bisou (bizu) - french
A kiss on the cheek or on the lips - used when talking to lovers and platonic friends. Bisous can say good-bye to a good friend (“a demain! bisous à toute la famille”) as well at the end of a letter: Bisous, Gros bisous, Bisous aux enfants, etc. When saying good-bye on the phone, friends sometimes repeat it several times: Bisous, bisous, bisous! Bisous, tchao, bisous!
The name bisou was chosen to express the spirit of friendliness and warmth you will experience when you enter the salon, and leave feeling like a part of their family.

“Never in a million years did I expect to still be able to have Pinterest worthy hair in my 50s. Taylor is exceptional at cutting in layers and has an eye for the color that works best with your features. She brings out the best in you! The shop is beautiful, very clean, and it’s in downtown Reading on a street that has plenty of places to grab a fabulous lunch or even right next door for a delicious latte or cap.”
