Aldo Coppola, Abu Dhabi Kingdom of Beauty in Middle East

"Aldo Coppola" the luxury fashion Italian brand celebrated yesterday the new opening of its first Salon and Spa in the Middle East in Abu Dhabi. Aldo Coppola which has more than 200 salons in the world could not resist having an amazing Villa next to the InterContinental in Abu Dhabi to be its first location in the Middle east.

The gala event was attended by Monica Coppola (daughter of the great Aldo Coppola and top creative stylist and ambassador of the brand) and brand manager Federica Coppola who both flew from Milan for the occasion. Also in attendance were Amna & Mariam Al Mansoori, the Emirati owners of the salon. Key local and international journalists, as well as senior business leaders, and renowned local fashion influencers also caught a glimpse of the latest iconic brand to land in Abu Dhabi.

The gala event began with a welcome speech by Monica Coppola in which she said: “We are very excited to open our first salon in the Middle East in Abu Dhabi, the Emirate where beauty and luxury combine, to offer the best lifestyle and wellbeing experience in this region. Through our new Aldo Coppola Salon and Spa in Abu Dhabi, we want to offer something different to anything you have ever tried. We want to pamper visitors, making them feel beautiful on the outside and re-invigorated on the inside. We believe that all woman are beautiful, and all they need is someone to emphasize their beauty. That someone is Aldo Coppola, as we don’t only take care of ladies’ hair but all aspects of their physical and spiritual wellbeing, through offering a wide range of services and treatments”.

The options at Aldo Coppola are plenty. A visit to the Salon and Spa is a holistic experience.Enjoy the nail bar, have your hair and makeup done simultaneously in the make-up rooms, and experience the hair washing area which is equipped with a beautiful chromo-therapy lighting system (created by famous Italian light design company Catellani and Smith).

Aldo Coppola brings a touch of class, reminiscent of Italian high fashion to the middle east. One of the products of Aldo Coppola’s innovative philosophy, is SHATUSH. As oppose to the norm of using oxidant colors during highlighting, this technique makes use of henna and natural oilbased colors, to cover white hair. This is just one of many Aldo Coppola innovations, and was patented by the company in 2001.

Aldo Coppola Salon and Spa values its clientele’s privacy. It offers them an unmatched level of luxury. Nowhere is this more evident than in the VIP suite, a beautiful private space decorated with a mural mosaic of roses and accommodated with two hair stations, a Jacuzzi and a cocooning bed. The cocooning bed was invented by Aldo Coppola in 2010, and is truly a revolutionary tool when it comes to providing a relaxing experience. The bed has a hair washing station attached, making it possible to receive a head massage, hair treatment and a body massage at the same time.

Aldo Coppola Salon and Spa offers a wide range of hair therapy treatments, which make use of mud, herbs and organic ingredients, blending them into formulas tailored to the client’s needs.

Walking through this heavenly space, one feature that proves very eye catching is the Hammam room, equipped to provide Royal Turkish and Moroccan baths. Another eye catching feature is the Emotional Shower, which works with chromo-therapy to help rebalance the chakras. The Vichy Shower is also very special; it promotes muscle relaxation and pain relief.

Highly skilled therapists combine the services with a wide range of massage treatments such asbamboo stick massage, amber massage, golden wraps, hot shell massage to name a few.

Aldo Coppola Salon and Spa’s Abu Dhabi clientele are offered treatment with the Italian brand ‘Shani’, exclusively available at this location in the Middle East.
