Walking On Sunshine Cinderella Treatment

New kid on the block, we’ve been eyeing the Walking On Sunshine space at 163 Retail Park for a while now, wondering when it’d make its debut. To our excitement, it is now finally open for business, offering a range of hair services, with an attached cafe as well. Flowers and green foliage overwhelm the space—it’s as if we’re in the middle of a botanical garden. Their Cinderella treatment catches our eye in an instant—not your average keratin treatment, it tames unruly, frizzy hair, nourishes damaged tresses, improves shine and strengthens hair too.

Reopening on 1 October, Hammam Spa has always been a reliable relaxing oasis we can always return to. Offering a slice of magical Moroccan beauty remedies, be sure to allocate your time accordingly, because treatments here are incredibly indulgent, and the word express or quick has no place in their walls. For those looking for deep body rejuvenation, we recommend their four-hour Sultana Hammam. Be spoiled to a Hammam & Gommage, body masque, almond milk wash and hair mask, aromatic massage and finally a Maroc Maroc revitalising facial.

With a new branch recently opening at the buzzing Taman Tunku strip, we’ve got a date at Kenny Hill Bakers, followed by a manicure at Posh already set in our calendars. The new space is inviting and serene with wispy curtains providing privacy between chairs. We’re fans of their Signature manicure and pedicures, but their waxing and eyelash extension services are something we’re eager to try too!

Neal Yard Remedies Organic Lymphatic Facial

Neal Yard Remedies offer a wide range of organic therapies and treatments—their facials all powered by their illustrious collection of products. Having been cooped up at home for an extended period of time, we turn to them to drain and stimulate the natural lymphatic movement with their Organic Lymphatic Facial. Starting with a shoulder massage to release tension and trigger lymphatic points, you’re then treated to an 80-minute facial massage that harnesses the power of gua shas and essential oils to promote skin metabolism and to ultimately reveal a more radiant and vibrant complexion.

From their impressive gym to innovative spa treatments, we can’t think of a better place to revitalise, rejuvenate and renew. Infusing smart Chromotherapy treatments into their spa remedies, it makes each experience individually yours. On offer are a number of massages, scrubs and facials, but it’s their Hawaii Lomi Lomi massage that stands out. A massage technique that’s not as commonly found here, it combines ancient Hawaiian therapeutic techniques that replicate soothing waves to promote relaxation and enhance an overall sense of well-being.
