WORDS OF WISDOM IN MONACO
WITH FRÉDÉRIQUE MONCEAU By Natalia Bezruk
Frédérique Monceau created her own principality of beauty inside the Principality of Monaco. At the moment the business lady owns the largest hair salon, a beachwear boutique, as well as launching the first brow bar and offering men a new unique beauty concept in Monaco. HelloMonaco asked Frédérique what happiness is, where men can get beauty services and why it is important to relax even away from your favourite job. HelloMonaco: Tell us about how the concept of a beauty salon was created? Why were you interested in the beauty industry? Frédérique Monceau: Everything happened step by step. 40 years ago, we started with the ready-to-wear boutique in the Monte-Carlo Beach hotel. 10 years after we opened our first hair salon with my partner. Furthermore, we completed a project, an opening, together and that’s how Monte-Carlo Bay was ‘born’. After, we both decided to move here and open the Cool Bay. My partner already had experience with contacts in the cosmetics world. We thought that this hotel would be a good idea for both of us to develop our image. And since that day, we’ve started to prosper. At the moment we have the biggest hair salon in the Principality.
