Paris and its Rive Gauche, home and destination for artists by vocation or spirit. The Rive Gauche that smells of shops, of outdoor dining, bistrot in the sun, dusty libraries and art galleries that has that antique feeling.

Artists of the paint, of the clay, of the stove, of the soul and even of the hair took office in the magic Rive Gauche of the Seine.

And in this place that escapes the deceptions of the time chose her headquarters Lucia Iraci for her hairdressing salon, the most famous of all of Paris. At number 95 of Boulevard Saint-Germain will open the doors of the Salon de Beauté by Lucia, feminist icon and true influencer of her own destiny and of her life. With Sicilian origins, passionate and determined, Lucia left very young her Sicily at a time of a dream … Paris, her town’s heart, her “home”.

In the city of lights she decides to follow the footsteps of her sister Josephine, starting her career as an apprentice hairdresser, becoming very fast very talented. For 20 years she worked with the big names of the fashion world and the photographic industries, including Yves Saint Laurent, Bettina Rheims, Peter Linberg and Christian Dior. Lucia opened in 2000 her first hairdressing salon in Saint-Germain-des-Prés.

As Lucia Iraci said « A dimension in my life was always missing. During all these years, I took care of so many women’s hair and I realized that a woman who takes care of her feels immediately stronger ». Another important stage of her career took place in 2006, when she decided to stand in defense of the cause of women in difficulty, creating the association Josephine for the beauty of women to bring them a moment of relaxation and peace.

Her meeting with Maya Wendling will be decisive because she helped Lucia to realize her project and to open on 8th March 2011, the first social hairdresser salon Josephine at Goutte d’Or. The second social salon instead opened its doors on September 3rd 2012 in Tours. Today, six women a day enter these institutions to find their self-respect.

In recognition of her tenacity and of its various fights, Xavier Darcos, Minister of Employment gave her “the legion of honor” in 2009.

Being the Ambassador of Lucia Iraci for Paris fashion week was for me a great honor. Lucia, as well as being a talented hairdresser, has a spirit that goes beyond her capacity. She is an ambitious woman who believed in her dream, she took it out of the drawer and gave it the shape that best suited to her.

Surrounded by a competent and high-level staff, salon Lucia took care of my hair lighting them with a balayage, making them more glamorous with a climbed cut, relaxing with a massage during washing and with hairdo with an allure purely Parisian .

If you live in Paris or if you are in Paris for business or holidays be sure to go to meet Lucia in her wraparound salon in 95 Boulevard Saint-Germain +33 01 42 22 29 86 and ask her to tell you a bit of her dreams in which she firmly believed, making you instill the desire to not demoralize and to plunge you into an endless esteem for this delicate and gentle woman with her breezy redhead.

Grazie Lucia.
