Beauty salons in Lviv usually combine several areas: hair, nails, brows and lashes, plus face and body care. To avoid getting lost in the choice, decide on your goal first and look for a venue second. Below is a short guide to each area, how to match a service to a need and how to search by district. The venues of the city are collected in the catalogue of Lviv beauty salons.
Areas you will find in beauty salons
The range of services is different at every venue: one salon focuses on a single area, another offers several. Always check the profile of the specific place. These are the main groups you will meet.
Hair
Haircuts, colouring, styling, hair and scalp care. Men's cuts and beard care are often separated into their own venues, barbershops. In the Upgrade catalogue they appear in the same list as salons.
Nails
Manicure and pedicure, polish and gel coatings, nail care. A nail studio may work on its own or inside a beauty salon.
Brows and lashes
Shaping and care for brows and lashes. The list differs from venue to venue, so ask which procedures are available.
Cosmetology
Care for facial and body skin. This area needs a specialist with the relevant qualification: questions about skin condition, indications and contraindications are for a doctor or licensed professional, not for a description in a listing.
Massage and other services
Some venues offer massage or other care procedures. Whether your chosen place has them is shown on its profile, or you can ask directly.
How to choose an area for your goal
It is easier to start from the goal than from the name of a venue.
- You want a fresh look. Start with hair: a cut or colouring. If you are unsure, the stylist will suggest options for your hair type during the consultation.
- You want neat hands. Look for a nail studio or a salon with a manicure specialist, and check portfolios for the coatings you like.
- You want to define your face. Brows and lashes: pay attention to the specialist's focus so the work matches what you want.
- You are concerned about your skin. That is a question for a medically qualified specialist. A beauty salon does not replace a doctor's advice.
- You are preparing for an event. Plan several procedures ahead and book early. Whether they can be combined in one visit, and in which order, depends on the venue, so ask.
Where to search in Lviv: districts
Lviv is easy to browse by district: the catalogue offers Halytskyi, Zaliznychnyi, Lychakivskyi, Sykhivskyi, Frankivskyi and Shevchenkivskyi. For regular procedures such as a manicure or a haircut, it makes sense to choose a place near home or work: the trip takes less time and it is easier to keep going to the same specialist. For rare, important visits such as preparing for an event, you can search beyond your own district.
Search suggestions show that people also search by street, for example Franka, Stryiska, Shevchenka or Mazepy. Each venue profile on Upgrade lists an address, so compare it with the route you usually travel.
What to look at in a salon profile
- Service list. Make sure the procedure you need is listed, not only something similar.
- Address and district. Compare it with how easily you can get there.
- Prices. If they are listed, check what is included and whether the price depends on length, complexity or the specialist.
- Specialisation. A narrow-focus venue is often stronger in its area; a versatile one is handy when you need several procedures.
- Booking method. See how you can book and whether you can choose a specific specialist.
Lviv barbershops in the catalogue
If you need a men's cut or beard care, look at barbershops. The Lviv catalogue includes several of them, among them VILNYI Barbershop and Old Town Barbershop. Open the profile before you go and confirm the services and address.
Being a model for a master: a less usual option
Some masters look for people on whom they can practise a technique or add to their portfolio. Such services are offered for the cost of materials or at a discount. You can browse offers in the models catalogue. This is not fashion modelling but an ordinary service on special terms, so agree the details in advance.
Planning your visit
- Decide in advance which procedure you need and find it in the venue's service list.
- Book with time to spare, especially for weekends and before holidays.
- If it is your first time with a specialist, prepare reference photos and mention allergies or sensitivity.
- Ask how long the procedure will take so you are not rushed.
- Open the venue profile again before you go: the address and services may have changed.
