Freshen up your haircut at ROSE DONALD
This is a confidential address that the Parisiennes spin under the coat. Nestled in a hidden passage near the Marais (3rd arrondissement), ROSE DONALD wants to be a nice stopover in the heart of the tumult of the capital. Here, the ancestral rituals and natural care protocols developed by Rose delicately celebrate the art of taking care of yourself.
When you push the door of ROSE DONALD, you do not enter a classic hairdressing salon, but in a beautiful boudoir, poetic and elegant setting where time seems suspended... We then discover a intimate and warm universe where taking time for yourself turns into a real moment of pleasure.
Before going on vacation, we recommend the house's signature treatment: the Keratin care ritual. Inspired by Japanese techniques, this protocol cleanses and revitalizes the hair by alternating multiple oils and other elixirs... The 5 molecules of keratin applied thus inflate the fiber from the inside and restore all its beauty. True hair anti-aging, the hair then regains a second youth, with effects that last between 4 and 6 weeks. The mermaid's mane is yours all summer long!
count 1h15 of care and styling included in the service and 180 € to find sublime soft, light and shiny hair.
Maison Rose Donald, 4 Passage de l'Ancre, 75003 Paris - 01 43 70 35 64. Open Wednesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 19 p.m.

Finalize your hair removal at Epiloderm
In 15 years, the 'hair removal treatment' created by Sandrine Azoulay established itself on the market thanks to its new approach, revolutionary : " The Epiloderm® method ". This is a patented technique, which goes hand in hand with a range of depilatory waxes (Classic, Sensitive or Evolution) and treatments also patented. Dispensed only on training, it is carried out in two stroke : a first pass in the direction of hair growth with very wide and thin strips then a second pass – very slow – in the opposite direction, in order to grab the down, which is finer and more fragile. Contrary to traditional hair removal, this method has several bespoke, non negligable. It offers an immediate peeling effect thanks to natural waxes, it annihilates the subcutaneous hairs and ensures slower regrowth. But its real advantage is that it is much less painful!
