Nic Ronco, Founder and CEO of Yelo Spa, is celebrating 25 years in the US this month. He moved from France in 1988 to build a spa business in New York City. The company has just launched its first spa outside the US in São Paulo, Brazil.
“I believed in the dream and the vision when it was just in my mind and on a piece of paper,” said Ronco. “Now it’s a small multinational and it’s just the very beginning. I’m very grateful for those who trusted me a few years ago.”
The new spa in São Paulo features six ‘Yelo Cabs' – sleeping pods with soundproofing, aromatherapy and chromotherapy – that enable guests to nap for 20 minutes.
In addition, the spa offers facials, massages, manicures and pedicures.
The São Paulo outlet is a simplified version of the Yelo Spa concept – eliminating the menu and reception and replacing it with three service offerings and a host, to customise the session.
