Nicolas Felice
“Nicolas has been my colorist for almost 15 years now and I trust him completely, especially since I’m quite picky about my hair: I only like natural colors, rather cool shades of blonde, and tapered cuts. He knows me by heart and only he knows how to reason with me when I suddenly want bangs or a short bob. New this year, he trained Gani in his very personal coloring technique, which means the wait time to get a color appointment at the salon is considerably reduced. A very good thing.” — Frédérique Verley, beauty editor-in-chief of Vogue France (8, rue St Florentin, 75001 Paris)
Donald Rose House
“This is the most intimate and charming hair salon in Paris! With antique furniture, period tapestry, and exposed wooden beams, the address looks exactly like a pretty country house. Here, ancestral rituals, beauty secrets of yesteryear, and natural protocols, all developed by the hostess, take pride of place. Having long hair (which I prefer to put up in a ponytail!), I don’t go to the hairdresser often. However, I remain faithful to this salon, booking an appointment every 5 months to maintain my balayage, the ultra-natural result of which develops a delicate patina over time.” — Mélanie Defouilloy, beauty editor and market editor at Vogue France (4 passage de l’Ancre, 75003 Paris)
David Mallett
“After years of searching for the hairdresser who could understand my color desires, David Mallett’s team is the only one I trust. I like my blonde cool, somehow both intense and natural looking—so every four to six months, I stop by for a visit. And I like to stay after: the salon takes up an entire floor with all of the most Parisian details like superb parquet flooring, moldings, and fireplaces, XXL windows… Finally, it is not uncommon to come across the two dogs of the famous Australian hairdresser.” — Marie Bladt, green and beauty editor of Vogue France (14 Rue Notre Dame des Victoires, 75002 Paris)
Coiffirst
“Experts in mid-length and long hair, the hairdressers are this gorgeous salon start by giving your hair a thorough examination, then come up with a treatment plan to give you the shiniest, smoothest hair ever. Each cut is sculpted to the millimeter, point by point, using a detailed technique.” — Mélanie Nauche, beauty editor of Vogue France (61 Rue de Caumartin, Fl 6, 75009 Paris)
