I purchased the $55 One sea salt glow treatment and microdermabrasion or non-surgical skin care treatment on Groupon.
Facts:
1). 10 Minutes walk from Elginton/ Lawrence subway station
2). This spa has been opened for 5-6 years but was recently relocated to its current location. It is located on the second floor of the building.
Pros:
1). Very clean and cozy spa
2). Staffs are very professional and welcoming
3). Great packages are offered for Groupon customers (I was offered a package for 3 facials at a price of $65 each. With this package you can choose any facials you want, even the most expensive ones!)
Cons:
1). Limited machines:
My friend and I were both interested in doing the microdermabrasion facial but one of us were told to choose another treatment as they do not have enough machines for 2 people to do it simultaneously. I was then offered the Pure Skin Oxygen facial which also turned out to be great at the end!
2). 10 minutes walk can be a pain in the butt during winter times! Other than that, everythingès perfect:).
I would recommend everyone to go try it out.
Overall Experience:
Right after I arrived, I was guided to a private room to get ready for the sea salt glow treatment. This treatment is basically a back scrub for exfoliating all your dead skin. The esthetician first used a steamer to open up the pores, then they applied cleanser, scrub and moisturizer. Through out the process, they gave me a mini back massage so that my skin would absorb all the goodies that were applied ;).
Moving on to the Pure Oxygen facial. I have heard of this facial before as its a pre-event skincare treatment that a lot of celebrities like Jennifer Lopez swear by. This treatment is to make your skin look more plumped-up and glowy.
Overall the process is pretty similar to a regular facial where they will first clean your face, then exfoliate and at the end, apply toner and a mask. During the process, they will use a machine which would emit Oxygen under pressure, works similar to an airbrush gun.
My breakouts on my cheeks were gone after the treatment and my skin looks super glowy and hydrated! I was very satisfied with the results:).
