Zoe
Zoī is a new wellness center that offers health checks and daily monitoring through an app to optimize health and ultimately extend life. The center analyzes around 200 health indicators to provide an overview of the entire metabolic system of the body. After the first visit and follow-up, you can sign up for an annual health check by a Zoī doctor and receive daily support through the Zoī app that provides recommendations tailored to each individual’s lifestyle and needs. Zoī, 12 rue Volney, Paris 2e
Nicholas Felice
Nicholas has been my colorist for over a decade, and I’m loyal to him not only because of our friendship, but because he knows exactly what I like when it comes to color (always natural), shade (always cool), and cut. He won’t let me try highlights or try to cut bangs at home. Nicola Felice, 8, rue St Florentin, Paris 1er
The Potager de Charlotte
This is my favourite vegan restaurant. Founded by two brothers, chef David and naturopath Adrien, they are passionate about healthy, colourful and nutritious food, as well as caring about animal welfare, environmental protection and a healthy lifestyle. Le Potager de Charlotte, 2 addresses: 12 rue Louise-Émilie de la Tour d’Auvergne, 9th arrondissement of Paris, 21 rue Rennequin, 17th arrondissement of Paris.
Herve Herault
Hervé describes himself as a mind and body therapist, and for his treatments he uses his own products with the most luxurious textures I’ve tried. Hervé interprets the skin holistically and spiritually. You’ll leave with radiant, glowing skin and feeling totally rejuvenated. To book: www.herveherau.com

Copyist
Manicurist is, in my opinion, one of the most innovative and cutting-edge nail brands out there right now, and it’s also home to one of New York’s coolest addresses: the 10th borough. In this spacious, two-story nail art temple full of light and color, you’ll find the brand’s wide range of nail polishes, as well as the premium accessories you need to create professional-looking nail art yourself, from dotting tools and brushes to the popular Green Flash LED Nail System. You can also book an appointment with a manicurist. This is the perfect opportunity to try a Detox Manicure, a five-step ritual that nourishes, revitalizes, and strengthens your nails. Manicurist, 19 Rue d’Enghien, Paris 10e
Marisol
Marisol’s “slow hair therapy” philosophy has made this hair spa, tucked away in a gallery at the Palais Royal, a popular destination. Known for its dry cuts, the salon also offers treatments like soothing cranial massages. Marisol, 63 Gare de Montpensier, Paris 1er
Diane Servant
Just steps from the Champs-Élysées, Diane Servane is a tranquil haven in the heart of the city. My favourite “Face Sculpting” treatment involves Diane’s incredibly gentle touch, intraoral and topical massage to reshape and plump your face, leaving you emerging with a radiant, rested complexion – almost like you’re floating. Diane Servin, 1 rue Villaret de Joyeuse, 17th arrondissement of Paris
Very Me
Belleyme’s warm atmosphere will transport you away from the hustle and bustle of Paris. Don’t miss energizing snacks like dates topped with peanut butter and CBD oil, or try the Pink Glow drink, a blend of beetroot, collagen, cardamom and maple syrup. Bellème, 8 rue Charles-François Dupuis, Paris 3e
Mélanie Defoillois, Beauty Editor
Spa Alaena
I’ve always been a fan of Spa Alaena’s spa, but their new space near Place de la République is already one of my favorite wellness spots. While all of their signature massages are mind-blowing, my favorite is their custom “Enea” massage, which uses balms and creams rather than oils. Their textures penetrate the skin and help therapists work deeper to release knots and release tension. Spa Alaena, 28 rue Meslay, Paris 3e
Officine Universelle Buly
Every time you walk through the doors of Officine Universelle Buly on Rue Saintonge, you feel like you’ve entered a time capsule. That’s thanks not only to the wonderful medicines Victoire de Taillac and Ramdane Touhami picked up on their travels, but also to the efforts of Tibetan master masseuse Tashi, who works in a hidden treatment room in the boutique’s back garden. Borrowing from Tibetan energetic massage, his bespoke treatments are unmatched in their effectiveness at enhancing the body’s vitality.
Officine Universelle Buly, 45 rue de Saintonge, Paris 3e
Farnaz Arhenji
Whenever I feel like my skin needs a little pick-me-up, I always make an appointment with Farnaz. After 16 years working under Joel Ciocco and three years training in Chinese medicine in Beijing, culminating in acupuncture, Farnaz decided to open her own clinic in the heart of the 8th District. Her bespoke facials leave skin feeling rebalanced and radiant.
Farnaz Paris, 20 avenue de Friedland, Paris 8e
48 Collagen Cafe
48 Collagen Café, the capital’s first ‘glow café’, distinguishes itself for its innovative wellness practices and futuristic décor, with all recipes containing anti-ageing proteins. From colourful smoothies to skin-revitalising collagen soup, every recipe is carefully designed to boost natural collagen. 48 Collagen Café, 48 Rue La Fayette, 9th arrondissement of Paris

bloom
Relaxing for 45 minutes in Bloom’s pink Himalayan salt room will make you feel like you’ve spent three days at the seaside — it’s my favorite place to escape to when I want to recharge — and you can even choose a guided meditation and do some breathing exercises to enhance the effects of your halotherapy. Bloom, 4 Rue Étienne Marcel, Paris 2e
Facecult
If you need to book a last-minute facial, come to Facekult, a treatment that combines traditional facial massage techniques with the latest beauty tools. You can even book a treatment during your lunch break, but don’t forget to choose an extra 15 minutes, such as a hyaluronic acid-infused oxygen booster, to make the most of your visit. Facecult, 43 Rue d’Aboukir, Paris 2e
Spa Clemens
Located in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, this spot is like no other. Spa Clémence’s historic stone ceilings are lit by candlelight, making it seem a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Clémence’s signature treatment, the floating massage, is a must-try for relieving tension. Spa Clemence, 14 Rue des Saints-Pères, Paris 7th arrondissement
Heimat by Waris Dirie
This women-only gym in the 16th arrondissement occupies four floors of the former Musée Dapper and is outfitted with state-of-the-art Technogym equipment, reformer pilates machines, and art pieces that can be purchased with proceeds going to the Waris Dirie Desert Flower Foundation, an organisation run by the Somali supermodel who helped design the interior. “Heimat” by Waris Diry, 35 Rue Paul Valéry, 16th arrondissement of Paris

Seasonal
When my skin needs a little boost, I turn to the folks at Seasonly’s lovely studios: try the “Glow Booster” to stimulate facial radiance, the “Sculpt” to smooth skin, or the new “Spring Booster,” a seasonal treatment designed in collaboration with LED mask brand Nooance to flush out toxins and oxygenate cells at the end of winter, leaving skin purer. Seasonal, 2 rue de la Lune, Paris 2e
Leonor Gleyre
Leonor Greyl hair experts start your treatment with a complete hair diagnosis, using a micro scanner to examine the hair fibre and reveal exactly what your hair needs, resulting in a blend of oils and botanical extracts tailored specifically to you and your hair. Leonor Gleyre, 15 Rue Tronchet, 8th arrondissement of Paris
Aesthetic Clinic
Known for its painless, permanent hair removal technology, Aesthetic Clinic Center also offers a variety of face and body treatments, including Aquafacial, a multi-stage treatment that deeply hydrates all layers of the skin for a fresher, plumper appearance, and E-Sculpt, which uses a high-intensity electromagnetic wave system to reshape muscles in 30 minutes. Aesthetic Clinic, 21 Rue des Jeuneurs, Paris 2e
