Okay this was the best manicure I have yet to receive in Paris! The staff was incredibly polite and friendly. I had a semi permanent removal and manicure. The nail tech took her time and made sure my nails were perfect. You will pay slightly more here than some salons, but the atmosphere is very cute and peaceful and the salon is clean.
The tools were fresh and clean, coming out of a sealed package right in front of me! (Which I've noticed nail salons in Paris not being nearly as clean generally as they are in the US) The only downside was that I could tell the nail files and buffers were not new, but used on multiply clients. I'm not sure what the laws are in France, but this practice doesn't seem super clean.
Overall, a lovely experience! The best nail salon experience I've had so far here.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Ame V.Santa Rosa, United States53453230 Jun 2019
Such a relaxing, beautiful experience! The owner, Lauren, and her fabulous staff were so welcoming and accommodating. My husband, myself and our two girls came in and enjoyed pedis, my girls and I had manis and my husband even had a massage...all lovely! We also enjoyed tea and scrumptious brownies while we were there. We are American and they all speak varying levels of English, but we were very welcomed and we figured everything out. I will be back every time I am in Paris

We loved this spa! The staff are multi-lingual, kind, professional, and very good! We booked a massage the day we arrived in Paris from the US because we were really tired and sore from the flight. We got there early and enjoyed fragrant tea and pastries. The staff took us back right on time and we enjoyed a very relaxing massage! One employee (I cannot recall her name but she was originally from CT) helped me pick out a gift for my mom and was very sweet from start to end of our visit.

I got a gift package from my sister in law to come here for a mini massage and manicure. It's definitely a cute location. I didn't time they're very organized. In the US, if you have a schedule appointment, it should be smooth and seamless. I also booked my husband a 50 minutes massage too. They put us both into the same room, I didn't understand why, because his was 50 minutes long and my was shorter.
I got dressed and went out of the room hoping to start my manicure, so my husband doesn't have to wait too long for me to finished. I had to wait 30-40 minutes until someone takes me to start my manicure. Ending up my husband finished and I was still waiting for someone to do my manicure. Not cool, what a waste of time.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Ellie S.Paris, France921222 May 2018
I love Free Persephone! It's my favorite spot for a manicure in Paris. I'll make the metro trek (with a change!) before going to any of the places right around my apartment for this place.
It's cute, comfortable and quiet. The decor is adorable, and the tea is pretty tasty. Their pedicures are more thorough than other nail salons, and I swear the gel manicures have lasted more than three weeks without a chip! The women are also super nice.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Chanel M.Manhattan Beach, United States18914324 Jun 2016First to Review
Love this place! I came in to get a manicure and was greeted so warmly by the staff. They were over accommodating and really made my experience unique.
I have been living in Paris for 2 years now and as an American expat, I can say that this place felt like home.
After getting my nails done I sat there for a few hours and actually made friends with a customer next to me! We sat and had tea and just chat the day away.
I highly recommend this place.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Emily W.Pagosa Springs, United States01856 Jun 2017
Beautiful salon with great service! Lauren, the owner, was so kind and accommodating. She even recommended a few places to visit.
I got a semi-permanent (gel) manicure and the woman working on my nails did a great job :)Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Sarah A.Wailea, United States14028327 Jul 2016
I cannot praise this spa enough! I stepped into Free Persephone on a grey-ish Parisian afternoon and was immediately transported to a land of acoustic soft pop, wonderful smells, and fruit-infused water. It's basically a little springtime sanctum.
I came for a luxury pedicure and was greeted by the lovely team of ladies working there. I sat down and was given a glass of their house water, and then was led over to the multicolored plush armchairs. Next, I got to choose which oils, salts, and parfums went into my foot bath (rose and honey, please!) and the rest is a kind of a blur -- THAT'S how good it was. My pedicure included a foot scrub and leg massage, and while my nails were drying I got a scalp, neck, and shoulder massage.
I spoke with the owner, a delightful young American who speaks French perfectly, and she told me all about the spa's conception and her line of fragrances sold in the store. Can't wait to come back to this slice of floral heaven!! If you're seeking humble and unpretentious luxury, look no further.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dayna N.Eureka, United States0917 May 2018
Went into his salon about a year ago ( just got a yelp account to write this review) I had an appointment with them to get a gel fill and my current gel taken off. I had been backpacking through Europe so I wasn't in heels or anything crazy let me add. I came in and they immediately were disgusted with me I could tell. They told me that they didn't have time for the appointment I had made.. I told them that I really wanted it done and to try to fit me in which was non sense because I had an appointment. They take off my polish and tell me I'm done. I ask why they hadn't painted my nails and they said they didn't have time and went on to an appointment that came in a lot after me and then charged me 20 euros. For not doing the service they said and just taking off my polish.. absolutely disgusted with this place the worst people I've ever done business with hands down.

Very cozy and vintage interior design. The place make me feel like backing home after work. All people are sweet there, you feel welcomed. This place should definitely visit and they will cure all your tiredness from travelling. Here's a strong recommendation.
