Treating Your Body Right In Toronto

Here's a quick list of my favourite spa services in the city - I frequent these at least once a month for beauty maintenance stuff as well as personal well-being! Highly recommended. Waxing (Civello), Threading (Indo Canada), Massage (Bodyworks), Mani/Pedis (Four Seasons). Now go beautify yourself!

Does your esthetician have amazing skin, a personality that just dances with effervescence, incredible taste in decor and music, AND a magic touch that can erase every iota of worry from your skin? Oh, sorry - mine does.

But I love sharing, so sit…More »

Let's be honest, who enjoys completely disrobing in front of a total stranger -- who almost certainly has way less body hair than you do -- and then enduring up to an hour of hot wax and hair tugging? I'd reckon next to no one looks forward to their…More »

Update - 1/29/2010

At most salons, the person that washes your hair is someone who one day aspires to be stylist or colourist, and eventually "graduates" to a higher position within the salon.

Well, I hope Michael "fails" his evaluation and is never promoted.

Because if…More »

Like the Queen Street location, Civello Rosedale is pretty swank and attracts sophisticated clientele, but still manages to be relatively affordable and results in a wonderful experience each time.

This location in particular might be the most…More »

If you want to walk out of a salon with impeccably threaded/shaped eyebrows, don't bother going anywhere but Indo Canada. It's quite a trek if you live anywhere but the west end, but it's easily accessible by TTC (take the 37 bus from Islington…More »

I stumbled upon this place while coming back from a doctor's appointment and I'm so glad I did. Tucked away just steps away from Royal York subway in Etobicoke, Four Seasons (not affiliated with the hotel chain) is an amazing nail bar.

The problem with "walk-in only" salons is that the wait is always rather grueling. There were only four technicians working and at least six people waiting at all times, with many more ladies popping in to ask about the wait. Considering nearly…More »

Now that I've actually washed and styled my hair a number of times I can adequately assess the haircut I received from highly-recommended stylist Brionie.
