AMSTERDAM

RED CARPET QUEEN, Haarlemmerstraat 140

This salon is situated in the famous Haarlemmerstraat in Amsterdam. The First thing you get is a free skin analysis, and based on the outcome they continue with a tailor-made plan for your face. Over here they are specialised in improving your skin with the best natural products by EmerginC & Esse. They offer several facials and our favourite is the DEEPqueen of 60 minutes which costs €99 and is a favourite by many. During the DEEPqueen treatment you can expect an intensive connective tissue massage with active, skin-improving ingredients for a lifting effect. Yes please.

OJAI, Eerste Boomdwarsstraat 10H

This beauty in Amsterdam salon offers holistic treatments, and is one of a kind. They recently opened in 2021 and is run by owner Alisa and her facialists. Skin treatments vary from detox, to PRX Bio Revitalization, light therapy or Enzyme Hydropeel. You can also book cupping treatments, massages and anti-aging treatments. We all know, facials and beauty treatments need to be added to your skin routine, in order to see long lasting results. Ojai also offers memberships, where you can come in every week for a month and improve your skin. We really love this beauty salon in Amsterdam, and came out with plumy, hydrated skin!

STUDIO GARDEN, Binnen Bantammerstraat 20

This beauty salon is located right in the busy tourist district of Amsterdam but once inside, a calm feeling will welcome you. This salon really does focus on your skin. Tailor made facials or special treatments that reduce oily skin or remove the redness. Owner Sara Rietman exclusively works with EmerginC. This is one of the few organic brands on the market that is allowed to carry the cosmeceutical certificate; and thus has a pharmaceutical effect. Moreover, these products are never tested on animals, are wrapped in recycled cardboard and printed with non-toxic ink. Big plus!

SKINS INSTITUTE at HOTEL L’EUROPE

5 star treatments in a 5 star hotel sounds good from the start doesn’t it? At Skins Institute they will take care of your face, body, hands & feet, plus they also have an amazing spa here, read more about the best spa’s in Amsterdam.

NATURE SKINS, Rozengracht 72H

Hence the name, Nature Skins only works with natural ingredients that are vegan and free of parabens. A nice side-effect is that it’s also better for the planet like these sustainable salons in London. We are no skin experts, but we can imagine what some harsh ingredients can do to your skin overtime. So what do they offer? Peelings, facials, pedicure and manicures, boost treatments and more.

BEAUTY BEWUST, Oostzaanstraat 128

This salon in Amsterdam West has a treatment for all new mums out there which we love. The Phoenix in Transition treatment is focussed on hormonal skin that needs a little different attention. While pregnant or after your pregnancy, your skin can look very different than it used to be. This is totally normal, but this treatment will help you fight pigmentation, inflammation and unwanted redness. Be aware that taking care of your skin takes time, just like working out. With the right vitamin C product by EmerginC, this will be a great way of getting your perfect skin back. Besides this one, Beauty Bewust also offers relaxation treatments, deep tissue massages and anti ageing treatments.
