My idea of a good salon is not just being in the care of experienced talents in the industry, but also being in a place where I can fully immerse in relaxation.
Think of it this way: Usually, you would spend a minimum of an hour to many hours getting the treatment you seek. From a simple blowout to full-on hair treatment — a mani-pedi, to boot — well, you would need a few hours for that.
So, a serene place within a chaotic environment can offer a temporary reprieve, yes, but those protein-enriched tresses just might frizz up anew when you get out to the “real world.”
This is why a recently discovered salon-spa in Proscenium, Rockwell is making me grin like someone with a nice little secret.
First of all, Proscenium Tower is a real surprise already, its mix of office spaces and shops all enjoying space with green touches. Okay, yes, so I got a little lost, and this may have added to the thrill of finding Relaxant Spa x Go Salon — a sanctuary, indeed!
Owned by Kristine Vargas, who tells me she is a doctor of medicine who decided to get into the wellness business instead, Relaxant is cozily situated in a corner spot, well away from the madding crowd. The glass walls reveal a garden-green theme, where earth tones and plans dominate. The nail area looks like a great space for those girl gatherings, or maybe even a family weekend bonding. What is even nicer about the place is it offers spa services, so that when you say whole families can practically get their pampering sessions together, you can really mean it.
“We created a space where busy individuals can truly escape and recharge without leaving the city,” Vargas said. “Escape, recharge, return — that’s the full experience we offer. Relaxant Spa x Go Salon is a hidden haven of calm and luxury in the heart of the city.”
So what can you have other than a blow-dry? Hair treatments galore, cuts or trims, masks, perms, color. Nail services include nail art, among others. For the spa, you can have waxing and massages, or even hot stone therapy.
If you wish to get away from the pace and stresses of the metro, seek a sanctuary of beauty and relaxation in Relaxant.
