For such fabulous quality you would expect to pay a fortune, but no! My fantastic eyebrow wax with old Hollywood allure was one of the best I've ever had, and my bikini wax was so impeccably and painlessly done that I almost fell asleep, and the two combined cost me just 29E. A total steal! I hear that their other beauty services are great too. Definitely my new go-to beauty address.

A TMI review but.... here goes!…read more I was in Paris for a couple of days and wanted to clean up a little ;) so I came here exclusively because it was the only place I could find (as an American researching in English, with limited french) with épilation au sucre or sugaring waxing. I guess there's a bunch of other places too but with good ole yelp reviews, I felt most confident in coming here. I went for an épilation maillot integral, aka a Brazilian if you're American. I didn't have a french number nor phone service so I couldn't make an appointment so I came in during the beginning of my trip to make an appointment for the last day of my trip. They had a handful of open spots but both times I was there, there were at least 2-4 in and out customers do I figure they get their usuals. So, I come in for my appointment and just as Brazilian sugaring is in the US, it's quick! My lady was super sweet and despite my desperate attempts to speak only in french, I struggled and they were super sweet--everyone was able to communicate with my broken french/English mainly which was nice! The sugar was a bit hot and maybe more sticky vs tacky than I was used to but it worked out okay and my lady did a pretty good job. my sugaring, once done, only costed 27€ because I am lucky to be pretty hairless as is LOL. However, it's normally 40€ Voilà ! Merci beaucoup, la sultane spa, je suis content :)

I wish Centre de Beauté Indienne weren't such an inconvenient distance from my apartment and my…read morework. The threading technique is just catching on in France and I think it's much better than waxing for facial hair. The women at Centre de Beauté Indienne are experts and the thead goes so fast you can hardly see it. Threading leaves no pimples or redness. It costs between 5 and 10 euros and you can go without appointment. They also do waxing for bikini lines and legs. And ... they have great facials. I've only done the basic one, which consists of 1 hour of massages, steaming, creams and masks and costs 29 euros, which I need hardly add is almost half the price of a standard facial at a "normal" French spa. You're "supposed" to have a facial every month, finances permitting, and Centre de Beauté Indienne makes it possible. Be prepared, of course, for the fact that going to the Centre de Beauté Indienne is not an "exclusive" experience, but "populaire," in the French sense, which means that you will have to tell them you want your mustache threaded in front of 20 other people and then you will be seated in one of the chairs right in front of the window and they will thead your mustache or chin or whatever in front of all passerby and people seating (or standing - sometimes it's very busy!). There is a TV blasting Bollywood videos in the corner. If you have a facial, you won't be lying alone swathed in plush white towels in a dimly lit room with cheesy rock sculptures and a cd of babbling brooks and bird noises. You will probably be led to a small room in the back of the main room, where you'll take off your shirt and bra in front of other people who are getting waxed. The women who work there will talk to each other in Hindi or another language. The lights go on and off and there is a steady hum from the crowded main room where people are chatting and waiting and the Bollywood music is throbbing. if you are not of Indian origin, you may be the only person not of Indian origin waiting in the waiting room and all the other women will stare. They seemed a bit confused by my presence in the beginning, but I persisted because even in Paris, with its huge immigrant population, even if there's a word for it in French, they don't really understand the concept of "brassage" (mixing -ie the fameux American melting pot) like they do in NYC where everyone and their mother gets threaded. I love the ambiance. I think it's lively and actually soothing. I like that Centre de Beauté Indienne is so successful and busy. The other day I brought a friend for a facial at 11 am before the crowds arrive and the six women who work there were decked out in absolutely gorgeous colorful saris with immaculate make-up waiting to start the day. It occurred to me that they must be doing pretty well. I love the neighboorhood, in the 10th near La Chapelle, full of Indians and African-French women in coton batik dresses and turbans. But, for those who prefer to be swathed in snow white towels in a dim room with fake rocks and a sea waves cd playing, then this is probably not for you.

I went to Stella the other day to get my eyebrows and upper lip threaded. As a threading enthusiast…read morewho has been getting threading done for several years now in place like New York, Boston, Salt Lake City, and now Paris, this place is what everyone has been saying: they do a great job when it comes to threading. I've been living in Paris for the summer and found the place via Yelp. Side note: According to their website they have more than one location so some of the reviews on here may have been talking about other locations because the venue descriptions may match the one at Passage Brady. Pros: *Quick, painless (I think the most painless threading I've ever received), and affordable. Every hair was removed! *If you aren't fluent in French some of the women can speak a little English enough to communicate what you need to get done. *The location is convenient: there are four metro lines that pass through the area (although out of Paris' city center) and is a quick walk from the metro from the KFC on the corner. It's not the snazzy and glamourous Paris that one might be used to as a tourist but it's perfectly fine and is a nice change in scenery from the touristy areas of the city. I didn't think it was sketchy at all. Cons: *One of the women who was doing threading was using a facial brush (the one found at a barbershop to brush away access hair that has been cut off) all over the face of every single client that sat in her chair after she would thread them. I found that to be unhygienic seeing that it was used all over on at least four different women's faces during the time I waited. *When it was my turn to have gotten threaded, the woman had just done someone else's nails and a pedicure and instead of washing her hands she used hand sanitizer before doing my brows. Kinda gross seeing that she just touched someone else's feet and her hands were so close to my face. Tips: *Bring cash: credit cards can only be used for total amounts of at least 15 euros. *Skip the lotion they offer at the end: I'm used to getting Aloe Vera in the States to soothe my skin after threading so accepted the lotion. The lotion wasn't anything special: it has a super strong scent that I didn't find fragrant at all and unfortunately followed me around for about an hour that I didn't need. *If the person who threads you uses the facial brush and you don't want it speak up and tell them not to use it or just bring your own tissue to wipe off your just-threaded hairs. *It's a small venue so be prepared to stand and wait if there aren't any chairs available. Overall a good place to get your threading done. Just need to improve on some of the hygienic aspects between clients. Five stars for the threading but unfortunately had to dock off two stars because of the previously mentioned cons.

It's a little oasis in a busy city that's worth a visit (if you're a lady, no dudes). Now - here's some things you need to know: *They provide disposable bottoms but you can bring a bikini if you want. Pretty much all the ladies had them so you probably want to bring one too. The disposable bottoms don't cover much. *Be prepared to be horrified by how much dead skin you're in possession of. They're going up get all of it. *This appears to be a popular spot for ladies to come together so I was probably one of the only solos - a little awkward. *I did the Prestige package and it was WORTH IT. *They give you a comb & have hair dryers do you can make yourself presentable after. *Everyone is seriously the nicest.

Honestly, Paris airport isn't the most inviting place, so I wanted to take a moment to relax here before facing the airport's frenzy. The spa is pretty exclusive, and I felt completely safe with the staff. While there might be some binary individuals, the environment is designed to make everyone feel at ease. You can enjoy your privacy, and the massage and other services are incredibly comforting when you need some time alone. My French isn't perfect, but I managed well, and they were very accommodating.
