Burlington Spa and Massage

Voted the best city spa in 2010 by Chatelaine, sweetgrass spa seizes luxury services back from the exfoliated fists of men by offering its therapeutic treatments to only women in a comfortable environment. During an express facial, sweetgrass spa’s friendly estheticians remove the clutter clogging clients’ skin vents while moisturizing and revitalizing the skin with a coat of day cream to leave visitors with a fresh-off-the-lot new face shine. The express massage expediently delivers an equally comprehensive bodily renewal. Spa therapists delicately handle wearied muscles of the back, neck, and shoulders, extracting tension and knocking it unconscious with brass-knuckled fury. Arrive early to enjoy the indulgent spa amenities at sweetgrass, including a whirlpool, an infrared sauna, and an ozonated pool with an underwater treadmill, as well as towel service and a guest change room with lockers containing spa attire.

From the top of its vaulted ceilings and exposed rafters to the hardwood floors of its treatment rooms, Natura Day Spa exudes relaxation. Spa treatments range from manicures and pedicures to detoxifying body wraps and customized facials. Using the SharpLight laser skincare system, Natura Day Spa's staff can zap away unwanted body hair or an entire family of troll dolls. Alternatively, these lasers can shrink pores and eliminate unsightly blemishes. Spa packages combine treatments to create full-body makeovers or all-day pampering sessions.

When entering Rhythm Spa, guests are greeted by a glossy upright piano. The instrument is a symbol of the elegance and comfort found throughout the expansive 2,500-square-foot space, anchored by private, themed treatment rooms that have been recently renovated. The spacious couples room makes the perfect environment for lovebirds looking to share a massage or enemies looking to bitterly stare at each other for an hour. The wide range of aesthetic services also includes an infrared sauna, facials with Thalgo skincare products, and custom pedicure chairs with jacuzzi sinks. Pre- or post-treatment, clients can enjoy a treat from the organic cafe, which serves espresso, coffee, handcrafted teas, as well as locally made vegan and gluten-free desserts.

Spa owner Maria is a perfectionist, according to a Toronto City Gossip columnist, who goes on to praise the spa’s “demanding standards of cleanliness” and “perfect” eyebrow threading. To help offset the costs of education, Rhythm Spa offers discounted student pricing on waxing, facials, and massage.

Specializing in skincare, massage, and laser treatments, the experienced team at Yanox Laser & Massage Therapy Clinic perform noninvasive, FDA-approved procedures that aim to enhance each client’s self-confidence and beauty.

With a devotion to treating patients holistically, the clinic also performs detoxifying foot ionization and designs homeopath and naturopath programs specifically for each patient. Meanwhile, registered massage therapists stand by to melt muscle knots and produce blissed out synapses, and aestheticians remain ever-ready to rejuvenate skin and fight the signs of aging with 24-karat gold facials, mesotherapy, and by bribing Father Time with new ties.
