Evelyn Manson-Miller, Owner of XES Spa Lounge, Merges Mind & Body Care!

March 31, 2011 by

[HTML1] At the newly opened XES (pronounced “excess”) Spa Lounge on Park Road, the purpose of an appointment isn’t just for relaxation – owner Evelyn Manson-Miller created the space with the goal of educating her clients in the best ways to take care of their minds and bodies. Evelyn splits her time between homes in Rocky Hill and Miami, Florida, with her husband. She wanted to bring the concept of a pampering lounge to Connecticut, explaining that these types of spas are wildly successful in Miami. Men and women get daily facials, massages and other treatments.

“In Miami, the spa is part of people’s lives,” Miller said. “It’s a way of life, of living, down there, for both men and women.” She said she wanted to bring that spirit to the area to combine “West Hartford tradition with a little Miami flare.”

The therapists at XES each have no less than five years of experience, most with more than ten, and update their training every three months. Services include massage therapy; Thai massage, a style of assisted yoga; facials and skin care; manicures and pedicures; waxing and threading – another style of eyebrow shaping that has recently grown in popularity – and even microcurrent therapy, a new treatment that includes anti-aging, scar and sun damage repair after its development to help heal battlefield wounds.

“If you buy a Mercedes, would you go to Jiffy Lube for an oil change? Your body is a Mercedes. It’s a luxury item,” she said, explaining that what you put into it is what’s going to make the difference. Having had training with a dermatologist in Miami, Miller applies that knowledge to the business and promises that no matter the skin type, “whoever comes through this door will be able to be serviced.”

About Al Cole

Al Cole, “Mr. Romance,” has lived some life, and has paid some dues. Al, an African-American man(don’t let the blue eyes fool ya!), is the product of a very loving, very special, romantic mother and father. From the earliest age Al related to that generous, loving, romantic spirit that was nurtured in him.

Al has also seen oppression. Oppression can sometimes breed sensitivity and empathy. This aspect of living has caused Al to relate to women even more sensitively and empathetically. A sensitivity and empathy that Al calls “Romance.” Creativity rounds out the character. Al is a born and professional entertainer. Through Al’s singing and songwriting, his CBS Radio broadcasting, and through the depth of his voice, Al has learned many ways to deliver his “Romance” message—seriously, comically, sensually and spiritually. He has carried the Romantic word out to women…and to men too. And in the carrying of that message, Al has found that women and men from all backgrounds have often asked for his advice and guidance concerning their familial and romantic relationships.

Al has been particularly blessed to have women confide some of their deepest personal and relationship secrets to him. These “secrets” coupled with his own experiences and intuitions have combined in his offering both women and men some of the most powerful, enlightening, and mind-challenging guidance that they say they have ever received.

Al has been told over and over again by his fans, fans who affectionately call themselves “Al Cole-holics”, that his reflections, as well as his romantic words, could fill a book. The reflections, the romance, and the “secrets” have now been revealed in Al’s new book Romance for Women…& For All Mankind!

Al is also the Host of Al Cole: People of Distinction on WomensRadio. Al Cole: PEOPLE Of DISTINCTION is a unique show giving distinctive public figures the chance to talk not only about their great public accomplishments, but also notable aspects of themselves as individuals...what motivates them to create the things they do, their special goals and interests, their insights into life itself!
