The sandal season is open ! It is therefore urgent to pamper your feet, which have been mistreated all winter. How to prepare, repair, and chic-ify them ? Here’s a list of essential treatments to get clean and green feet in your Birkenstocks !
Treat yourself with Rose !
How ? By booking an at-home massage with the foot fairy : Rose Deren.
The right treatment : A one-hour session of Sokushindo, a rather extraordinary ancient Japanese therapy that she mixes with reflexology basics. With brushwork and deep pampering, this gesture guru provides a treatment as intense as it is deep, with effects that spread and circulate throughout the body, from the tips of the toes to the top of the head. Absolutely addictive.
The extra touch ? This fashion photographer turned wellness guru is an aesthete and arrives with the perfect setup to transport you elsewhere : cushions, a heated blanket, enchanting massage oil, an energizing playlist, and a cheerful demeanor.
Rose Deren. €90 per hour at home in Paris, Boulogne, and Paris North. Booking at 06 12 46 06 66.
Indulge in a 5-Star treatment
How ? By making an appointment with the best podiatrist in Paris.
The right treatment : The exceptional skill of the sublime Stéphanie Lucas, who transforms any poorly shaped foot into a lovely one, directly from her charming and picturesque office in the 16th arrondissement. Ingrown nails, resistant corns, calloused skin: her keen eye scrutinizes every flaw and with a clip, file, and buffer, she gives you princess-worthy feet.
The extra touch ? Rare for a professional, Stéphanie combines medical pedicure and foot beauty. The cherry on top after this complete treatment : a flawless nail polish application and feet ready to slip into pretty sandals as you leave.
Stéphanie Lucas Podiatry Office. 35 avenue d’Eylau, Paris 16th. €90 for the complete treatment with nail polish application.
