Gazelli skincare to launch London flagship day spa
Azerbaijani skincare company Gazelli has plans to launch a three-treatment room spa location in London in Q3 this year. This ‘Gazelli House’ project represents one of many luxury skincare-branded spa openings this year, including the upcoming House of Elemis; the recently launched Caudalie day spa in the US; and the Parisian Charme d’Orient spa boutique.
The Gazelli House London is a three-storey townhouse facility and will feature three treatment-rooms on the ground floor – fitted with treatment beds by Gharieni – for clients to learn from skin specialists based on the teachings of Dr Zarifa Hamzayeva, co-founder of Gazelli. The other co-founder of the business is Jamila Askarova, Hamzayeva’s first daughter.
On the second floor of the house will be a ‘living room’ for events, which will involve a choice of educational seminars, interactive workshops, lectures and film screenings.
This level of the house will also welcome a variety of artists to exhibit their works. The incorporation of art into this spa’s social hub is related to Hamzayeva’s second daughter’s curation of contemporary art. Mila Askarova, the second daughter, runs a commercial art organisation called Gazelli Art House with branches in both London’s Mayfair and Baku in Azerbaijan.
The top floor, dubbed ‘sky parlour’, will offer tailored consultations with resident and visiting experts and will feature sessions on topics including colour therapy, sound healing, yoga, hypnotherapy, nutrition and ayurveda.
Gazelli has a number of spa partners around the world, including the two London locations Josh Wood Atelier in Holland Park and Urban Retreat at Harrods. There is also a 2,500sq m (26,910sq ft) flagship Gazelli spa in Baku and the Raffles Istanbul, which launched in September 2014, has taken on the skincare brand in its spa.
