AN URBAN Sanctuary

Florian Hurel Hair Couture and Spa, Mumbai, offers a haven to those seeking tranquility in this urbanscape. Priyanka Parshurami brings a special report.

“In a city where everyone is caught up in the hustle and bustle of their hectic lives, a spa emerges as the sole sanctuary where one can unwind and immerse themselves in serenity,” says celebrity hairdresser Florian Hurel. Following this maxim, the Florian Hurel Couture and Spa offers a diverse array of wellness services under one roof to provide a comprehensive holistic wellness experience.

Hurel elaborates, “I believe that the idea of a complete wellness centre is incomplete without the presence of a spa. Therefore, we have introduced a dedicated spa segment and curated a wide range of offerings to complement and enhance the overall salon experience.”

Exemplifying the Brand Essence

At ‘Florian Hurel Hair Couture and Spa,’ you will be welcomed by a team of exceptionally skilled and professional individuals for hair, nails, skin and body. The goal of every team member is to excel in providing the best quality of service through their determination and dedication towards the job.

In the Indian spa industry, there is an inadvertent focus on beauty services, wherein body treatments are sidelined. Florian Hurel Hair Couture and Spa witnesses a departure from this concept.

The spa is an architectural marvel, which is thoughtfully designed based on the inspiration of the Japanese concept of ‘Wabi Sabi’ – a celebration of imperfection. Curated by ‘Rii,’ Florian Hurel’s wife, all the elements and artefacts are placed in perfection whilst encouraging you to embrace your imperfections as you step in.

The wellness programmes offered at this spa include body therapies, Hammam, cold baths, body scrubs and wraps, couple therapies, steam and much more. Beyond the therapeutic treatments, the spa extends its offerings to detox and specialty teas by ‘TGL’, which comprises over 25 distinguished types of teas offered to every client after their therapy.

Additionally, plans are underway to introduce curated meal plans, further enhancing the holistic wellness experience at Florian Hurel Hair Couture and Spa.

Hurel shares, “My preferred service at the Spa is ‘Sports Therapy.’ Given my passion for fitness, this particular therapy not only aids in recovering from soreness but also delivers a complete rejuvenation experience.”

Moving Forward

“My vision and goal have always revolved around empowering the team, professionals and the brands that we are closely associated with. Brands like Kevin Murphy, in particular, bring a youthful, energetic and fresh vibe, aligning seamlessly with our ethos. With its diverse product categories, Kevin Murphy not only offers hairstylists a range of choices but also aids clients in understanding and selecting the right products,” explains Hurel.

His strategy involves leveraging such brand collaborations to promote the spa, ensuring the use of top-notch products and delivering services of the highest quality. This, he believes, will be a compelling factor for consumers. Looking ahead, Florian Hurel Hair Couture and Spa is all set to venture into a new location, adding another chapter of success to its journey. PBHJ
