As well ashaircuts, these salons offer massages (shoulders, neck, scalp, shiatsu facial, etc.), pretreatmentconsultations, steam baths, poultices and treatments using high qualityproducts which are often organic. Indulge yourself!
For some self-care as well as some pampering for your hair, you can make an appointment at Le Salon d’Angélique in the 8th arrondissement, which offers a whole menu of Hair Spa treatments with massages, scrubs and treatments, not only for the head and neck but also for the hands and feet.
Superstars Hairsalon has a Japanese style, which is no surprise considering the brand also has a salon in the centre of Tokyo!
