Being beautiful in Paris
 

Hello Dahlings.
This question is for madames (pardon,monsieurs)I'll be in Paris in a week and Am very curiouse to go to a nice beauty salon and get real Parisian style hair cut. Is anywone have had any experience with it and any suggestions about the hair salon?
Thanks a bunch.

Carita is the gold standard if you want to pay the price--they are tops.

Thanks Dahling.
I looked at they website. I didn't found hair page(this page cannot be displaid, don't we all hate when it happened) however facials did turne me on...So I think I will have fun there.
Thanks again.

Replying so much later...I went to the first b/salon I saw on a major street(don't remember the name), had a great coloring, cut and blow for just E30.00 ..yeah me too was surpised...;-)

Your title reminded me of my friend's embarrasing "faux pas" when we were in Paris. She had studied French in college, but that's been a few (!) years and she remembered just enough to be dangeroux.

In the first several days I didn't think anything of it when she kept saying "Je suis tres jolie!". But then it clicked...she was saying "I am very beautiful". (Of course she meant "happy".)

She was mortified when I pointed it out. LOL!

Hi - Two of the biggest coiffure chains are really quite good, and non-intimidating. (I'd recommend you bring pictures with you though, if you're not sure how to explain your perfect cut in French)

They both also sell their products in Monoprix/Franprix/pharmacies, so if you really like the effect then stock up before you fly . . .

BTW esthetique refers to one's total look -- not just the haircut. You'll see Salons Biguine and Dessange on lots of streetcorners. Soyez belle alors !
