Beauty & Spas in Niagara Falls

Committed to bolstering the well being of their customers as well as that of the planet, Hannah's Euro Spa’s talented staffers maintain a green approach to beauty by performing holistic, eco-friendly services. Eschewing sulfates, parabens, and chemical preservatives, the team rejuvenates bodies using organic and natural soaks, scrubs, and creams whenever possible.

Filled with the delicate smells of essential oils, the serene space bustles with aestheticians revamping hands and feet with mani-pedis or evicting unwanted body hair via gentle sugaring sessions. Within the confines of private treatment rooms, trained-and-certified massage therapists ease bodies aching from long days spent testing out dog doors with massages that range from hot stone to Thai stem. The spa’s facials use advanced European systems along with mineral mud, ylang-ylang, and lavender to restore radiance to complexions. The staff’s commitment to running a green business extends from their treatment rooms to the pollution-free laundry detergent and solutions used in their daily cleaning.

According to Freida Polihronis, "If you cannot eat it you cannot put it on your skin." Polihronis staked this claim in an interview with Bullet News following her appearance on CBC's program Dragon's Den, where she stepped into the den and pitched her signature body butter and anti-aging skincare line—both of which contain only pure, natural ingredients. In fact, she concocts each of her products with only five or six ingredients such as essential oils, Dead Sea salts, and fruit enzymes.

At Zoē Anti-Aging & Wellness Spa, Polihronis steeps skin in these products during services that benefit the face, body, and nails. Having "plastered mounds of lotion, oils, and Dead Sea Salt body polish" on her daughters and pet porpoise, Polihronis believes her products accommodate even the most sensitive skin. She takes care to evaluate each person's skin prior to treating it, whether embarking on a full-body polish, an anti-aging facial, or a sugaring treatment.

Solace Hair Esthetics' owner Sarah Barrett aims to reinvigorate bodies wearied from what she refers to as modern life's "daily bombardment of chemicals and noise." To this end, she arms her hairstyling staff with sulfate-free and low-ammonia colour products, and charges them to create a quiet and soothing spa environment. In addition to hair services, aestheticians rejuvenate faces with six types of organic facials, and massage therapists wield fragrant essential oils during aromatherapy massages, causing noses to temporarily forget their longing for fresh-baked cookies.

Leena Wilson—the eponymous owner of Leena's Hair Salon—guides her stylists as they wield Paul Mitchell products to cultivate coiffures in a calming crimson- and chocolate-hued salon. Shears artists snip and sculpt locks or perform colouring services to instill head threads with a pop of highlights or an all-over shade shift. Specialty products, such as the Paul Mitchell Awapuhi line, sink deeply into locks to hydrate dry or damaged strands, reducing the likelihood that hairs will poke their master awake for a late-night glass of shampoo.

The salon technicians at L'amour Nails draw out tension through fingers and toes with a wide range of rejuvenating services. Classic manicures, pedicures, and leg hot-stone massages send currents of relaxation coursing through the body like prize stallions wearing marshmallow horseshoes. During manicures, the technicians can adorn nails with multicolored sparkles or painted stripes using OPI Axxium gel or Orly FX Gel, whose no-chip staying power won a rave review in Allure. Both of the professional-grade lacquers can help preserve the 10 tiny artworks for up to two weeks. For a full-body effect, body waxing and eyelash extensions remove or add hair to bolster sleek looks.

Cappa School of Hairstyling & Aesthetics is a private career college that trains and licenses individuals in the art of spa and salon services.

Burgeoning stylists perform a range of hair services, from shampooing and colouring to luxurious finger waves that make tide pools weep salty tears of envy. Beyond hairstyling, the center's aestheticians execute services such as manicures and pedicures, waxing, and makeup applications. Cappa School is open Monday through Friday only.
