Brown Paper Pampering?

I've been keeping my eye on a day spa that opened near where I live recently.

Lots of mystique and curiosity while it was being shop-fitted, lots of delays to pique the interest, lots of wondering ...

But now it's open. And it's the plainest, most brown-paper-wrapping hole in the wall you could ever hope to see.

The black plastic hiding the building work was far more intriquing.

Why? Is this some new fashion? The 'anti-pampering pampering'?

Sure has no attraction to me. Even the one customer I saw sitting in the goldfish bowl waiting room looked about to nod off - or expire.

Any thoughts?
