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.
