The most glamour eco-friendly salon in town has moved to a new address, just 2 minutes away from its previous location, and you are going to love the new salon. More cocooning than before with its décor mixing warm wood, bricks and industrial vibes, located on ground floor with direct access to the street and floor to ceiling windows that give it a very European feel, emmanuel f. is the perfect place if you are looking for excellent hair services using eco-friendly and organic products. A seat of choice is the one on the mezzanine, just above the reception, if you love people watching as much as I do.

Xtreme lashes brings you lashes on fleek with Volumation^TM

Eyelash extensions are nothing new but it’s one of my go to when comes sunny days. Between the humid sticky summer weather that sometimes makes your mascara to flow and the fact that I am spending most of my weekends at the beach or on a junk, I love the idea of having a flawless look with a minimum of efforts aka an eyelash extensions appointment at Xtreme Lashes. While traditional extensions involve applying just one extension per natural lash, Volumation^TM extensions are thinner therefore looking weightless which allows to apply more to one natural lash to create a fuller, yet still very natural, look.
