A Brighton entrepreneur who started her first business in her spare room and now runs an international beauty brand is opening her first spa in West Street next month.
Daisy Kalnina has taken on the lease of the old TSB building on the corner of Duke Street where she will be opening TGB Spa.

The unit is now also the headquarters of her nail gel polish company The Gel Bottle, which supplies tens of thousands of salons worldwide.
The spa will offer nail, hair and lash beauty treatments.
Ms Kalnina started her first nail business from her spare room in Brighton in 2012.
The Gel Bottle has applied to Brighton and Hove City Council to install signage at the building, on the corner of Duke Street. The application is yet to be decided.

Well I for one wish him every success. It’s not cheap taking over an old bank and it certainly improves the look of the failing high street when someone takes on such a venture. Good luck.
Her.
It’s a woman that has this business. It says so in the article.
When someone says the word “spa” the things that come to mind are a pool, hot tub, sauna & steam… not sitting in an old bank getting your nails done lol. So that was a disappointing read but I wish her all the best!
I certainly was thinking that too! I think near Black Rock would be an excellent place for a Turkish Bathhouse. Maybe with a Social Sunday charitable element where some who are struggling can also partake? Bit of a pipedream, I guess!
Still, always nice to see new ventures, and wish them the best.
There is always the Bristol Gardens Health spa ?
Good luck to the new venture, it’s likely to appeal big time to the numerous hen parties who do a weekend in Brighton. But..but… it’s West Street… so it’ll be inevitably plagued by drunks, junkies, dossers sleeping in the doorway, and streams of wee on the pavement outside. Maybe a spa would do better in Kemptown where it could also appeal to the gay lobby who go for that kind of thing.
Kemp town is filled with homeless smack heads. It’s a dive and just full of gay men. This place is cashless so I won’t be going back. It’s also not luxury at all. Hate the way they throw that word around. Nothing about it is luxury!
Good luck but I agree with leapy Leigh, it won’t be long before the scum taggers destroy the building with spray paint to make a lovely building look like the rest of the city they like to ruin. Depressing.
