Dear Guest,

Since our website is still in Dutch, we would like to tell you something about Bibou in English.

Bibou started in Leiden 7 years ago as a small shop with natural cosmetics. The products were (and still are) free of parabenes, mineral oils and artificial colorings. They are handmade in small batches in our Dutch based laboratory and are not tested on animals.

The spa developed when customers kept asking about treatments using our products. First we only had one treatment room, which was frequently visited by expats! Maybe it had something to do with our American spa pedicure chair. We realized we needed a larger location and moved within the city centre. Bibou Leiden is still at this location with two single rooms and one double room. If you want to get your nails done, you can visit 'Biboutique' which was opened in November last year in the same alley as Bibou.

In June 2008 we fell in love with a charming old building in 'het Hofkwartier' in The Hague. This pretty location, near Noordeinde and between the Paleishotel and Parkhotel, is now the home of Bibou The Hague. Bibou The Hague has a nail salon, shop and three floors of treatment rooms (2 double rooms, one single room and double spa pedicure room). Bibou Leiden and Bibou The Hague have a bathroom with shower. You can use the shower to rinse off our bodywraps and also if, for instance, you come straight from work and want a quick shower just before a massage.

You can also visit our spa for a few hours with a couple of friends. In this case we can close Bibou to other customers and arrange a lunch; making your stay even more private. A nice idea too for a bachelorette or children’s party!

Because expats were practically the only customers we had when we first started, they always will have a special place in Bibou's heart. This is why we would like to give something back and therefore give you 10% discount on all our treatments!

Please send us an email (to info@bibou.nl) with your name and address and we'll put you on our special expat list in Leiden and The Hague. You can also arrange this in Bibou itself of course.

If you have got any questions please feel free to contact us. We would love to see you soon in one of our spas. Until then, we hope you enjoy your stay in Holland.

P.S."For anyone who has just arrived in Holland and is looking to build a new social life and take part in varied and exciting activities with other expats and local people, then please visit www.legalaliens.eu to find out more about the Legal Aliens expats group".
