We tried the Vitalising Spa for dry, damaged… Continue reading #ELLETriesIt : Wella Professionals Exoticare Spa service
Every time you go in for a hair ritual, the aim is getting shiny and soft locks. But the L’Oréal Professionnel Inner Spa takes a different route and treats your scalp instead.

I’ve been to many spas, but Rait at Suryagarh, Jaisalmer, is arguably my new go-to when I need to unwind and de-stress. They use a mix of traditional Indian and modern techniques, a theme evident in their décor, too. The therapy room with a steam section and Jacuzzi is welcoming and cosy. I tried their… Continue reading #ELLETriesIt : Rait Spa
I had been meaning to check out Sukho Thai, the Thai spa chain, for a while. Trying out their new treatment – which they claimed was specially created to ease CEO-level stress – was the perfect opportunity.

There’s the promise of the nail colour not chipping for weeks, which is about as true as the Titanic was unsinkable. It does chip. Only far, far less than its regular counterparts – mine went a week before it happened. But… Continue reading #ELLETriesIt : Nubar Gelicure at Lakmé Salon
