Old fave salon adds super-spa

The word ‘new’ gives you goosebumps. New store. New bar. New car. Hey! Even new boyfriend makes you go wheee!

Here’s another reason: Peaches Salon & Spa. The address for the best haircuts in town has moved to a plush, two-storeyed house, very Buddha Bar-ish in emerald-white-gold tones sprinkled with sequins and sleepy smiles. The staff remains the same, the haircuts are still syoopah. But the all-new spa is divine.

Downstairs, the hair salon is set amidst gold seats and beams of sunlight. Upstairs, your feet are given an aroma-bath and slipped into soft-soft bedroom chappals, before you embark on your blissful spa sojourn.

The key aim of the spa menu is glowing skin. From Thai herbs, oriental oils and chocolate therapies, Peaches has the most luscious skin secrets on sale. To give Cleopatra a complex, try the rose petals and milk bath. Or maybe a camphor scrub. Or, yumm, a chocolate body wrap.

So say hello to good-hair days. And good-enough-to-eat-skin-days.
