THREE WAYS TO ZONE IN

-

Hair Meditation: Mindful haircut at Edward James Salon – ladies cut and blow-dry starting from £48 A new treatment at Edward James Salon means you can zone out at the sink and listen to a therapist take you from chaos to calm. “With the fast-paced society we live in, it’s easy to forget the meaning of what a hair appointmen­t should really be – a time to sit, relax, drawback and focus on ourselves,” says Edward James. Your in-salon meditation starts with a fiveminute winddown head and shoulder massage using calming essential oils to help you de-stress. A 10-minute nurturing meditation (that you listen to through headphones) by renowned hypnothera­pist, Marinda Gill of Harley Street, follows.

Blink brow, head, neck and shoulder massage, £30 This is a super affordable on-counter treat that I swear by. Although known for brows, the Blink therapists give transforma­tive massages that leave your upper body feeling as though you’ve been massaged for over an hour in just 15 minutes. It’s hassle free and perfect for those with fast-paced lives. There’s no need to undress and have a sticky oil residue. Using pressure points around your head, neck and shoulder, it instantly alleviates any stress you may have and is doable on your lunch break.

Facegym Facial from £50 Unlike some facials that are so relaxing you fall asleep, a Facegym massage (available in its Manchester and London studios) starts with a manual massage, followed by a technical electric current tool that firms and tightens your skin and increases blood flow and oxygen. This helps wake up your senses, so you emerge feeling revitalise­d, focused and energised.
