Day Spas in New Westminster

It's possible to walk out of Trix Spa with a completely different look than the one you had when you walked in. That's because the spa offers everything from makeup and updos to threading and waxing. Nail technicians trim and shape nails before applying polish, glitter, or 3-D flower appliques, and henna artists cover skin with intricate designs and maps to the grocery store in case clients run out of lactose-free butter substitute. For a break from the beautification, clients can try a Thai massage, which relieves muscle tension using not only soothing massage strokes but also guided stretching.

At the base of a modern skyscraper a block from the waterfront, the staff of Absolutely Fabulous Urban Spa build a foundation for health and beauty with relaxing spa services. After managing spas across Vancouver for several years, aesthetician Sandra Bulatovic struck out on her own to build a team that includes a laser technician armed with a LightSheer DUET laser and certified body workers trained in a variety of massage modalities. Aestheticians wielding Dermalogica skincare products examine complexions before customizing their unique facials, all of which include a mask, extractions, and a post-treatment cosmetic touch-up using Jane Iredale makeup. Along with disinfecting their tools with hospital-grade disinfectants, nail technicians maintain strict sanitation standards by letting clients take home the nail file, buffer, and conversation-starters used during their manicure.

Specialists blend traditional and modern spa techniques in services that include custom facials, massages, and body treatments. Slate gray and honey-hued wood crafts an airy pallet in the oasis. There, a consultation aids therapists in personalizing each visit with essential oils and specific selections for mix tapes. Illuminated by flat-screen TVs, which glow thanks to their frequent facials, sumptuous leather chairs envelop patrons waiting to bask in algae facials, thermal foot therapy, ear candling, and mud wraps.

A certified dental assistant with upwards of 20 years of patient-care experience, Spa La Phoria's owner, Monica Tang, boldly leapt into the arena of aesthetics to fulfill her dream of sharing her passion for beauty with Vancouver's citizens. Monica helms an experienced staff who showcase their pampering prowess by lavishing patrons with treatments including traditional manicures and massages, custom Spa La Phoria signature facials, and waxing services that render bodies sleek enough to shave precious time off hokey-pokeying records. Monica's dedication to providing her guests with cutting-edge treatments is reflected in the spa's use of advanced equipment, including a wrinkle-shrinking radio-frequency machine and a skin-smoothing diamond machine powered by tiaras harvested from the gardens of local royalty.

Pink Lime Salon & Spa has played host to beautifying treatments for more than 25 years. The business, which boasts features in publications such as Vancouver Lifestyle and Salon Canada, offers rejuvenating salon and spa services ranging from haircuts to hot-stone massages. Additional spa services include facials, which target dry, aging, or sensitive skin, and body wraps that use mud or clay bindings to help detoxify skin or tighten and tone the limbs, torso, and elbows.

Since 2000, Amethyst Skin Care’s private treatment rooms have provided a rest from frantic schedules and mounting stress with soft music, soothing lighting, and a gentle barrage of pampering spa services. During treatments that include deep pore cleansing facials and slimming, firming body wraps, skin specialists use products by Be.Kaim BodyNourish––a skincare line made with botanical extracts and natural ingredients and developed exclusively for Amethyst. Certified tan technicians create summer-ready shades using an ultra fine, organic spray-tan formula that nourishes skin with anti-aging botanicals, and waxing specialists de-fuzz face and body for results that yield minimum red bumps and maximum waterslide velocity.
