Granted, I have nothing to compare it to, but I did bring with me a seasoned "spa pro", and she also said CaVaBien was fantastic. Very classy spa, with a fireplace and cozy seating. The changeroom was very clean, warm, and the sauna is a nice touch. I loved the smell of the products that were used on my face, and that's rare cuz I hate most scented stuff. I came out of there feeling refreshed and looking at least 5 years younger! P.S. - since I can only leave one review for each place, a quick shout-out to the girls who have done my hair over the years at CaVaBien! Best salon in town!

I booked my appointment through their on-line system and it was beyond easy, got an email instantly and confirmed my appointment. I arrived to my appointment 10 mins early and this wasn't a problem at all. I was greeted as soon as i walked in the door and was told that Kelsey would be with me shortly. The only down side is that there is only 2 chairs in the waiting area and another customer decided she needed the other chair for her purse and coat. However I didn't need to sit down to wait because Kelsey was out to greet me. She took me back and got me set up for my pedicure. She was very professional and even when I told her that my feet are ridiculously ticklish she just smiled and said not a problem. This store is extremely clean, the staff are friendly and professional and to top it all off I got to keep the bottle of nail polish! So happy that this place is close to home so I don't have to make the trek downtown anymore. Can't wait to book another appointment with these great ladies!

Parking is available to the side of the building and back, few spots in the front but I believe those are for expecting mothers. They offer a bevvie at the door, and smiles galore. Ever had long hour hair appointments where you find yourself staring into void space and dozing off? Shag is upbeat, the atmosphere is sleek with lots of eye candy, art on the walls and good beats. Magazines galore and WIFI to boot! There's also a communal table in the center of the work area which is great for socializing, and not having to be confined to your chair. I love it! More importantly is the craft that's going on in this busy hive. I have dark hard-to-dye hair, and if you have dark hair, you'll know where I'm coming from. Keeping a lighter shade of hair is an absolute nightmare, having to lift the roots and then color, and then match up the two over laps. I came in to have my roots colored, and expecting to have over dyed ends AGAIN, I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't need the rest of my hair dyed. Karissa is a master of her craft, and checked on me very frequently just to get the color right. I haven't gotten a cut yet, but that'll be my anticipated visit. The color set me back $60 and came with conditioning and style - just right as I was heading out that night. Reasonable, and moreso because I was so delighted with how well it turned out. Definately making this my go to salon, and recommending this place. You shag, I shag, we all should shag!

I wasn't sure what we could do since my hair was bleach blonde dyed black on the roots, but Kelsey went above and beyond and got my blonde back in one session.

The atmosphere in here is great and everyone is super friendly!

I started coming to this spot back when it was a quaint little 4 room service spa…read more Now it's got plentiful more rooms, enough staff to serve a kingdom and way more services I'd like to try...when I win the lotto. It's a full service spa, you get a locker with robe, slippers and sauna access. No pool. Single vanity area with hair dryer, q-tips, hair ties, etc. Bring your own brush. I'll review what I have tried: Facials - man, no one does it better. They tuck you into an electronically warmed blanket. I like my facials to really do the nitty gritty, get all my pores cleansed and tightened. This means extractions. And if you have no idea what extractions are like, well maybe you don't want to. If you do, you'll know how tedious and painful it can be. Well S.E.S has it down to an art. They have special tools for extractions that they constantly clean. I know this because they constantly spray down their tools with alcohol. I can hear it and smell it while in between being in pain. They exfoliate - steam - extract - cleanse - mask - tone. The whole shebang and they don't even charge you extra like some other places. In between waiting times while your face is soaking up the mask? They massage your hands. Body scrub - pretty neat concept and makes your whole body feel like you just came from the womb. Seriously. The only thing that stops me from getting this service more often is the fact that I have to lay there naked while two women scrub me all over while I am laying in an open capsule. After the scrub they close the capsule (head outside) and the water jets spray you down. There's a good resting period where it warms up like a sauna and you are totally encased in a good steam. There's light therapy that goes on so your body is illuminated in techno colored lights. The whole techie capsule thing is quite the experience. Weight loss - yes. I tried it. I could only bring myself to try it a handful of times. Hard to explain, they offer target area treatments, and hook a massage device up to a machine. There's light therapy added to the rolling device that they use and treat your choice of area for x amount of time. They log your measurements after every session. I effectively lost an inch (no I am not going to disclose where) but of course gained it all back in three fold. Not my fault they are across from a DQ. Massage - I've never heard of lumbar. I've never heard of pressure point massages. All I know is that it works and I always feel great afterwards. I'll leave it up to them to explain the sorcery behind all of that, but I will tell you that I can never stay away through a whole session. They won't make small talk if you don't want to. I love it. Yes, they do insurance claims. Eyelash extensions - no, they aren't advertising much of this like other places. I'm guessing because they are so extremely booked for extensions they don't need to. Natural looking, yup. Longer fuller doll looking, yup. The technician who is also the owner, Sandy has been doing this before all the lash places became a thing. Why she never got recognition as one of the first people in Calgary to be doing extensions is beyond me. She knows her stuff. Perfect set all the time. Parking is situated at the back, through the alley. It shares a small lot with the condos upstairs and another spa right next door (I don't understand this). You can enter from the back by ringing the doorbell. There's also street parking, free on the weekends. Review #4 of Yelp's 30 Day Challenge 2012

Quick summary: Sandy at European Spa performed my facial three weeks ago and I have permanent…read morescaring on my cheeks from her overly deep extractions! I would not recommend this place to anyone. I had clear, acne-free skin without any scars prior to my visit. I am deeply disappointed. My experience: I frequent a different salon on a regular basis and never experienced scarring before. My skin was clear before my facial at European Spa and now I'm waiting for a visit to my dermatologist to hopefully remove the extraction scars. I have since cancelled future appointments and informed them of the situation, where I was not offered any solutions. During the facial, I noticed it was more painful than my regular visits with my other spa. Sandy even warned me that the next couple of extractions were going to be painful since they were deep. When the facial was finished, my face had many blood spots and was very red. I thought the dark spots would go away within a couple weeks, but it has now been three weeks and my scaring is permanent. After further research, I've since learned "extractions are a good way to rid your skin of blackheads -- not whiteheads -- but don't let the aesthetician go too deep. A good practitioner will back away from anything not coming out easily." In sum, I do not recommend European Spa for facials.
