‘Pilates for the face: very lucky is the person who can
experience a treatment in her hands.’
So said Joely Richardson.
‘She does these facials that keep
your face alive, so it doesn’t fall down dead!’ And that, you might like to know, was Juliette Binoche.
To this roll-call of rave reviews for
facialist and holistically-trained therapist Su-Man Hsu, Beauty Bible would
like to add our own: ‘This woman
is the real deal. A truly
outstanding, face-waking treatment in which her hands do all the talking,
through firming, massaging, contour-lifting strokes. We wafted out of Su-Man’s studio – a retreat at the bottom
of her North London garden – and simply glowed.’
Our prediction is that Su-Man’s going to
find herself in the Facials Hall of Fame before you can say ‘extraction’,
taking her rightful place alongside Eve Lom, Amanda Lacey, Sarah Chapman and
Emma Hardie.
The catch? You’ll have to make a pilgrimage to Holloway - though for
special clients, Su-Man pays housecalls.
But never mind hopping on the Piccadilly
Line (to Finsbury Park). Frankly,
we’d walk on hot coals to get to her...
