Balance Spa Opens in New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS, LA, March 28, 2006. Balance Management Corporation is pleased to announce the opening of its newest location - Balance Spa & Salon French Quarter located at 536 Bienville Street in New Orleans, LA.
Formerly known as Eclipse Salon and Spa, the location has been a successful salon and spa for the past several years owned previously by Sophia and Scott Griffies.
Services include a full-service hair salon, massages, facials, manicures, and pedicures.
The spa is luxurious in the New Orleans tradition, encompasses two floors and has a beautiful garden for relaxation and a full locker room and steam room.
Balance currently operates a spa and fitness center at the Loews New Orleans Hotel. Robert Cochran, General Manager of the French Quarter location says, "The acquisition of Eclipse is a perfect match for Balance, the upscale but not uptight urban oasis." Sophia Griffies, the previous owner, says, "Bringing in Balance to open their second location made perfect sense for us.
Balance has a proven track record in the city and the ability to operate a first class spa and salon."
Balance Management Corporation specializes in the design, development, and management of spas and fitness centers for hotels and other large luxury living environments.

Balance is extremely excited to be a part of the revitalization of New Orleans," says Maack, Director Business Development, Balance Management Corporation.
