When we think of beauty, we tend to think of Parisian women, and Catherine Deneuve embodies this seductive species. Christophe Robin is her hair colourist of choice and now he has staked his claim on the charming rue Guénégaud.
The atmosphere is comforting and chic; from a high-tech wire staircase to cute cow statues, there’s humour to be found, along with a great head of hair. You can also get skin care, manicures, medical pedicures, and a 50 minute osteopathic treatment. This is indulgence at its best.
Situated in the fashion label’s flagship store, this futuristic spa will transport you from the busy streets to blissed-out luxury. Using coloured lights, state-of-the-art equipment and a healthy dose of humour, this spa sets the modern standard in Paris. Choose from unique massages and facials or even take a siesta. But if it’s your mind that needs therapy, then opt for 45 minutes of lying down and ‘expressing yourself to your heart’s content’.
