I booked an appointment online and it was accepted. I did not get an email stating it was cancelled…read moreor declined. I then went to the appointment only to have the office closed and no one on site. It is not conveniently located and the parking is sparce (across from police station). I called to tell her I could not find the location (as it is in an apartment building and I could not see any business sign and did not think it was going to be in a place where people live. I left a message and did not get a response back. Then when I realized it was closed I called again (very polite) and left another message. The door had a different phone # on it so I called that one also but it is not working (should be taken down). I then contacted her again at a later date to find out what was happening as it was a Groupon I was trying to use before it expired and NOT a word. TERRIBLE waste of my time and customer service, never again would I see this person/company.

I just finished my six treatment at this clinic and honestly, I cannot complain. The prices are…read moreextremely reasonable. Every appointment that I have had has been amazing. If you go before 5 PM, you usually do not have to wait since everyone is still at school and work. This clinic is situated inside the Rideau Centre. There is not much free parking since it is right beside the University of Ottawa. You will have to pay for parking but is transportation friendly. Usually the person who greets you at the front is the person who will be with you for that day. The service is always friendly. There are numerous deals from laser, Botox. filler and serums for the body.

I've been to Daya Spa twice…read more It has cute decor, and a very relaxing atmosphere, for both the waiting area and the rooms. The first time at Daya Spa, I booked a massage with the rmt there. I was happy she gave me the full 50min massage, even though I arrived about 10 min late. Ali was friendly and listened carefully to me, and so I felt comfortable speaking to her about my pain areas. I liked the fact that she knew how to release my knots, and gave me the strong pressure I needed. I did find that the oils or lotions she used would dry up too quickly, and it would cause her to not glide as easily into my muscles. Ali gave some great advice after my massage was over, she made me feel like she really cared about my wellbeing-- she has customer service down to a tee! My second time there, I went in for a reflexology appointment. Olena was SO good. I loved how relaxed she made me feel, from her soothing voice to the gentleness she used whether she was covering my feet or slowly adding pressure. I would even doze off every now and then due to how heavenly it felt. The only thing that makes me not give Daya Spa 5 stars is the following: I found the front staff a bit cold, not very hospitable both times. Not much eye contact, and no greeting when one walks in-- makes for an awkward and not very welcoming entrance. The front desk lady did offer to get me some water; however, but did not lead me to the sitting area or explain to me that I should change out of my shoes into the warm slippers the spa provides.

As this spot is in my neighbourhood, I popped in here sans appointment for a massage/pedicure last…read moreweek. A 50 minute massage ran me over $110 with tax and tip and the pedicure likewise $75. That's a hefty bill even for an organic spa. I heard the staff mentioning that prices had recently changed but wow... Pedicure: lots of salves, scrubs, emollients were provided and I was allowed to pick my scent of sea salt. Pedicure space is a cool concept for 3-4 people wanting to go together as seating is on a raised bleacher style bench that you clamour up on. For me, this killed a bit of the relaxation component. Most little asian nail spots have massage chairs and charge $40 is all I'm saying... I love the leg massage portion of a pedicure and this one was about a 3/10 ie: weak and not long lasting. Polish was applied neatly although I was ushered out to the waiting room as soon as my pedicure was completed which caused a bit of a smudge. Massage: In a word: heavenly. Also quite pricy and what's with this 50 minute business? A $96 (or whatever it comes to after tax w/o tip) should really last an hour. It's not like you're applying copious amount of extra oil in that last 10 minutes and need to recoup losses. I was a bit bummed when I remembered to mention an area of soreness and was told we could get to that next time... At $110 a pop, I dunno how often I can afford to be heading for these rub downs. Overall, a lovely space and friendly staff but the price is steep enough to keep this local hunting for another go to spa.

One of the most overpriced and terrible nail salons i have ever been to!…read moreI had been here 4 days ago for a shellac manicure and pedicure. They charge 187$ for the same which is approximately 2x the normal price for these services. The price would be justified had the experience been good. But after 2nd day the shellac started peeling off and today the nails have started to break as the girl who did my nails- "Harriet" wasn't good in her job. If you see the pictures you can figure how shabbily the nails are painted! This is totally terrible and unacceptable when you charge so much and don't have people who know how to do a job well. One the most horrible experiences i have had! Completely overpriced and overrated and terrible customer service. I called several times but no one bothered to respond or call back! Highly disappointed.
