JEANNE CASIMIR
Full reboot
Like a new beginning, Jeanne Casimir offers innovative facial massages, a way to access total disconnection. Meet a facialist who talks about her approach with a communicative passion.
Jeanne Casimir is a facialist. A reconversion she made just one year ago, after a dozen years working in the cosmetics industry. The entrepreneur has trained and developed a very personal approach to massage, which she carries out with conviction, in the service of a general well-being objective. Chardon Paris wanted to know more about her daily life and asked her to share her experience in her magnificent space at 38, rue des Blancs Manteaux in the 4th district of Paris.
Who are you?
I am Jeanne Casimir. I spent 10 years participating in the deployment of the Australian brand Aesop in Europe. I decided to train in facial massage techniques to better understand the work of beauticians, at a time when the brand was considering developing a "spa" offer in its stores. Very quickly, I said to myself, "Oh boy! I love that!". So I saw it as a sign and decided to go for it by training myself and developing my own approach. Above all, it is the impact on the brain, the complete "reboot" that interests me. The erased wrinkles, the rebounded and calmed face are rather joyful consequences of this work of disconnection and letting go that I carry out with my clients.
Inside Jeanne's bag
I started massages at home in February 2022 and opened on June 23rd a space that I thought would be a total experience, at 38, rue des Blancs Manteaux in the 4th.
What bag do you use on a daily basis?
I use and wear out my bags to the hilt. When I have a bag, it's probably because it was given to me by my mother, my sister or a friend. I rarely buy any. Right now, I have a Rive Droite bag, given to me by a friend when my daughter was born. It is "at the end of its life"...
When I'm on the road to visit my clients, I always take my home care kit with me, along with QMS Medicosmeticsproducts.
Otherwise, I always put 2 pockets in it: one with all my cards (credit card, transport, license...) and the other with all my papers (tickets, prescriptions...). I also put my house keys, my keys of 38 rue des Blancs Manteaux "dressed" with their Chardon Paris key ring; a La:Bruket lip care and a lipstick (yes I have a little "lip" toc); my tangled headphones, my phone and its charger, and then a scarf, a sweater, a diaper...
Today, I get a ball back, and a lollipop to boot!
What items do you always carry with you, your must-haves?
Always with me: my phone, my cb and a lip care.
How do you find your keys?
Jeanne's kit
Apart from the keys of 38 rue des Blancs Manteaux, I regularly "fan" my bag. My husband can testify to this. Very often, each time I need my keys, I put my bag down and I search it in all directions to find them. This also works with the transportation card at the turnstile in the subway!
What do you take with you on holiday?
The same bag and I add my sunglasses, and sunscreen.
I actually love NOT having a bag. Not having anything on my arms or shoulder is a liberation and when I can, I put the bare necessities in my pockets.
An anecdote (a (mis)adventure with a bag ...)?
Not really, except for the classic mishaps of a mom's life when you have small children and my bag becomes theirs. Sometimes I find crushed pieces of snack, or I may have taken out a diaper instead of a pouch!
Do Parisian women have a specific relationship with their bags?
I would say that there are 2 types of Parisian women. Those for whom the bag is an accessory in its own right, an extension of their outfit. They invest in their bag, it is part of their style. And then, those, of which I am part, who consider above all the functional aspect of the bag.
Any last words? (motto, mantra, drawing, photo, anything is possible! )
In my life as an entrepreneur, I often say to myself: "If there is no solution, it means there is no problem" in order to play it down, and to apprehend the hazards of daily life with more distance. I also often say to my children "As long as it's material and no one has been hurt, it's not serious", which they start to repeat!
Thank you Jeanne!
