Great place on Granville, terrific staff and they do good work. Found the spa on Groupon and they didn't scale down the treatments at all - will be back! read more

I purchased a 100 units of dysport injections (basically Botox) from Breathe Spa. I had heard they had a good deal on dysport injections (same as Botox) so I called in and booked an appointment. directly. Could have been a one time deal, but maybe they still honour it, I'm not sure! I got in and the staff were so lovely. The spa is gorgeous... The owner is this beautiful lady and she was the perfect person to see for my injections since I was getting them in my jaw line to reduce jaw clenching pain and to thin out the jaw line. She really knew what she was doing. Her assistant was the sweetest guy ever and we laughed a lot. 2 weeks later, my jaw is no longer in excruciating pain and my face is looking more thin. Takes 3-6 weeks to experience the full effect. Would totally recommend this place for Dysport injections! read more

Went again and I was blown away by the customer service, skill of staff, and the relaxation-factor. A++

Lovely interior, clean, clutter free, spiritually lifting, soothing music, professional and compassionate human beings, and experts in this field. They have really thought about everything! I have been going here for over a year for facials and extractions, maintaining my skin every six to eight weeks, like going to the gym, to keep it healthy and properly cleaned. It is always a treat and I can RELAX because they know what they are ACTUALLY doing. Victoria is great. They are all great. I can't say enough good things about this place, you'll just have to try it out for yourself. This place is no longer a secret. For all of you out there who know what I'm talking about, you know how it feels when you can't even step outside your home because of your acne...yeup, been there...there goes my social life...I had issues with acne and the acne has improved with the extractions, proper care, and routine facials. (Please note, that i have called over 20 spas in Vancouver, spending hours researching, reviewing levels of expertise, asking numerous questions, and at the end, being extremely picky at who gets to touch my face, my skin, my acne, I finally chose Breathe spa.) My skin started to get better again, I felt better, confident again, and much happier overall that I found truly someone who knew what they were doing. I have told all my co-workers, friends, and family who are dealing with skin issues, hormonal acne, acne in general about this place, and I've heard only good things. Great products too. Skin is important; it affects our confidence level, and when you find someone who understands this from both the physical and emotional side, and knows what they are doing, it's such a relief! read more

I had the classic facial. Pro's + bed/lounge was extremely comfortable (best part of the whole experience) + given tea while in the darkened room + nice receptionist + felt clean + good hand soap & moisturizer in the bathroom + Borderline on how much they push their products Cons - could occasionally hear people in the hallway or by the kitchen/bathroom area - so many different treatments (cleanse, tone, mask, different mask, cleanse, acid like treatment...) it was to much for me and my skin - the massage part was lack luster actually just a waste time, I could do better - very expensive My skin just felt irritated after the treatment. Could be my skin type or something. I don't know. I would not go again. read more

they keep rescheduling my appointment to another day due to double bookings. I scheduled an appointment eight weeks ahead of time (because I booked for laser hair removal) and then they called me the day before my appointment, asking to reschedule my appointment. Just a super unreliable place. read more

I had a chemical peel here off Groupon and the experience was not good. The chemical they used on my face burnt my nostrils so bad, it was so strong. After telling them I have sensitive skin and have only received mild peels in the past they reassured me it was not a strong one. The peel was also supposed to be left on and I had to wash it off hours later, which is odd to me as the others I have had in the past were only on my face for a few minutes. I ended up having a very bad reaction to it and when I contacted the spa about it they told me they would come up with a solution and call me back....they never did. I followed up with email twice and still no response. Definitely would not recommend this spa or go back. read more

Outstanding small local spa. Personalized professional and pleasant communication from the first interaction. The spa interior is all of lux, elegant and comfortable. The treatments were languid and unrushed, with meticulous attention detail and a sense of really caring that the client was getting the best experience possible. After a hard few months I left refreshed and blissful. Very highly recommended. read more

This place is ridiculous. We paid for a 90 min hot stone massage and were only attended to do an hour and 10 min. When asked what was happening they told us their spa policy is that the give u tea and make you sit for 10min before and 10min after the treatment. My masseuse barely spent 10 on my back. She took no notice of my pain points in the disclosure form and gave me an additional 5 min treatment time when I told her she barely attended to my back. She didn't really come across as a trained massage therapist. It was not a great experience all in all. Both my husband and I were quite confused by their strange timing and complete lack of technique. Would not recommend this place. Definitely not worth the money! read more

5 Stars for Customer Service. This is a review for the front desk staff. I think his name was Leon, and he was the most helpful agent I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I made a reservation for three of us but ended up having to cancel because our schedule for the bridal party changed. Leon was so helpful when booking the appointment initially, and so kind when he confirmed the cancellation of my appointment. Even though I haven't been there yet, I would send any of my friends there because of their EXCELLENT customer service, they have all my trust. read more

I purchased the groupon for botox (insanely good deal), and was amazed by the service I received from the second i walked in the door. They offered me tea and there were snacks on the table. The owner of the spa is just lovely. She did an amazing job and genuinely cares. Her assistant, Angel, is so nice and funny as well! I'm so pleased with the results, 10/10. Will definitely be coming back! read more

The one star is for the customer service. Unfortunately I did not get a chance to experience a service. I had the day off for my 30th bday and booked a signature facial for the occasion and planned the whole day around it. My fiancé bought the gift certificate around Christmas time and had a really difficult time doing so. It involved being called 4 / 5 times that one day to pay for the certificate because the receptionist didn't know what she was doing. Saying the booking was difficult is being optimistic. They are not open very often and they have a voicemail that tells you to let them know when and what service to book and they will get back to you.. I left my name, phone number, service wanted, day and time of wished appointment, more than a month in advance. Very straight forward. I got a voicemail back to call them back to book. Not useful. Try to call again, finally gets someone on the phone. After 3 times giving my name, spelling slowly and phonetically, the receptionist was not having it. My name is very easy to spell. She could not take my name down. I gave up after a few minutes and ended up asking for the email address. I then emailed on their two different email addresses to make sure I get at least one reply. I told my fiancé about it and he told me not to count on it as he tried to reach them two months prior and never got a reply back. I ended up reaching them on Facebook, explained the situation and got an email back - with no apology. Well at that point I am okay fine at least I got a booking. Now today is my birthday, day of the booking, planned the day around it. They called me an hour and a half prior to the appointment to cancel, stating that the spa was closed for the day. No apologies whatsoever, no reasons given, just giving me some options to rebook. Would not recommend. **update** The team manager of the spa gave me a call and offered me a service for the trouble caused which is appreciated. Service is booked next month and will base my review on the service then. ***update I give 5 stars for the facial and massage. My therapist was Katharine and she was knowledgeable, friendly, and I came home feeling very relaxed. On the downside I do found that odd that my appointment started at 12, but the spa only opens at 12, so by the time you get settle you start the service 10 min later. When I finished my services, I was directed to the front desk. There were a couple of staff members behind the counter and they could not find my gift certificate (including the manager). They also asked me how I was going to pay for my massage, which was quite awkward telling them that they actually offered it. They need to train their front desk staff. I will not return. read more

Maybe my expectations were too high, or maybe I just didn't get lucky with the lady who did my facial, but I'm disappointed to say this was a completely lackluster experience. After reading the great reviews I was excited to get the "signature facial", a 2-hour facial that also included a "face, neck, arm, hand and foot massage". This is actually my favorite part of facials (and I've had many)... laying there with a masque on my face and having my hands and feet massaged is the best feeling. Unfortunately, the hand and foot massage lasted a total of about 4 min altogether. After she tucked my arms and feet back into the blanket I thought "really? That's it? No that can't be it, she's probably going to come back to it and do it again". When she applied a masque on my face and told me she was going to leave it on for 10 minutes I thought "oh good, here we go with the rest of the massage". Nope. She actually LEFT ME IN THE ROOM by myself for 10 minutes instead. Who does that? Never in all the facials I've ever had has anyone left me in the room for that long. It was so strange. And this whole lure of the facial being "2 hours"' honestly, it wasn't like it was nonstop bliss for 2 hours. The lady just took a really long time doing everything, seemed like she was messing around not really knowing what she was doing, and then she took about 10-15 min at the end to push some products on me under the guise of a "skin consultation" telling me the products were "medical grade" and that the company only sold to their spa. Suuuuure ok. Lady, I know enough about facials and skin care products to know that's just pure nonsense. Very, very lackluster. I won't be going back. Pros? The front desk guy, can't remember his name but he was super nice and professional. The spa itself was really nice with heritage flooring and very cool decor. read more

My boyfriend got the Palatial Package, which consists of facial and hot stone massage, as my birthday present for the both of us, and it was the best! Oh my god, the whole thing took almost 4 hours!! The memory foam bed was so comfy! My boyfriend totally loved it (but because I have back problems, lying down too long really tired me out). Stephanie did my massage and she was great, polite and very pleasant. The hot stone massage was nice but personally I still prefer Swedish massage. HOWEVER, the facial is a MUST do! It's their signature facial and my skin felt so soft and moist after! She did a really good job of cleansing and extracting and afterwards explaining the different products. I did not feel at all pressured to buy any products, which I really appreciate because I feel that always messes up the whole experience. I will be back! read more

This place is absolutely amazing! First time coming for my honey moon. Karen and maira took care of me and my husband!! they're amazing!! I recommend this place! read more

An absolutely amazing experience! The location is stunning: a one-time barber shop from the turn of the century complete with original marble and tile. High ceilings and away from the noisy street. The treatment rooms are spacious, calming, and pristine. The staff were all wonderful, extremely friendly and professional. Yuki gave me the Signature Facial and she was superb! The procedure was a full 2 hours of bliss including a lengthy foot, arm, hand, face, neck, shoulder, and scalp massage! The products used are high-quality, organic and smell fabulous. I left absolutely glowing. I will definitely be back. The best spa experience I have had to date. read more

Stunning spa, fantastic staff. I spent 5 hours getting treatments (which was longer than it sound have-Bonus :) ) I felt like i had soaked into the bed when I was finished. The best spa experience I have ever had! I felt completely pampered. I don't understand how anyone could say anything bad about this place it was amazing! read more

This place is a hidden treasure in Vancouver. I totally lucked out and got Victoria, the owner, for my signature facial treatment. From the moment you walk in - you are exported to a whole different level of zen. I've been to my fair share of spas in and around Vancouver - so I can say that! Victoria was so professional and really puts her all into her business and customers. The treatment room was spotless, the bed just gels to your body, on a cold rainy Vancouver evening - the room temperature was perfect. No complaints - extremely comfortable. Treatment itself was like no other facial I've ever had! I was more relaxed during this facial treatment than I have been in a full body massage. The facial itself made my skin feel incredible. The accompanying massage was just the right pressure and decadently relaxing. What more can I say? I was in a complete state of bliss by the end - they really should offer a "drive you home" service - b/c trust me you are an extremely happy bowl of jello by the end! Other brilliant touches: tea before and after treatment, head massage, complementary product sample to take home, eye brow clean-up, smart conversation that flowed naturally. read more

Well talk about a out of this world experience...wow!!! Love this place! I've had my fair share of spas but this one takes the cake! A small yet grand decor in this small spa that is sub ground which really keeps out the street noise. The room was dark with a huge bed in the middle..heaven! I had a lovely Irish girl who just moved here about a month ago! I soaked my feet for a bit and then got to lie down and the treatments began! I had everything from a pedicure, to a massage on my arms and legs (front and back!), and a lengthy facial...all thanks to my hubby as a bday gift. I think I was there for about 4 hours and felt like a jar of jelly afterwards. The constant attention to detail was amazing from the constant creams massaged onto my face, warm towels on my face, the massages....sigh! I need to go back! Check it out for an afternoon of bliss... read more

This is the ultimate luxury spa experience. You walk in and you already feel relaxed. It's a quaint little place with great service and exceptional massage therapists! I love this place and will be a regular. I booked my next appointment before I left! I also thing you get so much bang for your buck here. It's comparable to many other places in price that are not at nice. Try this place if you are seeking a super relaxing experience and a great massage. I've also heard the facials are wonderful! I plan to try one soon. read more

Had a relaxing 50 minute massage today with Karen! She applied the perfect amount of pressure during the massage, it was a great experience! I just wished I would have booked an hour and a half! read more

I want to talk about their Malie organic product line. I just love IT! The scent is deliriously good and it's organic to boot. The massage was good, but the cream was just great! Loved it like crazy. read more

What a nice oasis, I can't wait to go back again! I am very picky about spas and the moment I walked in I knew it was going to be excellent. The place is spotless and has the nice clean Spa smell. Had the Classic facial, it was amazing. Excellent service, products and overall experience. read more

Victoria and her team are pros and love their jobs. In particular, I was so impressed with Victoria's passion, and detail... making sure I was comfy (hand feet and shoulder massage), talking to me about all my skin needs, explaining all the products, applications, etc... you know that Victoria knows her shit. The facial, touted as 2 hours, took more like 4 hours (a bonus IMHO). I went back a couple months later to pick up their serum: Vivier C E Peptides Anti Aging Serum and Victoria remembered me and was so accommodating and helpful. It does what is promised too: helps fade scars/ add moisture (ask for the water test where they show you how one drop clears up pollutants).... all in all, I like this place a lot but I wish I was richer so I could visit Breathe more often. This place would be a fantastic place to gift a facial to (hint nudge), or splurge out depending on ones socioeconomic status!! So to sum up -- even though I'm not loving the $$$$, i must say, it's pretty "worth it" in terms of the experience gained read more

Had a most splendid birthday at Breathe Spa - the lovely Paula gave me a luxurious hot stone massage and followed it up with a facial ! I've never experienced a hot stone massage before and I'm a fan indeed, it is so very relaxing and left me feeling pampered beyond belief. My face has been glowing since I left and the serum they gave me on my way out the door is definitely going to be a must buy the next time I pop into the store :) Definitely go here and don't be afraid to try the hot stones, they really do rock !! Pun intended. read more

It was my first time going to breathe spa. I had decided to make an appointment for my birthday and am I ever glad I did!!! Coming from a skin care background, I am always picky about where I go for facials and what products people use. Kim did my facial and used physiodernie products. I was so impressed by the facial. My skin, which seemed a little dull looking at the time was transformed by the end of the appointment. The products she used are among the top of the line for skin care. I find very few spas use this line. Kim was gentle and very sweet and the staff were also very friendly. The spa was not hard to find at all! The interiors and furnishing was great and very clean. I would definitely book another facial here. read more

I've had regular facials with Victoria for over 10 years and she never lets me down! People are always comment on how young I look, and I owe it all to Victoria's expert advice and treatments. Always book in advance, as it takes a few weeks to get in to see her! (or put yourself on their cancellation list, you never know) read more

Enjoyed an exceptionally relaxing mani-pedi yesterday for my birthday. Kelsey was fabulous - just the right level if chit chat and relaxation. Definitely going back to try out there 2 hour signature facial. Sounds simply amazing! read more

I live in Australia and contacted Breathe Spa to organise a special surprise package for my best friend's Birthday as she is living in Vancouver. Diandra and her team were so helpful! They prepared the massage gift card for me along with a birthday letter in an envelope which was tied to a happy birthday balloon! Diandra personally delivered the present to my best friend's workplace in Downtown Vancouver. I couldn't have asked for better service. They were so very friendly, helpful and personable. I know I will be visiting Breathe Spa when I make it to Vancouver! Thank you again for the beautiful service. I know my best friend will be in good hands! read more

Was treated to a Classic Facial for my birthday today (thanks Hubby!) and had a wonderful experience. From start to finish it was approximately 1.5 hours. Along with the usual cleanse, exfoliate, steam, extraction, tone and moisturize routine; I was also given a wonderful lower leg, foot, shoulder, arm and hand massage. Victoria (the owner) did my treatment and she was excellent. She provided me with great information on how I can treat my problem areas (drink more water and wash my face before bed) as well as some supplements that I should be taking to assist with my dehydrated skin. The spa itself is very beautiful, clean and well appointed. The products she used were lovely and top quality. The receptionist was friendly when we arrived and overall the staff are very nice and welcoming (no snobby attitudes here). After my treatment, another staff member came and did a quick makeup application: mineral foundation, mascara and lip gloss. All free of charge and I left looking like a glowing goddess! I believe the facial cost $105 (not including taxes or tip) and I think I more than got my money's worth. Located conveniently downtown on Granville Street, across from Pacific Centre. read more

I wish that I could give this spa a 4.5. It is excellent, especially for facials. The spa is clean and the products used are fantastic. I also like that my treatment wasn't rushed and the staff are very professional. My facial was thorough and I felt leaving totally relaxed. I even received samples of the products used to try at home. My sensitive skin didn't break out at all, which is something that I often experience. My only issue with this spa is that it's below ground (no views!) and small. There are no amenities such as a steam room or sauna. That's the only downside though. I would highly recommend Breathe Spa. read more

I've been going to Breathe Spa for facials for the past couple of years and each time I get the exact same wonderful service. The products are amazing and have never reacted with my sensitive skin. I truly believe this is the best deal for a facial in Vancouver- $140 for 2 hours! Plus you get a lovely arm and leg massage. I've tried getting facials at other spa's and nothing compares to the products, professionalism and service you get a Breathe read more

Without doubt I think this is the best facial I have ever had - I am what is considered mature, and I left without any make up, and then went out to dinner, and did not feel the need to put on any make up - fantastic read more
