Shopping for Clothing, Cosmetics, and General Goods in Montenegro: real experience from chats

Short answer
For specialized equipment, beauty supplies, and sports gear, search local stores like Aleksandar Cosmetics, Intersport, or Chinese-owned shops. Major fashion retailers are concentrated in Podgorica's Big Fashion mall, while used items are best sourced through local Facebook groups and Telegram channels.

From real experience

To purchase equipment like massage beds or eyelash extension lamps in Montenegro, specialized stores catering to beauty salons would be the primary source.
While specific store names may vary, searching for 'beauty supply stores' or 'salon equipment suppliers' in the relevant city (e.g., Budva) is recommended. It might be necessary to inquire at larger shopping malls or directly with beauty professionals for recommendations.

Travelers requiring specialized gear should purchase it in EU countries like Italy, Germany, Austria, or Czech Republic before arriving.
