1. The Travel Doctor
There's no getting around it - traveling can be stressful. Generally the further you're going, the longer you're staying, and the less time you have to prepare is directly correlated with the level of mess you can become in the prep process. Add…More »
2. Inner Waves Centre for Well-Being
At a point in my life where my body was completely befuddled (three massages in a single week did nothing to reduce the tension held in my shoulder and back), I really was at a loss for what to do. Luckily I was pointed toward Dr. Desneiges who I say…More »
3. Life Salonspa
I've only ever had a single haircut at Life. Right after one of their stylists won 'Best Of' in The Coast, I immediately booked and figured it would be a revolutionary appointment that would change my hair forever.
Hey - I was fickle and optimistic…More »
4. Thumpers Salon
Okay. I get it. I have boy hair thus my quest for a proper hair stylist shouldn't be that hard, right? Well, that could be the case if I weren't of Acadian descent and therefore quickly fall victim to the unruly thick head of hair that I've been…More »
5. Interlude Spa
I've always liked the Interlude especially for the fact that it spawned one of the best blocks in downtown Dartmouth, now boasting Two If By Sea and Nectar all in one wonderful row! You can even order off the Nectar menu while at the spa and have it…More »
6. Béo
After losing yet another massage therapist to maternity leave (god, you people are selfish), I popped by Béo to undo the damage of being on 20 hours of airplanes and 14 hours of airports over the course of two days. Even though I limped in like a…More »

This spa is sort of like a spin-off series of the Interlude as it's the creation of several former… Read more »
7. Spirit Urban Spa
Halifax, NS B3J 0A1
(902) 431-8100
While it might be a little pricier than some other spas in the city, Spirit Spa knows what's what when it comes to relaxation, beauty, and pampering. Their staff always seem legitimately happy to see you and they really are the best of the best at…More »
8. HS Studio Salonspa
HS Studio is a classy beautification basecamp just across the street from Halifax Shopping Centre. It's packed with talented, friendly stylists and thanks to their chain status (HS Studio is the elevated sister brand to the Head Shoppe) they've got…More »
9. Shoppers Drug Mart
I actually hate coming to this Shoppers and I'll tell you why...the cosmetics department. You have to walk past it to get in the store and no matter what, they give you the opposite of what you're looking for.
If you have no interest in cosmetics,…More »
10. Daniel's Tailor Shop
Halifax, NS B3J 1G5
(902) 423-6330
Categories:
Dry Cleaning & Laundry,
Sewing & Alterations
I don't always agree with all of the Best Ofs in The Coast, but Daniel's Tailoring Shop is a well-deserved long-standing winner of the tailoring category. I'm actually a little bit shocked that it hadn't been reviewed yet when I dropped off a couple…More »
11. Portland Dental Associates
This is where I go to the dentist. And he's a fine dentist. He's very knowledgeable, dedicated, and enthusiastic about everything happening in the mouth region. Beyond that, I'm really not sure how one measures satisfaction in a dentist. I mean, he…More »
12. Super Natural Health Products
Full disclosure: when I walk into Super Natural, I tend to just keep on walking past all the health foods until I get to the gelato, cheese and Skor Bar lattes at Humani-T. You guys can keep your supplements, I'll be just fine over there by myself.
