I had never gotten a Brazilian wax before, nor sugaring of any kind. I was convinced to try it…read moreafter reading and hearing the pros of sugaring. I stumbled upon Sugar Me Spa on Google and read some mixed reviews, but decided to give this place a try anyways. I booked my first Brazilian sugar appointment through their online booking service in April 2019 at the RH location. Jasmyne was my aesthetician, she made me feel comfortable and walked me through the process of my service. I left not knowing what the results should look and feel like, but now that I've gotten a bunch of Brazilian sugars done (with another business), I can confirm that my experience with Sugar Me Spa was not great. I still had a lot of hair that hadn't been "pulled" out by the sugar, but I thought that's how Brazilian waxes were as it was my first time receiving one. It looked like I had shaved quickly and didn't bother to go over a second time to get all the remaining hairs. It didn't bother me as I trusted the process and was planning to book with Sugar Me Spa again once time came. Their online booking was extremely inaccurate in regards to the times and/or dates available for services. I booked my second appointment, only to be texted that the establishment was closed during the time slot I had chosen and I had reschedule. I wasn't able to reschedule, so I cancelled it instead. I booked another appointment 1 month later (with Jasmyne as I already dealt with her my first time around), through the same online system. I received another text a week before my appointment stating Jasmyne was not working during the date and time I had chosen. I was offered different dates and times to reschedule, however, time was too tight to reschedule. I asked if another aesthetician could provide the service, to no avail. I rescheduled my appointment 1 month later (with Jasmyne) in August 2019, only to be texted that Jasmyne couldn't make it to work and was asked to reschedule again... Overall, over a span of 4 months, I went once with mediocre results. Their appointment booking service is extremely hectic and inconsistent.

The lady was very rough with my face. I told her, you don't have to use so much pressure for washing the face. I didn't say she used more strength than when I scrub my son's bathtub. So you get the idea... When she put cream on my face later, she pressed my nose so much it bled! Geez... Other than that, the towels were not clean. I didn't put on the robe because it was wet. The esthetician said it was not wet, they just washed it but the oil didn't come off. Eeew... They charge a very low price if you buy a package. Well, that's what you get. Cheap price, bad service.

I admire the staff's professionalism, knowledge, courtesy, kindness and, just their passion for what they do! Each month, I look forward to seeing their specials to try out different treatment at a discounted price. Every time I leave, I feel so relaxed and refreshed. Every session just gets better and better. Very thankful to the staff at Pure + Simple! Looking forward to gifting my friends and family with a session for the holidays coming up!

I decided to go with the classic Pure + Simple Facial which ended up being such a great choice. The service was about and hour and included multiple masks, moisturizers, face, neck & shoulder massages. I also opted for a skin peel add-on. I was also able to get a sample of their moisturizer before I left. A great plus point is the free parking! I'm so glad I don't have to drive downtown to a spa. Overall it was a great first experience, I'm so glad I went with Pure + Simple for my first facial!

While it's true, I've been told, that you can find a cheaper salon with the same quality, the chances of that happening is slim and it mostly depends on the technician you get. At Polished, you will ALWAYS get perfection so you are essentially paying for peace of mind. I don't mind paying a higher price when I know I'm going to walk out with nails that last 4 weeks and I feel 100% pampered/ amazing. Staff is amazing.

It's not easy for a guy to submit to hair removal procedures in sensitive areas…read more It's not easy for a guy to call a SPA or salon to ask if they do "Brazilian for men". It is not easy, especially that, until recently, almost none of these businesses clearly advertised such a service. A nudist for many years, I had to suffer shaving around my penis and testicles when a smooth down-under became fashionable in nudist villages, resorts, hotels, beaches, etc. The culture of "waxing and sugaring are a woman thing" no longer holds water. True, still very few women beauticians are brave enough to invade man's private parts for the purpose of man-scaping, but some younger generation of beauticians don't subscribe to that stigma. One such ladies, a unique lady in her field in my opinion, is R i t a . A young woman who really loves what she does, Rita has no hang-ups when it comes to dealing with men's genitalia. She treats those private parts as you would other members of the body: hands, shoulders, ears, etc. And, more importantly and rightfully so, she is proud of her results. I've been having my back, shoulders, underarms and Brazilian waxed regularly as I travel a lot, mainly to naturist establishments. The woman who waxed me was super professional, loved her work, and did a great job. But I found myself always trying to space out the treatment sessions. Now I know why: the pain of waxing. Waxing in some areas of the body feels like torture. Thankfully, once upon a time, a couple of months ago, my travel plans changed, and I needed to wax on a Monday and fly out on Tuesday. I discovered that my wonderful waxer didn't work on Mondays. I had no choice but to surf the web, in search of someone that inspires trust and who works on Monday. I talked to a couple of hair removal experts. The one I felt most comfortable with on the phone was Rita. And the rest is history. She doesn't use wax. She uses sugar. Here is what I discovered I was missing during all these years of shaving, then waxing: 1. The pain factor is almost non-existent with sugar compared to waxing. 2. Rita's the kind of person you enjoy speaking with, even when you're lying down naked, and she's applying hot paste on the most sensitive body parts. 3. She took away from me that "should I go do it today?" or "maybe next week" feeling, that I always had when I took a waxing appointment. 4. I now feel this is "a break that I need once a month; it's good for me", rather than the "it's a necessary painful evil" of waxing. 5. I can go anywhere right after I'm done, because I don't feel sticky like after waxing, and definitely my scrotum is not bleeding in my pants as it almost always did after waxing. For me, there's no looking back. I found the perfect set-up for my hair removal needs.

I will definitely be a repeat customer and highly recommend her service.

I normally don't write lengthy reviews for places I visit on yelp but my experience was so unique…read moreand wonderful, a yelp review was the LEAST I could do. Here's a little background: I am not a Toronto native, and flew into the city a mere 2 days after having my lips injected with Juvederm (from a doctor in Los Angeles). I noticed unsual swelling but was assured by the first nurse that it would go down. She was wrong. My lip was incredibly swollen and mis-shapen, and it was NOT getting any better. I knew I had to look into finding someone out here in Toronto to help me. I was on a mission to find a reputable plastic surgery office or any salon, for that matter, that offered injections in hopes that someone would know what they were doing and could help me. I called about 15 places. Leaving messages and talking to anyone I could . For the most part no one was of much help. Until I received a call from Shantelle! (the manager) of the New You spa. My prayers were answered, one of the nurses heard my voicemail and immediately put me in touch with Shantelle who made my situation an absolute priority, talking to me on the phone, and getting me in the room with one of her recommended nurses the NEXT DAY. She even came to meet me and help in every possible way. I can't tell you what a relief it was. Within a matter of hours I was in the office, given a few injections to undo the mess, and home. Heather was the nurse who was helping me, she tried everything in her power to alleviate the swelling and remove the existing filler. She was kind, professional, and knows her products! Within hours my lip was already looking better and was at such ease. My emotional state when I went into the office, to the time I left was night and day. The care and overall customer service of this office was incredible and unlike any other office experience I've had. It was a shame to be at a place like New You under my terrible circumstances; unable to appreciate the office for what it was. But just being there an hour and looking at their "menu" if you will, I really can't wait to go back for an actual warrented procedure or service! (Especially Heather, she knows so much about fillers, which is truly an art, and if anyone needs someone that knows what they're doing, GO TO HER!) All in all, the staff here are incredible, professional, kind, and know they're products! They even sent me home with a "Reginica" balm that was to help with any bruising... that I am now addicted to. THANK YOU SHANTELLE AND HEATHER AND NEW YOU! Go to this salon or any New You (run by Shantelle for that matter) if you want to be truly taken care of. This office single handedly saved the rest of my trip here in Toronto and I will MOST DEFINITELY be back. Phew!
