A NEW and innovative spa which aims to provide a space for people to get ready before a night out is opening up in Colchester’s city centre.
Spa of Rituals will open its doors to customers and spa enthusiasts in Crouch Street as owner Evie Davies is expanding her business.
With her successful beauty service and academy, Evie has gathered years of experience and introduced trailblazing trends, such as the Japanese head spa.
The new salon will offer a range of services, including popular head treatments and massages.
It will also offer a space for people to get ready for a night out on Fridays and Saturdays with lockers to store personal items.
Evie said: “I love unique business ideas, and I felt like there was a great space to socialise that was missing in Colchester, as there are not many.
“The new salon will offer a number of treatments and massages and a space for women to pamper themselves before a night out.
“There will be drinks available on Fridays and Saturdays, a make-up station and hairdresser, and we have lockers available, for those who want to get ready for going out.”
Evie's vision was ambitious but became a reality thanks to her partner Ross, who helped transform the new space into the spa of her dreams.
She said: "Words can’t express how grateful I am for Ross. He renovated this salon from the ground up to make my dream a reality, all while facing his own health challenges.
"His strength, love, and determination made this possible, and I’m beyond thankful to have him by my side every step of the way. He is a true superhero."
Packages for couples, mothers and daughters, and hen parties will also be available in the future.
Following the holistic approach and with a focus on well-being, Evie also hopes to introduce special mental health sessions and work with charities focusing on mental health in the area.
The new launch is an exciting new venture and had to be postponed, but with the finish line almost in sight, Evie is counting the hours until the new opening.
“I’m so excited,” she said, “ This is a really big step for me, almost like I’m franchising, you could say.”
Spa of Rituals will open on Saturday, November 9 with a special event, starting at 2pm.
