This is one of those hidden gems of Toronto. I have been coming here for five years now. While I…read moreappreciate a luxury spa with all the bells and whistles as much as the next girl its not what I look for in the spa providing my waxing service. I appreciate that the ladies have always been able to get me in within 48hours. They are by far the fastest place I know to have a Brazilian, I can be in and out in under 15 minutes. The location is so convenient for any UofT student. Not to mention they offer a student discount! The rooms are always clean and sanitary, and the women are always engaging. There are no bells and whistles but you cannot beat the prices for waxing in Yorkville. As far as I know they only take cash, but there is an ATM at the corner store less than a hundred yards from the spa.

It's a small shop and the atmosphere is a not as nice as other spas that I've been to, but overall I would recommend Effeto Donna as convenient, cost efficient and quality place for waxing.

I've been here twice: once years ago for brows and once today for brows and lower legs. Someone in…read morethe previous review mentioned possible workplace toxicity--When I went in years ago it did feel kind of quiet and eerie, as if some of the staff were sort of whipped despite having a full house of workers and waiting customers. Today it seemed like it was a quiet day and there was only one or two other staff despite 2 waiting customers. As in both my experiences the venue appears to be really clean. Not sure what other people are complaining about re: rudeness as it's quick, polite and efficient and also the wax they used was surprisingly super painless... one big caveat: they double dip, and if you're the type that minds then you should pay more for peace of mind. They wore gloves and had a mask on for my lower leg wax. They're experienced with threading but if you have sensitive skin I wouldn't go here-- While I'm totally cool with pain (and even enjoy that during an eyebrow wax/threading) some people would feel having a thread rapidly whisking over their over-eye area would be too tender. They weren't wearing gloves for the threading part but frankly not sure if I've ever seen that or if people would still be as tactile with gloves on. It would have been reassuring to see someone sanitize hands before the threading took place. I deducted a star as the most disappointing part was double-dipping in wax... which higher end salons don't do but at this price point, is common and is a bit of a dice roll on skin health given the monkey pox scares... so I wouldn't trust waxing my pubic area with them.

The decor and ambiance of this wax bar was soothing and welcoming. She uses a lot of different types of waxes - she will show you the jar of different types of waxes all in one once you walk in. She explains very well why she uses different waxes and how it's different from other spas that use only one jar. It's very clean and she doesn't double dip. If you want a pain free Brazilian or bikini wax, this is THE place to go. I haven't been more excited and happy to talk about a waxing experience; definitely recommending all the ladies out there to try it out.
