Hello_33_Fashion_Monthly_-_March_2020

D

ay spas and nail bars have

long been in need of

a stylistic review; and the

next generation are non-

fuss havens resembling

inspirational living spaces

you might save on your Pinterest board.

Comfortable sofas, soft furnishings

and designer colourways to reflect

the pampering vibe are replacing the

antiseptic look of a clinical waiting room

you’d visit before undergoing a medical

procedure. Plus, with relaxation as the

key note, these graceful sparse spas are

uncluttered and homely rather than

having shelves filled with products.

Here is our pick of the best...

 HAECKELS

You’ll find Haeckels day spa above the

super-stylish seafront store of the same

name. Founder Dom Bridges was previously

an advertising director, who brought his

sense of detail to the well-thought out

decor, which includes wide floorboards,

sputnik lighting, abstract art and stylised

furniture. All products are completely

natural and sourced locally. Haeckels,

18 Cliff Terrace, Margate, haeckels.co.uk

 TOWNHOUSE

On walking into this nail bar, located

in a handsome Fitzrovia townhouse just

off Regent Street and a short walk from

Oxford Circus station, you’ll immediately

want to grab your phone to start taking

pictures – blush sofas, large succulents,

good lighting and muted tonal walls.

Once seated, you can choose from an

extensive list of nail services ranging from

a file and repaint to customised nail art.

The salon uses minimal exposure LED

lamps and non-toxic paints.
