A guide to the best beauty secret spots in Paris

If you are constantly looking for the latest beauty treatments with undeniable results, don't settle for the same old places. Luckily, Paris is brimming with exceptional beauty destinations just waiting to be explored. To help you navigate this vibrant city, we've put together a guide to the must-visit spots for beauty enthusiasts, perfect for discovering cutting-edge treatments and enjoying the best the industry has to offer.

48 Collagen Café

Have you heard about the place taking the concept of "grabbing coffee" to an entirely new level? 48 Collagen Café is a Parisian haven created by Amandine Fornot, where beauty and well-being meet over collagen-enriched beverages. This isn’t just a typical café—it's a sanctuary for self-care and rejuvenation. Whether you’re planning a date with your best friends or treating yourself to some much-needed "me time," this spot is a true hidden gem for enhancing the beauty routine. "My idea was to create the first place to recover, recharge and reconnect with yourself to boost your health, immunity, beauty and live better and longer in a science and fun/cool way. Living in the city is very oxidative and stressful so we need to recharge our cells, help them, and be more comfortable with the idea of taking care of ourselves in a functional and aesthetic way" founder Amandine Fornot says of 48 Collagen Café. While collagen may not be a miracle powder, its benefits are undeniable. When incorporated into a healthy lifestyle, it can support anti-aging efforts, leaving the skin more radiant, hydrated, and plump. At 48 Collagen Café, there’s a variety of specialty drinks tailored to support wellness goals. From matcha lattes for deep detoxification to blue lattes for enhancing sports performance and pink lattes to maintain skin elasticity and glow, there’s something for everyone. But that’s not all—this café takes beauty and wellness to the next level with LED masks and photomodulation technology. In just 12 minutes, you can enjoy cellular regeneration by activating your energy cells. Furthermore, Amandine hosts weekly masterclasses featuring scientists, health professionals, dermatologists, and renowned brands. These sessions are designed to educate and empower beauty enthusiasts, helping them feel better in both mind and body.

Fauve

There’s nothing quite like a soothing scalp massage to melt away stress, lower blood pressure, regulate heart rate, and even promote hair growth. Conceived in June 2023 by Marine Morel, Fauve is built on the belief that truly beautiful hair begins with a healthy scalp. As Marina shared with G-Club: "Fauve brings to the scene the best products and treatments to make everyone’s hair look amazing. The creation of the Studio was aimed to take the most holistic approach possible—finding the right product, combining it with the right technique, and complementing it with proper nutrition." Studio Fauve pairs expert in-house treatments with an innovative range of nutrient-rich products designed to nourish the scalp and unlock its full potential. Among their signature techniques is fasciatherapy, a transformative method that targets the fascia—connective tissues that tense up under the weight of stress and negative emotions. This advanced therapy works to release tension, reactivate energy flow, and boost both the lymphatic and circulatory systems. The result? A revitalized scalp that feels healthier, more balanced, and ready to support vibrant, flourishing hair. "Another treatment I currently recommend is the Soin Illuminant, a 45-minute session designed to release all the tension around the skull, upper back, eyes, and jaw. It’s the perfect treatment for those who stay tense all day."

Facestellar

After exploring countless beauty salons, skincare centers, and facial massage studios around the world, Maria and Anna were inspired to create comprehensive facial massage services. Facestellar—hailed as "the beauty destination of the future." This concept blends traditional facial massage techniques with cutting-edge electro-beauty devices to deliver transformative results by working deeply on facial muscles and the lymphatic system. "We are thrilled to have launched our two centers in Paris and London, offering clients a holistic approach to facial care", the founders shared. Among their standout tools is the biomechanical system (BMS), which delivers vibrant vibrations, and the EMS device that contracts facial muscles for an effect unlike anything you’ve experienced before. Facestellar’s treatments are non-invasive, affordable, and performed by highly skilled professionals. The massages focus on lifting the face, addressing sagging, plumping nasolabial folds, and rejuvenating the lower face. Beyond aesthetics, these treatments also improve sleep quality and reduce bruxism. While the pressure is firm, the sessions remain deeply relaxing, targeting not just the face but also the neck, scalp, and cranial muscles. The benefits go beyond relaxation. Facestellar addresses skin concerns like imperfections, pigmentation spots, and dehydration, while also preventing early signs of aging. "For those exploring aesthetic interventions like hyaluronic acid fillers or Botox, these treatments serve as the perfect complement—ideally two weeks afterward. However, many clients are opting for Facestellar’s natural approach, with results that rival injections." The treatments can be done before going to work, during a lunch break, after leaving the office, or over the weekend, as the spaces are open on Sundays.

Shauna Nails Paris

Two years ago, Alice Grosjean made a bold move—she left her corporate role at Amazon to pursue her passion, opening her salon at 106 Rue Saint Honoré. Fast forward to today, Alice has become a celebrity nail artist collaborating with stars like Cardi B and Karol G, gracing fashion shows such as The Row, and working with global brands like Nike. Alice is renowned for her expertise in gel extensions and cutting-edge nail art trends. Among her most cherished creations is her 3D nail art, which she describes as holding a special place in her heart. "This summer, I created a set of floral nails that I’m especially proud of. I’ve also done some nails inspired by famous paintings, like Monet’s water lilies and Van Gogh’s starry night. I truly feel like an artist when I bring those masterpieces to life on nails." As for the trends dominating this year, Alice highlights the emphasis on creativity and self-expression. From playful polka dots to intricate 3D slime-inspired designs and abstract nail art, the possibilities are endless.

Spa Molitor stands out as a must-visit destination, especially with the introduction of Hydrafacial treatments to its offerings. This cutting-edge treatment uses patented technology to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate your skin—all in a single session. The results?

It begins with MyBlend’s double cleansing ritual, followed by Hydrafacial’s signature exfoliation, peeling, extraction, and hydration process. Next comes MyBlend's CellSynergy technology, which delivers an aesthetic cryotherapy session to soothe, boost microcirculation, and oxygenate your skin. The experience continues with a 15-minute MyBlend facial massage before unveiling the innovative myLEDmask. This mask uses pulsed red and infrared light to activate fibroblasts, stimulating collagen and elastin production for a youthful glow. To complete the ritual, a personalized selection of MyBlend products is applied. Whether it’s the apaisant or réparateur super-serum, the Concentré Regard Revitalisant, or the Crème Régénérante or Fluide Régénérant, each product enhances the experience, leaving your skin rejuvenated and radiant.
