Searching across the internet for the elusive Dr Russo, ‘Leading Harley Street Derma Surgeon’, who has had more open and shut clinics than Sherlock Holmes had cases, I’ve found several comments in forums stating that he is leaving a trail of unpaid bills. His flagship Westfield store opened, then closed, apparantly with even the builders not seeing a penny. His Canary Wharf Clinic opened, then closed, sold quickly on to Sk:n. His Milan clinic? Well, what Milan clinic? Most intriguingly of all, his ‘Harley Street’ credentials don’t stand up – his London practice is listed at Devonshire Street. Not the same thing at all. So, while I’ve had no direct contact – other than heresay – with Dr Russo, I’d suggest buyer beware for now. Interestingly, his skin care range, reported on in Cosmetics Business Magazine in 2008, has never materialised, despite releases going out to press.

Ahh Dr Russo. Yes I do have a bone to pick with them.
I use to go to the Westfield store for my manicures…only reason being as I got a 40% discount and free champagne.
Unfortunately when they closed they left a ton of irritated customers in their wake. Thankfully mine was only a manicure but for anyone half way through treatments…yikes!
Yes. I absolutely agree. Whilst I’m sure he’s a very competent surgeon and dermatologist, his business skills leave an awful lot to be desired. He evidently thinks he’s far too grand to pay bills – i know of at least one company that has had to go to court to get their money. Interestingly, he always makes his clients pay up front for their treatments.
Tatler carry a lot of advertising for Dr Russo: I can’t imagine they’re being paid for it, not in cash anyway.
