If you happen to be walking around London in these frankly sweaty temperatures, we know just the place to cool down and hit the refresh button on your body and hair. Hot new hair brand Iluxe Organics has opened up a pop-up salon in Knightsbridge, where experts are on hand to polish away the stresses of summer in the city.
For frazzled, sun-bleached hair, Iluxe Organics co-founder, Christophe Fostokjian is serving up a detox treatment and blowdry that deep cleanses polluted strands. There’s also the option of steaming the plant extracts and organic oils into your lengths, so they’re able to penetrate the hair shaft, and work their magic by smoothing the outer cuticle. Prices for Christophe’s Detox Treatment & Blowdry start at £150.
Those with aching limbs meanwhile would do well to book in for a massage (£70 for 30 minutes) with world-renowned massage therapist Isram Raggoo, who specialises in tailor-made treatments and draws on a combination of shiatsu, reflexology, relaxing movements and sports massage techniques to pummel tension and toxins out of your body.
And while you are there be sure to stock up on bikinis by Athena Procopiou if you’re beach-bound, too. Talk about a perfect inner-city afternoon escape, no?
The Iluxe Organics salon spa is open from now until July 25th. Visit at Iluxe Organics, 19 Beauchamp Place, London, SW3 1NQ. For more information, go to IluxeOrganics.com.
