Vanité Essensual
A swanky place in the heart of
Andheri, Mumbai, and top-notch
brands to talk about, Vanité Essensual
is one of the most happening salons to
debut in the city in the recent months.

 The Sebastian brand name had
suitably impressed me even
before I stepped into this new
salon, but what I witnessed inside
was truly extraordinary. A very warm
welcome from the Vanité ssensual team
awaited me. After a brief discussion with
the head stylist, Afzal, I was ushered into
a reclining chair for a hair wash. As he
washed my hair, Afzal explained to be
the goodness of the products he was
using. The Sebastian Hydre shampoo had
moisturising properties, which made it
perfect for the dry weather. He towel
dried my hair and started with a
conditioning treatment with Sebastian Hydre deep moisturising mask. After
applying it thoroughly on my strands, he
placed a steam machine over my head
and let the mask do its wonders. A quick rinse and blow-dry later, my hair was
looking truly party-worthy. Afzal applied
the Sebastian Taming Elixir, a
cream-based smoothing serum, before
blow drying and finished off the styling
with Sebastian Potion 9 Lite and Halo Mist, for that perfect shine.
 As my hair was getting a deluxe
treatment at Vanité Essensual, I was
engaged in an interesting conversation
with Abhilasha, Director of ve beauty &
wellness solutions private limited, the company that owns the salon. She
explained to me how she has stepped
from a management background into the
hair and beauty industry. She spoke
about her vision of providing world-class hair and skin services to the discerning
clients. To this effect, the idea of having a
salon spy Tehssee tnrucee
brand such as Sebastian enhanced
Abhilasha’s plans. Vanité Essensual also provides services of the System
Professional range and Abhilasha is very
happy with her ssociation with Wella
Professionals. “We intend to offer not
only the best in-salon experience but the
best post-service satisfaction, which can
come if the products are result-oriented
and the team well-trained,” she said.
In the skin section, the salon has
treatments from Dermalogica and I got a
glimpse of the services on offer by
getting my face mapped by their expert.
Feeling confident with my gorgeouslooking
tresses, I stepped out with one
thought — this salon with an unusual
name has unusual charms. And that
definitely calls for a second visit.
