Regina Beauty and Salons

The trained beauty advisors and aestheticians at Merle Norman Cosmetics boost clients' looks using products from popular brands including OPI, Footlogix, and an in-house line that has been featured in publications such as Town & Country. Located in the Golden Mile Shopping Centre, Merle Norman's team offers an expansive selection of cosmetic products and a full menu of spa treatments and makeup-application services.

The staff at Salon Zenza proclaims that "Love of beauty is taste," and "The creation of beauty is art." The artists in question, a team of Red Seal stylists, wield high-quality products, including Koko ammonia-free hair colour and a vegan-friendly line of Unite styling products.

Within Tansation’s private rooms, high-powered tanning beds cast their bronzing rays upon sun-starved complexions. Its lobby greets guests with a tropical-beach-themed mural that inspires dreams of vacations to the sun while friendly staff members help guests choose which bed is right for their skin tone and desired results. They can also improve body-bronzing experiences by suggesting an aromatic tanning lotion from brands such as Designer Skin, Australian Gold, and JWoww. A beauty technician is available to put the finishing touches on beach-ready makeovers by bedazzling nails with vibrant polish or acrylic nails and ridding eyebrows of unwanted tufts with waxing services. In addition to beautifying guests’ exteriors, the salon employs an on-site massage therapist who whips both mental and corporeal realms into shape through stress-busting reflexology and hot-stone massages.

The staff at Huaxing Salon is well versed in all things pampering. Massage therapists relax and revivify clients by dissipating chronic aches with a thorough kneading. During facials, certified aestheticians give countenances a glow previously only attained by shining a flashlight on one’s cheekbones.

Although Tan FX Sun Tanning Studios ranks as the fastest-growing indoor tanning franchise in Canada, no two locations are alike. That's because the company allows its franchise owners to create fully unique salons with distinct decor and floor plans rather than the same old gingerbread dough and cookie cutter. Nonetheless, the company has an uncompromising stance toward staff quality—they require every employee to possess in-depth knowledge of tanning equipment and products. As a result, employees can develop personalized bronzing programs that account for factors such as skin type.

This personalized attention has the added effect of making a trip to Tan FX feel more like a trip to the spa. Before patrons enter a UV booth or bed, Tan FX suggests following 10 tanning tips that facilitate healthy, gradual gilding. For those who prefer UV-free tanning, the company offers Mystic Tan sprays in a quartet of hues.
