Frederique Marsan easily rules a little empire in Monaco: a design buro, and a chain of boutiques and salons in the most desirable spots and high-end salons all over Monaco. L'Officiel talked to Frederique about two business directions: beauty salons and beachwear boutiques.

How do you select collections for your boutique? Do you choose more vivid models or more discreet?&nbsp;

Selection is based on three main principles: our client&#39;s taste, the current trends, and discovery of new brands, new designers. We try to mix classic and trendy, vivid and discreet to please our diverse clientele.

What brands do you work with?&nbsp;

International recognized brands such as Missoni, Eres, Versace, or Melissa Odabash. It is also essential for us to highlight the work of local designers around: the Muzungu Sisters, La M&ocirc;me de Monaco. Having an international range of clients, we have started working with Russian, Greek, and Polish brands.

Designers from which countries do you prefer?&nbsp;

Our preferences are not really based on the countries; they can change from one collection to another. Each country has its own savoir-faire. We love Italian brands for their excellent taste and quality. Russian market brings a trendy and glamour dimension.

Who are your celebrity customers?&nbsp;

Famous customers go from Monaco Royal Family members to international influencers, like Victoria Bonya, Anna Andres or Paris Hilton; international athletic Igor Dimitrov, international singers that come performing at the Sporting, Seal was one of them; TV star and businesswoman Kris Jenner; former international models such as Naomi Campbell or Adriana Karembeu. The list is very long, as we are really working in parallel, with important and glamorous events hosted in the Principality.

Your salon Cool Bay is unique because of masters who represent the personal care culture from different countries: Slavic, Asian and European. How do you manage to maintain such an international service industry?&nbsp;

Diversity is a key characteristic of our various establishments because of the clientele and our team members. It&#39;s not always easy to take into account each one&#39;s cultural habits, but we consider it an enrichment at the end of the day.

What brands do you work with at the salon?&nbsp;

We work only with the best quality products: Rahua, Label, Emmebi, Olaplex, and many others. Quality is the key. We pay a lot of attention to the components used as much as the expected results.

Tell us about your best masters?&nbsp;

The team is one of the best in Monaco, and each master has his field in which he excels. Generally speaking, their skills are homogeneous, to be able to please our demanding customers from all over the world.

Did the quarantine situation affect your beauty salon business? In which format do you work now?

Indeed, this situation has affected us, as many people in the beauty industries worldwide. Faced with this health crisis, we have chosen to remain positive and professional, but above all, to provide security to all our visitors by strictly applying the Monegasque government&#39;s recommendations. Access to the beauty salon is limited to ensure distances are respected; wearing the mask is mandatory, plexiglass protective walls have been installed. Naturally, we always receive our clients at the salon, but we have also significantly developed the offer of home services.

&quot;Cool Bay is the only salon where I do my hair dying, styling, and manicure. I visited all other salons, but sorry to say there no one listens to your wishes. &nbsp;Thank God, Cool Bay exists, and after every visit, I am pleased and satisfied because all my wants and ideas are fulfilled.&quot;

&quot;Cool Bay is one of the &quot;it spots&quot; at summer in Monaco. If you enter one of the best hotels in Monaco - Monte Carlo Bay - you can easily find it. Cool Bay - is the destination for all the celebrities during all the major events in Monaco. Cool Bay offers one of the best services in Monaco: starting from a simple blow-dry and ending with an exquisite make-up, top quality manicure, and all you can dream of!&quot;
