Wildsmith – The Treehouse at Liberty | 60 minutes, £120
Transport yourself to the bucolic surroundings of the Heckfield Estate at The Treehouse, Wildsmith’s in-house treatment room at Liberty. A uniquely immersive experience captures the scents, sounds and natural connection of the Heckfield Estate arboretum – including a “treescape” of sounds recorded on the estate.
It’s in these surroundings, in the heart of Soho, where Wildsmith’s Rebalancing Massage awaits. Carefully designed to support your unique circadian rhythm, the treatment uses Wildsmith’s signature essential oil blends, aligned to specific times of day for maximum rebalancing potential.
“Our ethos is about skin health and wellbeing, using plant-powered ingredients backed up by lab-grown actives and bio-actives,” Katherine Pye, general manager, explains to Liberty. “All of our leave-on products go through clinical trials, so they deliver amazing holistic results while also being highly effective.”
This focus on results, combined with an immersive relaxation experience, makes The Treehouse at Liberty the ultimate nature escape: right in the heart of the city.
Taylor Taylor – Hard Water Hair Rehab | 60 minutes, £100
Liberty’s in-house hair salon Taylor Taylor describes this four-step treatment as “an urban antidote for tired, dry and dull hair”. Using smart bio-tech ingredients from Davines, including baobab extract for nourishment and vegan collagen to reinforce the hair architecture, the treatment cleanses, purifies, restores and repairs hair from the impacts of hard water.
“Hard water, rich in calcium and magnesium, causes stubborn mineral buildup on the hair that leads to dryness, dullness, frizz, and tangles,” explains Annelie James, lead educator at Taylor Taylor. “It also impacts the scalp, causing dryness, irritation, and often dandruff , while leaving the hair feeling heavy, brittle, and prone to breakage.”
In the 60-minute treatment, recipients can expect a cleanse tailored to offset mineral build up, a luxuriant treatment and head massage, and a blow-dry using a targeted leave in mask, which can repair hair structure by up to 90% and increase lipid content by up to 200%.
“By gently removing this metal and mineral residue, we restore the hair’s natural balance, allowing moisture, treatments, and colour to penetrate deeply for softer, shinier, and more manageable hair,” adds James.
Seed to Skin Tuscany – The Reverse Signature Facial | 60 minutes, £140
Rising up from the Tuscan countryside is Borgo Santo Pietro- an estate where all Seed to Skin Tuscany treatments and products are developed, boasting the abundant richness of the natural land. Taking a holistic approach towards therapeutic and beauty treatments using aromatic plants freshly picked from the estate, Seed to Skin Tuscany’s masterful blend of nature and science is brought to Liberty via their Reverse Signature Facial.
Founder Jeanette Tottrup explains, “I always knew I wanted to merge the ancient wisdom of botany and natural medicine with the latest in technology and science to create the ultimate skincare.”
In the 60-minute treatment, guests can expect a revitalising, high-performance facial featuring a Myofascial massage that lifts and sculpts the face, a powerful double-mask treatment delivering deep and lasting hydration, and Cryotherapy to boost circulation, reduce puffiness and refine facial contours. Completing the ritual, guests can choose between The Light Source or The Cure, each providing restorative hydration and supporting cellular regeneration for a visibly renewed, radiant complexion.
Omorovicza – Liberty Exclusive Facial | 60 minutes, £175
Inspired by the healing waters of Budapest and time-honoured traditions of Hungarian facial massage, Omorovicza showcases its mineral-charged skincare to Liberty, with a unique and indulgent 60-minute treatment, exclusive to Liberty. Budapest’s healing waters have long been known to help soothe, repair and protect skin: the result of the 26 different minerals that occur naturally in the thermal waters.
Over time, science has proven what thermal water devotees have known for years: this naturally occurring elixir has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant properties, and can help boost levels of hydration, oxygenation and proteins, such as collagen.
Grounded on this knowledge, and amplified by expert techniques, Omorovicza’s luxurious treatment includes a double cleanse, gentle exfoliation, and a mask to address your unique needs, while a traditional Hungarian massage using quartz wands or cooling derma-globes stimulates circulation and relieves tension for a sculpted glow.
