A Cut Above the Rest

Sailor was in town recently and ofcourse I had to rush to a salon to get myself fixed, as always. This time I picked Neu Salonz after seeing a lot of buzz about them on facebook. They have a salon in Gurgaon but they recently opened in GK 1, M Block market in Delhi which is closer to my place so I booked myself an appointment and walked through the door at 11 in the morning. I always pick early hours because I hate to miss my gym in the evening. So I figured it would take 2-3 hours max and I would head back. But no! I added one service after another and walked out of the door after spending close to 5 hours! No surprises that I skipped my gym class and let myself get pampered by the professionals there. I immediately fell in love with the new age decor of the salon. The theme was black and white which I personally love at spas and salons. Everything looked chic and modern with mirrors at every step. It felt like a backstage green room!

My first concern was my dull skin so I straight away went for a consultation with the skin specialist there. I told my major concern is my sensitive skin so I cannot just pick any facial from the book, it has to be well thought out. So she recommended me an organic facial and promised it won’t irritate my sensitive skin. The products in the organic facial are from a brand called Comfort Zone. Which actually is quite true. The moment the facial started I was in a comfort zone ready to doze off any moment. The facial went quite well without any itching or irritation. My skin not just felt but actually looked visibly clear and bright. I’ve added a picture below of myself without any makeup after the facial. Have a look and tell me you don’t see it yourself. Oh btw I opted for the VIP room which is bigger than the normal rooms and had a classy white decor with mirrors everywhere. They do have ordinary rooms and I checked all of them myself and they are decent enough if you are not looking to spend so much. Apart from facials, they also have body massages which is quite new for a salon. I normally don’t get to see body treatments at hair salons.

After that I headed for my favourite session. The manicure pedicure time! I was snapchatting the whole thing but for the mani pedi session I just relaxed and let the guys do their job without me or my phone interfering. I opted for a nude nail art with a blingy touch. Sailor loves simple and classy stuff so it had to be it. They carry Faces and Colorbar nail paints too but I opted for the deluxe nail art which includes OPI.

After that I went for a hair spa because I was facing major hair fall issues, as always during autumn. I opted for a Kerastase hair ritual which the hair stylist said would help me with my hair fall. He was damn right! What surprised me the most was that their senior hair stylist who was handling me was an economics graduate! Can you believe it? After completing his studies he took up his passion, hair styling, and went on to learn from the hair experts. Normally when I sit for hair spas and hair cuts I brace myself for the “which products you use?” and “you should try this and that instead” but this guy instead told me whatever I was doing for my hair was working and added some tips to take it up a notch. Well then I knew I was talking to an expert. I was so pleased with the work that I went for a light trim as well. I don’t usually go for hair cuts from just anybody but this guy was trained from the french guys dammit! So Chetan is your guy if you are planning to pay Neu Salonz a visit. I asked him to give me some thick chunky curls after the blow dry which came out so beautifully.

I also loved the whole setting of the hair section. The arrangement was done in a Z pattern so you get full privacy along with a gazillion reflections of yourself from every angle. Totally loved spending time there and would recommend you try Neu Salonz the next time you are scouting some decent hair and beauty salons in Delhi.
