The Buff Day Spa

Situated in Dublin’s city centre, The Buff Day Spa offers a reprieve from the bustle outside its doors. Their expert team tailor spa and beauty treatments to the client’s needs.

In addition to treatment rooms, the spa features a sauna, and tranquillity and relaxation area – right at the top of Grafton Street.

Edvard & Pink

THE LOWDOWN

Winner of Best Beauty Spa in Ireland and Best Beauty Salon in Europe at the World Luxury Spa Awards 2016, Edvard & Pink is quite the Tardis… walk in to what appears to be a salon, and find three floors of beauty services and beautifully appointed treatment rooms.

FACILITIES

A 360 – day spa where every square metre of space is dedicated to the most effective, innovative treatments?and therapies.

BRANDS USED

Murad, CACI, Aromatherapy Associates, Dermalogica, Margaret Dabbs pedis, and Au Courant tans – the Edvard & Pink team are Irish agents for many of these ranges, so guests get platinum-level treatments on all.

USP

The super-helpful team is outstanding, while owner Anita Murray is always innovating, and the latest addition to the spa menu is a range of holistic treatments from therapist Angelie. Colouring books for clients in all waiting areas are a fun reminder of why you’re here.
