Not a good experience…read more I don't write a lot of reviews. I tend to write them when an experience is either really amazing and I want people to know, or it's really not good and I don't want people to have that experience. For context, I've had a lot of facials in my life-- too many to count. I'm new to Victoria and can't get to my longtime facialist on the mainland for at least a few months, so I decided to try to find someone good in Victoria. I thought to try Emerald Day Spa because of all the good reviews and awards. I specifically booked an extraction facial. When I was asked by Parisa, the facialist, if I had any concerns or things I wanted her to know, I said I was there for extractions, most importantly. I asked if she could turn on the light so I could show her specifically what I wanted her to pay attention to. She said no, that she would look at my face when I was on the treatment table. This struck me as odd, because I can't look at my own face when I'm on the table, and how can I be sure that she's seeing what I need her to see?? Next, after I'd changed, she took forever to come back in. I started calling out, "Hello! I'm ready!" but she did not return for at least five minutes. It was bizarre and stressful. Then she asked if I was comfortable. The towel I was lying on was really old and rough, and I asked if she could remove it. But instead of just taking it off, she left again for another five minutes! Once again, I called out, "Hello! Hello!!" She finally came back in and I said, "Wow, that was a long time just to take away a towel." Then, she didn't remove the towel and instead put down a sheet. This was okay, but to lose ten minutes of my hour and fifteen minutes while I was lying there, cold, was weird and unpleasant, to say the least. When she got to the extractions, I again said that I wanted to show her what really needed extracting, but since I had no mirror and I was now lying down, I couldn't be sure that I was pointing to the right things. She told me she saw what I was talking about: white heads on my nose, an enlarged pore that gets really clogged, and most importantly, a very large white head by my ear that needed to be punctured, drained, and extracted. I repeatedly pointed it out to her. She started the extractions with a small machine, and then said she was missing something and left again! This time leaving the door open!! OMG. Any relaxation I'd achieved was torpedoed as I heard the people in the hall walking by, talking, and I worried that someone else would come in. Back to the facial... Like I said, I've had countless facials, and I know what extractions feel like. She was NOT doing extractions. She continued moving the little machine around my face. I'm sure it was doing something, but it was not getting out whiteheads, blackheads, etc. Then she got to the area with the very large blemish. She futzed around a bit with the machine, and then said, "It's all cleaned out." Well, let me tell you, the big blemish is still there, as are the white heads on my nose and the clogged pore. It's like she did NO EXTRACTIONS AT ALL. No joke. Now I need to find another facialist who can actually do the extractions, or make the trek to the mainland. And I'm out $183 for something that did not do what it said it would. Perhaps there are other treatments that are good. I'm guessing that with all the rave reviews, other folks have had good experiences. But let me tell you, an extraction facial with Parisa is not why this place is winning awards.

Two different technicians (Tiffany and Lavender) worked on my nails, and the service felt careless. They noticed my cuticles bleeding and simply wiped the blood away with their finger. The UV curing process was so painful I had to pull my hand out, and instead of warning me or adjusting, I was just told to "press my fingers down on the table and put them back in." I asked for a deep maroon red with no sparkle. They said they didn't have the color and would "make it," instead of letting me choose a different shade. The result wasn't the color I wanted, and sparkle was added anyway, despite me asking multiple times not to have it. The flower design I wanted wasn't done as requested, one French tip was smudged, and several nails had visible bubbles under the gel. For $90 (without tip), I expected quality and care. While the technicians were polite, the actual service was very poor, and I would not return or recommend this salon.

I was interested at first, but after feeling really like I had no option, I was out of the sale. I don't like that. I absolutely have an option. I loved the products and the woman was kind, knowledgeable definitely, we chatted a lot during services, but I do not like feeling like I am without option to go without if I choose. It felt like I was obligated or something. I told the front desk it's more than I wanted to pay and I will pass now.

It was very strange - as if she was afraid to touch my feet. I ended up having to cut and file my nails the next day. She commented several times she only works there one day a week and perhaps that should have been my first clue! She worked as if she'd never done a pedicure before. My daughter said her service was similar. There was a regular customer in at the same time with the owner. Both were friendly but soooo loud. It was odd for a day spa for it to be so noisy. Again the experience was kind of strange. We wouldn't go back. There was no malice or pain involved (thankfully), but the quality of the work was really low. And it was far more expensive than the place we usually go (the pedicure was $65 to start with plus a tip which I felt compelled to give). Both of them were very lovely people, but the pedicures were of poor quality. We don't recommend the services here.
