Sky Spa in Norwood to hold grand opening on Sept. 1

The white tapestries hanging from the high ceilings to the white Corian countertops, Sky Spa in Norwood has clients feeling like they are in the clouds.

Thats a feeling Xuan Thang intended with the architectural design of the Walpole Street spa.

When you first walk in to the spa, you dont expect it to have such tall ceilings, she said. The drapes make you feel like you are in the clouds.

Standing in the entryway of the spacious spa, which offers waxing, facials, manicures and pedicures, Xuan proudly pointed to rooms to her left and right. One side is the nail room, complete with stations for manicures and bench seating for pedicures.

All of the countertops are Corian, which helps reduce bacteria. Xuan said the style of countertop is smooth and very easy to clean. The nail room is open and perfect for larger groups or parties, she said.

On the other side of the building is the drying room. Bottles of the seasonal shades of OPI nail products are clustered on shelves like tiny colorful clouds on a solid white wall. The nail drying stations are custom made with a small shelf for personal items.

In the back of the spa are the facial and waxing rooms. Each room is designed for the client to feel relaxed, she said.

We just tried to put ourselves in the clients place, Xuan said on Monday, Aug. 27, just a few days before the grand opening on Sept. 1. We tried to think about what people might need and like. Then we put it in here.

Xuan and her husband, Hon, decided to open a spa a few years ago. Xuan joked that the industry runs in her family.

My sister, brother, and sister-in law they are all in the beauty industry, she said. So I got my mind into it. I wanted to make a spa something that weve always wanted.
