I had a very generous gift certificate for Spa My Blend so I decided to try out their HydraFacial. The spa grounds are absolutely stunning, especially the pool area and the sun room. Definitely a luxurious experience. The robes, spa slippers and anything you might need are at your fingertips. The pool area was quiet and the water temperature was warm enough. The little snacks in the sun room are great for munching while you lounge; the general layout of the room and the couches are especially perfect for a group spa getaway or some alone time.
Now onto my actual procedure; I had tried the HydraFacial before at Beauty Bar in Toronto and loved it so I decided to try it again here. For such a mark-up, I certainly did not get the same experience or results. The esthetician was way too rough with the hydrafacial wand that I thought she was going to scar my face. It was not a relaxing or a pleasurable experience. Thankfully, my skin didn't suffer too hard but you could tell that this wasn't a well-trained nurse or esthetician but pretty amateur hour in my opinion. She was not thorough and my "procedure" lasted for less than 45 minutes.
The entrance was also a bit underwhelming. There were too many unnecessary gift shop type chachkas on the adjacent wall; I would have liked to see more skincare products or lines. I would come back here and maybe try one of their massages and take advantage of the facilities.
