The CUCUMBA story began in 2003, when Stella set herself a challenge, namely, to create an environment she wanted to work in; a place that was creative, innovative, fun, and truly different. It was tough going at first. Until her cousin/niece/friend (it's an African thing), Vivienne (chartered accountant, actress, business analyst, drama queen, whatever) came riding to the rescue. And together, they staked everything on a vision:
A revolution in beauty and massage therapies.

They thought:
  • Why should people have to wait till they're retired, or made a million, to enjoy delicious, pampering therapies? (Stella thinks about retirement a lot; she's no spring chicken.)
  • Why are there no decent day spas in the centre of town, unless you book two years in advance for a manicure and pedicure that cost an arm and a leg?
  • Why should perfectly cool people have to go to seedy, girly-pink nail bars and salons?
  • Why should they pay a tenner for ten minutes in an undulating chair in the name of a massage?
  • Why not make exquisite, pampering therapies more accessible more often, for more people - as an antidote to the stresses of urban life?

They decided to put a stop to all that! And CUCUMBA was born. So now you can get beauty and massage therapies that fit in with your time and budget, in a suitably stylish environment.

If you're feeling low and need a pick-me-up, we offer pampering a-plenty for under a tenner (and five more minutes of heaven for only £3.50). And if you've got all day, you can stay all day - because it's all about time.

Stella, Vivienne and the CUCUMBA team are on a mission to transform a nation of stressed-out, overworked souls into pampered glamazons and polished himbos.

Welcome to CUCUMBA - the Urban Pit Stop- It's a love thing. We hope you will love us as much as we love you.
