LUDO Dine & Vibe 
3 Gluten-Free Pastry Shops in Milan 
In late autumn, the first fatigues of the season begin to make themselves felt, and what better solution than to treat oneself to a few hours all to oneself, amidst pampering and delicacies dedicated to the beauty and well-being of body and mind. Whether it is for a change of look, a regenerating treatment or a targeted workout, the Milanese capital is the perfect city in which to seek out those special boutiques, where you can let yourself be pampered in search of the perfect service – or course – for your needs.
Cut the chatter (and stress): Flawless has selected the wellness addresses in Milan to try in November. Barber shops, beauty centres and oases of relaxation where the Milanese frenzy is transformed into a distant memory, in the direction of an all-encompassing wellness experience.

Amore e Psiche is a sumptuous and magical hotel spa project, which includes all possible treatments for a dream break: sauna, Turkish bath, calidarium, emotional shower, ice fountains, treatments and relaxation room.

CARLO BAY HAIR DIFFUSION
Via S. Tomaso, 6
In a beautiful side street of Via Dante, right in the centre of Milan, is one of Italy’s most renowned hair style salons, Carlo Bay Hair Diffusion. Carlo Bay’s business began in 1985 in Florence and, over the years, the famous hairdresser has conquered the entire region, reaching as far as Liguria, Lombardy and Veneto, and even countries such as France, Switzerland, Lebanon, Kazakhstan, Syria and Russia, with a total of 21 salons in Italy and around the world. Today Carlo Bay is recognised as one of the most relevant figures on the international ha irstyle scene, evoking Italian style at an international level. Attention to detail is undoubtedly the key to his successful philosophy and his salon in Milan, sophisticated and with its soft, clean colours, where real professionals work with the aid of top quality products, is irrefutable proof of this.
BARBIERE DOLCE E GABBANA
Corso Venezia, 13
The ready-to-wear beard and hair care for today’s gentlemen can be found on Corso Venezia, number 13. Studied 1950s furnishings, an elegant atmosphere with inevitable bold and sumptuous notes but, above all, an attention to detail that is rarely found in other salons but which, after all, is not surprising when the barber shop in question bears the Dolce&Gabbana signature and logo. By now, and perhaps we should also finally add, the man who pays attention to his appearance, who likes to take care of himself, is no longer a strange entity to be looked at with suspicion. Many cities and companies in the world, Milan and the Italian fashion brand among them, are perfectly aware of this. A healthy awareness involvingmen’s aesthetics has led to the realisation that the ‘Barbiere’ sign is certainly something that tickles the fancy of the more modern and contemporary gentlemen whose demand for facial and hair treatments has been growing considerably for years.
SPAZIO IKOS
Via Luigi Pirandello, 4/A
The Spazio Ikos beauty centre now presents itself to its guests with a completely new, eco-sustainable look, with colours and materials that evoke nature, so that they can enjoy aneven more complete and effective experience for their psychophysical balance. The concept of a salon dedicated to beauty and health is evolving, transforming Spazio Ikos into an energy field where the client’s wellbeing always comes first, but from which those who are treating the client, i.e. the centre’s staff, can also benefit. The new look of Spazio Ikos reveals a boho chic style in harmony with the guidelines of Evolutionary Feng Shui®. The mauve walls convey an immediate feeling of calm and tranquillity, while each cabin is an expression of different scents and energies. The ideal services for this autumn?
