Paradise Salon – Located on Fifth Avenue[1], it was the city’s most exclusive salon; its employees wore its trademark red. There were waterfalls among the flora in the reception area, which included cushy chairs; cups of real coffee, fizzling water, or champagne were offered; headphones and discs of fashion magazines were also complimentary.[2]
The carpet was a deep, red cushion and crystal drops spun light as they hung from the ceiling; the air smelled of flowers and pampered flesh.[3] Retail was up a level, a short ride on a silver glide.[4] Paradise kept its client data confidential and had a reputation for discretion.[5] (see also Denise, Sebastian, and Martin)
- During Dallas’s visit to question Sebastian in Naked in Death, she was offered some refreshment while she waited for him; she had narrowed her choice down to French Riviera or Caribbean Cream coffee before she was interrupted. When Sebastian learned of Sharon’s murder, he ordered a snifter of Trevalli brandy from the monitor.[6]
- Yvonne Metcalf also used the Paradise Salon in Glory in Death.[7]
- Both Jerry Fitzgerald and Pandora used Paradise in Immortal in Death[8], including four hours the day Lamont Ro was murdered, getting herself buffed and polished (Pandora).[9]
