OLE HENRIKSEN

How did you choose the style and design for Face/Body?

"I wanted to create a sanctuary for the spirit as well as the body, a complete haven."

Ole Henriksen of Denmark was a landmark across the street on Sunset Boulevard for almost 20 years. In 1998 Ole decided he needed a "new look in a new space" and moved to the current location. It is a jewel box of Zen design that breaks from the clinical atmosphere in many spa establishments. "I wanted something with a new look to reflect the changes in my clients and their changing needs. Of course I still care for many celebrities but I see a lot of professional women who want a place to relax while they are here for a treatment."

The use of muted lights, Indian slate floors, natural maple and birch woods and earth-toned wall coverings all work together to create a feeling of being in a sanctuary, which is quite an accomplishment considering that Ole and his team of seven aestheticians are among the most in-demand skin care professionals in Los Angeles.

In the tranquil "quiet room" we discussed the change from being primarily a facial salon to a full service spa. "I wanted to create a sanctuary for the spirit as well as the body, a complete haven. That is why the spa offers a complete range of treatments. We have two wet rooms, two rooms for massage, a room with a Japanese soaking tub, as well as nine facial rooms."
