Paris hair salon recommendation
Hello Fodorites--
Can you recommend a hair salon in Paris where I can get a well-styled haircut in the $50-$70USD range?
After eight trips to Paris, we treat ourselves to haircuts and eyeglass frames as mementos. More practical than Eiffel Tower sno-globes and less expensive than Hermes.

I think there are some past threads on this topic. I know I had a good haircut in the 7th at a place called Laurent. If you can find the thread (try my name, I guess, but I do a lot of posting) you can find the name of the hairdresser I saw. But I'm almost sure there are more recent recommendations. good luck.

Hi Julie - When I stayed at Hotel Duquesne, cnr. Ave. Duquesne & Ave.Lowendal, we often walked past a very nice hair salon on our way to Ecole Militaire Metro stop on Ave.De La Motte Picquet.
You will find the salon - also on a corner somewhere along that route.
My friend went in and enquired about getting a blow-dry ( she had shoulder length hair) and they quoted around 100euros.
Wish I could help more but you may have to chance it at a salon further out in the double digit arr. for cheaper prices.

Thanks for the recommendations. On previous visits to Paris, I went to a salon in the 7th (Carre Noir on Ave. Tourville) but the stylist I preferred has relocated to the UK.
I did find some older threads here, but no one made a specific salon recommendation. I will check out the AOL message board as well!
Thanks for giving me a couple of options to consider.

Julie,
Here is a link from reviews I gave on another site. Salons are Marianne Gray and Franck Provost. MG is much more upscale and I wish I could go there every 6 weeks. FP is a chain/franchise, but they had good standards and it felt great treating myself. Good luck & have fun.

I'm also interested in a haircut in Paris, but am wondering if I need to speak French beyond Bonjour and Merci? I've had terrible haircuts since we moved to Europe and would love a nice one, but want to be able to communicate. Thanks for any tips!

The name of a salon is not that helpful if you as the tourist are given the apprentice, or the stylist who is not busy because they suck,, LOL
Perosnally , unless you speak french I would hesitate,, I mean , most bad hair experiences here happen because of miscommunication and thats when there is no language barrier.
That said , you may hit it lucky,, you said you have done this for your last 8 trips, why not go back to one of those places?
PS 50 us dollar is what, about 30 euros,, not very much for a cut and blow dry.
I like the eyeglass frame idea, I may try that myself one day!
