New Greensboro Day Spa Offers Green, Family Appeal

In Italian, “sorella” means sister, so it’s not surprising that family plays a key role at Sorella Day Spa, which had its grand opening on September 23rd, at Westridge Square Shopping Center.

“We want to treat all of our staff and patrons as sisters treat each other,” explains proprietor Dao Truong, 26. The ambitious young businesswoman comes from a long line of entrepreneurs; her family has been in the beauty industry for 15 years and owns businesses in Hillsborough and Greensboro.

Inside the calming green interior of Sorella, it’s easy to imagine a mother and daughter settling side-by-side into the deep, cushioned pedicure chairs for relaxing footbaths and massages as part of the Like Mother Like Daughter spa package. Silver Nano tubs kill 99.9% of germs and bacteria on the surface of the tubs, Truong explains, just one of the many new spa technologies she incorporated when planning Sorella.

“I think we’re only the second place in town that has these,” she says.

The Bella Mama package treats mothers-to-be to prenatal massages, manicures, pedicures, and facials using products from Truong’s Green Spa collection, which offers certified organic, chemical free, petroleum-free, and paraben-free products.

“Especially good for pregnant ladies,” Truong adds. Jurlique, a company that uses biodynamic, sustainable farming practices, skin care products and Zoya formaldehyde-free nail polish are typically found in the high-class spas of New York and Las Vegas—two locations Truong visits to find new products for her spa.

She also looked to Italy and Europe for ideas. “I’ve always been inspired by these outdoor European spas, the nice destination health clubs,” she says. “I tried to make it as close to that as possible.”

Cool green tones, dark leather chairs, and minimalistic glass-bowl sinks give the spa a contemporary European feel. And delicate touches – silk-covered light shades and white silk orchids – add a subtle Asian elegance.

Truong’s goal is to make Sorella as inviting and environmentally-friendly as possible; she’s using less paper products, recycling whenever possible, and conserving energy by taking basic steps like unplugging and switching off equipment when not in use. It’s a simple, common-sense approach, one that her customers and the community will appreciate for years to come.

South Carolina golf vacation hotspots Myrtle Beach, Charleston and Hilton Head know a spa visit is an essential part of a golf trip for women golf travelers. With that in mind, we pair up golf courses women love with nearby spas.

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – It’s obvious since the first gutta percha golf ball was struck – a bad slice, by the way – that men and women view the game of golf very differently.

For men, it’s all about out-driving your buddies for bragging rights, humiliating your opponents and maybe winning some money along the way. For women, it’s all about the outfits.

Just kidding. But it is true that women often consider factors different from men when choosing a golf course. For the most part, women don’t like beastly long courses or forced carries.

The same is true for post-round pursuits. Women want to refresh and rejuvenate. Men want to drink and make excuses.

This story is for the women and many of the men who are getting into spa treatments. Here are some of the best combinations of golf/spas in South Carolina:

Myrtle Beach

Women-friendly courses

• Willbrook Plantation on Pawleys Island.

• King’s North at Myrtle Beach National.

• Willard Byrd Golf Course at Sea Trail Resort & Golf Links in Sunset Beach.

Spas

• Mystic Garden Day Spa (5903 North Kings Highway, Myrtle Beach, tel. (843) 449-2247) gets good reviews from women who have experienced it. The spa offers shiatsu, which is rhythmic pressure three to 10 seconds on specific points along the body’s “meridians.” They also have synchronized massage, co-ed therapists, foot reflexology and paraffin treatments.

• VanEpps Rejuvenation (417 79th Avenue North, Myrtle Beach, tel. (843) 497-9699) was started by a retired physician who wanted to combine traditional spa amenities with a professional medical practice. That became known as “aesthetic medicine.”

It’s a “non-surgical, medical approach to beauty and anti-aging.” That includes “threadlifts,” non-surgical facelifts, mesotherapy, injections for fat dissolution and skin rejuvenation as well as more traditional spa techniques like massage, manicures and pedicures and waxing.
