spa /massage centers in chennai

Ava · Nov 21st, 2007, 23:18

I'll be leaving India from Chennai soon and in the spirit of getting things done at Indian prices before I take off am hoping to visit a good spa before I leave...

Can anyone confirm that there is a Shahnaz spa in Chennai? I've searched the internet and I think there is one on Santhome High Road but am not entirely sure since the Shahnaz website doesn't have a list of their locations on the internet.

Alternatively, any good spas that you'd recommend?

Many thanks.
Ava

Oryza on Chamiers Road. I LOVE the patchouli body scrub! and the herbal soak with the rose petals in the water...to die for!

don't know about "Indian" prices tho -- all I know is that it's less expensive than what I would pay the equivalent for here...

Thanks Yogagal.

You're right - I mean the relatively lower prices in India. Had a facial at Shahnaz in Jaipur a few weeks ago and it was $7.50. I'd normally pay 50 - 100 dollars back home hence the keenness for further indulgence

you'll love the place! it's always a stop for me on my last day in India. yes, I'd say it's about 50% less than what I would pay for here, maybe more. it's pretty upscale.

Hey,
This must be the good news for Chennai people who use only shahnaz products for the beauty.

I found out that the excluive shahnaz franchise salon (one and only) now in chennai. Visited once, nice staff.

One last thing to worry about for herbal users

There is lots of herbal products available, and without having to visit expensive parlours.

Not that I know, or having anything against, this one. I have a lot against marketing spin.

Never was anything to worry about.

If, by the way, you are associated with this company, then it against forum rules to advertise it.

Thanks for your views. I saw AVA's enquiry about Shahnaz spa and your reply to that. Thats y i wanted to drop in this information might be useful for people who are travelling to chennai.

I've heard of VGP Golden Beach but do not know how it works there. I'm new to Chennai so trying to learn the ropes.

"Spa" really means a place where naturally healing waters bubble up from the earth. Much as I like Chennai, I really wouldn't expect anything that bubbled up from the earth to be healing! Best boil before even looking at it!

It seems to have taken on the meaning of somewhere where one can luxuriate under layers of mud, enjoy the effect of steam, be soothed or stimulated by massage, and generally spend lots of money being made to feel good --- suggest that you check out the five-star hotels! Enjoy

You might want to look into some of the Ayurvedic hospitals in town. A friend recommended one in Anna Nagar that I'll checking out this weekend. They tend to be much cheaper than the spas at the 5 stars.

Nick-H · Nov 5th, 2008, 16:41

They would be, yes, but their focus will be medical rather than cosmetic or relaxing.

Do let us know how you get on!

Yesterday I went to Oryza and limelite in Chennai on Chamiers Rd. (distance by walk 5min).

Oxygen Facial is at Oryza 1125 Rs.
@ limelite horribly 2900 Rs.

both 1 hour. Until this sunday limelite offers a free 1hr body massage in this package.

I went to oryza in chennai for a body massage. It starts from Rs1800. but they provide only men to men service women to women only.
