While Annie and her team offer all the standard hairstyling services for both women and men, each customer can add their own personal touch to create their own unique look.

Let's chat
So nice meeting you Annie,
Please, tell us a little about yourself...
Well, I started my career at the age of 16. Even as a little girl, I was passionate about hairdressing and dreamed of making it my profession.
I was fortunate enough to work with prestigious Parisian brands, which taught me a great deal. It was only later that I decided to set up my own business, which allowed me to run three superb salons in the Paris region with nearly 30 employees. Then the opportunity to take over Hervé Maxime in Uzès arose, and it was the perfect opportunity for a change of lifestyle.
Throughout my career, and still today, I have continued to train in new techniques, new products and new trends, and I am recognised as an ‘Expert Colourist’ by Wella Professional.
I must confess that after a busy 40-year career, my passion remains intact.
Hervé Maxime, a renowned address
After taking over this salon in 2022, I wanted to keep the name because of its solid reputation and its more than 40 years of existence in Uzès.
I work there with a team of professionals from different but complementary backgrounds. A versatile team with solid experience, acquired with major brands.
