Looking for a great salon?
A good party dress seems to look better when the body’s been scrubbed, polished, buffed and the hair ‘coiffured’. Here’s our choice of best salons in town to do just that! There’s not a great selection of luxury spas in the Loire so if you’re travelling to Paris I’d say wait. (see our Paris section).
For makeup and perfume, you can visit the big cosmetic chains; Sephora in rue Michelet or Marionnaud or Douglas in the FNAC Centre rue National. I’ve come to love these stores for the latest brands and wide variety. Here’s a list of great hair salons and reasonably priced beauty treatments.
