Mandira Bedi at The Saturday Club Beauty Parlour

At a time when the city is experiencing a salon spurt, Saturday Club is all set to offer its members and their guests an all-new beauty destination. The Saturday Club Beauty Parlour, run by Julie Sen, is soon going to shift out of its 400 sq ft room and into a larger, more swank 1,000 sq ft address, adjacent to the swimming pool.

?This new salon promises to provide quality services at very affordable rates exclusively to Saturday Club members and their guests,? says a spokesperson for the club.

The highlight of the ?new, improved state-of-the-art salon? is an exclusive men?s section. ?Earlier, men were allowed only on Sundays, and that too between 10 am and 6 pm. But now we will give them a separate massage section attended by male masseurs, shower facilities and shampoo stations,? adds the spokesperson.

The ladies too have a lot of value-addition to look forward to. Apart from regular services like hair styling, cutting, colouring, spas, skin treatments, waxing and threading, there will now be a fancy mehndi corner, a novel nail bar, tattoo and massage facilities.

The interiors of this beauty parlour will help create the ?perfect ambience? and mood. ?Relaxation is going to be the keyword,? smiles another spokesperson. Proof: individual enclosures for facials, other skin treatments and beauty services.

?I think upgrading the parlour with an all-new look is a great idea. They already have a great team that is extremely competent and well trained. Basically, ladies love pampering themselves in a good-looking and relaxing environment, hence I am looking forward to the new salon,? smiles Renu Roy, convenor of the club?s entertainment committee and a regular at the Saturday Club Beauty Parlour.

Modern beauty equipment, latest colours and trends and trained beauty therapists are going to characterise the salon. The current strength of 15 staff members at the parlour is also expected to ?double?.

?In fact, the best thing about the club beauty parlour is the friendly staff, always willing to go out of their way to help us. It is the little things that matter and for them, a service is never just a service. This is definitely one of the biggest reasons that we club members keep going back, instead of shifting to other happening addresses,? reveals another salon regular.

The big question now is, when? The salon, Saturday Club officials say, will open its doors by the ?end of May or the first week of June?. The timings will be from 10 am to 6:30 pm, though some ?flexible timings for me? cannot be ruled out, in true personal care style.
