Spa Sensation: Courtyard Sandestin Welcomes Fusion Spa Salon Guests with Luxury Rooms and Suites

    /24-7PressRelease/ - DESTIN, FL, October 26, 2007 - With the opening of the new AVEDA concept salon and spa, Fusion Spa Salon, the Courtyard Sandestin Hotel is welcoming visitors to turn a trip to Fusion into a spa weekend getaway with luxurious rooms and suites.

World-class destinations are expected to offer the finest luxury amenities and services to pamper locals and guests. A new addition to Grand Boulevard at Sandestin is doing just that. Fusion Spa Salon AVEDA is a full-service salon and spa now open in the popular new town center.

Fusion Spa Salon offers a complete menu of services, treatments and products incorporating the AVEDA lifestyle, approach, and products. Hair styling and coloring, facials, skin and body treatments, massage therapy, and aromatherapy are some of the services offered by a staff of experienced professionals. Manicure, pedicure, hair removal, and tanning services are carried as well.

A full line of skin care products, make-up, candles, and oils are on display and a trained aesthetician is available to assist customers with their selection. The Fusion staff will help clients identify a balancing aroma and mix a personalized aromatherapy for individuals looking to create inviting atmospheres of their own. This unique service highlights the idea of balance that is one of the basic tenets of the AVEDA philosophy.

The Grand Boulevard location marks the fourth AVEDA spa salon for Pensacola-based owners Christian and Tandy Hinrichs. Looking to expand their thriving business, they identified the lifestyle concept of the town center as a primary attraction.

"The lifestyle center and the whole lifestyle concept fit really well with our approach and brand. Coming to Grand Boulevard was a natural fit for us and we wanted to be a part of it," says Christian.

As an AVEDA spa salon, Fusion embraces a holistic philosophy to their services, including an all natural approach to health, beauty and skin care. All products are plant derived and 100% natural. Spa salons carrying the AVEDA name and products must also adhere to stringent requirements including rigorous ongoing training and education for all staff.

The interior space within Fusion is designed to separate the bustling salon side from the more serene spa side. According to Christian, it's important to create separate areas for the different services.

"When you have a spa and a salon combined, the energies are completely different for each. We've created a high-fashion, modern area at the entrance and the energy changes by design when you enter the spa area," he says.

Christian says he, Tandy, and the new Destin spa salon's creative director Lloyd Carlyle are looking forward to raising the bar of the salon experience for the area and becoming part of the community.
With the much anticipated opening of this brand new Destin, Florida day spa, Courtyard Sandestin is excited to welcome spa guests to the hotel which features an array of amenities and accommodations, situated for relaxation, rest, and rejuvenation. Highlighted by spacious suites and luxurious bedding complete with plush down comforters, designer duvets, and sumptuous linens, Courtyard Sandestin is raising the standard on sleep at hotels.

Boasting two spa rooms which feature Jacuzzis, this hotel is the perfect location to enjoy a spa vacation or getaway, either with the girls or with that special someone.
