Really cute and small beauty concept shop - there's a nail bar to get manicures (Essie or Kure…read moreBazaar polishes), a make up station, a room to get facials and massages, and a nice selection of beauty products. On the left side of the shop you can buy make up products as well as get your make up done (day or night looks). They also carry a number of high-end, unique, and cult-favorite brands to care for your skin, hair, face, lips, and body. Downstairs, there's a private and peaceful cave-like room where they do the facials and full body massages. There's only one bed though, so you can't come with your BFFs to get massages all at the same time. The service, experience, and brands here are special so it's on the pricier side, but would make for a nice treat. You can preview their products and services online. They're quite knowledgeable about all the products but aren't pushy. The owner Juliette is really sweet and also speaks English if, for example, you don't know how to say, "I'm looking for a hair product that will give me a perfect slightly-wet, silky look all the time."

Worst Sephora ever. I went to return something only to be bombarded by the security guard as I was…read moreleaving after he followed me round the whole shop. I was not made to feel like a customer but instead some kind of juvenile.

I am an American, and I'm addicted to my hair tools…read more No - I refuse to be ashamed! I use a hair dryer and flat iron at least a couple of days per week because I have a thick, wild mane and despite it being straight, it's often unruly... unless there's a good amount of deliberate intervention. And because I'd prefer to use hair appliances that actually work to their full potential, I skipped buying a 'dual voltage' flat iron while still in the States and instead opted to purchase one in France. If you think about the math, it works out: 35 EUR for an appliance that you'll actually own for future trips to Europe vs. a single blowout at the same cost. Convinced yet? Actually en route to the Monoprix in search of said flat iron, I noticed Cyra Lydo and decided to stop in. And I'm glad I did: I had at least a dozen flat irons to choose from... everything from travel-size Babyliss irons selling for 25 EUR to high-end heat tools. I picked a mid-range appliance and was quickly on my way. Result = good hair days throughout the duration of my trip, save for the day I was drenched in unexpected downpour. Tip for American travelers: Don't forget that the maximum temperature is expressed in Celsius vs. Fahrenheit!

In Paris, getting your nails done can be quite expensive. It isn't like in the USA where you can…read moreget a mani/pedi for maybe even only 20 dollars... no, here, even the cheapest salon will set you back 40 euro. That being said, you can get a polish change at Culture of Color for 5 euro ! They also do a gel mani for 30-something which lasts 2 weeks. In my professional opinion, it is the best place to get your nails done in the city from the price/quality standpoint.

Went in for a badly needed pedicure with a friend who had just arrived for a visit from the US…read more Chairs in the back were comfortable, but we're in the line of traffic to the back room supply. Not exactly a spa environment, but the staff was adorable and very friendly, trying very hard to speak English to my friend. The actual pedicure was average (did I mention I needed this badly?) but the polish was perfect and was such a treat. Easy to make an appointment online, which is a plus for those with poor spoken French (ahem). Nail bar out front was full. Great selection of colors and high quality OPI products.

My college age daughter and myself had a wonderful afternoon at Le studio des Parfums. …read more CONFIRMATION: We used their website to book directly rather than a 3rd person group like TripAdvisor, where they promptly confirmed our reservation as well as sent a reminder email (we originally booked with another perfumer via viator but had no contact, no confirmation, no record of activity thus we assumed they never received our reservation...that's another story). Les studios was incredibly professional in handling our reservation. OUR EXPERIENCE : Lola, our "nez", was fabulous. She gave a really interesting detailed explanation as to not only what we were doing but how and why in both French and English as there was another person in our tiny 3 person group who did not speak English. We did not feel rushed or ignored as rated our scents. Lola was also very patient -it took my daughter and I longer to create our perfumes following the recipe Lola created for us based on our scent likes and rankings- than the other person in our group who finished about half an hour early than we did. It was interesting as she thoughtfully asked us questions as she created our personal perfume recipe making sure to balance the base notes, middle and top notes of our unique scents. FINISHING UP: At the end she helped us come up with an interesting name for our perfume, made sure we correctly finished paperwork that would allow us to reorder our creations if we wanted in the future and gave us some very welcomed recommendations of a special cake place and other food recommendations. 5/5 all day long. Our experience creating perfume guided by Lola was amazing and I recommend you do this the first day you are in Paris as you will create a scent that will be tied to your Paris memories. What a great way to start a very exciting mother daughter trip. Thank you Lola!
