Organic Beauty Salons in Paris
If you're looking for an organic beauty treatment in Paris, the first thing you should know is that the word organique is a faux ami. The buzzword here is bio -- short for biologique -- and Paris is full of options for the eco-conscious girl who takes care of her looks. From all-natural haircolor to full body treatments, there's nothing crunchy about Paris' leading bio-chic beauty establishments.
Romain Colors
37, Rue Rousselet
75007 7ème Arrondissement Paris, Paris, France
At the luxurious Romain Colors near the Bon Marché, Romain and his team will apply a range of all-natural haircolor and treatments from his aromatic "fairy potion" line … made from ingredients like jojoba, rosewood, and ylang-ylang, that promise to restore your mop to a beautifully natural state. You can also sign up for time in La Beautyroom for massages and beauty treatments using Doux me cosmetics or an organic hair and scalp treatment and massage. [link]
Renaissens
16, Rue Saint-Marc
75002 2ème Arrondissement Paris, Paris, France
At the chic Renaissens spa in the 2nd, the all natural "fresh touch" fruit massages are a little gimmicky, but they have a certain appeal for the health nut who won't put … anything on her skin she wouldn't put in her mouth. Choose a seasonal fruit, and you will be served a glass of its juice before you are rubbed with its pulp (mixed with neutral) oil to give your skin a natural glow. [link]
R Végétal
36, Rue Beaurepaire
75010 10ème Arrondissement Paris, Paris, France
At the Bobo-chic R Végétal off the Canal Saint Martin, Alain Texeira specializes in natural hair tints for trendy eco-conscious women. The salon has brick walls, … plants, and a relaxed atmosphere -- here you start with a shampoo but finish with a water rinse after you've had your hair treatment (you're allowed to use shampoo 24 hours later). Texeira promises that his natural hair dyes smell good and won't fade for two months. [link]
