VL Paris offers a ‘beauty apartment’ concept in the heart of the city / photo® VL Paris
When Vanessa Landreau set up VL Paris, a Parisian ‘beauty apartment’ located in an exclusive part of the French capital, she installed a Iyashi Dôme sauna bed to complement her salon’s “integrated, preventive and regenerative beauty treatment concept.”
“The Japanese sauna sessions fit perfectly with the holistic health and beauty services provided at the ‘beauty apartment’,” Landreau explains. “These services include technological treatments, personal advice, dietary supplements and cosmetic treatments that are carefully combined to suit our client’s individual needs.
“We offer personal and results-driven treatments designed to break down the boundaries between health, wellbeing and beauty,” she says. “Each of the treatment components treat the body from an inside and an outside perspective and are carefully created to help energise, nourish and purify the body.”
Infrared benefits Within each 30-minute, full-body Iyashi Dôme sauna session, the gentle infrared light stimulates the client’s blood circulation and perspiration. On average a person can sweat up to 1,200ml in each session, which can prepare clients for, and improve the tangible benefits of, customised treatments.
Landreau says she chose Iyashi Dôme because she “wanted the best” for her clients and as the company has been a pioneer of infrared therapy in the health and beauty sector for almost 20 years, she felt confident in the partnership and that so far it has “proven to have a good return on investment”.
Business support “The Iyashi Dôme sessions have been very popular and have given our clients great results so far,” she explains. “We recommend that our clients have a course of 16 30-minute sessions over two months to lose an average weight of 3.6kg and that these should be combined with a balanced diet and exercise.
“It’s easy to use, and once a session is set up, salon staff are free to return to other areas of their work,” she says, adding that its contactless handsfree option has also been very beneficial during the COVID-19 restrictions.
Landreau is also pleased with the ongoing support offered within the partnership. “If I get good aftersales service from my technology provider then I can guarantee a good service to my customers too,” she concludes.
