One treatment room, at the back of a hair studio, in 2014.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Solace & Steam began as a single treatment room behind a Woolloongabba hair studio. The rooms came first \u2014 bodywork, then skin \u2014 and the hair side of the business grew to match, rather than the other way round.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Nobody here is paid on commission, hair or treatments. Fifteen minutes of slack is built into every booking, so nothing overruns onto the next person. Robes and a quiet room come with every treatment over an hour, and nobody is moved along.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
