I'm here in Poland for the week and would really like to get a Decleor facial. I have no idea how to go about finding a good beauty salon here. Can anyone recommend one, preferably in central Warsaw?
ps. doesn't have to be Decleor.
TIA!  |

They only list a number for a distributor, no salons. 
Does anyone have any recommendations for a place here in Warsaw that does other good facials? |

Hello there,
This is pretty neat place http://www.heder.pl/
I used to go there for their fantastic tanning beds ( I know, I know, tannin is bad! )...
They offer a lot of other esthetic services
Hope this helps!

Try the "Sharley" salon on Aleja Jana Pawla II. Pricy but good.
You can also try Escape Salon and Day Spa (they definitely have Decleor and the place is very nice I hear) - it's on ul. Limanowskiego.
Enjoy! 
Btw, what's the weather like in PL at the moment? |

I'm back at home and back at work now  but at least I have easier access to the internet and, more importantly, to this forum!
So anyway, I got my Decleor facial done!  In the end, I found a salon which was just around the corner from me  http://www.instytutpiekna.pl/
Overall I was very impressed. Here's what happened...
The beautician diagnosed me as having combination skin, which is sensitive in areas. She said it was quite congested and that it needed something called "czyszczenie" which is basically opening up the pores, getting rid of all the gunk and then closing the pores. She said that I should be getting this done once every 2 months. I have never had a facial before  , so I have no idea whether this is something I can get done here in the UK? Or is it just a Polish thing?  Please somebody tell me that I can get that done here 
Next I had the Harmony facial, as my skin got very red after all the spot-squeezing I had originally asked for the Revitalising one, but the beautician said the Harmony would be much better for my skin. And it was! The end result was fantastic! (It even made up for the fact that I was not allowed to wash my face with anything other than pre-boiled water for 2 days afterwards!) To be honest, I never really thought I had a problem with obvious pores, but looking at my skin now, it looks completely transformed. Not one pore in sight! Its brighter and smoother and generally much happier. I've even had comments from people saying that I look "well" and have I had something done? (no one has ever said anything nice about my skin before). Just praying it stays that way now
This is what the beautician also told me:
1. She said that I was lucky not to have any lines around my eyes yet and that it is very important that I use an eye cream daily. She said that everyone from the age of 25 should do so, as the skin below our eyes is the thinnest, and does not produce its own moisuture. She said I should buy the most expensive cream I could afford as it is an investment and a preventative measure. Oh and she also said I could just use a thicker layer at night. Note to self: look up threads re recs for eye cream 
2. She said that Decleor products should not be used in conjunction with products from other brands. Which completely burst my bubble as I had been desperate to add the Ylang Ylang oil to my routine. I even went to the Decleor counter at House of Fraser in Guildford today to double check. The SA was happy to give me a sample of the Ylang Ylang oil, but said that I should not use it with a non-Decleor moisturiser. She did say that it was ok to use the balm at night though and she gave me a sample of that 
I know that many of you use the oils in your routine. Do you always follow up with a Decleor moisturiser?
Oops, I just realised how looooong my post has become so I'm gonna finish up now  |

Does anyone know why Decleor cant be used with other brand products?
I just ordered a night cream from them, I use a combo of different lines on my skin, so should I return the nigth balm? |

I would be interested in knowing the reasoning behind using Decleor only products. I honestly believe that this is some kind of urban myth that skin care companies spread so that you will buy all of their products. I personally think that you should use whatever products work best for your skin, regardless of what brand they are.
I use Decleor's ylang ylang balm and oil and have had outstanding results. They are the only Decleor products that I use and I haven't had any adverse effects.

I just wanted to make it clear that I was told two slightly different things:
The beautician told me that if I wanted to use Decleor then I should use only Decleor and nothing else. This did ring alarm bells for me as I was naturally suspicious of her genuineness.
The SA said that if I wanted to add the Ylang Ylang oil to my routine, then I needed to follow it with the Decleor moisturiser (I think it was the matting one). But she did say that the night time balm was ok to use with a non-Decleor cleanser and toner.
To be honest, my initial suspicion that the beautician wanted me to spend more $$ on her products, was completely wrong. I had to specifically ask her to make recommendations as to which products I should use and she was actually reluctant to sell any of these to me.
In the end, she just advised me to simplify my routine and to make sure that whatever it was that I was using, to change it every month. My products actually last me well over a month and there is no way I would to throw them out if they were working, but I think there is some merit to her advice re always changing brands so your skin does not get too used to something.
I am confused though because I have read many good things about people who have added only the oil to their routine. Has anyone else heard anything about this exclusivity thing? |

Czyszczenie is just deep cleansing and you will be able to get it in any salon you go to or do it yourself at home. I do mine about once a month (when I remember) and tend to use natural products for it (just my pref). Starting with the Dr H steam bath concentrate all the way through to the mask afterwards |
