Luxury Services with MyGlamm right at home!

Everyone loves to pamper themselves and there is nothing like a visit to the salon to make a woman feel good about herself. But with my hectic schedule and a toddler to run after, it was something that I used to give up a lot in the past, until I discovered MyGlamm. It was personally a rough week for me just before LFW and with no time for the salon, it was the perfect time for me to finally try MyGlamm after having heard so much about their home services.

Queen For A Day at the Taj Salon

"You don't need a Tiara to be a Princess, you were born a Queen." 

- Kawthar ALHasan

When an invite from the Taj Salon which started with these words was delivered to my doorstep, that too to be pampered like a Queen for a Day, I knew that there was no looking back and I had to say YES. Royalty and Taj go hand in hand - everyone knows that since forever! And when you have also had a crazy Saturday, such events on a Sunday make the pampering much called for.

The warm reception started the minute I set foot inside the Taj Salon at Taj Lands End, Bandra. Lovely smiles, a wonderful team and other bloggers were gonna be my partners in royalty for the next few hours while I relaxed and got treated like a Queen :)

The Taj salon 1st opened its doors in 1940 as one of the only 2 salons in the country and was run by Madame Jacques (a French national) for 42 years. In 1981, the Taj Group took over and renovated and re-launched under the brand ‘Taj Salon’. Some of their earliest employees who joined them back in the 1970s and used to work with Madame Jacques continue to work with them till today. Impressive!

I got a number of services done, so let me take you through my wonderful afternoon :)

Manicure & Pedicure

This was the first set of services I went for and I can't tell you how satisfied I was. The sea view from the mani-pedi station was so calming that I sat for there for nearly two hours with no hurry or worry about getting anything else done. Pure Luxury! If I had my way, I would have probably gotten all my services done sitting right there ;) (that actually became the joke of the afternoon). The therapist was incredibly good. The techniques he used, I haven't ever seen till date in any other salon and believe me or not, the polish lasted for 2 full weeks without chipping or touch up. So a totally recommended service from me. A regular manicure costs INR 900 while a pedicure costs INR 1000 which is the name of luxury is a total steal!

Hair Spa & Hair Cut

The hair stylist checked the texture of my hair and recommended the Moroccan Oil Hair Spa to deepen the colour in my hair and increase moisture and it sounded really luxurious so I was all for it. Mid way through the hair spa I also realised I was due for a hair cut and so that too got added to the list. The hair spa left my hair super silky and shiny and the hair cut added a bounce with some bangs. The result was a complete change in looks :) The Moroccan Oil Hair Spa costs INR 3,500 but is worth it coz the moisture locks into your hair for a good amount of time. Haircuts cost about INR 750 for men and INR 1,500 for women. Again I must say a steal deal!

Finally I was done, but my hospitable hosts would not give up on me and wouldn't let me stop ;) So I went ahead and got a quick shoulder massage done, some eye make-up and a cute pouf hairstyle for the retro themed look before the Tiara was placed on my head for the finale, which made me totally feel like a queen! Royalty I tell you - super easy to get used to ;-)

Did you just think it got over here? Hell no! :)

The evening continued to get better with some mocktails, hors d'ouvres and chit chat before we finally bade each other good bye but not before they surprised me with this cute gift basket of goodies.

I must say the Taj Salon embodies everything its name stands for – beauty, luxury, class and above all – service!

Ri(t)ch Styles 4th Blogversary Spa Party

Ri(t)ch Styles celebrated their 4th Blogversary at the newly launched Jean Claude Biguine Salon and Spa at Khar this weekend! How time flies! I still remember just starting my blog and here we stand today, 4 years from then, and way ahead :) So obviously the party had to be special, and that made us decide to keep a SPA PARTY. A morning of pampering along with some cake, champagne and tasty eats, marked the celebrations. The guests were well taken care of, while they got themselves pampered with a manicure, pedicure, hair wash & blow dry and scalp & shoulder massages. PS and me had loads of fun hosting it and a fabulous time with the lovely people who came to celebrate with us.

The pictures are going to take you through the super morning spent relaxing and enjoying! Don't envy us ;)
