Tabitha did an amazing job (I got a 60 min cupping massage a while ago) and if the therapists weren't so booked up at the good times, I'd be back much more frequently!

A recent not great experience at a nail salon had me thinking, in hindsight, how much I appreciated…read morethe manicure I had here last year. Yes, it was that long ago -- nails just aren't a thing for me. But, I really appreciated the experience here: I was asked about my preferences throughout -- preferred nail shape, if I wanted my cuticles trimmed, or pushed back, and whether I wanted my nails buffed before polish. After being asked none of those things elsewhere, I value how much the manicurist really wanted me to enjoy the results. And I did!! As an overall review, I would say I spent a great deal more time at this spa back in the days when it was possible to buy day passes for the mineral pools - I bought a few 10 packs in 2009/10, and really enjoyed it after work as away to unwind and warm up in the winter. Now that I have a different job and work far, far more hours per week I wouldn't have time to indulge in this even if it was available! But, over the past 1 - 1.5 years, I have had a d enjoyed body scrubs and wraps. TBH, I think they do the best wraps in the city because they provide a mini facial instead of just leaving you stranded in the room for 20 minutes like so.many.other.places (in Winnipeg, and elsewhere). I used to go more often when they had the rosehip healing wrap. The only downside to the spa is how noisy it is. True, certain days will be louder than others due to the hotel pool and water slide adjacent, but I have also found the mineral pool side of the spa quite noisy, so I find it hard to relax. But, as I understand, there are renovations planned to make the mineral pool side a little more secluded, and hopefully that will encourage a more soft, calming atmospheric

Came here for a couples massage. It's within a hotel, on the same block as Pancake House. The…read moreperson who massaged me was pretty ok and receptive to what I needed. The one who massaged my lady friend, however, was way too chatty. Not only so, but her volume was quite loud too. Whenever I tried to tell the one massaging me something, she couldn't hear most of the time and the interference was getting pretty annoying. I can tell this is a pricey place (the massage was a gift) and the chattiness left me kinda sour, and the chatty one wasn't even the one massaging me. Otherwise, the establishment is quite nice. After the massage, ppl can go make tea or coffee upstairs, take a shower in the locker room, or use the amenities in the locker room. Within the locker room, they have shaving cream, disposable razors, a shower, mouth wash, and other things to get ppl freshly on their way. The receptionist seemed alright, hardly a smile but not mean at least.

They have a lot of therapists there so I can usually get an appointment on the same day that I call. I go with a different therapist every time, some are better than others. My definition of a great massage is someone who listens to my problems and then gives me a super deep tissue massage. The good ones really focus on the problem and give advice on what to after the treatment. I've had some great massages here and some bad ones but this is all due to the fact that I go with a different therapist every time. Although I never found the right therapist here so I've moved onto another clinic. But for the times when I can't get an appointment with my current massage therapist, I call Academy. Pros: - very clean facility, sheets are decently soft - they have a FT receptionist (some places don't) - lots of therapists (possible to get in on the same day) - good pricing; it's in line with most clinics around the city Cons: - because it's an old house, you can hear a lot noise from the second floor (loud creaks) which can be a bit distracting if you're looking for a very tranquil environment - certain rooms kinda loud, like the one near the kitchen or the laundry room; I prefer the ones on the second level - hit and miss with the therapists (some are friendly, a few seem a bit cold) so if you find a good one, keep them! - if you want direct billing to your insurance company, you have to pay a $3 admin charge - kinda annoying since other places don't do that. But you can just pay the entire bill and handle your own reimbursement if you want to avoid that charge.

TL:DR: - I got the best gel manicure from this place in my…read moreentire life - Staff changing the appointment time five times, including while I was heading over to the spa, was a major turnoff In June, I bought a Groupon for a gel manicure from Ageless Spa & Boutique. I couldn't tell you when I last got a manicure. It has been years. I typically do my own nails every Sunday because I find it relaxing and therapeutic. It's also a huge savings. I decided to splurge. I bought the Groupon and called in late June to book an appointment. I got a woman on the other end. I asked if I could get an appointment after July 1st. I got July 5th at noon, which was a Friday. I was okay with the time, as I had a Blue Bombers game at night. She assumed that I was local by asking for my 204 phone number for the appointment. Nope. I'm 416. I got a call on Tuesday, July 2, from a man at this place. He asked whether I could do 11:45 am. I was fine with the change. I wanted an earlier time anyway. I got a call from a woman from this spa almost two hours later. She asked whether someone had called me to change my time to an earlier one. Yes, but don't you guys communicate with each other? Shouldn't this change be on your end and noted in your system rather than interrupting me driving through a downpour in which I can barely hear you? Weird. On Thursday, I got another call from the same woman. She wanted to bump up the time to 11:30 am. I was okay with it. I was extremely accommodating. On Friday, I was getting ready to leave for my appointment, which takes thirty minutes to get to from where I was staying. She called me while I was away from my phone to ask if I can come earlier. I didn't respond, as I had to head out the door. While I was driving, roughly eighteen minutes away from the spa, she called me, asking if I could come in early. I had had it. I asked her why there were so many time changes. She couldn't respond. I let her know that my appointment time has changed multiple times and I haven't even had anything done to my nails. I let her know that my time of arrival was exactly at 11:30 am and that her short notice was not enough time for me to magically whisk myself over to the spa. I needed far more notice than less than an hour before my appointment. Sheesh! She may think that she was being helpful by saying that she's free earlier. She wasn't. It was a huge drag to get almost a daily time change the week of my appointment. I arrived at the spa. There is parking behind the building. There is a single spot for an Ageless Spa customer. I backed intoit. There is a backdoor from the parking lot. I couldn't go through it. It was locked. I went around to the front. It's a two-floor building with a basement. This spa is straight ahead on the main floor. The woman who had called me was waiting for me at the door. She was efficient. This Groupon did not include taxes, so I paid for them right off the bat. I then sat down at one of the manicure stations. I got to select the colour of my gel manicure. I chose wisteria haze, which was a pretty lavender colour. She prepped my nails. I then had to wash my hands in the washroom and return to the manicure area. She then diligently and carefully went through painting my nails and curing them. I felt relaxed and happy. I got a mini massage at the end with lavender oil. It was heavenly. She was great. I loved my nails and let her know that she did a wonderful job. I just wished that she didn't have this weirdness with moving up my appointment time. Otherwise, this place would have got a perfect rating from me. This gel manicure was the best one that I ever had. It didn't chip. I normally take it off after three weeks. I let things run their course naturally and finally removed the gel polish after six weeks. I would definitely return to get another gel manicure from this place. The quality and shine are amazing. It's the multiple time changes to my appointment that irked me. (322)
