French Kiss
This salon caters to locals and tourists alike out of a violet-infused space upstairs off shopping mecca Portal de l’Àngel.
The French-Catalan owners offer a range of salon services in designer settings and reasonable prices. What working girl wouldn’t be seduced by a facial for €40, manicure from €17 or 30-minute massage for €37? Popular services include manicure and pedicure (acrylic and gel), hair removal and massage. If you’re a local and plan on visiting frequently, sign up to be a French Kiss VIP for discounts on all treatments.
The space also offers make-up, tanning, chromotherapy, anti-aging, weight-loss and other treatments. There’s a spa upstairs too with a Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, hydromassage and body treatments. There’s also a bar in the upstairs spa, good for groups and special events.
The popular concept has expanded as a beauty chain now to include various centers around the city and beyond, including several in the Eixample neighborhood and one in the nearby town of Sant Cugat.
