Beauty & Spas in Langley

Spa Utopia’s services range from those of a salon to those of a med-spa, recognizing the connection between medical and more purely aesthetic issues. Facials can purify skin or minimize signs of aging, and they also calm rosacea outbreaks. A LightSheer Diode system combats unwanted stubble during laser hair-removal sessions, and beams from a Fox Diode system attack toenail fungus. Massage therapists use styles ranging from traditional Swedish to deep tissue, and they’re glad to combine modalities to target unique troubles such as lower back pain or shoulders that won’t stop shimmying.

Clients can concentrate attention on an array of beauty and body needs by booking a couples room or VIP suite for an afternoon of private treatments. Even the public areas of the spa evince a strong taste for luxury—clients walking in are greeted by a marble-topped reception desk and a giant, faux-stone archway engraved with the spa’s name before passing between polished pillars leading to a grand fountain.

A mini spa located in the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel, Sueño Spa cossets male and female guests with seaweed and clay body wraps, chocolate facials, and products from brands such as Éminence Organic Skin Care and Wilma Schumann. Before a day at the spa, guests can take a few laps around a full-sized, heated outdoor pool or enjoy the hot tub and outdoor deck.

Making eyes stand out from a crowd is Vivian Ko Gooch’s business. She and her staff of certified lash-smiths add va-va-voom and fetching contrast with their eyelash extensions. Their work has caught on with local celebrities and roped in a slew of positive press mentions thanks to their expertly bedecked lids, which sport synthetic polyester or silk lashes in a variety of curls, lengths, thicknesses, and colours. Vivian’s aestheticians also tend to the rest of their guests’ faces with exfoliating facials, eyebrow waxes, and makeup applications for special occasions such as weddings, galas, and swim meets.

As they go about the day, the beauticians at Filomena Salon Spa use products from brands such as Dermalogica, OPI, and Kevin Murphy and make sure their guests stay educated about beauty. Hairstylists—each with an attention to detail rivaled only by the finest of tax collectors—consult with their clients before starting cut-and-colour sessions, adding extensions, or performing KeraStraight smoothing treatments. Filomena’s technicians use a cream-based wax to remove unwanted hair, and harness the power of St. Tropez tanning solution to give skin a healthy, natural-looking glow. And when you visit, whether it’s for a spa mani-pedi or a relaxing massage, they’re ready to offer the added comfort of tea and cookies.

MVP Men’s Salon embraces a no-nonsense approach to male maintenance. Exposed pipes lend an industrial chic vibe to the space, punctuated by high ceilings, glossy chrome finishing, and red hanging lamps. During trims, clients unwind in jet-black leather club chairs as stylists work in high-end products from American Crew. And prior to snip sessions, guests can take advantage of complimentary Wi-Fi or watch on one of many flat-screen LCD televisions that double as punching boxes for today's modern, reckless man.
