BEAUTY REVIEW<br />
Hayahay Beauty Spa<br />
There is something instantly relaxing about driving down towards Umdloti and turning<br />
into the heavenly, tree-lined Bellamont Road. Coming from either <strong>Ballito</strong> or <strong>Umhlanga</strong>,<br />
it feels like a little escape from the busyness of life. Similarly, as you walk down the<br />
long wooden deck towards the entrance of Hayahay Beauty Spa, you know you have<br />
arrived somewhere peaceful and very special.<br />
Owned by Cecilia Davies, who is<br />
originally from the Philippines,<br />
Hayahay Beauty Spa first opened its<br />
doors in November 2019. Cecilia fell<br />
in love with South Africa and KZN<br />
after spending many years here with<br />
her late husband. A gentle soul by<br />
nature, Cecilia loves to see people<br />
happy, which is why she was inspired<br />
to create this luxurious haven of<br />
tranquillity and spoils. Tucked away<br />
in its forest-like setting, that is exactly<br />
what Hayahay is.<br />
During my visit, I was invited to<br />
experience three different treatments:<br />
an express facial, a back and neck<br />
massage and a gel nail overlay. Each<br />
treatment was done by one of the<br />
three experienced and qualified<br />
therapists who work for Cecilia (all of<br />
whom are clearly passionate about<br />
what they do).<br />
My first treatment was an express<br />
Dermalogica facial done by the lovely<br />
Zama. After taking some time to<br />
carefully examine my skin, Zama gave<br />
me a wonderful, luxurious treatment<br />
that left my skin feeling instantly<br />
glowing and packed with moisture.<br />
After the facial I was treated to a<br />
heavenly 30-minute back and neck<br />
massage by the lovely Cindy before<br />
being whisked off to the manicure<br />
and pedicure station for a gel overlay<br />
done by the ‘queen of nails’ Thembi.<br />
Hayahay (which is the Filipino word<br />
for comfort, relax, breezy and refresh)<br />
has a wide range of treatments on<br />
offer, including a variety of facials,<br />
manicures and pedicures, as well as<br />
gel, acrylic and polygel nails. They<br />
also have a selection of massages to<br />
choose from, including hot stone,<br />
full body, back and neck, Indian<br />
head, Thai, body exfoliation, foot<br />
massages, sports massages and even couples’ massages on request and offer<br />
waxing, eyelash extensions and tinting. They also stock a wide range of products,<br />
including brands like Dermalogica, Heliocare and Be Bright collagen.<br />
The ideal place to recharge and reconnect (either with yourself or with your<br />
friend or partner), Hayahay is a wonderful, secluded gem and definitely worth a<br />
visit!<br />
