• HOW IT STARTED...

  In 2005 we opened the first soap treatment store in down town Amsterdam with a completely new set-up of the traditional beauty salon & store. The innovative treatments, the extended opening hours, the top service and the beautiful interior soon turned out to be a great success. The second store, in the more chique Amsterdam South area, was soon opened afterwards. In addition to Amsterdam, there are now also soap treatment stores in The Hague, Rotterdam, Eindhoven, Utrecht and Haarlem. Here you can go daily from 9 am to 9 pm for facials, manicure, pedicure, waxing, massage and other top-level beauty treatments and products. With every treatment and for every client, we always focus on the best possible results. And relaxation and pampering? We believe that’s a logical service that everyone can expect from us.

  DOCTORS AT SOAP

  In 2013 the cosmetic clinics, doctors at soap, were added. We made the medical-cosmetic treatment accessible to everyone: long opening hours, affordable, easy to book and free consultations. And with a team of top cosmetic doctors, all trained internally to work according to our own no trace face® techniques: you should never look treated, but you should look fresher, younger and more rested. Skin therapy is now also an important part of doctors at soap. A team of high educated and certified skin therapists in combination with the best laser equipment and skin improvement products can effectively treat any skin concern and excess hair.

  SOAP RECOMMENDS

  We launched our soap recommends skin care product line in 2016. Our own skin care recipes with a feel good touch and often provided with our unique heaven scent fragrance, composed in the South of France.

  SOAP FOUNDATION

  We had built up a nice network with fantastic clients, soap specialists, influencers, beauty press, ambassadors and suppliers and also wanted to "give back". In 2018 we launched soap foundation in collaboration with AROSA, a governmental non profit organization for vulnerable women, men and children offering them protected sheltered homes. We agree on beauty should not be a luxury, so we collect unopened beauty products and personally deliver them to these homes all over the Netherlands. Everytime we see that a moment of self care with a nice beauty product really boosts your self-confidence.
