Stephan Wagner
After years of trusting my hair in the hands of Wakko, I made an appointment with the nearest hairdresser a couple of weeks ago. Bad idea. I left the salon with a colour I didn’t like at all. To get things back to normal, a friend suggested her hairdresser, Stephan Wagner. Now, that was a [...]
Beauty by Kroonen & Brown
Beauty by Kroonen & Brown is a wonderful beauty shop, located a stone’s throw away from Grand Sablon. It’s run by Ioana Kroonen and Els Debruyn (hence the name), two lovely ladies with a shared passion for niche perfumes and natural make-up.
Herboristerie Moderne
This little boutique in the city centre is packed with things that are good for you: teas, natural soap, herbal essences, oils and much more.
Make Up For Ever
I don’t use a lot of make-up. My daily lotions and potions include an all-black mascara and some blush. That’s it. But dear me, finding a good mascara is not as easy as most tv commercials make it look like.
Senz
Senz is the name of a new natural cosmetics shop, that opened in the Bailli area in Ixelles. It sells hand made soap, essential oils, make-up and lots of lotions and potions to pamper your skin.
Ozfair
Saint-Gilles has quite a few organic shops, but one of my favourites is Ozfair. They have a large selection of organic and fairtrade food, a little restaurant and plenty of objects that would make great gifts.
Christa Reniers
I never wear much jewelry, for no particular reason. I do have one precious ring I could never do without, made by the Brussels-based designer Christa Reniers.
Senteurs d’Ailleurs
I’ve been a fan of this high-end beauty shop for a while now. They recently moved from one corner of Avenue Louise to another, and are located in a bigger shop. Bigger means more exclusive brands and more products to choose from!
La Feuille
For cosmetics made from 100 percent natural ingredients, visit La Feuille near the Brugmann Square.
Wakko
To say I have difficult hair, that would be an understatement. It took me years to find a hairdresser that understood my mane, but after my first visit to Wakko, I knew I never wanted to go anywhere else.
