even been bringing all my friends and acquaintances to her salon!
I don't have any photos of my color jobs to share, but you can check out my review of the Tefia TXT4 texturizing spray, which I picked up at Recont.
I've got to give a shoutout to the BB One BB Botox Mask by Picasso BTX Express – it's not sold here, but the salon staff highly recommended it and I'm loving the results for my hair. Plus, they always serve up a good cup of coffee or tea, not that instant stuff.
Seriously, these people are the real deal. They're passionate about what they do, and it shows in the quality of their work.
And it's the little touches that count – the owner's got some amazing artwork on the walls, real paintings on canvas, not prints. I'm obsessed with one of them, but they won't sell it to me, haha!
Don't get me wrong, but the real testament to this salon's quality is its clients. My friends who were skeptical at first have seen my hair and are now switching to Recont – it looks natural, the color's great, and it's got some serious bounce.
So if you're looking for a top-notch colorist in Yekaterinburg, I highly recommend Recont!
