New Spa Owner Talks Beauty Inside Out

Published on

By: Precious Mills

BASSETERRE, St. Kitts (Tuesday 12th February 2019)- With a mindset of making people look and feel good, owner of the newly-opened Beauty Inside Out (dubbed St. Kitts and Nevis most exquisite salon and spa), Dimple Gidwani, is hoping that the luxurious experience would highlight and complement the importance of holistic self-care, both physically and emotionally.

Nestled at the St.Kitts Castle (opposite Silver Reef) in Frigate Bay, the commercial establishment officially opened its doors with a grand celebration on Saturday 2nd February.

Over 300 specially-invited guests and other well-wishers from all walks of life collectively assembled for special merriment of scrumptious bites and musical entertainment.

“I’m over whelmed by the response and the appreciation I received from our guests. The event was so much fun and I truly appreciate each and every one who took their time out from their busy schedules and attended the event and made it so special for us, and to the people who could not make it I’m looking forward to seeing them soon,” Gidwani expressed.

Commenting on the inspiration behind the chosen business name, she shared: “There is an old expression ‘beauty is skin deep’; I’m in the beauty business and I love all beautiful things. I’m a very visual person and I love being surrounded by beauty. Feeding your skin from inside out is very important to me thus our natural and organic skin care products goes more than skin deep. A beautiful mind and a beautiful soul is what makes a person beautiful inside out and that is why this name came to my mind.”

As to why she has branded it as the most exquisite, she told: “I have designed the place myself and have worked on this project for a few months. I want St.Kitts to experience luxury, so every single furniture you see here is Italian and I have tried to keep it simple yet elegant and most of our products that we use are organic and natural and I want people to experience a great ambiance and a great service. I have tried my best to make it look and feel exclusive and I want to deliver quality products and services.”

One of the standout features at Beauty Inside Out is a bar.

“Hey, hey! Where in the world have you seen a bar in any salon?,” Gidwani boasted with a broad smile.

“That is my personal fav[ourite] spot in the salon,” she added with a wink.

The bar is located just outside of her office that has the door signage of ‘Boss Lady’.

According to Gidwani so far business “has been good but it’s just the start; I have a long way to go. I want to deliver the best it’s just the beginning but I’m enjoying every bit of it.”

The Beauty Inside Out owner says the prices are reasonable.

“I want to cater to all so if you see in spite of the products being organic and natural, and looking at the ambiance you might feel it’s going to be over priced but I have kept the prices very, very reasonable for everyone to afford and enjoy luxury and yet feel at home,” she told.

Services include gel & acrylic nail extensions, 3D nail art, herbal massages, organic and natural facials, eye lash extensions, hair color & treatments, waxing and threading and much more.
