I've been to Daya Spa twice. 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. read more

As this spot is in my neighbourhood, I popped in here sans appointment for a massage/pedicure last week. 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. read more

Bought my father a gift card here for Father's Day. The woman helping me was very sweet and just as excited as I was! Turns out you don't technically buy them a specific treatment certificate or something but you can get the exact amount of the service put on a gift card- debit style. I picked the organic manicure for my dad because he puts the MAN in manicure and deserves it! It came to 45ish dollars and was wrapped in an gorgeous, light blue, oragami-like envelope. It can even double as an envelope with the card! Wish I looked around more but they seemed to have a lot of interesting products. The front area is small and set apart from the actual spa section which must be good for keeping the relaxing vibe going back there. I'll have to get my dad to join Yelp so he can tell you how it goes! read more

Great place , awesome massages . My only complaint was , when I came to purchase a massage package for a friend and noticed they had cosmetics I wanted to buy that as well . However when reading about the " cruelty free " cosmetics I came to find out many things I didn't like and the selection was bleak . Also the person In charge of makeup had not enough knowledge . I'm sure she's an amazing aesthetician , however she always seems like she's to busy to talk or can't be bothered to help . For this I wouldn't recommend this place. If they did change who they had in charge of makeup and was more helpful I'd go back because this place is beautiful. read more

Tried out their pedicure special. Coconut lime foot scrub with a honeydew lotion massage. The nail polish they use is as organic as they can find (for professionals) it doesn't have any formaldehyde. Atmostphere is natural, relaxing and very casual. Staff are extremely friendly and down to earth. I was excited to find out they carry the Eminence line, an organic, homemade line from Hungary... great stuff! I'm going to book a facial next and see how that goes. read more

Daya is easily the best place to get any kind of spa service in Ottawa. The atmosphere is lovely, the staff is always really friendly and knowledgeable, and the services are wonderful. I've tried most of the spas in town that offer services with organic products and they are by far the best. (Most of the organic spas in Ottawa use Eminence, but I found that the staff at Daya are the ones who actually provide the best and most customized service using those products). My face and skin always feel so clean and so picked up after I go there. They also carry a great makeup line! I've been totally spoiled by Daya and wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

The Ladies proving the service were professional and friendly. The technical who work on me, Olena was amazing. My massage therapist Ali was really good. Olena was very good with my skin care + excellent Spa Manicure and Pedicure. My experience was amazing and definitely relaxing. Great spa. Thank you for a wonderful day!I read more
