I had a Groupon for a 90 minute aromatherapy facial and 30 minute relaxation massage…read more The massage was just the upper body but it was excellent. The lady was thorough, deft, and gentle when she sensed she was near a sore spot. I also felt like she actively worked on releasing the tension spots when she came across them. I've had a persistent pain in my hip for days and it is now completely gone thanks to some work she did on my neck oddly enough. The facial wasn't aromatic at all but it was very thorough. The extractions were the most painful aspect of a facial I've ever had anywhere, but I really felt she cleaned my pores well. My nose was quite red afterwards, but that has faded overnight. The pain of the extractions undid the relaxation of the body massage but then she did a shoulder, face, and neck massage afterwards which helped me relax again. This facial was the most inclusive package I've ever had. It was very thorough and she explained each step as she went which is helpful to a spa noob like me. She did try to offer me a collagen upgrade for some wrinkles I apparently have, but I declined. So far this is the best spa experience I've ever had. I would definitely go back again for the massage but maybe do the facial only once a month. I'm a big baby about the pain. ;) I only give it four stars because the ambient music and decor could use some updating. The spa is clean, no concern there.

The staff are nice and friendly and experienced, What I liked was that she did talk to me a little especially in the beginning, but she was quiet for 99% of the time and let me relax (which is not what you experience in some other places even expensive luxury spas). I booked for another facial right after the one I got because of the great experience I had, my skin is so soft and fresh now (I went today for my facial). The products WERE scented I have a very sensitive nose and I could definitely tell you that they were scented. The fact that I had bought a discounted deal did not affect the quality of service at all and I got everything I had before (I have been to this place before too).

It's an amazing combination of incredible technique, thoroughness, relaxation and professionalism. In addition, Connie is always careful with my skin, erring on conservatism so I trust her completely - there is nothing worse than going to a facial and having the aesthetician be too aggressive and ending up worse off than when you came in. I had the 60 min facial which included: - Double cleanse with a light exfoliation - Steam and thorough extractions finishing off with high frequency treatment - Most amazing and relaxing facial and decolletage massage - Mask with facial pressure point massage Highly recommend - I would have stayed longer but was pressed for time, but boy was this the best 60 min facial I've had in a long time!

I've gone to see her 4 or 5 times now for some laser hair removal. She iced my legs before applying the laser, so I didn't feel a thing (except for the cold ice). My hair is pretty much all gone now and I'm so excited that I won't be having to shave my legs again! Elena also makes an organic skin care line that smells divine. She misted some rose toner on me once, and it calmed me down and put me in such a good mood for the rest of the afternoon. The room is clean, Elena is friendly and efficient. This place is great.

She went into Dr Nancy Van Laekens office to have a her nipple tattooed by Alannah Lane of Avalon Spa and Wellness Centre Inc. Dr Nancy Van Laeken came in and froze the area then left the room. Alannah Lane according to my friend didn't appear to know what she was doing. Constantly looking at the nipple stencil about 10 different times?? Slinging the tattoo gun cord over her shoulder???Yet still didn't get the correct size. Her husband asked about after care. She provide NO after care instructions just to leave the bandage on for 1 week!!?? Several days later the bandage was soaked in blood and pus started to seep out the bottom of the bandage. She contacted Alannah Lane of Avalon Spa and Wellness Centre Inc and asked her about the 1 week she once again confirmed her ideology of leaving a bandage on a tattoo for one week??? Then she was sent the picture of the blood soaked bandage and she instructed her to go to the emergency room. Which was done and was told that it was infected!! She was placed on an IV drip and was told to return the following day for even more antibiotics. 2 days of going to the emergency room and due to this trauma caused by Alannah Lane of Avalon Spa and Wellness Centre Inc. she has given up on her hopes and dreams of feeling normal after battling breast cancer. I wouldn't trust Alannah Lane of Avalon Spa and Wellness Centre Inc to colour in my 3 year old kids colouring book let alone do any kind of tattooing or any kind of cosmetic procedure.

She is also excellent in doing facials and massages. The prices are perfectly reasonable and the workers are very nice and accommodating. The spa is very tidy and clean with a cozy atmosphere. It also has a great inventory of good products. For such a busy area that the spa is located, there is ample street parking in the front that is free for 2 hours. In an area where there are plenty of businesses that are underperforming in the competency and service arenas, Nuestro Day Spa surprisingly stands out in a wonderfully refreshing way. I would highly recommend Maria and her spa to anyone who has a high standard for esthetics needs and customer service.
