Ok so not the best decor on the planet and not sure how I feel about sitting in my robe in a second…read morewaiting lounge with other robed ladies (never experienced that before and it's kind of weird). Once you get past all that, the spa is great simply because of the variety of services they offer. Any place that uses Dermalogica is on the right track. I only had a little bit of time to devote to a spa so I just went in for a facial. My therapist was seriously amazing. On top of being a great aesthetician, she was really professional yet fun to talk to. Usually I hate being quiet in spas (I know, I'm weird) and she was great about it. She let me start the conversations so that if I wanted to just be quiet and relax, I could have been. Very tactful! So despite the lacklustre decor and ambience, I will give it 5 stars just for the range of services and excellent therapists (from my visit anyway). With 12 options for a facial, a plastic surgeon on call and hydrotherapy on the menu, it's hard to find a comparable spa in Ottawa.

Great SPA. Really felt like she was there for me, asking if the pressure was ok for me, making sure…read morethat her massage therapy met my expectations. As I expected to be greeted by a smiling staff, followed by a soft relaxing massage, that would make my day brighter. I left with a smile, and a thought that this is a SPA that I will visit again. And I did. The female therapist that provided the service, has a first name that starts with an 'A', so my review is really about this therapist, in this SPA. But the cleanliness and the caring applies to the entire SPA.

I met Registered Massage Therapist, Melanie Ransum, at VegFest 2013-- a festival with…read morevegetarian/vegan vendors and such. She told me about her location and mentioned her use of 100% vegan products in her massage practise. I recently had an injury with my back and so called her the following day for an appointment, that we scheduled later in the day. Her home and office is located just off the 417 on Maitland Avenue. It was very easy to find. I entered her office around the back, and I can say that her space is very clean, calming, quiet, sanitary, and neat. I filled out a medical history form and detailed my injury to her. Her massage table was extraordinarily comfortable and she had a heating pad that she placed over my legs, which felt divine! What I particularly liked about the massage was the way in which Melanie communicated with me through out the hour, checking in every so often to be sure I was getting the most out of the experience. When the massage was complete, she showed me how to do some stretches that would be compatible with my injury. She is a very sweet and professional person who really takes care in her practise and loves what she does. I would most definitely revisit Melanie and I would strongly recommend her if you are looking for some relaxation or healing. Her prices are VERY reasonable for the services she provides.

Her home is right on Maitland ave, and there is parking on the driveway. Her main office is in the basement of the house. The room and table were very clean. She had some great relaxation music on. The massage itself was really good. She constantly kept checking with me if the pressure was fine throughout the session. She used a heating pad for the legs while she was working the upper body, which felt amazing. I believe she used sunflower oil/cream for the massage. Overall, Melanie is a great therapist. I will definitely go back to her.

The only slight annoyance was whenever the music stopped or slowed down you could hear people in the hallway chatting and moving about- Im not sure but I think there's a gap between the walls and the ceiling that allows some noise in. All in all a minor issue. I will go back because I appreciated the service by everyone I met and I felt wonderful after my treatments!

The salon is also so beautiful and very clean, I can tell a lot of effort and thought went into the design process. It's gorgeous!

I'm disappointed they haven't claimed their business on Yelp yet…read more I found this place by doing a simple search in the area when I was running errands at Home Depot. Stunned at how lucky I was to find this place! Great location, wonderful separate building, very spacious and lavish. They were able to get me in immediately for a pedicure and I must say, it was one of the best pedicures I have ever received. The gentleman who performed my pedicure took his time and did a wonderful job and didn't rush with the massage or steam towels. I would highly recommend and will only use this place for my spa needs as I just recently moved here from B.C. so I am very, very happy that I've found this place. Also, the prices are very reasonable, not pricey at all, IMO.
