I'm extremely disappointed with the treatment I received at this salon. I called ahead and…read moreconfirmed a 1:30 PM appointment. I arrived on time, sat down, and was completely ignored -- no greeting, no acknowledgment. Two walk-in customers who came after me also sat down, were greeted, and when we were all eventually seated, they were attended to immediately while I was left waiting. After 25 minutes of being disregarded, I got up to leave, only then did someone ask me to "please wait." By then, it was obvious that I was not a priority. The difference in how I was treated (I'm a black woman) compared to the other (white) customers was glaring and unacceptable. I have supported this business before, but after experiencing this blatant disrespect and bias, I will never return. No customer deserves to be treated this way.

I booked a last minute facial here last week. It was my first one at H&S which I was told was at an…read moreintroductory rate. Luckily I got the last appointment but I recommend that you book ahead to get the time you want because they book up fast! I arrived for my appointment early to fill out a form and questionnaire and was offered a beverage while I did. When I was done I was greeted by Dee who was the esthetician. Dee was lovely and knowledgeable. She started with a skin consult and talked to me about my skin care routine. Then she made a recommendation to add a collagen mask which was an additional $40. I agreed to it as it was my birthday and I wanted to treat myself, however be prepared to be upsold on the intro pricing. She used Dermalogica products which seemed nice. A warming scrub and a few different masks. She also offered eyebrow threading which I was due for but in hindsight wasn't a good idea. It was painful and my eyebrows were done too thin for my liking. At the end she left the room to allow me to get together. I has eye makeup all over my eyes that luckily I wiped with a tissue before leaving the room or I wouldn't have realized. I wasn't offered the washroom or a mirror. Once I arrived back at the front, Dee showed me a couple of products she recommended for my skin. She didn't pressure me but said they would save them on file for future reference. I later looked them up and the ingredients lists weren't impressive. Both products contained dimethicone which is terrible for your skin but creates the look of smooth texture. I would expect that from cheaper products but not from products that were approximately $100 each. I was better skin, not better looking skin. All in all I would say it was ok. Dee was my favourite part of the facial but Hand and Stone is a money making business above all else.

A Truly Wonderful Experience Every Time!!…read more I've been coming here for years, and I can't say enough good things about both the location and my massage therapist, Jennifer . The atmosphere is always calm, clean, and welcoming--perfect for truly relaxing and unwinding. My massage therapist is absolutely incredible--professional, skilled, and genuinely caring. She always know exactly what my body needs, whether I'm dealing with tension, stress, or just need a moment to reset. Every session feels personalized and restorative. It's rare to find a place that consistently delivers such high-quality care and attention. I'm so grateful to have found this gem and will continue coming back for years to come!

I told the masseuse I want full body but to focus on my neck, lower back and hips. She spent the whole time talking about her Egyptian boyfriend that she's been with for a month, which distracted her from what she was doing. Next thing you know my hour was up and she only got to my back and lower legs? She never touched my hips, neck, thighs, lower back, arms etc. This was the worst massage I ever had and I could've got my little cousins to do a better job. Each time I asked her to apply pressure she told me it's too difficult for her because I'm on my side. I'm obviously on my side because I'm pregnant and it's a prenatal massage. I'm not someone that's hard to please at all but I did inform the front desk it's a disappointment that I have to pay for that type of service. The front desk didn't bother to ask me any questions or seem to care, they just said to have a nice day. I was looking forward to that massage all week because of these pregnancy pains...I still left there in pain and $120 less in my pocket lol not a good experience at all and I won't be returning. ...not to mention, their new rooms are as bright as they're shown in the pictures here. If you're like me and prefer the room to be dim and relaxing you won't enjoy that part.

This bathhouse is modeled after a Russian Banya and contains a dry sauna, wet sauna, steam room,…read morecold plunge & bucket, resting/common area, and a dining room. With the entrance fee, you are given a towel, bathrobe, and a bracelet for a locker. You can also opt for different add-ons for your experience such as an exfoliator/scrub or a sauna hat. They do not offer slippers so bring your own if you prefer them. I found the saunas hot enough as I have a low heat tolerance. The cold bucket plunge was also refreshing after the sauna. The cold plunge is a well that states a one person limit, though many people went in with 2-3 people at a time. The entire atmosphere reminds you of a cottage getaway. Afterward, we went to the dining area where they offer complimentary tea at the cutest tea station. They also make homemade kombucha and offer pickle vodka shots. We ordered the borsht, cabbage rolls, dumplings, herring, and the sourdough pancakes. Right off the bat, everything was delicious. The borsht was probably one of the best I've ever tasted, especially with the sour cream and the tanginess of the broth. The cabbage rolls were juicy and seasoned well, the sourdough pancakes tasted like fried dough and had a rich buttery flavour as opposed to the sweet, cakiness you would expect from a pancake. But the most surprising was the herring, which came with pickled cabbage on top and was incredibly tasty. Definitely give this a try if you visit. The drinks were also made strong, despite the low price ($11-15 for a cocktail). We all agreed that we should return just for the food alone!

Scrubs are five dollars for purchase which actually is kinda crazy considering the size but I came for the full experience so you bet I bought one for the steam room. The sauna and steam rooms were INSANELY hot and the cold plunge was INSANELY cold. It was FANTASTIC lol! It was so foggy in the steam room I literally could barely see anyone else and my nostrils were burning from the heat. The water in the pool was nice and cold though and really helped keep cool in there. The larger sauna was super relaxing temperature wise and more for chilling out. If the cold plunge was too extreme there was also a chain and bucket that release cold water that was not nearly as freezing. There was a lovely cozy rest area with dim lights and a tv and in the nook of the dining area a plethora of stunning herbal, aromatic and fruity teas. As for the food itself, AWESOME. There were plenty of options for me as someone who only eats halal meat and has to otherwise be vegetarian or pescatarian in the event meat is not halal. I had potato pelmeni and the bowl was LOADED. I was in absolute BLISS. The mushroom julienne was a pool of cheese, cream and mushrooms, what was there not to like there??? The bread was the only meh part of it all. The sour cream cake was lovely and fluffy. Very homemade vibes. I loved the experience and would absolutely come back again!
