Located at 10 boulevard Saint‑Germain in Paris’s 5th arrondissement, steps from Notre‑Dame and the lively Maubert‑Mutualité area, La Ritournelle is a refined beauty and nail salon. Open every day from 10 AM to 9 PM, it offers a wide selection of services: nails, pedicures, waxing for women and men, eyelash extensions or lifts, and relaxing massages.

From your first greeting, the team — including experienced therapists like Ming, Lilie or Lv — provides a warm and professional welcome. The salon features a tranquil setting with dim lighting, Asian‑modern décor and soft background music — a peaceful refuge from the bustling city.

Treatments include OPI semi‑permanent polish (from €25 for hands, €33 for full manicure), gel or resin nail extensions, baby‑boomer manicure, express or full pedicures. Eyelash services range from classic extensions to Russian volume or lifts, up to €75 for 3D volume sets. Facial and body massages complement the menu, using bio/aromatherapy brands like Florame and Innov Esthetique for waxing.

Clients include women and men of all ages, local residents and tourists seeking either a quick beauty fix or an indulgent retreat in central Paris. The salon is praised for its value: a full nail treatment around €35 offers more competitive pricing than salons in more upscale districts. While some older reviews raise concerns about pricing discrepancies or hygiene, these are mostly dated and not reflective of current standards.

An interesting anecdote: many clients return monthly for eyelash extensions by Ming, some for over three years, highlighting consistency and trust. Others praise fast yet meticulous service — ideal for busy Parisians or visitors needing efficient epilation or manicure treatments.

Practical info: Near Maubert‑Mutualité and Cluny‑La Sorbonne metro stations, access is very convenient. The space is compact — booking in advance via Treatwell or phone is advised. The salon is ground‑level with some spacious seating; wheelchair access is available. No on‑site parking, but public car parks and Vélib’ docking stations are nearby.
