Paris Beauty Survival Kit: Best of Beauty

BEST ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT: ELAINE HUNTZINGER
Sometimes a massage just doesn’t cut it. As an ex-New Yorker I am used to carrying A LOT of tension in my back and neck and A LOT is an understatement. Sometimes you just need something stronger and by stronger, I mean cupping. Unlike NY there aren’t many of places to get this done and to get it done to my standards, for that matter. My go to for those times I need that special care is Elaine Huntzinger. She has an atelier close to the Marais and offers a variety of services which I have tried and highly recommend (including an infrared facial with this mouth/gum massage I can’t name, whatever it is called. It is a MUST!!!).
I will tell you the entire experience is a complete 60-90 minutes of zen because her personality puts you at ease and the actual treatment relaxes you. She also uses crystals during her treatment so you are literally transported somewhere else. If you are looking to try her out, make sure to make an appointment way in advance as she was just featured on Eva Chen’s IG during PFW, so everyone is flocking! Proof that Paris’ Best Secrets don’t remain secret for long!
Pro-Tip: Book Now as a New Year’s Treat to yourself—she’s booked for the rest of 2019, so make 2020 grand! Where: 12 rue de Crussol, Paris 75011
