Hamilton Spa and Massage

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.

At first blush, it seems strange that The Ten Spot would advertise itself as the “ultimate anti-spa experience.” The more one becomes acquainted with the beauty bar’s funky allure, however, the more one understands its pride in that moniker. A friendly, unpretentious ambiance—combined with grooming treatments for men and women—has earned The Ten Spot praise from notable fashion publications such as Elle Canada. Owner and founder Kristen Wood drew inspiration from two of her former homes when she founded the first of her four locations. Her time spent in New York City inspired The Ten Spot's hip, urban decor, and her time spent in Montreal may explain why the spa has no professional baseball team.

The registered massage therapists of Progressive Sports Medicine have worked with numerous athletes from the NHL, AHL, CFL, and NLL, but athletes aren't their only clients. They also treat individuals who have undergone repetitive strain injuries, back pains, and headaches, which the clients perhaps received by working in office jobs or straining too much to lick jam off their elbows.

The clinic's team—which includes chiropractors, a sports physician, and a physiotherapist in addition to massage and athletic therapists—doesn’t just address injuries that have already occurred. They also attempt to prevent these injuries from happening in the first place, in both sports and everyday life. They work with individuals to identify issues in workout regimens or lifestyles and to head the issues off with massage therapy, custom orthotics, conditioning, and acupuncture.

The chocolate-brown awning that heralds Diva Couture Salon and Spa resembles the awnings that speckle Parisian side streets. Its scalloped edging ripples in the breeze, shadowing bay windows and potted topiaries. Inside the salon, black and white tiles underscore styling stations where hairdressers cut and colour manes. This space leads to a pedicure area, as well as private treatment rooms where certified aestheticians, clinicians, and massage therapists enhance body and mind with spa services and med-spa treatments. In the waiting area, herbal tea, espresso, and wine keep palates warm and relaxed for drawn-out thank you speeches.

Dedicated to patients and survivors of cancer, Diva Couture Salon offers discounted and complimentary services to those going through treatment and celebrates survivors by offering specials three times a year.

Cocoon Urban Day Spa’s spa technicians understand that a good waxing treatment has two things going for it: precision and speed. That’s why their Brazilian waxes typically take only 15 minutes and leave behind a wide variety of custom shapes and designs. When they aren’t sculpting bushy areas into triangles or iconic skylines, they airbrush skin with natural tanning solutions that result in an even glow.

Saltcave Solana’s powder-dusted cavern looks like a polar bear’s hibernation den, until you notice the lounge chairs. The creatures that dwell here are modern humans, and the wonder that draws them is as old as time itself. Here, they relax amid Himalayan salt crystals, which fill the air with therapeutic properties. As music whisks minds to tranquil states, minerals vaporize themselves into tiny, breathable particles of the tasty mineral, which may ease symptoms of allergies, asthma, and some skin conditions. By infusing the space with negative ions, the saline mist can also help stave off colds and slug invasions. Safe for both children and adults, the cave teems with toys and blankets, which the salt divests of bacteria. The space fits up to eight people, making it a popular venue for yoga and Pilates classes.

Beyond the cave lies an infrared sauna, which helps melt away stress, pain, and toxins as it boosts the heart rate and circulation. Nearby, kneading experts perform Thai massages, gently easing bodies into yoga-like poses designed to dissolve tension, increase joint mobility, and make energy flow freely, like a river stocked with coupons.
