Who are we ?

We also offer the brands Guinot, Baija, LPG, OPI, Thalgo, Perron Rigot, Green Spa, and recently Pier Augé.

Our products are aimed at people looking for leading brands in the so-called professional cosmetics sector and who wish to offer their skin high-quality care, in the spirit of beauty salon and spa treatments.

We are here to listen to you and advise you; it's the heart of our business.

> Our History

From our birth as a merchant…

Twenty years ago, we opened the Kallista Institute in Veigy-Foncenex, Haute-Savoie. We have always collaborated with the Sothys brand, a leader in the field of so-called "professional" cosmetics, and Guinot, Baija, and OPI quickly enriched our offering. We recently referenced a new brand: Thalgo.

Our beauty center covers an area of 200m² and is composed of 8 treatment rooms. Every day, we provide treatments and advice to our clients.

…to our e-commerce business

In 2011, we launched our first e-commerce site. Beyond offering Sothys products online, our goal is to provide a shopping experience that is as close as possible to the “beauty salon” spirit: pleasant, in a simple and cozy setting, where all the attention will be focused on you. In 2017, we opened our second site specializing in the sale of Guinot, Baija, OPI, and LPG products.

We recently made the decision to merge the two platforms. Currently, all of our brands are presented on this site, institut-kallista.com.
