Welcome to Marie Claire’s Global Glow Guide, your one-stop-shop to the best beauty destinations around the world. Whether you need to find a bouncy blowout while traveling abroad or the best facial to rehab post-flight skin, we’ve got you covered.


Paris as a city is synonymous with beauty. There’s the Musée Rodin and its breathtaking outdoor sculpture garden, the sweeping city views from the hills of Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, and of course, the must- see sights on every first-time visitors list: the iconic Louvre Museum, the enchanting Jardin du Luxembourg, and the recently-restored Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris. But it’s not just the landmarks and architecture that define Paris’s beauty—it’s the people, too.

Frenchwomen are known for their perfectly imperfect aesthetic, as if they’re allergic to looking like they’ve tried too hard: fresh, luminous skin, a bold red lip, and impeccably tousled hair. Here’s the secret, though—I’ve spent enough time in Paris to know that it takes a lot of work to look like “you just woke up like this.” The oh-so-slightly undone blowouts? Achieved with the help of Paris’s best hairstylists. That glowing skin? The result of expert facials and carefully curated skincare routines.

As the beauty capital of the world, Paris is the ideal place for a beauty tour. But where to start? With so many studios, salons, and spas, it can be overwhelming to know what’s worth your time. That’s where we come in. Ahead, the best beauty treatments in Paris—from sculpting facials and soothing massages to niche beauty boutiques and more.
