Brussels Beauty Guide

Belgians attach a lot of importance to beauty, as do expats, and there are many options when it comes to hairdressers and “beauty farms” around the city. Generally, chains are a little more reasonably priced than private shops but they often do not offer the same extra benefits and personalized service. You can get monthly subscriptions from some beauty parlors that give reduced prices on treatments and priority booking.

Top Tips

01 Learn French or Dutch, especially if you are coming long-term. If you have children this is even more important and will assist them to integrate.
02 Learn the Belgian rules of the road as they are a little different to other places and can be complicated.
03 Join expat groups by all means but remember that Belgians do exist too, and many expats make the mistake of never getting to know them properly.
04 Make the most of summer. Winters are wet, cold and gloomy and involve largely indoor activities.
05 Bring as many personal documents as possible (birth, driving, examination certificates), they will help in many different bureaucratic situations.
