SPA According to the Webster’s dictionary, a spa is a ‘mineral spring or a locality in which such spring exist.’ Commercially, it means, “Salus per aqua’ or healing through water.” A spa is a place where mineral-rich spring water (and sometimes seawater) is used to give medicinal baths. Spa towns or spa resorts (including hot springs resorts) typically offer various health treatments, which are also known as balneotherapy. The belief in the curative powers of mineral waters goes back to prehistoric times. Such practices have been popular worldwide, but are especially widespread in Europe and Japan. Despite their popularity, spa services are not known by everyone. Created by the Romans, spas originated in 400 BC during the Hippocratic era. The original use of spas was to heal Roman legionnaires by putting hot water on wounds from the battle.

A spa must have a clean, safe, calming and nurturing environment. It should have private treatment rooms, shower and changing rooms, professional massages, professional body treatments, therapeutic spa ingredients, hydrotherapy or steam or sauna. Spa are important part of culture because they have an impact on consumer health, appearance and stress levels. Besides that, they are associated with consumer’s social lives, spirituality, travel and work. Spa treatments have become more popular because of rising incomes, which allow families to afford more luxurious services. European bath house and saunas, Japanese onsens, Turkish style hammams, Indian Ayurveda centers, and Thai massage establishments are not traditional western spas, yet some of these have started and will continue to show up in the spa market as they adapt to modern consumers’ needs.

ORIGIN OF THE TERM

HISTORY

The term “SPA” is derived from the name of Belgian town of Spa - a veritable ‘water city’ whose name is known back from Roman times for its healing cold springs since the 14th century. It is commonly claimed, in a commercial context, that the word is an acronym of various Latin phrases, such as “salus per aquam” or “sanitas per aquam”, meaning “health through water”.

Spa therapies have existed since the classical times when taking bath with water was considered as a popular means to treat illnesses. The practice of traveling to hot or cold springs in hopes of a cure of some ailment dates back to prehistoric times.

2.10

Fig. 2.10 - The spa town of Hisarya in Bulgaria.

Many people around the world believed that bathing in a particular spring, well, or river resulted in physical and spiritual purification. Forms of ritual purification existed among the Americans, Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. Today, ritual purification through water can be found in the religious ceremonies of Jews, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, and Hindus. These ceremonies reflect the ancient belief in the healing and purifying properties of water. Most often these ancient people did little building construction around the water which was temporary in nature.

Spas became fashionable in England during the 18th and 19th centuries when the upper classes were finally convinced of the benefits of bodily cleanliness, but by the turn of the 20th century they’d dwindled in popularity again, with seaside resorts.

BATHING IN GREEK & ROMAN TIMES Some of the earliest descriptions of western bathing practices came from Greece. The Greeks began bathing regimens that formed the foundation for modern spa procedures. 2.11

Fig. 2.11 - Roman Baths of Alange, Spain

These Aegean people utilized small bathtubs, wash basins, and foot baths for personal cleanliness. They established public baths and showers within their gymnasium complexes for relaxation and personal hygiene. Greek mythology specified that certain natural springs or tidal pools were blessed by the gods to cure disease. Around these sacred pools, Greeks established bathing facilities for those desiring healing. Supplicants left offerings to the gods for healing at these sites and bathed themselves in hopes of a cure. 2.12

Fig. 2.12 - Public bath for relaxation and hygiene

BATHING IN MEDIEVAL TIMES -

2.13

A general belief developed among the European people was that frequent bathing promoted disease and sickness. Medieval church authorities encouraged this belief and made every effort to close down public baths. People continued to seek out a few select hot and cold springs, believed to be holy wells, to cure various ailments. In an age of religious fervor, the benefits of the water were attributed to God or one of the saints. Around these springs, a famous health resort eventually grew and the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;spaâ&#x20AC;? came to refer to any health resort located near natural springs. After the American Revolution, the spa industry continued to gain popularity. The first truly popular spa was Saratoga Springs, which, by 1815, had two large, four-story, Greek revival hotels.

BEAUTY HISTORY

During the “roaring 20’s” the beauty industry took off in leaps and bounds. In New York, Elizabeth Arden opened her signature salon and began offering “make overs” to her clients. On the west coast, Max Factor created the first foundation for film stars, and Greta Garbo ushered in the era of sophisticated eyebrows and the need for eyebrow pencils and mascara was born.

HISTORY OF SALON Prior to the 20th century, beauty was something that most women took care of on their own. Only wealthy women had servants to take care of their hair. Toward the end of the 19th century, beauty emerged as one of the few skilled occupations that provided women with the opportunity to become entrepreneurs. Martha Matilda Harper was a prominent early example of the entrepreneurial female beautician. One of her employers, a physician, taught her about hair health. She eventually opened a salon, the Harper Method Shop, in 1888. She invented the first reclining shampoo chair and was the first to develop the idea of clients visiting a hair salon. Prior to the Harper Method Shop, beauticians made house calls.

Harper, who used photos of her own floor-length hair as her primary advertising method, was one of the forerunners of the modern franchise system. She opened a network of hair salons, each of which was owned and operated by a franchisee who was trained in the Harper Method. In their heyday, there were more than 500 Harper salons in operation. Harper pioneered the concept of the salon as we know it now.

Often a facial or scalp massage is performed whilst the client is wrapped up. 2.34

A PRODUCTIVE LAYOUT

KEY POINTS TO KEEP IN MIND WHILE DESIGNING A SPALON

Simply organizing the salon & spa into zones will make the client journey more fluid and the working environment more amenable for the people. Spreading the service areas out, each differentiated by varied lighting and different flooring. The zoning in a spalon is done in following sequence -

•

A Productive Layout

•

Carefully Choosing Furniture

•

Variations on Lighting & Color

Zone One: Front of House. 2.38 Z4

Almost every client journey will begin in the front of house, where they will be greeted by a friendly welcome, a cool seating area and shelves heavy with tempting beauty products.

Zone Two: Cutting and Coloring. Z3

Fig. 2.38 - An example of a productive salon layout

The next zone, and one the client moves into seamlessly from the reception, is the cutting and color area. This is the heart of a salon, buzzing with activity.

Zone Three: Shampoo. Beyond the cutting zone should sit the shampoo area, often the favorite service for many hair clients. Comfort is key here, and the space should be as separate from the bustle of the cutting zone as possible. Softer lighting, more muted colors and calmer music, all help create a more cosseted feel here. Shampoo area includes manicure & pedicure area also.

Zone Four: Rooms.

The

Treatment

The mood between treatment zone and hair salon should be dramatically different but, if possible, the journey should be marked by gradual rather than sudden change. And It must be obstacle-free. The treatment room all the types of make-up rooms, Facial treatment rooms, nail art area, spa treatment rooms etc.

AVERAGE SALON SIZES The average size of a hair salon is approx. 1’500 square foot (140 square meters) with Nail salon on an average of 1’300 sq. ft (120 m²). The size needed depends on how many stylists are working in the salon. A salon needs about 175 sq. ft (16 m²) per stylist.

Salon Room Size Guidance Below are some reference points on space needed per room in a salon. This is just some recommendations and ultimately, we have to decide how much space we’ll need for each part to be comfortable.

Minimum Space Requirement AREA

SIZE

Styling Station 35 ft² (5×7)’ (3.2 m²) Shampoo Area

36 ft² (4×9)’ (3.3 m²)

Manicure

16 ft² (4×4)’ (1.9 m²)

Pedicure

32 ft² (4×8)’ (3.0 m²)

Spa Room

100 ft² (10²)’ (10 m²)

Retail Area

100 ft² (10 m²)

Beyond the retail area & treatment rooms, one should also consider space for an office, laundry room, changing room for staff, storage, restroom, along with staff room.

Distance seating -

between

the

client

• The right distance between salon chair should be at least 40 inches between salon chairs to avoid that clients sit on each other. • And the distance between the shampoo chairs is at least 32 inches left to right for each shampoo station & approx. 36 inch behind the station for the stylist. • Beyond the treatment areas there should also be space so that staff and clients can move around in the salon.

INTERIOR & TECHNICAL CRITERIA LIGHTING

TYPES OF LIGHTNING:

There are two types of lights present in our environment –

AMBIENT — the primary source of lighting in a salon, usually created with dimmers and recessed ceiling lights.

Natural Light & Artificial Light. Lighting and illumination are the deliberate use of light to achieve a practical & aesthetic effect. The use of both natural and artificial lights is necessary. Lighting includes the use of artificial light sources like lamp and light fixtures, as well as natural illumination by capturing daylight using windows, skylights etc. Proper lighting can enhance task performance, improve the appearance of an area, or have positive psychological effects on occupants. Indoor lighting is usually accomplished using light fixtures, and is a key part of interior design.

2.46

2.44

Fig. 2.44 - Example of an ambient light

Fig.2.46 - Accent light used in product display

TASK — additional sources of lighting that will help at work, like a lamp on the reception desk or a floor lamp at the color station, or magnifying lamps cosmetologists use.

VANITY — gives an even source of lighting around mirrors and reduces shadows, which helps hair and makeup artists work on a client.

2.45(a)

Fig. 2.45 - Example of task lights

ACCENT — used to attract attention to something in a salon, like a product display or professional certificates.

The importance of lighting in a beauty salon -

Light in salon has a great impact on the following –

Lighting design can truly affect the mood of the clients, it effects their first impression of salon. Proper lighting is key to creating a warm, welcoming environment. Lighting in a beauty salon has a very practical use, more than in any other room or building. It helps the employees to work. Thus, it directly influences the quality of work, also, it’s bad for vision. There’s also a psychological factor: the lack of natural light at the reception desk, for example, makes it harder to focus on tasks. Salon lightning also creates the mood and the atmosphere in the salon.

• Staff health and work comfort. • Salon interior design, look, atmosphere, ambiance and mood. • Clients’ comfort and well-being. • Retail shelves presentation. (Makes products pop.) Essentially, lighting fixtures in a salon will serve two purposes. One is to provide light, and the other is to look good and fit in with the salon decor. So, It’s not just the amount of light that’s important, but also the quality and color temperature of the sources and how everything balances.

Recommendations towards lightning design indicators The common recommendations for lighting designs are as follows COLOR RENDERING INDEX ( CRI ) — the capacity of a light source to reflect the colors should be 86 or above. OPTIMUM COLOR TEMPERATURE — 4000-6000 K (or Kelvin), which is close to “daylight white” or “natural white”. ILLUMINATION LEVEL — varies from 300 to 700 lux, depending on the lighting source and section in or type of a salon.

The importance of lighting in a spa You can create an oasis of relaxation in your spa with proper light design. Well planned lighting can contribute a lot towards a relaxing and enjoyable spa experience. There are many theories and products that promote different ways how lighting and colors can influence our health and well-being. Lighting has an invaluable part to play in creating an important atmosphere in a spa. In Chinese yin-yang philosophy all things in the universe are perfectly balanced by their opposite component, so it is with lighting. Shadow cannot exist without light, and contrasting areas of light & dark create ambiance. 2.51

2.52

Fig. 2.52 - Ambient and task light used in spa.

2.53(a)

Recommendations towards lighting design in a spa Glare is a big problem while most lighting installations. Spas have a lot of shiny surfaces that cause specular reflection: water, mirrors, and tiles in interior design. All of these will multiply the visual discomfort caused by unshielded luminaries or direct sunlight shining into our eyes, radically reducing the comfort of the client. Some solutions can be as per • Direct sunlight should be blocked with window shades or overhangs.

Fig. 2.53 - Dim Ambient lights used in spa to give the relaxed feel

2.52(b)

• All artificial lighting should be directed either through appropriate diffusers, or reflected off special surfaces that will diffuse the light. • Specifying the cool white luminaries for brighter areas such as poolside; and specifying warm white light for dimly lit spaces such as massage parlors and meditation chambers.

COLOR In general, the salon must be a warm, comfortable, place where the client is tempted to rest because, as we know, the more he will be, the higher the chances of buying. The environment therefore has to adapt to the type of clientele and make it feel comfortable. COLOR PSYCHOLOGY Each color has a different effect on our brain and on emotional changes, resulting in study of “color psychology”. Following are the colors and their relative effectsWHITE : One of the main color of light. Associated with purity, cleanliness, security, peace, innocence, brightness. Here we experience a sense of peace. BLUE : A cool color that inspires confidence and safety.

YELLOW : The color of the sun, communicates positivity and optimism. Stimulates creativity and energy. GREEN : It denotes serenity & freshness. Depending on the many nuances it can take on different meanings: the darker & deep ones are for prestige & wealth, while the lighter ones induce calm and relaxation. RED : It is the color of energy, provocative, great to capture the attention. It can trigger passion, but it can also be a danger. ORANGE : Exuberance, fun and vitality often associated with enthusiasm. Lighter shades, goes well with the sphere of health & beauty. BLACK : It is the color of luxury. Denotes sophistication, which is why it is often the distinctive color of expensive products.

BROWN : The color of the earth, transmits feelings of stability and durability, it’s shades are more clear, close to ocher and brick, which are positively associated with something luxurious.

HOW TO CHOOSE COLORS Chromatic appearance is a crucial aspect in relevance to color and light • The size of the room is the first thing to be considered while deciding the color of the different areas in a salon and spa. • Hot and dark colors are advisable in the background wall of a narrow and long environment spaces like corridors. • Flooring is the first surface to look at when a person steps across the threshold of a space, to be kept in mind • The matching color wall / furniture is another key aspect to consider in choosing colors for a spalon.

DESIGNING – “We are in the process of revitalizing the Gene Juarez brand, and my edict to the team was to create a space that was meaningful to all age groups and accessible by any clients who prioritize beauty and wellness,” says President Scott Missad. Susie Burrows created that appeal through a design she calls New YorkLoft-meets-the-Pacific-Northwest. “With the numerous windows and the concrete floors, it has the rawness of a loft, but with refined elements and warmth brought through furnishings, paint, and tile,” she says. “As a result, it’s a warm, very clean space that is casual but approachable.”

• The reception area is outfitted in rich furnishings in blues, greens and yellows that are reminiscent of a boutique, high-end hotel with muted wall coloring that help soften the industrial feel. • The retail area adjoining the reception has simple, white laminate shelving so the products are in the spotlight. Lots of sign-age encourage guests to sample the products. 3.48(a)

OBSERVATIONS –

3.55

• Throughout the salon, each area is designed to deliver an experience within the salon in order to transport the guest on a visual and sensory journey. • The place offers a welcoming, cool and contemporary ambiance. • The reception area is outfitted in rich furnishings in blues, greens and yellows that are reminiscent of a boutique, high-end hotel with muted wall coloring that help soften the industrial feel, which gives the feeling of a balanced atmosphere. • The men’s salon has a separate entrance and a lobby which welcomes gents with a masculine emerald green tile, beer on tap, thick leather couches, big barber chairs and sinks at each of the 10 stations, which enables the barbers to easily perform full shaves. • The styling station has focus track light to highlight the area and all it helps the clients as well as the staff for proper hair treatment. While the other stations have ambient light with the focus lights to soften the feel. • In order to highlight the styling area ceiling is kept exposed whereas, the ceiling of rest of the areas are kept simple to balance out the space and give soft and cozy feeling. • All the areas are designed in a unique way while keeping in mind the purpose it serves.

INFERENCES • Even though both the projects are designed completely different, with a different context and style but they both serve their very basic functions in a very comfortable manner to their customers.

3.56

• Keeping in mind the structure or the architecture of both, it is evident that they well suit surroundings and go well with the existing characters of the place. Both compliment the location or the cities they are built in. •

Coordinated architectural treatment with concepts & wall structures.

•

Good circulation and direction is the key factor to be kept in mind.

Main entrance is also from the east. • Before the site was a residential building and the area is residential cum commercial i.e. easy accessible for the clients. • The floor selected for the project is the 7th floor which gives easy access to the terrace area for the services. Being at the top floor it will be away from the daily hustle bustle which is important for the project. The access to the top floor is easy due to the lift. The open terrace area above this floor will make the services inlet - outlet easy. (125 Ft X 62 Ft = 7800 Sq. Ft.)

FINAL ZONING 5.5

BRIEF DESCRIPTION THE SPALON The spalon is designed with the chic and luxurious ambiance, keeping in mind the functions and the services. The color theme used is quirky colors for the princely feel. The materials used are velvet, marble flooring, wood, chandeliers, mirrors to give luxury with warm and cozy feel. LAYOUT & ZONING The spalon is divided into different zones based on functions and privacy. Different layers of leveling in flooring gives the feel of grandeur. The connectivity between the areas on the basis of functions make the place more lively yet private. The basic zoning is done in two parts which is on the basis of services.

As seen in the zoning (Fig. 5.5) the staircase divides the area. The left side which is more luxurious & quirky for the styling and the shampoo services while the right side is more private & cozy for spa and bridal services. Both the areas area connected through a luxurious passage with the designer paintings. Among different options worked upon the layout option 2 (Fig. 5.7) is more functional and organized then the option 1 (Fig. 5.6) due to more space utilization. It has more practical and workable approach. In the furniture layout (Fig. 5.8) we can see that the entrance has a luxurious reception with mirror false ceiling for the grandeur feel. The styling station is kept open adjoining the hair wash area to attract clients. The shampoo area i.e. the hair spa, pedicure and the manicure is kept semi private and connected to each other.

In the Spa there is a waiting lounge area to make customers feel special and welcomed. The bridal area is highlighting in the center. There is a special photo-shoot corner for the brides to feel special and pampered. There is a exit door in this area for the brides to easily go out in-spite of crossing the whole salon. The services are provided through the flooring and ceiling. ELECTRICAL & DIMENSION LAYOUT The electrical layout (Fig. 5.10) tells us the lights used as per the area that is bright focus and ambient lights in the styling and bridal area and warm and cozy dim lights in spa area. The dimension layout (Fig. 5.11) tells us about the measurements of the spaces. It also shows the sectional elevations. The 3D views give us the overall look of the spalon.

CONCLUSION THIS CHAPTER INCLUDES THE CONCLUSION AND THE NAME OF THE RESOURCES FROM WHERE THE DATA IS BEING COLLECTED. THE LINKS OF THE IMAGES AND THE RESEARCH IS BEING GIVEN IN THE SECTION. THE CONCLUSION OF THE PROJECT.

CONCLUSION “The details are not the details, they make the design” Charles Eames.

I would like to conclude that, it is an immense learning experience while preparing the project. This project taught a lot about the design, technicalities related to spa & salon, the services and the facilities related to the project are being kept in mind.

Graduation project for me was a chance to challenge myself with a topic of my choice and delivering it with equal interest and enthusiasm. It is a culmination of my individuality, my perspective and approach to new ideas as a designer. It is a dreamy design with a practical approach. I have all the faith in the design because of the passion I have put to make the imaginary ideas into the practical world in the most thoughtful manner. “The function of design is letting design function.” Micha Commeren, Designer.
