Wahanda Introduces the “MobDeal” - Collective Buying Power for London

Monday, January 18th, 2010

A Daily Unbeatable Spa, Beauty & Fitness Deal
MobDealsWahanda, the leading online health, beauty and wellness resource, announces the launch of MobDeal - an exciting new concept for consumers to benefit from the power of group buying to get an unbeatable daily deal on offers such as massages, facials, spa days, haircuts, manicures, yoga, Pilates classes and more.

How it works:
1) Using the power of collective buying, Wahanda negotiates special volume discounts with top spas, salons and studios to offer one exciting MobDeal every day from Monday to Friday.
2) The deal is open to everyone but is only available for 24 hours, and only comes into effect if enough people sign up for that day’s MobDeal (the number varies by day and deal).
3) Customers are encouraged to share the deal with friends via email and social networking tools such as Facebook and Twitter because if the minimum number of purchases is not met, no one gets the deal.
4) Once a MobDeal has been purchased by the minimum number of customers, the unbeatable deal is officially “live” and is available for the rest of the day for anyone to purchase

The Wahanda MobDeal creates a win-win situation for consumers and for spas, salons and fitness venues by guaranteeing a minimum number of new customers to these businesses. Best of all, Wahanda is giving something back– for every MobDeal purchase made, Wahanda will donate £1 to charity:water to continue supporting their great cause of bringing fresh water to communities.

The Wahanda MobDeal will launch in London on Monday, January 18th.  During the week look out for exclusive 70% off deals from leading spas, a celebrity hairdresser, a Power Plate studio and more – a different and exciting deal every day.  Dedicated spa, beauty and fitness consumers can sign up to receive a free daily email at www.wahanda.com to be the first to get that day’s MobDeal.

For the first MobDeal and to sign up for your daily email visit www.wahanda.com

    The gloves were off and the scissors were out when the biggest event in the hairdressing calendar rolled into town on Monday.  The 25th British Hairdressing Awards, hosted this year by TV’s Dermot O’Leary, was held at London Park Lane’s Grosvenor House Hotel bringing together fresh new talents and established members of the industry to celebrate and honour the very best in British hairdressing.

    The night belonged to hob salons who enjoyed a hat trick win for the second year running, and saw their International Creative Director, Akin Konizi presented with the prestigious 2009 British Hairdresser of the Year award.

    “I couldn’t believe it when my name was called out, I was overwhelmed and delighted – winning the title is a dream come true,” said an ecstatic Konizi on winning his converted title.  He now joins the 15 top British hairdressers who have been awarded this title including Trevor Sorbie, John Frieda, Andrew Collinge, Nicky Clarke, Charles Worthington, Umberto Giannini, Beverly C and Mark Hill.

    Hairdressers from all over the UK are invited to enter and compete with the biggest names in the industry in one of sixteen categories; nine regional categories covering all areas of the UK, six specialist categories, the Schwarzkopf Professional British Colour Technician of the Year and British Hairdresser of the Year.  Demonstrating skills and talents judged independently by a panel of distinguished figures, any hairdresser within the UK can make their mark and have their profile significantly increased to match that of their idols.

    Wahanda Tries…The Hypoxi Therapy Trainer

    Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

    hypoxiBy Melissa Brobby.

    Are you dreaming of a quick way to lose unwanted cellulite and inches from your bottom, hips and thighs without resorting to liposuction or six days a week at the gym?  Well, we at Wahanda also feel your pain, and that’s why we jumped at the chance to try out the latest piece of fitness technology that is taking the exercise world by storm - the Hypoxi Therapy Trainer.  Its aim is to target the fat stored in your hips, thighs and buttocks helping you to lose inches and reduce cellulite whilst firming your skin within a short space of time.  Sound too good to be true? We went along to The City Point Club in Moorgate, London to put it to the test. 

    Tempted to give it a go yourself? Why not book yourself in for a free session with our special offer?

    Whether you’re struggling to drop a dress size, have tried to change your body shape but countless gym visits have shown no results, or you’re looking to achieve a great figure with very little effort, then Hypoxi could be for you.  Its wondrous benefits claim to include:

    •    A noticeable reduction to the appearance of cellulite.
    •    A naturally toned lower body.
    •    Concentrated fat burn on the buttocks, hips and thighs that results in fast and effective weight loss.

    It is estimated that around 90% of women are prone to gaining fatty deposits on the lower body thanks to poor circulation, and many find that numerous diets or visits to the gym do nothing to reduce the appearance of cellulite on the hips, thighs and buttocks, or shift the fat from those areas.  The Hypoxi Trainer tackles those problem areas using a unique combination of gentle exercise and vacuum therapy within a short space of time.

    How does it work?

    As you gently cycle within the machine, a vacuum below you generates a low atmospheric pressure to the hips, thighs and buttocks giving you the feeling you’re being sucked into a hole, but this triggers an increased flow of blood to these areas.  This helps break down fatty tissue as you exercise, and the fatty acids from the lower body only are then circulated around your body where they are burnt off as fuel for your muscles.

    The increased blood, nutrition and oxygen supply to the lower body results in fast weight loss and reduction in cellulite from your hips, buttocks and thighs.  It is recommended to incorporate this treatment alongside a regular fitness regime for maximum results.

    Each session lasts thirty minutes, and it’s recommended that this is done 3 or 4 times a week to really see a difference.  Once you have been weighed and measured before your first session, the amount you will need is determined by your consultant; however, the minimum number of sessions on the Hypoxi trainer is 12 which can cost from £400 to £500.  You will also be given a food recommendation plan to help prevent any weight you lose from returning when your sessions are over.

    Don’t be disheartened if you can still see your cellulite after your first session as it is not a magic machine!  However, follow their recommended healthy eating plan, and use the machine 3 or 4 times a week, and who knows what transformation your lower half will take?  If it’s good enough for Cheryl Cole, it can work for you too!
