Autumn is well and truly setting in, bringing chillier days, darker nights and a deep-seated need to pamper ourselves. Research dictates that self-care can help dissolve stress and boost happiness. So why not head over to Rathbone Square and indulge yourself in a spot of autumn self-care, and see what it can do for your mind, body and mood? There’s plenty on offer… come join us!.
A beauty treatment. A makeover. A spa experience. A spot of meditation. Whatever makes you feel better, a change of season is the ideal time to spoil yourself.
Go on, pamper yourself!
Being pampered is an essential part of any self-care routine and it can have a truly positive impact on mental health and well-being. Taking time to pamper yourself can reduce stress, boost self-esteem, enhance your mood and promote better sleep, as well as providing time for self-reflection.
At Rathbone Square, pampering opportunities abound for all.

Only the finest hair will do for this brand, whose highly qualified hairdressers each have at least ten years’ London salon experience.

As well as hair extensions, there’s a host of hair treatments to help give your natural hair a boost, plus a selection of programmes designed to rescue your hair’s health. So if you’re suffering from colour damage, pregnancy or menopause related hair thinning, or hair-related issues caused by medical treatment or stress, the team will come up with something to restore your confidence.
There’s also the Vixen & Blush tailor-made #GrowYourOwn programme, providing hair extensions and treatments to help with restoring natural hair quality. Now how’s that for a spot of autumn self-care?
