Les Nouvelles
acknowledges leaders in the Spa Industry…
 The
inaugural Les Nouvelles Esthetiques Spa Awards in 2005 was the
beginning of many exciting developments to come. The Spa Award
programme has evolved into more than pure recognition of
achievement, it has set the benchmark for spas in South Africa.
By entering the Spa Awards in 2006, you will ensure that your spa is
not only acknowledged for its accomplishments as a leader in your
field but it will provide additional motivation and encouragement
for your staff. It is a programme that honours spas that have
synergy through out, thus allowing one to set their own standards
against those of the competitors in their field. Therefore ensuring
that your spa continuously meets the expectations and needs of your
clientele.
Les Nouvelles Esthetiques is a valued spa information supplier to
the South African community at large, and is devoted to promoting
those who excel within their field. Les Nouvelles therefore provides
additional Public Relations and Marketing Support to the entrants of
the 2006 Spa Awards, ensuring that they receive the admiration they
deserve.
The Les Nouvelles Esthetiques Spa Awards programme forms part of the
three elements of Les Nouvelles Esthetiques program, with the other
elements being the Spa Conferences and the Les Nouvelles Esthetiques
Spa Magazine, thus these three aspects provide for the framework of
Les Nouvelles and the reason why we have remained the leading source
of information for the spa industry.
The three elements compliment one another and are continually
integrated, thus ensuring that you, the spa, remains informed,
educated and uplifted through the services that we provide.
Through the success of the 2005 awards, the Les Nouvelles
Esthetiques Spa Awards have shown tremendous growth.
The 2006 Spa Awards will consist of five (5) Categories, with the
introduction of the Safari Spa and Unique Spa Concept Categories.
In addition to the Day Spa, Destination Spa and Resort/Hotel Spa
Categories.
“The Spa sector has grown in multiple facets. In order to meet the
demands of the ever-growing market, Les Nouvelles Esthetiques has
introduced two new categories to the Spa Awards. This will ensure
further calibration and refinement in the categories and definitions
of the awards, where similar institutions are compared with one
another. Ultimately providing the spa client with a greater
understanding of what to expect.”
– Dr Nadine de Freitas
(Managing
Editor, Les Nouvelles
Esthetiques South Africa)
The impact of the award has been huge. At the
time the spa had only just been open for six months and the effect
of the positive national and international media exposure that we
received as the winner in our category was enormous. Our spa has
become well-known overnight. However, the biggest impact was on
staff motivation and team morale. Our therapists have developed in
leaps and bounds after winning the award, because their self
confidence has grown with the realisation of what they have achieved
together as a team.”
Leigh-Anne Wagner –
Spa Manager, Pezula Spa & Gym
(Winner
of the Les Nouvelles Esthetiques
Resort/Hotel Spa Category, 2005)
“Becoming the winner of the Les Nouvelles Best Day Spa 2005, has
opened our view as to what we are up against, in terms of what is
expected of Skin Sense, what standards need to be set, what we can
improve on, what more can we offer our clients and also how to
maintain them. Being independent and properly categorised, it was
and a true honour and privilege to win.”
Keryn Hayes –
Owner, Skin Sense Day Spa
(Winner
of the Les Nouvelles Esthetiques
Day Spa Category, 2005)
“When one receives an award at a competition which has such high
standards and are positioned as a finalist in the top five, it truly
is a rewarding experience. It is a validation for all the hard work
the therapists and members of staff have put in, in order to achieve
this. It also made us aware of our short falls as we strive to be
better and achieve even better results next time. Overall we are
very happy with our results and look forward to next year’s
competition. Thank you to the Les Nouvelles team for the
organization and hard work that went into organizing such an event.”

Marketing Manager, s.k.i.n
