THE LITTLE BLACK BOOK OF BEAUTY
Revealed: the treatments the super-loaded are lightening their wallets with...
David Peters custom rejuvenating facial £290
A fusion of contemporary skinperfecting techniques and Chinese medicine, including gua sha (where skin is scraped with a flat crystal massage tool to stimulate microcirculation). “I once treated an actress who introduced herself as the dead historical figure she was playing,” reveals David. “She stayed in character the whole time.”*
Josh Wood Atelier Private Studio £1,000 for 2 hrs
Sometimes you’re just too darned important to sit in public with your foils in. Top colourist Josh Wood (he highlights the likes of Saoirse Ronan) eases this A-list anxiety by offering a chic private room with Insta-friendly décor and a food menu. Add in a colour with Josh and a cut and blow-dry with a master stylist, and the bill’s around £2,280.
The Audrey Brow at Nails & Brows £50†
The brow shape of choice for Meghan Markle, who’s been visiting the Mayfair boutique for two years. “It’s quite straight and the tail ends go up slightly,” says founder Sherrille Riley. “This helps to lift the face and open the eyes.” The boutique also offers a £66 goldleaf manicure for those who like to wear their wealth on their digits.
ESPA Life Private Spa Suite, per couple £900 for 3 hrs
Located at London’s Corinthia hotel – your private pampering includes a Rasul Healing Mud Ritual, full use of the spa’s endless facilities (ice fountain, amphitheatre sauna, marble loungers…) and a two-hour treatment. According to our spa spy, a couple recently worked their way through all the treatments, racking up a £2,900 bill... each.
