I was blown away by the price at Aktual, not the salon's interior – but that's a good thing!

My friend recommended Aktual for a hair coloring job, and I was curious to see what all the fuss was about. I wasn't expecting much, but I wanted to find a salon that could match my style without breaking the bank.

Aktual, Stavropol The salon itself is tucked away in a regular panel house on Pirogov Street in the south of Stavropol – you might miss it if you're not paying attention.

Interior

Stepping into Aktual is like taking a trip back to the early 2000s – the posters on the walls and the furniture look a bit dated, but there's something cozy about the place. Maybe it's the 'Domashniy' TV show they're playing in the background that gives it a homey vibe.

What kind of cosmetics do they use?

Aktual works with Estel, which I think is a great choice – I've heard great things about this brand.

Results

For 3800 rubles, I got a complex two-color coloring job that I'm more than happy with. I would have paid at least 10 times that amount at a salon with a 'great' interior – but at Aktual, it's all about the result. The stylist really understood what I wanted, and that's what matters most to me.
