The HVN Chakra Balancing Ritual
The HVN Chakra Balancing Ritual at HVN Knightsbridge goes beyond your average body boosting beauty treatment, offering a transformative experience that nurtures both the body and mind. From the moment you enter, every detail has been carefully designed to create an environment of calm and connection. Inspired by the harmony of nature in Japan, HVN envelops you in a sanctuary where every element is intentionally crafted to transport you away from the bustle of everyday life.
The waiting area is a reflection to this, featuring elements inspired by the life of a tree, down to its wood ageing and bird song recorded directly in Japan. As the day progresses, the soundscape shifts from lively chirps to a quiet calm, mirroring the natural rhythm of the outdoors. This attention to detail, combined with features like bespoke scented zones and inviting consultation areas, makes HVN feel like a haven of wellness unlike any other.
The Chakra Balancing Ritual is an indulgent two-hour escape that combines the best of skincare, massage, and detoxification. I personalised the experience with the addition of a mini facial to address breakouts I had woke up to that morning. The treatment took place on a revolutionary Italian-designed heated waterbed – the only one of its kind in the UK – featuring built-in shower heads, mood lighting, and steam functionality. This meant I could fully relax without the usual interruptions of getting up to rinse off after the scrub and mask application.
The ritual began with my therapist, Sonia, helping me select my oil of choice, “Queen of Egypt,” known for its luxurious and calming properties. The treatment started with a full-body scrub applied with expert precision to soften and prepare the skin. The warmth of the waterbed, combined with the gentle exfoliation, created an unparalleled sense of relaxation – as if the weight of my never-ending list of tasks had already been lifted.
Next came the detoxifying seaweed mud mask, it was followed by the ingenious use of a zip-around curtain, which encapsulated the bed to retain steam and encourage the release of toxins. As the steam worked its magic, I drifted into a blissful state and only awoke when Sonia began the chakra shower experience to gently rinse away the scrub and mud mask. The process was seamless and comforting, leaving my skin feeling deeply cleansed and renewed.
The treatment didn’t end there. Sonia massaged my body with oil to seal in hydration, followed by the application of a natural seaweed face mask. This final step ensured my skin was not only detoxified but also glowing with health. The experience ended on another wow factor with the soothing sounds of Tibetan bowls, gently awakening me and restoring my inner energy.
Priced at £450, this treatment is undeniably a luxury, but it’s worth every penny for the level of relaxation, rejuvenation, and energy boost it provides. While you might leave with bed hair, the HVN’s thoughtful concierge team is happy to arrange a wash and blow-dry at a nearby partner salon if you book in advance.

Dr. David Jack Pigmentation Facial
The esteemed aesthetic doctor, Dr. David Jack, certainly knows a thing or two about skin, with a loyal following across clinics in London and Edinburgh. His meticulous approach extends beyond the treatments themselves, reflected in the design of his clinics, with a serious eye for interior design – creating that perfect blend of luxury and comfort at every location.
With an array of clients seeking his expertise after holidays marked by hyperpigmentation from sun exposure, Dr. Jack’s 60-minute Pigmentation Facial has seen a surge in demand. This transformative treatment tackles areas of pigmentation, aiming to improve skin tone and texture through a combination of microneedling and mesotherapy.
The facial begins with a deep cleanse, followed by a 2mm Dermaroller to create precise micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production while promoting melanocyte repair, effectively addressing pigmentation concerns at their source. While a numbing cream is available for added comfort, I opted to go without, as this wasn’t my first rodeo with needles.
Next, a bespoke mesotherapy cocktail is delivered via Nanosoft™ needles. This potent blend features standout ingredients like vitamin C and glutathione, renowned for combating pigment production, alongside hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate the skin. The result? A visibly brighter, more even complexion with refined texture and enhanced hydration.
Priced at £450 for 60 minutes, Dr. Jack’s Pigmentation Facial is a cutting-edge solution for anyone seeking a radiant, even skin tone.

Frizz No More: Adem’s Revolutionary Hair Botox Treatment
Adem’s salon has become a go-to for revolutionary hair care. Known for disrupting the industry, Adem brings over 16 years of experience and a unique vision inspired by his upbringing on a Turkish hazelnut farm. It’s this personal touch and passion that make his treatments unforgettable.
On my second visit, I opted for the no-needle, no-frizz Hair Botox Treatment – a deep-conditioning treatment designed to tame unruly hair. Adem’s salon is a sanctuary, with its lush greenery, calming ambiance, and welcoming team. It feels more like a spa than a typical salon, complete with excellent Turkish coffee and exceptional customer service.
Hair Botox is a protein-packed treatment that coats and reinforces each strand, leaving hair sleeker, softer, and often straighter. It’s ideal for anyone dealing with frizz, coarse hair, or curls they want to manage. What’s more, you can target specific areas, such as the hairline, instead of applying it all over – a bonus for addressing stubborn frizz around baby hairs.
The treatment began with a thorough wash, followed by a rough dry. Adem then sectioned my hair and applied the Botox solution, focusing on my hairline where frizz is most noticeable. After covering my hair with a plastic cap for ten minutes, he precisely worked through each section with a hairdryer to seal in the product. Unlike a Brazilian blow-dry, this process didn’t sting my eyes, though the air did get a little heavy with product, requiring the door to be opened.
The results? Impressive. The frizz is noticeably tamed, and my hair’s texture feels smoother, softer, and healthy looking. Adem’s Hair Botox offers a transformative solution for anyone seeking to take control of unruly frizz.

BBB London Longwear Brow Tint
You’ve heard us rave about BBB London before – their brow-transforming treatments and expert shaping techniques are unrivalled. Now, let us introduce you to the big brow trend of 2025: the Longwear Brow Tint.
If your brows need extra shape and definition, this innovative tint-stain hybrid is a standout choice. It expertly tints each brow hair while lightly staining the skin beneath, creating the fuller, more defined look we all dream of. With results lasting an impressive 5–6 weeks – far exceeding traditional tints, it’s the ultimate low-maintenance, semi-permanent solution. The skin stain lingers for up to 48 hours, so you might want to plan for a couple of working from home days post-treatment until the effect settles.
However, this isn’t the ideal option for oily skin types, as the dye tends to have less staying power on oilier complexions – a detail you might have noticed if you’ve tried brow tinting before, so it’s worth keeping in mind before booking.
With 12 central London locations, booking an appointment couldn’t be easier. At £45, this treatment combines durability with top-tier expertise, making it perfect for those who want bold, beautifully defined brows without the hassle of frequent touch-ups.
