Beauty & Spas in Regina

Channelling her nine years in the beauty industry, the owner and chief aesthetician at Devine Esthetics polishes facades with a robust menu of treatments. Her soothing services range from manicures and pedicures to chocolate body wraps and warm-stone massages. During one of five types of facials, Yum gourmet skincare products brighten epidermal layers with organic nutrients gleaned from juices, herbs, and fully lit Christmas trees.

Most businesses rest on a foundation of steel or concrete, but owner Karen Legendre founded Spa Cantik on a single word—a word she learned while traveling through Indonesia: Chant’ tik. Defined as ‘beautiful, lovely, enchanting,’ Spa Cantik doubly mirrors its definition. The luxurious spa is decorated in rich earth-toned colors, towering framed mirrors, and antique furniture. But the décor is not the only embodiment of Chan’ tik; traditional spa and salon services, such as haircuts, nail care, and facials, become VIP excursions in the hands of the attentive staff. And exotic treatments such as Javanese Lulur body treatments—once practiced in Indonesian palaces— and wasabi and organic ginger baths, share the essence of Chan’ tik with every guest.

The head aesthetician at Tasha’s Day Spa draws from more than 15 years of experience to deliver customized aesthetic treatments. Her tenure as a manager of medical aesthetics lends precision to her assessment and treatment of all skin types, but skincare isn’t all that aestheticians do at the spa. Staff members also perform mani-pedis, laser hair removal, and waxing for men and women. They operate amid a cheery atmosphere and a bright décor with lime-green walls and white spherical ceiling hangings, which should not be swung at, as they are only baseballs if you're 21 feet tall. Aestheticians can also travel to design make-up and tint lashes away from the spa.

Pure Blyss Tanning & Day Spa specializes in creating glowing, healthy skin with UV tanning beds and nourishing topical treatments. Staff members diligently change the bulbs on a collection of seven booths and beds, two of which deliver "high-pressure" UVA wavelengths that penetrate deep into the skin for rich, long-lasting colour. Dark Escape lotion speeds tanning while conditioning the skin with vitamin E, and custom Casmara gel masks bathe pores in algae and botanicals to leave faces with an even, firm texture and tone. To heal cracked heels and yellowed toenails, nail technicians lavish feet in hydrating Footlogix mousse, whose oil-free, breathable formula is safe for diabetics to wear in the bathtub in lieu of a bubble beard.

Though many people struggle with losing weight and staying fit, clients at Advanced Body Sculpting get a little extra help with their exercise and weight-loss regimens. This is because they have access to the Ezee-Tone toning and fat-reduction therapy system. This system is an electronic muscle stimulator complete with 24 pads that engage muscles with electronic pulses that attempt to tighten, tone, firm, and lift the body as muscles are forced to contract and relax. Clients can also take advantage of other fitness-complementary services such as heat wraps, which attempt to coax out fat and reduce the appearance of cellulite. The targeted, sweat-inducing heat can also potentially help boost metabolism, circulation, and resistance to hair-dryer wielding villains.
