Beauty and wellness Côte Est Etats-Unis

A New York institution! Since 1851, it has been producing creams, lotions, shampoos, cosmetics, perfumes and advanced beauty products. Many models and showbiz personalities buy their supplies from Kiehl's, the brand used in its time by the Everest 88 expedition team. The staff in white coats is welcoming and the decor looks like an old-fashioned pharmacy. This address is also the first to be established in New York, which now hosts seven other stores.

Arrojo Hair Salon includes a cosmetology school that trains the future hairdressers of New York. If the prices of the salon are simply unaffordable (count between 100 and 250 US$ for a simple couple, without counting the tips), you will be able to pass between the hands of its students without breaking your piggy bank. Cut, coloring, care... everything is possible, and the trainer is present at all times to supervise the students. A real good plan.

Founded in 1892, these Russian and Turkish baths belong to a generation of public hygiene places that flourished on the Lower East Side when apartments were devoid of bathrooms. Nothing to do with the hyperactive atmosphere of the health clubs; here, laziness is a must, and everyone can stay as long as they want, while enjoying the facilities: the Finnish sauna, the Turkish bath (sweat room), the gym and, above all, the extraordinary Russian Steam Room, all in cement and equipped with a huge oven.

The garden and view are impressive in this huge capillary area on the floor of a beautiful Meatpacking building.

The colours are perfect, as are hair care.

This new spa on the northern tip of Governors Island is proof that every effort is being made to revitalize this long neglected island. The program includes saunas, steam rooms and massage rooms, all in a decor designed as a tribute to the Big Apple, whose towers can be seen through the windows. The panoramic views of the skyline from the heated outdoor pools contribute to the sense of well-being and exclusivity sought. The spa is currently under development and will soon be extended to the neighboring buildings.

In New York City, you'll quickly notice that there are many Asian-owned massage parlors offering particularly interesting services. This one offers one-hour foot reflexology massages at unbeatable rates. The comfort is not the same as in a real spa, but if you are not shy and don't mind having your feet massaged in front of complete strangers, you will be delighted! Body massages, performed in small individual rooms, are also available.

Inspired by the Greek and Roman baths of antiquity, Aire Ancient Baths offers moments of pure relaxation in a unique, almost mystical atmosphere. You can come here with friends to bask in the company of the pools at different temperatures, then slip away for a massage by candlelight. Aire Ancient Baths is to New York what the hammam of the Grand Mosque is to Paris, where you can meet with friends or couples to unwind after a day of work or sightseeing. Perfect to forget the hustle and bustle of the city.

American women spend a lot of time on the beauty of their hands and feet. This Upper East Side nail salon offers the best of the best!

Arriving in Boston from the south of France, Serge and his two brothers founded Safar in 1979. Their passion for well-being, their personalities and their ambition make them a renowned address in Boston (and also in Miami). In constant evolution, the quality of services and customer satisfaction have remained the main assets of this show. Hair, nails, make-up, hair removal, nothing is left to chance. During your stay in Boston, if you want to be pampered in French, Safar is a must.

This excellent spa, part of the beautiful Stoweflake Mountain Resort, offers a wide variety of treatments, from the most traditional to the most inventive. In total, a good hundred treatments are offered, some of which are typical of the region: this is the case of the maple syrup massage, available for the body or face. Spa guests have access to the gym as well as the pools, whirlpool and sauna. The location is very pleasant and the service is excellent. The staff is also very competent.
