Yannick Salomon. This masseuse completely changed my life. She is so caring. I've always had a problem with my legs, they're my pet peeve. In a matter of 4 sessions, she was able to reduce cellulite by 50%.
Her technique combines lipo cavitation and radiofrequency. Safe to say, I’d never seen anything that effective.
Yannick Salomon : 7 bis rue Decrès, Paris 14th. Reservation on WhatsApp at 06 41 44 73 74.
Lisa Beaucage at the Centre Elément. I loved their lymphatic drainage massage, inside a gorgeous yoga studio in the heart of the Marais. Lisa is very gentle and her treatments are incredibly soothing.
For the dedicated ones, a Japanese infrared sauna (the Iyashi Dome) is available after the treatment.
Very powerful to detoxify.

Adrien Coelho. This gifted hairdresser returned home after a decade in the US to set up shop at Café Kitsuné in France, where actresses from the Comédie-Française and politicians gather. He showed me his signature line of minimalist hair care products: four products capable of doing what 10 normally do.

Rose Cartel. A beauty spot in the Marais with a very cool decor and underground cabins that’ll make you think you're on a boat. I like to go there in springtime for Renata Franca lymphatic drainages - a great way to slim down legs before wearing skirts.

Delphine Courteille. An outstanding hairdresser (I should know, I've tried countless of them).
She’s able to cut your hair to the last strand to achieve the perfect hairdo.
In her courtyard salon near the Tuileries, you may occasionally run into Isabelle Adjani or Sophie Fontanel.
Next appointment on my wish-list: the “memory blow-dry”, a new treatment that is said to work miracles to tame your hair.

La piscine Pailleron. I am crazy about this vintage pool with large windows. They offer a variety of classes that are great for draining and working the muscles: aquagym, aquaboxing, aquabike...
The perfect solution to have lighter legs. Bonus point: inexpensive.
Piscine Pailleron : 32 rue Edouard Pailleron, Paris 19th.
Institut Luca Bagnara. Luca owns a remarkable address book. And for good reason: he is an exceptional masseur who knows how to tune into the body. He’s developed his own tools for madero therapy.

Le Hammam de la Grande Mosquée. The place is not glamorous but it does offer the best scrub in all of Paris. You are initially sprayed with black soap then scrubbed vigorously before being rinsed with a hose. A real treat!
I would recommend going there in the summertime. Contrary to popular belief, the best time to cool off is when it's hot.

Le studio Olivier Gay. On the top floor of a building in the Rue de Penthièvre, the place is wild, it has a tropical greenhouse and is filled with birds... I have my eyebrow microblading touch-ups done there with the boss Olivier, Walter or Farida. The results are unreal with a very natural dot by dot tattoo.
