Brenna was super friendly and amazing!…read more I wanted to get my eyebrows shaped for my wedding and she did a phenomenal job. She was very informative with every step she took to make my brows look amazing. My makeup artist the day of the wedding asked me where I got them done because they looked so good. The place was very inviting and clean. The lady who took the payment was also very nice! The prices are very reasonable. It's also so easy to book an appointment on their website. Prices are listed online too so it's no surprise. I highly recommend Nova Wax Bar! I will definitely be a returning customer.

I was only in Ottawa for a limited time and wanted a great massage. However, I read a lot of…read morereviews that were less than favorable about a lot of places in town. Then I found this place and all the reviews were great, which made me a little suspicious. However, I discovered that these reviews for here were true. This is a no games, no funny-business place. Anna was my masseuse and did a fantastic job. She was not only respectful and professional but her technique was incredible. This was the best massage I've had in a long time. Additionally, the receptionist was sweet and friendly, and the place was very clean. I will definitely return if I'm ever in Ottawa. Enjoy!

As part of our stay last August we ventured to their on site spa Koena…read more Okay so a bonus...because we were staying at the Chateau Cartier hotel ...we only had to pay once to get into the spa!!! We were given wrist bands that allowed us to have in and out privileges for our two night stay Totally amazing!!! We went twice during the day and at night Night is definitely busier vibe so heads up We went early morning and if you want a more chill vibe ...then go during this time We really took in the spa this time hitting the salt room Soooo relaxing in there We did some saunas and hot tubs and steam rooms My hubby did a few rituals to sweat it out and did the salt scrub as well Overall the price and quality are soooo worth it and I totally want to come back again here!!!

We went a week again to Koena while staying at the Chateau Cartier…read more Our second time visiting We decided just to use the pools saunas and steam rooms Super super cheap...$49 for the whole day and $39 at night ...and because we were hotel guests we had in/out privileges for our entire stay!!! We enjoyed the hot tubs, steam rooms, saunas and the salt room I did two rituals in the sauna and completely survived them on both occasions The staff there are super chill and friendly We ended up eating at the bistro as well for dinner one evening Food is super good We had the med bowl, hummus board and I had the turkey croissant sandwich The quality there is more than what they charge...smaller than somewhere like Thermea but totally worth it Of note....expect it to be busy in the evenings That's their busy time and I can only imagine what it's like on weekends We will definitely come back to this gem of a spa that we found

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.

I had an interesting experience here. Hubby and I attended a couples massage class and it really…read morewas not what I was expecting, but still good. This led to an overall wellness assessment which showed me how many issues I have with my body, but unfortunately I could not go forward with any treatments as it was just not in our budget at that time. The staff did give me a few pointers for adjustments I could make at home to help improve my health. Back to the couples massage class. It was an acupressure massage class where the instructor showed us how to pin-point and treat pain on our partner. While the treatments were effective, they were not the relaxing pain-release massage I had been hoping for - still very useful. My favourite part of the experience was the instructor: she LOVES her job, and genuinely wants to help her students and patients.
