It’s no secret that every equestrian could use a little pampering during their down time at horse shows. Between lugging heavy tack trunks, lunging rambunctious horses, riding non-stop and getting so busy that a good skin and hair care routine seems impossible, equestrian’s bodies take a serious beating during shows. To remedy our aches and pains, World Equestrian Center brings all-inclusive hair and spa services to the show grounds via A Bit of Class Salon & Day Spa. Equestrians can escape to the tranquil salon and spa nestled in the corner of Vendor Village at the heart of World Equestrian Center where relaxing essential oils fill the air and soft music quiets the mind.
A Bit of Class Salon & Day Spa at World Equestrian Center offers a vast array of services from hair and nail care, to massages and even specialized professional services like eyelash extensions. When it comes to hair, A Bit of Class Salon & Day Spa is the place to go in Wilmington for all professional hair services. Their experienced Aveda-trained professionals provide a consultative approach to align hair and scalp health to the texture, shape, control, volume and shine. All services offered at the main salon are offered at World Equestrian Center including cuts, colors, highlights and scalp purifying services. Another popular service offered at A Bit of Class Salon & Day Spa at World Equestrian Center is the Brazilian Blowout, which improves the overall condition of the hair by creating a protective protein layer around the hair shaft to eliminate frizz and smooth the cuticle (hello remedy to helmet hair!). The treatment takes about 90 minutes and lasts for up to 12 weeks.
As equestrians, we know how hard it is to keep our nails in good condition, especially at horse shows. Leather gloves and saddle soap tend to wear away at our hands and nails. A Bit of Class Salon & Day Spa has nail care covered, with countless nail options from an express manicure, to a spa pedicure, to gel polish. Countless colors fill the basket on the wall by the nail station, offering guests endless options to create their ideal look.
Further pampering is offered in the form of massages, facials, waxing and even eyelash extensions. Services range from “express” to “full service”, allowing equestrians to enjoy everything from an on-the-go 15 minute massage to a full 60 minute massage. The professionals at A Bit of Class Salon & Day Spa are experts in their respective areas, and can customize treatments based on a guest’s specific needs. Guests are even welcome to take a full day of relaxation by booking multiple services at a time.
