World’s First Bastien Gonzalez-Sodashi Pedi:Facial:Synergy Debuts At The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong

The Oriental Spa at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong is the launch pad for the first-ever collaboration from two of the world’s most influential beauty pioneers: France’s celebrity nail guru Bastien Gonzalez and Australia’s Sodashi founder, Megan Larsen, a recognized leader in chemical-free skincare. This singular treatment, named the Bastien Gonzalez-Sodashi Pedi:Facial:Synergy is sure to become one of Hong Kong’s most exclusive and effective beauty experiences.

Sodashi’s chemical-free Samadara™ Illuminating Age-Defying Facial, enhanced by the global debut of Samadara™ Ultimate Age-Defying Elixir, the brand’s ultimate chemical-free skin care solution, is combined with Bastien Gonzalez’s renowned French pedicure and performed simultaneously by two therapists. Individually, Sodashi and Bastien Gonzalez each offer the highest levels of therapeutic indulgence. Together, this powerful combination will revive, rescue and restore from face to feet.  For the ultimate indulgence, a room package – Beauty and Sole Synergy includes luxurious accommodation and a sumptuous breakfast.

Sodashi, founded in 1999 by Megan Larsen, takes its name from the ancient Sanskrit word for ‘wholeness, purity and radiance.’ The innovative Australian brand has led the way in chemical-free skin care development. Completely chemical-free, Sodashi is considered the world’s purest spa range. Sodashi products are never tested on animals, and are entirely free from synthetic chemicals, mineral oils, preservatives and fragrances. “If we can’t make it naturally, naturally we don’t make it,” explains Larsen. For this exciting new collaboration, Sodashi introduces the chemical-free Samadara™ Ultimate Age-Defying Elixir, crafted, tested and perfected over two years.

On the other side of the world, former championship skier Bastien Gonzalez trained in France as a podiatrist. Working in some of the world’s most luxurious destinations, from the Maldives to Manhattan, Gonzalez developed a cosmopolitan clientele of loyal enthusiasts who confirmed his unique status as their “foot virtuoso” To this day, some of the world’s most recognizable, glamorous women rely on Bastien and his beauty secrets.

“My concept is based on three founding pillars: skin curing, nail beauty and a healing foot massage utilizing my precise set of podiatry tools and chemical-free varnish,” says Bastien. “Like Sodashi, the Bastien Pedicure is exceptional, naturally.”

This revolutionary approach to pedicures involves reshaping and polishing the nails and skin with tools including scalpels, lancets and drills, and then buffing with a chamois leather nail buffer, an ancestral secret from his great grandmother. Bastien’s signature nail care finishes off with a bespoke paste of real diamond dust that gives each nail a healthy shine. Guests walk away feeling like they are walking on clouds.

Nail treatments developed by Bastien Gonzalez have been recognized by numerous prestigious awards around the world, from “Spa Treatment of the Year” and “Most Attractive Spa Treatment” to “Best Pedicure.” The Oriental Spa is the only location in all of Greater China for beauty followers to experience Bastien’s signature nail care treatments.
