Paris suggestions on everything

Should be going there next weekend. I need a rather cheap place to stay but of high quality, willing to spend approx. 100€/150$ per night. Boutique hotels seem to be the best bet, anyone know more?

Since I am 18 yrs old and a rather poor student I dont have so much to splurge. However, I would like to do some high quality shopping, especially clothes, shoes and a new pair of sexy sunglasses. Shopping suggestions?

I also need to get a haircut as I'm starting to look like a poor man's Zac Efron. I've got Desfosse and Maitre Barber down, but the first one looked quite expensive if I understood. I need a high-class haircut though.. is Jacques Dessange any good ?

Also good pastisseries are welcome, as well as nightclubs. Hope to find some hot sexy Parisian chick if I'm lucky.

I've stayed here: http://www.hoteljardindecluny.com/Home/home.htm

IIRC it was about 100EUR a night, quite a bit less that what's quoted on their website. I think the website just has some very old high-season quotes. Find it on the BW website for the current room rates. Also, note that there is another BW one block over...incorporating "latin quarter" in the name in some fashion. I don't know anything about it other than it is there.

The location of Jardin de Cluny is quite good, a short walk from Île de la Cité.

I stayed at Welcome Hotel in St. Germain des Pres. The hotel is ok but the location is great. Very touristy but I liked it nonetheless. http://www.welcomehotel-paris.com/en...ome-paris.html La duree has fantastic macaroons and there is a location near by.

IF you do not speak good French, the good night clubs are difficult... especially for a single guy. I suggest you dress well and keep a very low profile (have cash ready, say as little as possible). Also it helps to get there early and/or buy a bottle if you have some friends and can afford it. Le Cab (cabaret) is my personal favorite club there... some of the restaurants that turn into clubs are also really good - like the stuff from George V group (Buddha bar, Bario Latino, Bound, Barfly). For some great/reasonably priced lunch food, Breizh Cafe near the bastille / plaza de vosges is really good (gallettes, crepes, etc.)
