I'm amazed no one else to date has written a review of this hair salon!…read more Studio Unik is locally owned by an extremely talented young woman who started up the business years ago when she was about 20, and it's grown into a very profitable business. All the hair stylists there are very skilled, wonderfully friendly and personal, and speak both English and French depending on your preference. I've been to different hair salons, charging prices ranging from $15 to $60, and though Studio Unik's hair cuts (with shampooing and dry styling) are only about $20-$25, this is the best place I've been to with a much higher quality than the price may imply. I've had my hair cut by several of the stylers there, and they're all meticulous, take great care when shaping your hair, and make sure that the end result looks great and professional. I found they're excellent at understanding precisely what you're asking for, and have the intuition of quality and experienced hair stylers. Also, an appointment is not usually necessary except in busy season (particularly, since it's located in a university and Cegep town, busy season is near graduation or prom time), or if you want a specific hair styler.

Lovely handmade soap & personal care products. Everything is all natural and especially good for…read morepeople with sensitive skin. They're made in store in the basement and you can see a live feed of soapmakers working the products. The clerk was super friendly and kind to explain everything to us and even offered to help us take a souvenir photo in the shop. Soaps are made with beeswax, glycerin and olive oil infused with herbs and plant extracts. The soaps are only scented by the natural products in the bar. They also have all natural deodorant pastes and sticks, candles and hair soaps. Some of the scrubs and deodorants have testers you can try out. You can try the soaps in a small sink in the shop or in the bathroom. A nice little shop for quality souvenirs that you can use.

This is the second time we tried going there, and lucky for us, they were opened…read more The good: Lots of choices with great smells. Lots of variants of products (soaps, laundry soap, bath bombs, creams, etc.) Owner took time to explain to us, in English, the process of the soaps. Lots of space in the shop. Prices are reasonable for these kind of products. Promotion of " Spend this much and get this many soaps " actually worth it. Samples of soaps given in our bags. Huge parking lot. The bad: The smell of the place can be overwhelming for people who are smell sensitive. Prices can look expensive for some. Place can get busy, very quick (we were by ourselves in the shop, but as we left, three cars pulled back-to-back in parking lot). Can be missed if you drive at a quick speed on the road going to the abbey. Covid restrictions: Masks obligatory. Hand sanitizer at entrance. Cannot say anything about social distancing as we were by ourselves, but owner made an effort to stay distanced from us. Plexi glass at cash. Thee we experience was great and we started using the products last night (bath salt that, surprise, had a small bottle of essential oil in it). We will definitely go back as we often go to Magog.

Relaxing here was a wonderful experience from start to finish! I called a day ahead to make a…read moremassage appointment and reserve an arrival time. The person I spoke with was very nice and helpful and fluent in English and French. She reviewed the rules and explained what we would need to bring, took my payment information, and sent a confirmation email. The spa was easy to find along the main road, and had ample free parking in front of the building. When we checked in, I showed the email at the registration desk and everything went smoothly. The staff member gave me flip flops to wear and keep, and a locker key attached to a wristband. She gave us an orientation and pointed out the different spa areas. Complementary caffeinate-free herbal tea was available and it was delicious! The facility is clean and beautiful, with views of the river and surrounding hills. We loved soaking in the hot water pools and then doing a quick plunge in the cold pool, followed by resting in the super comfortable hammocks. My massage therapist was attentive and skilled. We would love the opportunity to come here again!

Everything was clean, well maintained, and thoughtfully designed. The massage was one of the best I've ever had--highly skilled and incredibly relaxing. The eucalyptus steam room was especially sublime and a highlight of the day. Even with a 3-hour drive, it was absolutely worth the trip. I'd definitely go back.

My initial thought was that I needed a map - I did ask the front reception to explain the layout yet it wasn't as intuitive as I had hoped. The saunas were nice and everyone followed the rules of silence. The outdoor spas were nice as well. The paths were cold yet the temp was pretty chilly. The massage was solid and I had no complaints. My only frustration is that I didn't know all the areas to explore so I guessed as well as asked some folks. Others didn't seem to know where stuff was either. Check out was easy and seamless.
