Su-Man facialist. Shiatsu beauty to make you beautiful
During the summer months of 2025 I had the pleasure of two luxury facials, and we discussed life, relationships, love and how we stay beautiful particularly as we get older.
Based out of the Sofitel Hotel on Waterloo Place on the edge of St. James and very close to Piccadilly Circus, London.
Ultimately as with so much of life bit by bit as we get older, we start to work out the nuts and bolts of how to stay happy and beautiful.
Blending her unique expertise in dance, Shiatsu, Pilates and oriental facial massage, these are powerful revitalising treatments.
After a bespoke skin analysis to tailor the facial to your specific needs, Su-Man deep cleanses, extracts impurities, exfoliates, tones and moisturises the face with her carefully designed massage techniques, using her own specially created skincare products. Su-Man’s expert firm deep tissue massage to the neck, upper arms, hands and feet completes the experience.
With Su-Man Hsu’s Shiatsu routes grounding her, I believe these are the reasons she is so excellent and effective at her job.
First is her training in Shiatsu and its healing culture and secondly is the fact she is a dancer and anyone with a love of dance will know that a dancer definitely knows how your body works and on occasion does not work and how to heal.
As I have got older, I have definitely become more honest about who I am. I suffer from anxiety, which comes and goes, am a romantic and indeed to stay one, love communicating, being and exploring but yes, I can be a worrier and so I make sure I swim and walk and must tell myself to stretch more.
So, for me I have a facial and here goes 100% honesty. I like some pampering. Most people do, if they are honest and having a facial is a wonderful time to just let go for an hour or two. Also, a facial looks after my aesthetic upkeep. My wellbeing, of which love is one part and the other is making sure my bodies energy is flowing (that’s my terminology). I have been blessed with my mother’s looks and though I have just had my 58th birthday I am often told I look considerably younger, and yes Su-Man flattered me too. Flattery gets you a long way !! but and there is a but I am not an angel. I like my food and I like tasty food and I drink, not outrageously but all I am saying is I am not a monk and equally I am just starting to see the gentle stages of age and I intend to keep them gentle for as long as possible.
The 1st facial I had was Myofascial Facial Treatment. This is for those who can deal with some discomfort, but like you keep fit class want results. I think of this as the facial for those who like yoga.
The 2nd facial I had was an Oxygen Facial. This is pampering time and yes my skin glowed. Pampering is very important, not purely for aesthetic reasons but with the worlds increasing stresses we must find ways to recharge.
The main thing we try to give you is to paint a picture of an experience and give some thoughts that will interest you. More specifically you can read her Su-Man Facial Instagram account or the website to get to the nuts and bolts. There are millions of people telling you they are the best, its “proven” or it’s the most or its clinically or scientifically proven. We are here to introduce you to the best; the expert and she is one of the beauty experts to pay attention to and certainly in her own niche Su-Man is “best in class”.
Cheesy maybe but its true. Be kind to yourself, be kind to others but we all need some encouragement and on occasion some harsh truths told.
I like to be pampered.
I like to have a chat.
I like to look my best.
And I like to be looked after by the best to achieve the best I can deliver for me and others. Gosh profound, Michael!
Su-Man excels in these. She is a true expert, is kind, but honest and I would be very very surprised if you do not walk out looking and feeling Bella xxx
