Aqua Spa - Jenny Pillay

Brief overview: Jenny Pillay recently opened and established the Aqua Spa at the Square Boutique Hotel, in Umhlanga. The Spa has been tastefully designed offering a variety of treatments and within a short space of time has become very popular with the local residents as well as out-of-towners.

Prior to this, Jenny practiced law for the past 20 years with her husband Vejan Pillay under the name and style Vejan Pillay and Company.

The change from the legal profession to the beauty industry was sudden and unexpected.

Aqua Spa is situated at The Square Boutique Hotel which was developed by Jenny and her husband. As they were unable to find a suitable operator or management to run the spa, Jenny opted to take on this challenge herself.

This challenge was even more daunting taking into account they had no previous experience in this field. However, Jenny was able to utilise her business and marketing skills to ensure the Aqua Spa started and has continued to thrive as a successful and well established business. Although Jenny was very happy in her legal profession, the move to the beauty and spa industry has been most interesting and exciting challenge for her and she has made it a priority to educate herself about the industry and the multitude of products.
