Africology launches in UK spa

South African spa brand Africology has teamed up with London's Bloww salon to launch its treatment menu in the UK.

From the end of September, all treatments at Bloww will use Africology products while the products will also go on sale at the Bloww retail zone.

Africology owner and CEO Renchia Droganis has partnered with Rachelle Moulai on the project, with Moulai being named spa director of the Africology Spa at Bloww.

Moulai said: "The Bloww Hair and Urban Spa is the perfect partner for Africology. The salon is located in a premium area in London and over the years it has positioned itself as a high-end, luxury salon where customers can expect the best possible service. This fits perfectly with the Africology ethos.”

South African spa brand Africology has entered the UK after agreeing a partnership deal with London's Bloww salon.
