Officially, in just two days—on September 21st—summer will bid us farewell.

Without rushing the moment or forgetting this blessed season, we can already let our minds wander toward what’s next: autumn is at the gates of the royal city!
Of course, this isn’t our first rentrée. Brussels knows the rhythm of transition well, even if it sometimes comes too quickly—ushering us from golden days into the damp, shadowy chill of winter.
And yet, each rentrée carries its rituals: a visit to the hairdresser for a moment of total care, perhaps a trim to rebalance, a fresh cut to reinvent, or even a touch of color to refresh and reveal a new look.


But we all know—such a moment cannot be entrusted to just any hands, any stylist, or any products.
With over 900 salons, Brussels is certainly well above average when it comes to choice, but as with every experience, the one that matters most is yours.



Among the city’s best, there is one address that shines at the very top: a haven where comfort meets artistry, and where scissors are held like a painter’s brush—John Velasquez.
On Rue des Chapeliers (n°38!), that little street leading toward the Amigo, a classified façade opens onto a studio devoted entirely to 100% natural color.


A true gift for the hair, but also the start of a charming stroll through the heart of Brussels—and, I must confess, the perfect excuse to indulge in a pastry on a nearby terrace, watching to see if anyone notices those fresh, natural curls I’ve just added with John’s touch.



So here’s to your next visit—whether with John or your own favorite hair artist—may it be as uplifting, energizing, and joyful as this rentrée deserves to be.
Wishing you all a bright and positive season ahead!
