We lived…read moreoverseas for many years and spa treatments are dirt cheap in many of the countries we stayed in. So, when we came back home, my wife took on this mission of trying to find an equivalent spa experience that was as peaceful and beautiful as those overseas, but not crazy Canadian expensive. Only You Esthetics was such a place. It is a picturesque little house on Hawthorne Street with incadescent lighting and curtains in the windows. And inside, it still maintains a homey feel. It has all the spa treatments you would ever want - massage, that stone thing where they put rocks on your back, face massages and treatments that reverse aging!, manicures, pedicures and - yikes! - waxing. Pedicures are $38, but you can spoil yourself with a pedicure featuring massage and a hot bath for your feet. That runs about $58 - not too bad considering it cost $40 or so in Korea. Spoil your lady friend today - so she can spoil you later!

I came here for my very first Brazilian wax, encouraged with the purchase of a Groupon. I mention…read morethe Groupon, because usually when I use a Groupon for a service businesses have select appointment windows and it can sometimes be difficult to get a convenient time-slot--Sophia Esthetic was a pleasant exception. Their receptionist was friendly and super accommodating with the schedule. The spa itself isn't the easiest to get to because it's up a flight of stairs and down a hallway--there are other similar businesses in the same building so it's not sketchy or anything. The location itself is convenient though, just at the corner of MacLaren and Elgin. Once I figured out where the spa was I was impressed--it was warm and comfortable, there's a waterfall in the waiting room and calming music playing to create a nice relaxing ambiance. I saw Brittany and she was awesome. She was friendly and she made me feel comfortable and did a good job answering my questions. The room was clean, well-kept and prepared freshly before I went in. The whole experience was quick, clean, and not overly painful.

I was really nervous to start my laser treatments on my legs and bikini. I am mixed with tanned skin and very dark and coarse hair. So I was (1) scared of the pain and (2) scared of getting burned. Well now I'm on my fifth treatment, and yes it did hurt, but not as much as I thought and it got better and better each treatment. And even though I'm not done my series yet, my legs are dramatically smoother. I can't be happier with Silde's work. She is honest, patient and very experienced. I used to have next day stubble on my legs, and now they can stay non-prickly for about a week bc the hair is thinner and softer and there's just way less of it lol. And I'm only half way through! Super excited! And now that I feel comfortable with her and the results, I have opted to do my arms and underarms. Watch out summer 2017!! This Sexy Sphinx is coming your way

However, my shellac was just slightly better than the one I had at another more low end place, two weeks ago, but cost twice as much for the same service: removal, manicure and shellac. The shellac on a couple of nails wasn't nicely shaped despite paying for a manicure too. The shellac was painted over the cuticle in a couple of spots. The shellac started peeling on three nails after 1.5 weeks. I had a shellac done in downtown Vancouver for 2/3 of the price that neatly lasted 3 weeks. Giving it a 3 because the service and atmosphere was great but not the nail job.

Loved this experience. The shellac French manicure looked perfect and still does 10 days later.read more

This person takes people's money and runs with it. I booked three appointments, and for each one, there were continuous excuses and cancellations.

I had a facial (5/5) and a foot massage (2/5) This overall rating is really mainly about their…read morecommunications with me after the fact and the disappointing foot massage. The facial: 5/5 Relaxing, private, quiet and professional. Olivia was informative, gentle and not over chatty (all good in my book). Oh and there was a bed warmer... lovely! Foot massage (2/5) I'm basing this on deep foot massages I have had in the past. The deeper the better. I'd give their approach to a foot massage a 5 if you're just expecting light application of massive amounts of fragrant creams and ever so gentle, light rubbing in a pleasant setting. I sat beside a good friend and we chatted while she had a pedi and the staff allowed me to stay longer because her procedure was longer and the room wasn't needed. I felt that was kind. Where things went off the rails and why my review plummets was due to the communication I received from this place after my review. I had expressed 2 levels of disappointment with their foot massage . First is wasn't 'deep' despite the description of 'deep rhythmic massage' on their website and second because the esthetician maintained a very light pressure after I twice told her should could go much deeper. The 'deep, rhythmic massage' never happened. They sent me an email asking me to change the review, blaming my disappointment on my misinterpretation of 'deep rhythmic foot massage' and explaining that of course it meant was 'deeply relaxing'. They said a lot of other stuff, but the result is that I feel gaslit and feel they were trying to shame me for giving an honest review. They have now updated the website to eliminate the wording of 'deep rhythmic' from their foot massage description. I have a screenshot of that earlier version. So, I have in fact changed my review from a 3 to a one and would give them a zero for customer service if I could. No customer should be made to feel this way.
