Our Story
An oasis for the beautiful sides of life
With this guiding principle the new Aveda Lifestyle Salon & Spa Terranova Casa Organica opened its doors in May 2014 in Schaffhausen in the pedestrian zone. The salon & spa, which shines in all shades of green and earth colors, extends over 280 m² in the heart of the city – an extraordinary place that invites you to rest from head to toe and take a break from your everyday life. A special highlight: the integrated organic café. As soon as you enter the salon & spa, the guest is welcomed by the Aveda aromas and can immerse himself in the world of Terranova Casa Organica. Here Giancarlo Terranova – owner of the salon – and his highly qualified team would like to underline natural beauty.
Craftsmanship and relaxation
Our stylists and colorists understand the craftsmanship of haircutting and coloring as their passion, so that haircuts and colorations combine individuality, class and style. At eleven styling stations, four color stations and four washing stations with integrated massage function, the team makes time for the guest. A look at the individual type, the selection of the right cut and matches Aveda hair color from up to 96% herbal ingredients, which is gentle to the hair and at the same time delivers brilliant results. A relaxing hand and head/neck massage and a make-up touch-up round off the hairdressing experience
In addition to the salon area, the modern spa offers guests even more space to relax. In three treatment rooms, guests can be pampered from head to toe with soothing facial and body treatments. The extensive range of treatments offers relaxation, peace, security and a retreat from everyday life at the highest level. On the basis of a questionnaire before each treatment, the individual needs of the guest are determined, in order to bring the five elements infinity, air, fire, water and earth in alignment. With the help of a sensory journey, based on essential oils and a relaxing footbath, inner calm returns to enjoy the following treatment to the full. In addition, medical and sports massages are offered.
The world of Aveda
Only Aveda products are used in the salon and spa rooms, which touch the senses with their pure flower and plant essences and ensure holistic well-being. In the retail area, which is located at the entrance and is a generous eye-catcher thanks to a green wall, guests can discover the aroma world of Aveda by trying out all Aveda products and receiving in-depth advice on hair, skin and make-up.
In the interior, particular emphasis was placed on the use of environmentally friendly materials in order to anchor Aveda's basic idea of ‘treating the environment with care and respect’: all the plastics used are made from recycled PET. The aluminium and copper used are also made from recycled metals. The wood used is exclusively FSC-certified and comes from the region. Terranova Casa Organica relies on water and wind energy (CleanSolution from SHPower) for its energy requirements. Finally, textiles made from plant fibres with softeners from plant oil seeds are used - these textiles are also compostable.
