 "Yuki
Sharoni drew on the wisdom of the East to fulfill the
vision of his spa. Indian-influenced prints adorn cushions
of pedicure stations and salon chairs - a contrast to
the unadorned wet room. Here, Sharoni replicated the subdued
ambiance of Eastern simplicity with ultramodern accoutrements
such as a custom-made Jacuzzi, $18,000, by Americh, and
Vichy shower, $3,000, by Hansgrohe Selecta, bringing the
total cost of this wet room to $30,000.
His
investment included neutral-toned Venetian Tile from Texton
Company, Los Angeles, furthering the theme of simplicity.
Fifty-five percent of the clientele enjoy the wetroom.
Four times a day, clients pad across the room expectantly
awaiting H2O Therapy or other wet treatments. The H20
Therapy includes a 30-minute soak in the jacuzzi with
head and neck massage enhanced by essential oils and algae.
The
soak is followed by an exfoliation treatment which helps
relieve the bodx of toxins, relaxes tight muscles, deeply
cleanses, and helps clients unwind. Spa treatments at
Yuki Sharoni are viewed as lifestyle enhancement with
reasonable prices, which encourages clients to come back
and relax as often as they like."

This salon whose clients include - Julia, J.Lo, Kim Delaney,
Illeana Douglas, and numerous others. The upstairs is devoted
to incredible facials, manicures, and world famous body treatments
such as this one, which Mikiko Kang learned to do in her native
Japan. After a soak in an eight-jet tub bubbling with seaweed
powder, it's up on a table for exfoliation. A rain of hot water
from an overhead Vichy shower keeps you toasty (chills being
the bane of most body scrubs). After Kang rinses you off, she
offers you lotion to moisturize skin that now glows like a pearl.
Asked if the salon sells the scrub, Kang answered, 'No, I make
it myself,' and told us how. What, no product push? Now that's
relaxing. Dreamy treatment rooms include couples rooms with
bathtubs in each room and designer finishes like a 5 star hotel
for a couple of hours of Peace -
