I was reminiscing about the good old days at Bliss London, which closed down some years after I moved on and I came across an article in stating that they were back in the UK, but that's only their products. Bliss was one of the better paying, more down to earth, but professional spas in at the time and it was the first international spa/brand I ever worked for. It was also a spa which intentionally looked for the very best specialists in their field(s), who honed their skills specifically in either body therapy, nail treatments or beauty therapy, thereby giving every client, the very best professional suited for their particular treatment(s).
Unfortunately these days, many spas don't value specialists and have become like an owner of a private hospital, who would employ a GP to carry out endocrinology, heart surgery, psychiatry, neurology, podiatry, ophthalmology and so on, whilst paying them very little. All you need do is to look at spa treatment menus, which many appear to have grown extensively over the years.
Before attending any spa, do some research online, read reviews (making sure to look out for names of professionals listed, so you can possibly request them), call the spa, firstly inquiring, as to which of their professionals do all of the treatments (taking down names) and which specialize in a certain field. Make sure that you are getting the very best person(s) for the job, as spa treatments are not cheap.
Well if you ever decide to open a new spa in London, let us know in advance. Missing you, the spa team & the products!
