The first word that comes to mind when you enter EMPORIO VALENTI is "Wow!" The spa is conveniently located in the city and one would think that space would be an issue, but no, EMPORIO VALENTI is huge.
The salon offers 360 degree grooming: there's the spacious hair salon with its crystal chandelier and soft white 3 meter high curtain-draped entrance offering everything from the normal wash&blow, through gents cuts and glamorous hair extensions for the barbies among us.
Moving through the salon you pass the nail bars, beautifully enclosed with monogrammed glass panels and comfortable italian chairs to relax in. But the salon does not only cater for fashionistas, even Indiana Jones would feel comfortable in the Men's Retreat Room which is designed with lounge chairs and a flat screen tv to keep the guy's minds occupied while the somatologists groom them.
The dedicated tanning rooms offer you a choice of having your tan sprayed on or you can have a quick 4min tan on the upright tancan which has specialized bulbs around the bottom to target those hard to tan areas.
The 8 therapy rooms (including a tandem room) are tranquil and all enjoy natural daylight. Before the commencement of your treatment, you are ushered into the enormous cloackrooms where you're handed a luxurious monogrammed robe and comfortable slippers.
The entire salon is tastefully decorated in crips white and silver with crystal chandeliers and sandblasted glass. Once you've had your massage, facial or choice of treatment, remember to book your wash&blow in the hairsalon. The days of exiting a salon with an Einstein hairdo are so over. EMPORIO VALENTI is most certainly the new "it" place to be.
EMPORIO VALENTI is situated on the 2nd floor of The Spearhead building, located on Hans Strydom Ave in Cape Town. For further information contact them on 0861 EMPORIO (367674) or go to http://www.emporiovalenti.co.za/
