Our nation's capital young professionals are looking for ways to release tension, which is inherent to living in what may be the world's most stressed-out city (e.g., terrorism, Anthrax scare, the Beltway sniper, partisan politics, etc.). Some professionals are turning to luxurious water treatments. Water treatments are detoxifying, hydrating, and relaxing (mind and body). The Vichy shower treatment is a pressure-point water massage that power-streams warm water over the entire body, focusing on the shoulders, back and legs. But there is only one place within the city limits to get a Vichy shower treatment...the Soul Day Spa and Salon in the Bloomingdale business district in NW Washington, DC. The Vichy shower treatment provides pressure point water massage jets over the entire body, focusing on the shoulders, back, and legs, to assist in the relaxation and stimulation of the mind and body. When a patron lies on a massage table, the Vichy shower's six rotating jets rain down a constant stream of warm water to provide spa customers with a relaxing and therapeutic water massage.
"The Vichy shower is a standard but luxurious water massage service in the spa industry, however, few other day spas in the District have this service until now." states Nicole M. Cober, former litigation attorney and owner of Soul Day Spa and Salon. "The Vichy shower is by far one of the most popular spa treatments, and I wanted to ensure that guests, who comprise of D.C. area urban professionals, no longer have to travel outside of the city to experience this wonderful indulgence."
Soul is like no other day spa because it acknowledges that professionals have limited time. Furthermore, Soul
- Will not place its clients on a waiting list
- Trains each team member through an in-house skill certification program to ensure consistent service, quality and technical skill
- Treats guests to exclusive art gallery receptions, a book signings, an in-house poetry readings and lectures on wellness periodically
- Promises to be more than a salon by working within the community through:
* Scholarship funds for Howard University students (Ms. Cober is an alumni of the law school) and
* A partnership with Rachel's Women's Shelter to provide services to its members.
