Beauty salon with 'cave' environment opens in York
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 06:19 · Archive
A beauty salon designed to feel like a cave has opened in York, combining skincare with holistic wellbeing.
The Cave, a new beauty salon combining skincare and holistic treatments, has opened at 113 Millfield Lane in York. It is owned by skin expert Olivia Heppell and holistic masseuse Lubna Lazrak, who aim to unite 'science and soul' in their approach to beauty treatments with a focus on wellbeing.
The two owners met around two months ago at a trading event despite both having worked in the beauty industry around York for several years without previously crossing paths. They discovered they knew each other's families and bonded over their shared vision. Olivia, who previously worked at Hannah Mae's in town, had been planning to open her own salon when she viewed the property. Rather than hiring Lubna to work there, the pair decided to become business partners.
They have renovated the salon themselves, planning the design around a raw stone bathroom sink to create a 'cave' like environment. Their aim is for customers to feel as though they have been 'transported to another world' outside the stresses of daily life. Lubna said of the renovation process: 'We've renovated it ourselves and despite all the stress, we haven't had a cross word. We just get on so well.'
