FLAIR FOR HAIR.

Fancy a highlight or to untwist your tresses? A hair salon appointment is just what you need. Jet Black Ginger, the brainchild of Melbournian Rianni Hustler, gives one of the best hair treatments in Canggu area. With cool /chic décor, the salon is a safe shelter to spoil your locks or to style it with a twist du jour. Hair Boutique Salon is also a favorite for fresh cuts and specialist coloring, and even have a professional make-up artist on deck to help spruce up your look for a night out and about. Another premium joint we love is The Shampoo Lounge that offers a hair-to-toe pampering experience that fortunately doesn’t neglect your partner as they save space for a professional men’s barber.

FACIAL RECOGNITION.

Sun and pollutant kissed, our skin needs some heavy nourishment from time to time. A spa day just might do the trick! For all-time favorites, try the Body Temple Spa at Finns Rec Club where the therapists will present you with several body related questions to determine the kind of treatment or massage you need. Usually, a deep-tissue massage will work wonders to shred all your troubles. At Spring Canggu, springing from the globally renowned Kiwi-based Spring Spa Group, their raw facial (with raw veggies and fruit enzymes) and from farm to face (an antioxidant-rich vegan facial with moringa and aloe vera) is their star treatment, along with the more complex facials such as the French-inspired Coda Hydration Facial. Meanwhile, Goldust Beauty Lounge takes the throne for “most swanky” with their 24K GOLD facials.

INDIGO LUNA

One of the most popular brands on the island, the family run Indigo Luna designs posture friendly and supercomfy yoga apparels. Classic looks and earthy colors dominate their handmade collection of tops, leggings, capris, and flares, making it both elegant and tropical. What sets them further apart is the fact they use sustainable materials such as organic cotton and bamboo, as well as applying old timey natural dyes like indigo, mango, Indian almond, and Indian Redwood leaves, which explains the color variance of the final product. They’ve also partnered with Italian based ECONYL that converts fishing nets and other waste material into a high performance swimwear fabric.

Each clothes are “test drive” in every fitness and yoga movements to the extreme to prove its endurance and durability. That’s why we love Dare 2 Wear’s high quality activewear but not just because of its functionality but also for their colorful and elegant apparel. Definitely earning the label “athleisure” they brandished. So wear at your own leisure.
