So this weekend I took myself and a friend for a little R&R to the uber chic Chanel Bettison Hair and Beauty Concept Store in Cape Town. Since I’ve been packing the entire week in preparation for my move I definitely needed some time in a relaxation station to unwind and just kick back.

Untitled-2I received word that Chanel Bettison Hair and Beauty Concept Store was busy running a fabulous winter special where just R450 gets you a 45 min back/neck/shoulder massage WITH a hand or foot massage and a gelish mani or pedi. Of course I just had to make a booking! I’ve never visited this one-stop beauty salon before and heard many amazing things about them so I just couldn’t wait to get in there!

Why is it called a concept store and not a salon? Quite simply because they don’t offer just the ordinary beauty treatments such as massages, mani’s and facials. They go far beyond that to extend their services to include makeup for special occasions, botox, teeth whitening as well as hair treatments, washing and blow drying. It’s definitely the perfect place for the modern woman on the move – with the lifestyle that today’s women lead, it’s crucial to try and save time wherever you can.

Untitled-3They’re situated at 71 Shortmarket Street in the heart of Cape Town so naturally the store attracts many tourists during the year. The interior decoration and location adds to its somewhat international atmosphere. Incredibly beautiful paintings are hung up on just about every wall of the store so you also get that bright art gallery feel to it.

Untitled-5The back, neck and shoulder massage that I got was nothing short of amazing – I may or may not have dozed off a few times :) Since I can’t commit to having one color on my nails for a whole 2 weeks I let my friend come along so that she could claim my gelish mani and hand massage. She went with a gorgeous “Kardashian” gold shade and was very pleased with the results.

Untitled-6Chanel Bettison Hair and Beauty Concept Store offers a wide variety of beauty treatments and they use only the best beauty products. Linked down below is all their contact details so be sure to follow them to find out about all their exciting specials! By the way – they can also arrange for a mobile spa on request!

I highly recommend paying them a visit! :)

I recently had the opportunity to visit the Chanel Bettison Hair and Beauty Concept Store located in the heart of the Mother City (Cape Town). As part of their Winter Special promotion, I was treated to a neck, back and shoulder massage as well as a foot file and paint with Gelish.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and this was largely due to the friendly staff. I felt like I made friends once I left the intimate yet modern beauty salon. Most recently I also referred my best friend to have her nails done and she enjoyed her experience just as much.

The foot nail file and paint treatment was quick and very neatly done. If you're a woman on-the-go and need a quick pedicure, this would your best option. While getting my feet done I was treated to a warm cup of coffee while having a casual chat with salon owner Chanel Bettison.

After my pedicure I migrated upstairs where my neck, back and shoulder massage began. This was much-needed so you can imagine how pleased I was that this is also included in their Winter Special which you can still experience for only R450!

I would definitely recommend the Winter Special to all those looking for a much needed and affordable pamper session.
