Face

If the eyes are the windows to the soul, then the eyebrows are its frames. Beauty experts will tell you that the shape of the eyebrows plays a very important role in balancing your facial features and framing your face. From having the right shape to getting perfectly groomed eyebrows, l’Atelier du Sourcil is dedicated to giving women (and men!) some much-needed attention. Founded by Joss Devillenueve, a talented, celebrity makeup artist and dermopigmentation expert whose success spans both the US and France, l’Atelier du Sourcil uses her own unique method of shaping eyebrows, combined with dermopigmentation and makeup techniques. From eyebrow styling and restructuring, to pigmentation and eyelash extensions, this unique concept salon welcomes you into its boudoir. http://www.atelierdusourcil.com

Hair

It’s the perfect time for a change in hairstyle as temperatures get warmer and colors get brighter. Each season brings not only changes in fashion but in hair trends, too. Maison Mario Lopes’ team of professional hair stylists are up to date on all the current, must-try styles of the new season, making sure that each new cut is a perfect fit. With more than 20 years of experience in the beauty industry, Mario Lopes started as an apprentice at 16 years old and obtained his master’s certificate at 20. Winning awards from major hairdressing competitions and now a member of the Haute Coiffure Française, his Mediterranean highlighting treatment is one of the salon’s trademark services. For Summer 2014, the style expert recommends cuts with opposing volumes, extreme blonde colours, and caramel highlights. http://www.lopesmario.com

Body

When it comes to luxurious pampering, Spa by Clarins is recognized as one of the best all over the world. It has now found another home in Paris within the walls of Molitor, the exclusive Parisian club that recently reopened its doors. The Spa has 13 booths, including two private suites, steam rooms, saunas, a library, both a salon and barber, and even a library. Here, Clarins developed three signature rituals exclusively for Molitor’s guests—full body treatments that take care of you from head to toe.

Wet look

On the catwalks this season the hair cream Wet look was everywhere and is

coming back next winter. A pervasive trend on the fall/winter podiums

2013/14.  By preference, the wet look is worn with the hair tied back, but at

Cavalli the look is loose and smooth and just a little wet.

Here’s the secret of a wet root that holds up all

day long. Work it strand by strand, and to

guarantee that perfect look, don’t hesitate to use

gel on different layers of hair.

Grunge

Head over heels for the grunge look!

Forget those straight fringes and finely smoothed strands.

Next season let the hair grow out until it falls over the eyes, then tousle the locks for a look inspired by grunge! The book on this look is straight out of the 80/90’s: battle-ready hair

in “rolling-out-of-bed” mode with wax, popular trend for short cuts with striking make-up.

The un-kept effect is elaborate yet says “cool” all over, while asymmetric is in vogue. It’s the coiffure of choice if you want to break all rules.

Ponytail or low pony

On the podium this season a new-look ponytail dethroned the dancer’s chignon. Elegant,

totally smooth and sexy! It takes its shape at one’s desire. A high or low ponytail, pulled back

tight or in soft locks, the possibilities are endless and always in style. So what does one do with long hair next winter? Attach it low! Either a sophisticated look with curly looks to hide the elastic or choose a fine black band for total simplicity. At Alexander Wang, the pony is a different look than the rest of the hair, ideal to break out of winter’s routine and put a little life back in one’s day.

Braids & romantic

The braided crown more than ever is in royal style next winter. The tousled or Bavarian sage appearance, that’s the choice. Pulled towards the front of the head, crossed in the back, or falling off to the side, anything goes. This coiffure is its own bold statement, adding to a resolutely romantic and soft touch to the one who wears it.

Volume XXL

Short hair and boring make-up is no way to spend the winter. Make

room for volume in a hairstyle with curls that give an incomparable airy

appearance. Ultra voluminous curls that can be tamed with a streak of

color on the side or a discrete barrette. Accessorized (ex: sunglasses),

this hairstyle gives you the vintage movie star attitude.

Curls and volume: nostalgia for an era when every woman wore a

salomé.
