Massage Your Ego

Crazy is totally in the air at the moment. There are skin-cracking arctic winds due any minute, and the high streets have gone completely sales-mental (20% off at M&S, three day Debenhams 25% spectacular open until midnight, and 20% VIP events at Selfridges next week). So it makes sense that massages and meditation are taking over from martinis and meds. If ever we needed a quick pick me up, it’s now.

Right next to UJHQ, Cucumba offer services by the minute; from under ten minute top-ups to twenty minute pitstops for stress busting massages and treatments. For a no frills drop in, Walk In Backrub have five outlets and offer shiatsu stress relief in 10, 20 and 30 minute slots alongside expert advice and a well stocked shop. The Rejuvenation Clinic is a City Boy favourite with 30 minute Partial Massage, Cupping, and Gua Sha sessions as well as early morning pre-work appointments for City Elite Club members.

And if all that fails, drop into the Meditation Room at Brahma Kumaris’ Inner Space in Covent Garden. Sit, breathe, and recoup for instant calm. And for free. Well, why add extra stress to the situation?

  • The Experientialist: Carter and Bond

    {mosimage}

    Women-folk love to wax lyrical about their hairdressers, colourists, stylists, et cetera. For us chaps, however, with just the one scissor-wielder to choose for the whole lot the decision can be tougher. So The Experientialist took a spin in Carter and Bond’s barbers’ chair to test out their skills. Could this be The One?

  • Coiff It Up

    {mosimage}

    There’s nothing worse than coming out of the hairdressers and having your nearest and dearest ask whether ‘that’ is on purpose. Then again, it’s not terribly encouraging when nobody notices your new triple-figure do. So we’re going speakeasy with a new crop of secretive salons with star quality. ?
