Toronto, ON M5V 2M5

4.0 star rating
  Update - 2/18/2012

Although, I have only been to see Leslie a handful of times, she was one of the best estheticians I've ever had.

For a while she's been working part time, for a variety of reasons, and despite not taking on new clients, it's impressive that the spa…More »

I find that I still love coming here even though I don't go to RMTs as often as I should. I tend to use up all my benefits before the 6 month mark.

I love the professionalism here, and although not a spa, you still feel relaxed and comfy.
I've had 3…More »

This one is really 4.5.
I can only speak for the massage I got here. I did get a blow dry here a long time ago, and it was okay, but today, I got one of the best massage ever. Probably 2nd best ... ever.

I quite liked Shizen. I've been here twice (once for a bachelorette, and once on my own) and both positive experiences.
I like the lounge, with the tall ceilings, and the whirlpool. I agree with the last reviewer, and it was luke warm unfortunately.…More »

Came here for an eyebrow waxing - one of the few places I can trust, and has decent pricing $15.

I love their online booking system - where I didn't have to feel uncomfy asking for an appointment when everyone can hear me at work.  The next day, they…More »

I came here again upon an invitation by the owner via VM to get a facial for a discount to see if my experience would be better. Unfortunately, my review remains the same, for many reasons....

I come to Pure and Simple when my regular esthetician isn't available.  I like their all natural products, and how they specialize in face care only.
