Message from the CEO

The second quarter of 2023 has proven to be a busy period for all of our teams.

Taking advantage of the peak Ramdan, Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha period, we saw strong drives through launches and openings from all of our brands.

The recent signoff on the partnership with PR agency Red Havas has widened the public relations door for many of our brands who have already benefited from a number of col- laborations with macro– influencers.

Our training department continue to provide our VIP clients and therapists regular training to ensure that they remain up to date with the latest products and techniques.

And finally, in a testament to our commit- ment to bringing only the most exclusive luxu- ry skincare too the middle east, we are also proud to announce that Luxuria has been ap- pointed the sole distributor for Swiss Perfec- tion in the GCC. Swiss Perfection is synony- mous with meticulous swiss manufacturing and with only a limited distribution strategy in the middle east will continue to provide exclu- sive treatment for clients familiar with the European brand.
