A Global Experience

Jignesh Patel, Owner and Founder, Namastey Wellness Spa and Salon, shares with Priyanka Parshurami the idea of creating a holistic therapeutic experience in an urban landscape.

Travel has a way of enriching your mind and your life. Harnessing the experiences that travelling around the world has added to his life, Jignesh Patel curated Namastey Wellness Spa and Salon and presented it as a global tapestry to his discerning clientele.

From the soothing Korean Head Spa to the rejuvenating Turkish Hammam and healing Chinese Moxibustion, this holistic retreat offers transformative experiences, with personalised care and eco-conscious practices, amidst the flurry of city life.

VISION OF WELLNESS

After successfully managing two salons, Patel envisioned a space where clients could experience a blend of beauty and wellness therapies from across the world. “It took a year of hard work to bring this Korean-inspired concept to life,” he shares, adding that his travels to Korea, China and Turkey ensured authentic treatments and top-quality equipment.

Unlike a typical wellness destination, Namastey Wellness Spa is rooted in the philosophy of offering thoughtfully curated international therapies under one roof. “We wanted to go beyond the usual massages and bring international-level treatments from Korea, Turkey, China, and traditional Ayurveda from Kerala,” Patel explains. Each treatment is designed to provide not just relaxation but a transformative experience that reconnects guests with their sense of well-being.

While many spas chase trends, Namastey Wellness Spa has set its own. “We pioneered the Korean Head Spa in Navi Mumbai, making it a trend,” Jignesh reveals proudly. The viral treatment has inspired other spas to put the service on their menus, too. Beyond the Korean Head Spa, Namastey offers Moxibustion from China and the luxurious Turkish Hammam, providing clients with an unparalleled luxury experience.

PERSONALISED TREATMENTS

Personalisation is at the core of the spa’s customer approach. From initial consultations to tailor-made treatments, every aspect is customised to meet each guest’s preferences and needs.

“We use client feedback, consent forms and even software data to curate treatments,” says Patel. The spa’s attentive therapists and serene environment further enhance the bespoke experience.

Their signature treatments are a harmonious blend of luxury and holistic well-being. “We are the second in the country to launch the Korean Head Spa,” Patel points out. This unique therapy combines relaxing massage techniques, guashas, Tibetan singing bowls and aromatherapy for a truly immersive experience. Other standout treatments include the Chinese Moxibustion and the Turkish Hammam, designed for complete relaxation.

Since the pandemic, client expectations have undergone a sea change. “There’s a greater emphasis on hygiene and mental well-being,” Patel observes. Enhanced sanitation practices, disposable service items and stringent cleanliness protocols ensure guests feel safe and cared for at Namastey Wellness Spa. Personalised toiletries and fresh, dry-cleaned towels further elevate the experience. “We use eco-friendly, organic products sourced responsibly,” he emphasises. From biodegradable packaging to energy-efficient technologies and ethically sourced linens, the spa is committed to reducing its environmental footprint. Refillable dispensers and responsible product sourcing further underscore this commitment.

A HARMONISED FUTURE

Looking ahead, Patel sees Namastey Wellness Spa as a sanctuary that continues to evolve and expand. “We aim to open new outlets and offer more personalised wellness journeys,” he shares. Sustainability will remain a core focus, ensuring that eco-conscious practices are integrated into every aspect of the spa’s operations. “Our goal is to be a place where guests can disconnect from the stresses of daily life and reconnect with themselves.”

With its innovative therapies, commitment to sustainability and unwavering focus on personalised experiences, Namastey Wellness Spa is redefining wellness in India. Under Patel’s visionary leadership, it stands as a beacon of holistic healing, offering a luxurious retreat for those seeking balance and serenity in their lives.
