Nearly a year later I'm still frequenting the place for manicures *and pedicures* from Brittney! Showing off the shellac manicure (the pinks) I got tonight. Went in with super chapped hands and untrimmed nails from a whole month of traveling and neglect; came out with soft hands, neat trims, and shiny happy new nail colors. The nail trimming / cuticle shaping / hand care / etc are done with so much attention to detail and her polish application skills are top-notch :) I'm a perfectionist and you can imagine how happy I get when my nail colors always come out smooth and pretty. Thank you!!! EDIT: The pink shellac manicure stayed flawless for 3 weeks before I had to remove them out of necessity for work. FLAWLESS. read more

Serenity Spa & Lounge - Skin Care Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Omg Best pedicure in a long long time. My feet look dope!! Brittney was amazing! And the entire team was warm. Spotless space. Spa like but efficient and clearly service-oriented (some spas you feel relaxed but the aestheticians are terrible; not here!) Feels like I stumbled on downtowns best-kept-secret spa. Britt also have me great advice for caring for my feet and my face--no pressure sad tactics, just free, caring advice! I'll def be back for a hydra facial (and maybe some lashes down the line?? Feeling wild! Meaning I felt in good hands.) THANK YOU BRITTNEY!!! read more

The service/nail technician was very good, however beware: they charge an additional 10% on top of the advertised price, which is hidden in the Covid-19 "fine print" on their website. I even called in to confirm the price of a pedicure prior to my visit, and they did not mention the total price/additional 10%. The pedicure and service was great, but when they charged my credit card, they added the 10%. They only explained the extra charge once I came back and questioned it/saw that the price was higher than quoted, and they referred me to their Covid precautions fine print. read more

Best Pedicure Ever! Brittney was so personable, attentive and all around fantastic. The Spa itself was bright, super clean and had a really relaxing vibe. I may just have to fly to Toronto for my pedicures from now onwards. read more

Serenity Spa is the best spa I've been to in the downtown area. Its conveniently located and doesn't take over three weeks to get an appointment. My sister, best friend and I have gone there for manicures, pedicures, facials and waxing. Esmeret (the owner) is extremely warm, kind and highly knowledgeable of skin care, new products...basically everything to do with one's beauty regiment. The atmosphere is lovely and comfortable, the space is beautiful and relaxing and the quality of the services provided are on par with some of the really high-end hotel spas (which we all know cost a fortune!). The pricing is extremely reasonable at Serenity Spa and for the quality of service you receive, it's totally worth it! read more

Was in town and needed some relaxation so booked online (super easy) for the 90 minute massage and facial. AMAZING. Leda did a great job and I felt so much better when I floated out of the salon 90 minutes later. She gave me a little sample of one of the products which was kind. I will be booking again with Leda next time I am in Toronto and would highly recommend this service or any other massage and/or facial service. read more

4.5 stars rounded up to 5 Just had a very nice experience here. One of my best friends lives out of town and we were able to book facials for the same time slot. We didn't get to be side by side in the same room, but it was relaxing and it was nice to do "together" anyway. We both got the basic facial, in which Skinceuticals products were used. I really like that line - it felt really luxurious. You can also ask for Dermalogica or Phytomer, but I was going to request Skinceuticals anyway, if given the choice. The environment was also very nice, even though it was a small space, and the staff was great. We both agreed that our skin felt plumper, smoother, and more hydrated afterwards, which was very nice! They recommended products without being aggressive, and provided guidance on how to get started with Skinceuticals, which is something I'd been meaning to look into. 1.5 stars off because my esthetician tried to extract a couple things on my face that I didn't want her to touch, but I probably could have communicated that more clearly at the beginning. No harm done though, because she wasn't too forceful and stopped when I asked. I think her technique was good. Generally, when I compare this to my other spa experiences in Toronto, I prefer Serenity over Elmwood because I prefer the product lines at Serenity, I think the esthetician's technique was a little bit better, Serenity has nicer treatment rooms (Elmwood rooms look very clinical, like doctor's offices), less people milling about (because it's a smaller facility), and I don't use the hot tubs/hair salon anyway. I feel like you can get a better facial at a more competitive price here, the massages offered are less gimmicky, and I'm very interested in the hydrafacial, which is not offered there. Also, the pedicure basins at Serenity are not the jacuzzi/massage tubs (which is what Elmwood has), which is way more sanitary because it's nearly impossible to completely disinfect jacuzzi jets. Miraj Caudalie spa I absolutely adore and is the gold standard in terms of providing a luxurious environment, but the prices means it's definitely more of a special occasion spa, whereas I'd be happy to visit Serenity multiple times throughout the year. I'd be happy to return for a full day of treatments next time, especially for the hydrafacial! read more

Went in for a pedicure and the lady did something to my toe and then tried to blame me saying it was already there when she had already pretended like she didn't know what I was talking about and tried to act as tho I was speaking a different language. It eventually went away in like 36 hours but it looked gross like a welt or boil and was certainly NOT there when I sat in the chair. Also the paint job wasn't the best and I had to ask her to fix it multiple times. I also felt like the shaping was off but I'm a big stickler for my Big toe nails shape and size. But the worst part was that I was told to get off my phone since someone was getting a massage. I've been to other spa type salons to get my nails done and never had that problem but it was a very small place and the massage room was literally a walk away and must have been very thin. I was pissed lol. I go to a nail salon to relax and I wasn't talking loud on the phone. Was just the only thing or person making a sound. Otherwise it was quiet so if u like that go here. But I wish I knew the lady who did my feet's name. Total let down this place. read more

I made a spa day appt. for my friend and I and couldn't have been happier with the services! We both got the Glow package and the scrub/massage + facial were amazing. It really felt like you got your full time's worth for the services and they left us both feeling relaxed and rejuvenated! read more

THE BEST MANI PEDI in Toronto. This place does a very very good job. I've been to places that cost upwards of $100 fora pedi that didn't do half as good a job. Clean, thorough, professional nice atmosphere...serenity ticks all the boxes. I have found my reg place. Highly recommended! read more

I just had my first hydra facial and Brittany was awesome. My skin hasn't felt this good in years. I can't wait to go back for more.

A great little spa that makes you feel like a special customer, not just another number. I walked into this place while I was in the area to get a regular manicure. It's a small but clean, bright and calming place. They were able to squeeze me in. My nail tech was very nice and efficient. I really enjoyed the experience and will likely be back if I'm in the area again. read more

Love this place! Very clean and well kept. I arrived early to my appointment and they got me right In. Got a brazilian from Brittney and she was fantastic. So nice and professional and really made me feel comfortable. I'm only in town for a few months to visit but I will definitely be back! read more

I tried their facial and body treatment. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but there is still room for improvement - specifically, in more transparent and clear communication with staff. Priced right for the service and product. I will be back. Booking was a breeze online. With text message and email reminders as the appointment closes to date, reservation was very easy to manage. The space is quaint, very clean, bright, and welcoming. Staff was courteous and efficient in taking my jacket, and giving a form to fill out. No chatty ladies gossiping here - a very pleasant change from your downtown "spa" scenery! I booked the Rejuvenating with Honey & Coconut Milk Body Treatment (75 min) and the Phytomer Custom Facial (60 min). The body treatment was a blissful treat for my flaky winter skin and worn-out muscles. You are first scrubbed down with a subtle sugar concoction, smothered with honey and coconut. After taking a shower in the private suite, you are given a nice back rub with essential oils, and a divine scalp massage. The facial includes a series of cleansing operations with intermittent applications of hot towels (simple stuff - but it's so relaxing!). The bulk of the "work" consists of extraction (if needed), hydration, and serums to top it all off. My qualm is more with communication with the staff and the up-sale of products they carry. I had booked a Phytomer Facial (using the said brand product) but they had switched it up to a different brand without consulting with me at first! I mean, that is really NOT ACCEPTABLE. As consumers, I believe we should be informed of any product being applied to us, especially our faces! On top of that, it was not the service I intended. I was only informed of this change (they switched me from Phytomer products to SkinCeuticals) when my beautician was giving me a series of recommendation for my beauty routine. The series of products she recommended me for my face tallied to be about $500 (it is actually slightly below the retail price of said product - so kudos to them!). I told her that it is absolutely over my spending limit, and if she can recommend me one product that would work with my budget ($60 - I know, but it is my absolute maximum for daily routine/4month period). No, she says, the only thing that will do anything for me is this $170 serum. I will return to Serenity. It was only my first visit, but I would easily put it on my top 5 favourite spas list in downtown Toronto. It is spotless, quiet and I felt completely relaxed and rejuvenated after my experience. However, clearer communication is needed. read more

Come here to get a hydrafacial done. I usually do the deluxe one with Asmeret. She is great and knows how to handle my skin. It has been a year and i have seen great improvements. It is a bit pricey but worth it. I also use the skinceuticals products sold here which are great for my skin read more

What an AMAZING facial! :) I booked only 30 mins as I wasn't sure how my skin might react. I've had some terrible experiences at other spas. Asmeret was knowledgeable, calm, and gentle! My skin feels & looks like a million dollars. Can't wait to come back for a longer facial with extractions!! read more

5 stars is not enough for Serenity Spa & Lounge. Like the other reviewers I am a fan of their facials. Asmeret is a skin care genius! I have extremely sensitive skin and whenever I have had facials in the past there is always something that sets my skin on fire and/or I end up with redness/irritation afterwards. Not here. Asmeret customizes the facials to suit my needs and my skin has never looked better. I agree with a previous reviewer who said if you're having a horrible day to book an appt. for a facial. My first one was for 75 minutes and now I won't book anything less than that. Over the course of 75 minutes your life will be transformed. You think you're just going in for a facial but you're not. Expect a seaweed back treatment to help draw out the toxins and a massage for your hands, arms, legs, feet and scalp. If possible book for the end of the day so you can go home and crawl straight into bed! That is what I do! The spa is extremely clean and the spa rooms are so comfortable. The music and the lighting are perfect for relaxation but Asmeret is so soothing and has such a way of making her guests feel at home. I've been here for lash tintings, brow threadings and facials. Each time I leave feeling like I am walking on air. I am so happy I discovered this gem of a location (thanks to the reviews on Yelp!) and I will continue to return again and again and again. read more

Just had a 60 minute custom facial with Leda. She is very knowledgeable, so relaxing. Clean, calm place, very friendly. Would come back in a heartbeat! read more

I've been looking for a replacement for 10 Spot for a while because I find that (franchise of) spa(s) became way too mainstream, i.e. busy and LOUD. This place uses Dermalogica, Skinceuticals, and O.P.I. products - all of which are my preference. I've just come home from having 3 services done, actually: a wax, their signature pedicure and their classic manicure. The wax was quick and done very well! I'm always relieved when an aesthetician puts light pressure on your skin immediately after waxing the area, not everyone thinks to do that but it reduces the painful sting. The main difference between their signature and classic -cures is that the former includes a paraffin treatment. I had never tried paraffin prior, so figured I'd add it to my pedi and I'm impressed at how much softer my feet are now - I will definitely keep that up over the summer while my feet are more exposed on the regular! I stuck with the classic mani because, meh, I don't care about my hands that much (ha). Regardless, the polish job on fingers and toes look great. I don't remember my aesthetician's name was Olga but I'm not sure. She was young and blonde, and super friendly. I was very relaxed and almost fell asleep a bunch of times. She also helped me put on my shoes and jacket after my nails were done. The interior of the spa itself is subtly feminine, with an equally subtle Moroccan vibe. I liked the quiet atmosphere, a lot. Very relaxing yoga music in the background. Again, almost fell asleep a bunch of times. I'm recommending this spa to all my girlfriends (and reposting this review everywhere I can) and I will definitely be back. The prices are on point, i.e. very, very reasonable. read more

Had a 24 hour layover in Toronto and booked an appointment here because of Yelp reviews. Asmeret did my pedicure and it was wonderful and thorough. My feet were very soft afterwards and toes looked great! Atmosphere is modern and peaceful. Very clean and hygienic. Easy to book an appointment. read more

Oh yes please! Just came from a birthday mani-pedi. SUCH a beautiful experience given by a beautiful soul. I'd given up on finding this service done well and in a relaxing environment. Five stars all the way. Never going anywhere else. read more

I received one of the best manicures ever at this salon. I was visiting from New York on business and took a break to get my nails done. It is very relaxing inside and clean with high ceilings. The manicure is done with high quality products and with a lot of attention. I loved the Guerlach hand lotion. It makes your hands feel moisturized and has a soft pleasant scent. I highly recommend this salon. read more

Best salon in town -staff is professional and so friendly - a must to do as a local or visitor -

After moving to Toronto last year, Serenity was the first place I went to for my nails, mostly due to its location. I tried another salon for comparison, but returned to Serenity and have no desire to go elsewhere. Leda is awesome! She makes my hands/nails look hand model worthy. The salon is always clean and orderly and the atmosphere is very peaceful and relaxing. One of the other bonuses is that appointments can be booked online, which I love! Who wants to talk to people anymore? ;-) read more

Looking for a flawless, long-lasting, thorough pedicure that leaves your feet perfectly soft and perfectly pampered? Asmeret, owner at the year old refurbished Serenity Spa, deserves the title of Pedicure Queen for the pristine way she leaves feet and toes looking. Her luxurious pedicures last a full hour and change: no rush jobs here. She is absolutely meticulous in scrubbing, filing, pushing cuticles back, massaging and applying polish, transforming even the most scruffy looking toes into little gleaming gems. I know: she has cared for my feet for over 10 years delivering consistently professional, perfect pedicures time and again. The spa has a clean, cozy, well-lit, bright, and inviting atmosphere and is located in the downtown core, right on Wellington. Sip chamomile, mint, or green tea, browse current fashion magazines, choose your OPI nail polish (Shellac also available, along with other brands) and watch as Asmeret takes your beleaguered urban scraggle toes and turns them into foot fetishist bate. That's how perfect your feet will look post-Asmeret: good enough to eat. Yes, really. Hyperbole aside, if you are looking for a pedicure that will leave your feet refreshed, soft, with perfectly painted toes and a light, pampered feeling, get on the phone and book an appointment with Asmeret. You will become devoted to her pedicures. Like I am. read more

Best spa in Toronto in my opinion!! The staff is very friendly, professional and excellent at what they do. I have been going there for mani/pedis for a while now and have brought friends along (even my husband!) and it does not matter who you get - whether it be Asmeret, Jenny or Sharon - they all do excellent work!! I've had threading done by many people and Jenny is by far the best. I call her "the Queen of Threading". Asmeret gives the best facial. You have to try one of her facial treatments. Every service I have had there has been excellent. Asmeret has created this little jewel of a spa. The name Serenity really suits the spa. When you walk in, you feel the serenity from the decor/atmosphere and you leave feeling very serene. Highly recommend you go and try any of the services they offer. You'll be glad you did. read more

I moved to the area a few years ago and Serenity Spa quickly became my local waxing spot. The beauticians are all very professional and the place is extremely clean. I really love the quick and easy online booking service. I've never had to wait past my appointment time which I sort of got used to at other waxing places. They do a thorough job and make you feel relaxed. Highly recommended! read more

Highly disappointed in the service here! I definitely do not recommend. I suggest going to Sekai for a better ambiance and professional service. read more

This spa was around the corner from where I'm staying while visiting Toronto. It's a medical spa so it's VERY clean and all instruments are amazingly clean! Brittney was the gal that gave me a pedicure and she was amazing. Don't think I've ever had a better one. She took her time which I appreciated. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would certainly return! read more

I've been coming to Serenity for all my waxing for almost a year now and I LOVE this place. They are super professional and nice, plenty of availability and they are on time. I always go to Asmeret and I think she's very popular. read more

Asmeret is beyond wonderful! Her spa lives up to its name. It's serene, calm, and gorgeously shining with cleanliness. I am one who does not trust everyone with my facial or my massage but she knows what she is doing and does a great job. Absolutely recommend this spa. read more

Our group of 3 decided to drop-in on a rainy Tuesday after work to get manicures done. Despite serving another client, with another scheduled shortly, the ladies were able to accommodate us promptly, and ensured we were all satisfied, even staying shortly past closing to finish up. The quality of workmanship was excellent especially within the price point, and we enjoyed their banter with us. Would highly recommend to others. read more

Went for a family mani-pedi on New Year's Eve. My partner and I and the 2 girls had an excellent time. Great location, facilities, staff and service. My partner and I had the hot stone pedicure - amazing way to end the year; I highly recommend this option, it takes a little longer but feels amazing! read more

Got the hot stone pedicure and absolutely loved it. Beautiful spa with a great relaxing environment. Absolutely love the service I received and would come back in a heartbeat! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to pamper themselves. read more

My feet and hands look great. I loved the warm welcome for myself and my girls. We had such a good time and we will be back again when we are in town. Thank you read more

Sadly, didn't honour my appointment. I called the day before and booked a mani pedi for the next day at 12:30pm. After organising my schedule around this, when I showed up they had no recollection of the booking. The receptionist was very nice and very apologetic about it, but couldn't do anything as they were fully booked. Sadly, only book if you have spare time and don't count on it being followed through. read more

My MOH brought me here the day before my wedding for a massage and mani/pedi. Asmeret and Tanya were great! All 3 services were perfect! They helped me have a relaxing day before my wedding and my feet and hands were perfectly done. They were both very meticulous and are also very sweet and friendly. The place is clean and beautifully decorated. It's nice and intimate and was the perfect place for me and my BFF to hang out for the day. Nice and private! I will definitely be coming back whenever I need to pamper myself and/or one of my loved ones. read more
