New Beauty & Wellness
The interior fit-out for New Beauty & Wellness on Main Street is well underway, and the business remains on track for a planned early summer opening, according to owners Michele and Paul Dowicz. The street-level space at 128 Main has been vacant since New Balance left two years ago. (Note on the photos above: The design is by Michele Pelafas.)
We put some questions to the Dowiczes as their launch date approaches.
Here’s our exchange:
New Canaanite: How are you feeling about opening in New Canaan?
Michele and Paul Dowicz: NB&W is thrilled to open its second location in New Canaan. We are looking forward to being part of the community.
Why is New Canaan a great location for your business?
Our clients are sophisticated, well-educated consumers, that are mindful of wellness and expect result driven treatments. We believe New Canaan is the perfect location.
What is your message to New Canaanites who may not be familiar with your location in Westport?
There is nothing like NB&W. At NB&W, we believe that you should not have to choose between luxury, science, and nature. We integrate each component to create a holistic wellness experience in our state-of-the-art medical spa, designed to curate unique treatments that exceed our guests needs.
What is your ETA to open?
NB&W plans to open early summer.
What are your early impressions on the New Canaan business community that you’re about to join?
Our early impressions are that New Canaan is a vibrant, dynamic and very welcoming community.
New Canaan is quite a competitive market as far as spa treatments go. What sets New Beauty & Wellness apart?
NB&W is not your traditional medical spa or day spa, we integrate the best of both to create a truly unique wellness experience.
How would you describe your plans for the interior of the space?
The interior of NB&W will have an urban-oasis-meets-coastal-chic feel similar to our Westport location.
