Noelle Yasmeen★★★★★
I have been going to Dan at Beauty Elite since August/September for microneedling! I had never had any microneedling done before so I was a bit nervous. Dan answered all of my questions and made sure I was comfortable during the process. I’ve now had 5 treatments and I can really see a difference in my skin! Overall, I really appreciate the friendly and thoughtful service and aftercare provided at the end. I also have had a hydra facial that I loved! I definitely recommend going to Beauty Elite for these two services and I plan on trying others in the future!
Laura Zoccarato★★★★★
I am so happy I found this beauty salon. I felt immediately comfortable and the ladies were amazing. The treatment was very professional and the results so visible. I will come back

Flore Guyot★★★★★
We came on a Saturday to enjoy the one-hour Head Spa treatment for two at Beautyboom. We received a warm welcome upon arrival.
The treatment was a truly relaxing and rejuvenating experience. The allotted time was exactly as promised, and everything went perfectly.
We have absolutely no complaints; it was perfect! We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this experience.
Gaelle Stourbe★★★★★
I came in for a full set of nails with extensions, my first time getting them done for a wedding. Alia gave me excellent advice and is careful with the products she uses to avoid damaging my nails. She gives great tips and is really very friendly. I'm very happy with the result and highly recommend her!
Solène DUGRE★★★☆☆
I came in April for a head spa. It was my first, and I wasn't particularly impressed when I left. I've since had the chance to compare it with another spa.
The head spa offered was rather superficial. The procedure wasn't explained to me at the beginning. And the treatment itself lacked pressure and slow movements. It felt more like gently stroking my hair than a proper spa treatment. The service needs improvement, even though the woman who greeted me was very welcoming and friendly.
Anaëlle Mct★★★★★
It was my very first head spa experience, and I had a wonderful time. I received a very warm welcome, and everything was clearly explained at the beginning of the session. The massage was truly delightful, with various tools that made the experience even more relaxing. A big thank you to the masseuse who took care of me for an hour; it was a truly relaxing experience.
One small drawback, however: I could hear the entire nail service next door (the noise of the drill, conversations, etc.), which could sometimes slightly disrupt the relaxing atmosphere. Despite this, the experience was still very positive!
France Laurent★★★★★
I came with my daughter to enjoy an hour-long couples massage, it was wonderful! Extremely kind and gentle!
We will definitely repeat this mother-daughter experience.
Thank you both, ladies!

Paul Cochrane★★★★★
Great place
yves-morgan abata★★★★★
I came to discover the Bulle de Douces Heures spa for an Abhyanga massage, and what a wonderful experience it was! ✨
The massage was both invigorating and deeply energizing, exactly what I needed. You can feel the true expertise and perfect mastery of the techniques; it was a pure moment of well-being.
The welcome is warm, and you immediately feel at ease. The team is professional, attentive, and truly top-notch from beginning to end.
The spa is a real haven, perfect for relaxation and letting go.
I recommend it 1000% without hesitation! 🌿

For several years now, every time I need my nails done, I go to Iman's. She's incredibly kind and gentle! We're always treated like royalty at the salon. I recommend this salon a thousand times over for pampering! 🥰🥰🤩
Lyjea Alazgbo★★★★★
Go do your training with Iman. To my great delight, I improved tremendously and, thanks to Iman, the welcome and great atmosphere at The Cruz Beauty are wonderful: everything is perfect!!
chloe lfr★★★★★
I completed the training as a complete beginner with no prior experience, and I highly recommend Iman. She was incredibly kind throughout the entire course, patiently and clearly explaining everything to me, and she truly instilled confidence in me. It was a very enriching experience that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking to get started.
Elisa Lebouteiller★★★★★
I completed my beginner training at The Cruz Beauty Bar three weeks ago, and I had a fantastic time, learning so much in addition to everything else I did. Iman is a great teacher, very supportive, and she makes sure you leave with all the knowledge you need to succeed in the profession. I highly recommend it! 🤍

Faty BENHEL★★★★★
A wonderful, relaxing, and cozy salon. A very warm welcome. Excellent service. The esthetician took my requests into account. I highly recommend it.
Well done to all three of you! 🙏🙏🙏
June .H★★★★★
I just turned 40, have three children, and my buttocks have lost their tone, despite exercising! I'm not overweight, however, I could see that my skin lacked firmness and that the lower part of my buttocks was sagging. So I decided to try a course of the latest generation LPG at JM Beauté.
But I wasn't expecting such amazing results! I'm truly blown away! The welcome is always so warm, Cindy is very skilled and talented in her work! Good humor and kindness are guaranteed, in addition to having a wonderful bottom now!!
I recommend this place a thousand times over for LPG or any other services for that matter!
Eva Laurent★★★★★
My first experience at this salon and I'm delighted! I received a very warm welcome upon arrival and immediately felt at ease. The technician was gentle, caring, and highly professional throughout the appointment. The result is impeccable, and I will gladly return. Thank you again!
margo pavis★★★★★
I had an incredible experience at the head spa! The included facial was a huge bonus. Cindy was incredibly kind and gentle! I highly recommend it, thank you again so much for this 100% relaxing experience.

I was welcomed by Noémie for a mamassage, my first time, and the experience was simply incredible. The setting, the gentleness, the atmosphere—everything was perfect, making it a truly meaningful experience. I will be back very soon and with pleasure! Thank you again for this moment of bliss.
Emelyne Rabu★★★★★
A wonderful experience at Marthe's in Nantes for a facial treatment.
Noémie was lovely, full of helpful advice, and truly personalized the treatment to suit my sensitive, rosacea-prone skin. I felt listened to and confident from beginning to end.
It was a truly relaxing experience in a beautiful, welcoming salon, which also has a lovely selection of products available for purchase.
I highly recommend it! 💛
iléane Poitureau★★★★★
A pleasant and warm welcome, and a high-quality semi-permanent nail polish service! The salon offers a refined, natural, and relaxing atmosphere. The team is professional and friendly. The service was performed perfectly with great care, ensuring complete satisfaction. I highly recommend it.
Ms. Iléane Poitureau
Charlotte Sirot★★★★★
It had been a few years since I'd taken the time to return to Salon Marthe. Yet, I was a loyal customer there about ten years ago. I still stopped by to pick up gift certificates for teachers, friends, and colleagues. This week, I went for myself, and what a wonderful feeling! What I noticed is that the warm and soothing atmosphere is still there, that you're still so welcome, in short, that you still feel at ease. Thank you, Mathilde and Hélène, it's a pleasure to walk through your door.

Diane Moreaux★★★★★
I regularly go to Beauty Success, especially for my eyebrows, and I always go with Romane—she's lovely!
Honestly, these services can be a bit painful at first... but with her, it's the complete opposite.
She's so gentle that I could almost fall asleep during the treatment.
Beyond that, it's really helped me establish a routine and stick to it thanks to their regular appointments.
Marie Stef★★★★★
Delighted with the quality of the salon. Both the services and the team are excellent!
A loyal customer for 5 years, I find the staff always smiling, extremely competent, and conscientious. They are true professionals.
Every visit to the salon is a wonderful experience. The perfect beauty salon for me!
Top-notch massages and treatments. Thank you to Kassandra and Gwenaëlle for their professionalism! Their welcome is always warm!
Did Din★★★★★
I've been going to this salon since I arrived in March 2026. I go there regularly for waxing. Romane is very professional, friendly, and attentive. The treatments are fantastic. The team is amazing, especially Angelique and everyone else. I recommend it 100%!
Florian Husherr★★★★★
Excellent salon! Warm and very professional welcome. I won't hesitate to come back!
Thank you all for your smiles!
Sam Qui★★★★★
Romane is very gentle, professional, and always smiling. The salon is beautifully laid out and clean. It was an incredibly relaxing experience. I feel completely refreshed. A thousand thanks to Romane's magic touch and kindness. It was wonderful!

Gul Nasreen★★★★★
I got my hair cut here. Everything is great here.special thanks to Raya
Léa★★★★★
The best salon I've ever tried, whether in Nantes or Paris, and it's 100% female-only, plus there's no overlooking neighbors for those who prefer it 🤍
Each time, I left with exactly what I asked for for my highlights, even though it was a lot of work, especially the first time when they had to fix a previous color job that went wrong. Thank you so much for the warm welcome, and a special mention to Aline and Raya who are always lovely and attentive to their clients, taking the time to explain each step 🌟
Camille Thiblet★☆☆☆☆
Very bad experience.
The straightening treatment didn't work; it only loosened my curls a little, but it didn't straighten them at all.
As you can see in the photos, there's some residue from a previous straightening treatment on the ends, but you can clearly see that the roots and lengths aren't straight.
I called two weeks later to say that the result was completely unsatisfactory, and they offered me a fix for €150! I already paid €200 for the straightening treatment, and a touch-up should be free.
I waited over two weeks and had to follow up five times before receiving a response about a possible fix. I'm very disappointed with the salon, which had only good reviews.
Contrary to what you claim in your reply, I clearly told the hairdresser I wanted my hair as straight as possible to avoid the two-tone effect of straight ends and curly ends. It was indeed my mistake to contact you after my third shampoo, but I hesitated to call back because I was embarrassed by the situation, and the result, which wasn't perfect to begin with, deteriorated significantly after just three shampoos.
Lily Thiercelin★☆☆☆☆
Very bad experience.
The straightening treatment didn't work; it only loosened my curls a little, but it didn't straighten them at all.
As you can see in the photos, there's still some residue from a previous straightening treatment on the ends, but you can clearly see that the roots and lengths aren't smooth.
I clearly stated at the beginning of the appointment that I wanted the smoothest possible result to get rid of this double-texture effect.
I called after three shampoos because even though the result wasn't there after the first shampoo, after three it was even worse, and they offered me a fix for €150! (I shampoo once a week, to be clear.)
Even though I already paid €200 for the straightening treatment and a touch-up should be free, I was told that after three shampoos it was too late for a touch-up and that it would therefore be a new service. However, just before, I was told that in any case, touch-up or not, you have to wait two months between treatments to avoid damaging your hair.
I actually waited more than two weeks and had to call five times before getting a response about a possible touch-up (even though I was already very embarrassed to have to call back to ask for one). I'm very disappointed with the salon, which had only good reviews.
Sarah★☆☆☆☆
I went to this salon because it had a lot of good reviews and advertising. The person who styled my hair was very friendly, but the service was definitely not worth the price.
I had an Indian straightening treatment done, which only lasted about three weeks, even though I followed all the aftercare instructions. Paying such a high price for a result like that is really disappointing.
Reading other reviews, I see that I'm not the only one who was disappointed with the straightening treatments. Frankly, I don't recommend getting your hair straightened here; you risk wasting your money.

Belleil Marie★★★★★
Kindness, professionalism, a calming atmosphere, attentive listening to your needs, and so much more.
A client for over 5 years: go for it without hesitation! Whether it's for the spa (more recently opened but tried and tested) or the beauty salon.
In short, go for it!! Long live Odette Institut: thank you for existing ❤️
Léa Poisson★★★★★
I've been going to Odette for over a year for my eyebrows to be threaded by Anne, and the result is perfect every time, even though they were quite unsightly to begin with! It's truly masterful work in shaping the brows; you can go there with complete confidence.
I also had a manicure with semi-permanent polish applied by Floriane: perfect! Truly high-quality nail care.
Thank you for your advice, your professionalism, and the quality of the treatments and the warm welcome. A fantastic salon that I highly recommend!
Hélène Ferchaud★★★★★
A gorgeous manicure! Thank you, Odette, it was a lovely experience and the result was perfect. I'll be back for my wedding manicure!
Chiara NICOLAS GUEGAN★★★★★
Thrilled with my two appointments at Odette's! I let my eyebrows grow out specifically for this 🙂 Anne is incredibly gentle and calm.
I've booked another appointment for the end of October because my eyebrows really need it! I highly recommend this salon and I'm looking forward to trying the nail strengthening treatment at Odette's!

Josselin M★★★★★
I went to Patio des Capucines for an abhyanga massage lasting about an hour.
The welcome was very warm and the staff attentive. The salon is clean, heated, and well-appointed for a relaxing experience.
A good experience.
Tepthida Hay★★★★★
I received a back massage as a gift. A very relaxing first experience in a beautiful setting, with a very warm welcome. Thank you for relieving the pain that had been plaguing my neck since the weekend! I highly recommend it!
Тetiana★★★★★
It was incredible! The young masseuse knew exactly where to find all the tension points. I felt absolutely light after the massage. In short, pure bliss!

Anelle Iapalucci★★★★☆
As an American, getting your first wax in france was a bit intimidating. The services are a bit different. In any case, the salon looked very clean and organized. The women were very nice & welcoming. My beautician was friendly and completed the areas I wanted, however, I did not receive any oil or moisturizer after the wax. I know in the US they do this after a service and I did see on their website that they explicitly state they apply oil of some kind after the wax. So I was a bit disappointed in that as my skin was irritated. But overall, it was a good first experience in france.
Aplosia Rea★★★★★
I've had a body scrub and leg/chin waxing done at this salon before and I've always been warmly welcomed. The atmosphere is very peaceful and calming, and the professionals are reassuring and efficient. I highly recommend it.
manal Hassan★★★★★
"An exceptional experience at J'M BEAUTÉ! The team is extremely professional. A huge thank you to Laurence for her professionalism and dedication; she has become my number 1 choice and I highly recommend her. I tried waxing with her, as well as a facial with another colleague (whose name I don't know, but she was also great). A top-notch team!"
David Vergnaux★★★★★
A wonderful facial treatment with Laurence! Perfect! As usual.

A perfect time spent in their company. We came as a couple for a spa treatment and body care session. The massages are deep, delicate, and thorough, right down to the tips of your ears and nails. This spa is worth a visit, whether for yourself or as a gift; you won't be disappointed!

Laëtitia Chevalier loheac★★★★★
Hello,
I wanted to leave a very positive review after my visit for a balneotherapy session, a body treatment, and a facial. I sincerely thank Pauline, who has extraordinary hands. The quality of her massage and her professionalism are remarkable.
It was a wonderful moment of relaxation during which I was able to completely let go. And yet, I'm used to getting massages, but I must say that Pauline's hands are truly exceptional.
Thank you sincerely for this moment of well-being and for your attentiveness.
Laetitia 🌸
Laure Verdonck★★★★★
I went to the spa reception for a complimentary massage, as I'm pregnant. Morgane, who took care of me, was incredibly attentive to my situation and gave me a truly excellent massage! I'm a big fan of massages and get them regularly. Morgane's technique is precise and professional, and she really goes all the way with each movement. It was one of the best massages I've ever had, thank you again!

Absolutely wonderful! 🌟
I'm a regular at Le Patio Esthétique beauty salon, and it's always a pure delight.
When it comes to nails, Annie is a magician. Her work is incredibly precise and delicate; the manicure is impeccable and lasts beautifully. She has a real eye for detail!
As for the salon itself, I tried the treatments and massages with Marine: a truly timeless experience. She is exceptionally gentle and professional. You can tell she's a true expert in her field as an esthetician; her massage completely released all my tension.
The welcome is warm, the atmosphere is relaxing... In short, a fantastic team that I wholeheartedly recommend! Thank you both! 🙌✨
Margaux L★☆☆☆☆
I paid €74 for a French manicure that turned out to be a disaster from day one: visible irregularities, excessive thickness, and a sloppy finish.
In daylight, the flaws were glaring (photos attached).
I had to have the manicure removed immediately by another professional, who confirmed the poor quality of the work.
Despite my repeated requests for a refund, the nail technician is no longer responding and is ignoring my messages.
This lack of professionalism and attention to detail is unacceptable for a service at this price.
Pauline Hachet★★★★★
I recently tried a Kobido massage and the experience was simply incredible!
A truly blissful moment, a treatment that was both relaxing and revitalizing, and one I hope to repeat very soon!
Marine is very gentle and attentive. She immediately puts you at ease and gives excellent advice!
Thank you so much!
Darina Todorova★★★★★
I've been a client for a year now, and each beauty session is a real treat. Plus, the contours of my face are becoming increasingly defined. The massages are always varied and enjoyable, with noticeable results. A moment of well-being and relaxation that I highly recommend.
Chloé Leroy★★★★★
An absolutely perfect experience!
An institute where you feel at ease from the moment you arrive. I tried the 5 Worlds massages, lymphatic drainage, and facials, from Kobido to the facialist treatment—everything was exceptional.
Marine is incredibly gentle, very professional, and above all, attentive: she adapts each treatment to your individual needs.
The massage pressure is incredible, perfectly controlled, both relaxing and effective. You leave feeling relaxed, light, and revitalized. The facial is a true moment of well-being with immediately visible results.
A true haven of well-being that I wholeheartedly recommend. Finally, a place where everything is simply perfect ✨

I had a massage during a short stay in Nantes, and I highly recommend this very cozy and well-equipped spa!
The experience was very pleasant from beginning to end, from the selection of the massage and oil to the complimentary drink at the end of the treatment.
I am very grateful to my massage therapist who was able to relax me despite the tension in my back.
The appointment was at 11:45 am.
Nora BEGAUD★★★★★
An absolutely exceptional experience. I was lucky enough to enjoy a facial treatment combined with a head, neck, and arm massage… a truly wonderful moment of well-being.

I was treated to a facial at La Petite Nantaise. I received excellent advice tailored to my skin's needs. The treatment was very comprehensive, including a skin analysis, exfoliation, mask, and even a massage. The welcome was very warm, as was the ambiance of the spa. The heated massage table was a real bonus. I will definitely be back. Thank you so much!

Valérie is a great listener, discreet, and caring, but above all, she has a gift for massage: the facial was incredible! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I highly recommend that everyone treat themselves or someone else to some pampering time enhanced by her talent!

Un grand merci à Léa qui s'est occupée de moi pour un soin royal visage et cuir chevelu. ✨️
Elle m'a demandé mes besoins du moment pour personnaliser au mieux le soin.
J'ai beaucoup apprécié sa douceur et sa discrétion.
Ce serait avec grand plaisir de revenir tester d'autres soins. 🤗

I saw Valérie about two months ago, and I still want to thank her for that wonderful experience. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and very professional. At a time when I was having skin problems and feeling a bit down, she provided me not only with excellent skincare but also with real emotional support. You can go see her without hesitation 😊
Tips for Choosing the Right Salon or Spa in Nantes
Navigating the beauty landscape in Nantes requires a bit of local knowledge to ensure you get exactly what you are looking for. Whether you are prioritizing sustainable products or specific styling techniques, a little preparation goes a long way in guaranteeing satisfaction. Here are some expert tips to help you book with confidence and make the most of your appointment in the city.
Book in Advance for Peak Hours
Nantes is a busy city, and the top-rated stylists often have calendars filled for weeks, especially for Thursday and Friday evenings or Saturday slots. If you have a specific expert in mind or need an appointment outside of standard working hours, try to secure your booking at least one to two weeks in advance. This is particularly crucial during the holiday season in December or before major local events like the Voyage à Nantes.
Embrace the "French" Consultation
Unlike in some countries where you might simply point to a photo, French beauty professionals place a heavy emphasis on the consultation. Be prepared to discuss your hair texture, daily routine, and maintenance capabilities openly. This dialogue ensures the stylist or beautician can tailor the cut, color, or treatment to suit your lifestyle, not just the current trend.
Look for Eco-Labels
Nantes is one of France’s greenest cities, and this ethos extends to its beauty industry. If sustainability matters to you, look for salons that advertise organic brands like Aveda, Kérastase’s natural lines, or local French organic skincare. Many high-end spots in Nantes now offer vegan and cruelty-free color options, so don’t hesitate to ask about product sourcing when you call.
Understand the Pricing Structure
Prices in Nantes can vary significantly based on the neighborhood and the seniority of the stylist. Generally, salons in the historic center (Bouffay/Graslin) charge a premium for the location, while those in the surrounding districts like Talensac or Hauts-Pavés might offer better value for equal quality. Always ask if the price quoted includes blow-drying and product, as some high-end salons list these separately.
Check for "Sans Rendez-vous" Options
If you are spontaneous or need a quick fix like a bang trim or a manicure, look for "sans rendez-vous" (walk-in) spots. While the top-tier barbers and stylists require bookings, there are excellent nail bars and express beauty corners near the Commerce district that can accommodate walk-ins. This is perfect for tourists exploring the Passage Pommeraye who decide they need a touch-up.
Your time in Nantes should leave you feeling refreshed, and the right salon will do exactly that. By choosing a venue that aligns with your personal values and style goals, you ensure that your beauty appointment is a highlight of your week rather than a chore.
The city’s beauty professionals are renowned for their technical training and warm hospitality, making it a true destination for self-care. Whether you opt for a luxurious spa day or a quick, sharp haircut, these establishments represent the very best of what Nantes has to offer.
