I have an insatiable curiosity to have the inside info; to discover the best places to eat, get beautified, party….I must know and I must share. Also, living in different countries and not knowing where to go get a haircut(without ending up with a mullet) can be very frustrating! So here is my list of all the “Best of” that I have uncovered so far in the beautification department:
1) Haircut and color-Ashley Emmanuel Henn at Toni&Guy(Magna Plaza). Ashley is an artiste and gorgeous. So passionate about what he does, and you will feel like a beauty queen after you leave his chair. His stories are equally hilarious, as he is talented. http://www.toniandguy.nl/salons/3/amsterdam/magna-plaza
2)Manicure and pedicure-City Street Spa. Open from 10-8 every day(woohoo) and has the service level that I am accustomed to receiving in the US. Thanks, H, For sharing this! http://www.thecitystreetspa.com
3) Eyebrows/Threading/Lashes/Fashion-Natasja Logchies is the EYEBROW QUEEN! Her threading technique will give you the best shape for your face. She also helps with…uh…other areas đŸ™‚ She is based in Laren at Beauty Culture. http://www.manojawimpers.nl
4) Dentist– Dr. Taj! Gerard can give you a brilliant smile with his amazing aesthetics. He fixed my teeth which were completely destroyed from “grinding”. Yes, I grind my teeth at night, especially in periods of stress. He is also a lovely guy with a great personality. http://www.drtaj.eu
5) Beauty products– Although I do order lots of stuff online, I absolutely love SKINS. They have great,niche brands like Phillip B., Aesop and my fave candles-Diptyque! Also they have an amazing selection of artisan(Anna Maria-this is your fave word!) perfumes, because after all, who wants to smell like the next girl? Go over there to get a very special scent that will become your trademark! http://www.skins.nl
6) Facial-Rachel Lamme is the best aesthetician I have ever had! Thanks, Peggy Nab and Zoe Cox for introducing me. She is based in Amersfoort, but trust me, it is worth the trip. Latest skin rejuvenation techniques(no bullshit frou frou stuff) from the most caring, sweet, beautiful facialist. You will look 5 years younger after you visit her….and your skin will be radiant and feel like silk! She also does body sculpting, like endermologie, but I know none of us have cellulite. đŸ™‚ I also buy ALL of my skin care products from Rachel. Amazing, cosmecutical(phramaceutical+cosmetic) brands that deliver big results at a fraction of the price of the big label brands. http://www.skinprovement.nl
I promise that my reco’s truly are the best I have discovered so far, but that the people behind them are also truly remarkable. It is soooo important to me that I feel a connection with these folks and that I leave their “beautification” chambers feeling their positive energy!
Do you have anything to add? Would love to hear it!! After all, sharing is caring:)
Lots of love,
Mimi
