STATS REVEALED Londoners are hair obsessed, according to Wahanda – Europe’s online health, beauty and wellness directory, which recently unveiled some interesting UK beauty trends. There are 5.16 hair salons per square mile in the capital – and with an average spend of £75, the services are twice as expensive than those in the East, North East and South West. In addition, it was revealed that Yorkshire &
Humberside has the highest number of beauty locations per capita, averaging only 156 local inhabitants per venue – this compared with 800 inhabitants per beauty venue in London. Yorkshire & Humberside also has just 5,980 inhabitants per tanning venue, compared with 88,789 inhabitants in the West Midlands. Meanwhile, people in the East of England are
the highest medi-spa spenders – paying £240 a visit, compared to Yorkshire where the average spend is £61. Details:

synchronised swims at berkeley
The health club at London’s Berkeley Hotel has got into the Olympic spirit by offering synchronised swimming lessons throughout July and August. It has teamed up with Aquabatix,
an award-winning British synchronised team, to create 90-minute master classes in its rooftop pool for hotel guests. In the classes, swimmers will learn
a range of essential techniques used in the sport. These include the ‘egg beater
88
kick’ – the art of treading water to help with stability and height above the surface, while leaving the hands free for performance; and ‘sculling’ – a type of hand movement used to propel the body. The class will culminate with a routine choreographed to music. The sessions, which are priced at
£125, will be held from 6.00–7.30pm and are limited to eight people at a time. Details:
