Amber Hair Salon
Full-service beauty concept store in Baie Nettle on the French side.
Why Go
Amber Hair Salon in Baie Nettle has evolved beyond a straightforward hair salon into what the owner calls a beauty concept store — a single space where hair, skin, nails, and grooming converge. The French-side location brings a European approach to beauty services, with techniques and products that reflect France's global leadership in the cosmetics and hair care industry.
The Experience
Years of establishment on the island have given Amber a loyal clientele and the confidence to expand into a larger space that accommodates its growing service menu. The hair side covers expert coloring, deep treatments, keratin straightening, hair botox, and specialized coloring techniques that go beyond basic highlights. The barbering section handles men's grooming with French-standard precision. Aesthetics services include facials, skincare treatments, and waxing, while the onglerie (nail service) covers manicures and pedicures. A boutique section stocks beauty products for clients who want to continue their routine at home. The Baie Nettle location on Route de Sandy Ground sits in a French-side area known for beaches and hotels, making it convenient for guests at Friendly Beach House and other nearby properties. Mezza Luna restaurant is close by for a post-salon lunch. The comprehensive service menu means you can book a full beauty day — hair, skin, nails — in one visit rather than hopping between specialists.
What to Try
Keratin straightening and hair botox treatments are the specialty services that clients travel across the island for. A combined hair-and-nails appointment maximizes your salon visit. The product boutique offers professional-grade items to maintain results at home.
Insider Tip
The French side's beauty standards run high, and Amber meets them. Book specialized treatments like keratin or deep color at least a few days in advance. Walk-in availability is better for basic cuts and nails.
