Richmond, BC Spa and Massage

La Raffinage Salon & Spa rains luxurious spa services upon locals like diamond dewdrops on grass blades with clogged pores. During a 90-minute Yon-Ka refinement facial ($95), La Raffinage’s expert aestheticians apply high-quality Yon-Ka products to relax and revitalize the skin, eliminating toxins, oxygenating the skin, and strengthening skin's resistance to the elements. The 60-minute Reiki energy treatment ($85) gives clients access to a Reiki specialist who'll use the ancient healing art to tap into the body’s energy waves. The compassionate practitioner will place hands over the body to unblock stymied energy. Stress will melt away like butter under a heated magic wand, with spiritual balance, physical tranquility, and the desire to burst into a Bollywood dance number following thereafter.

Ocean Breeze Spa revitalizes bodies with a variety of hair, body, and skincare treatments. On the hair side, haircuts and colouring can add blunt or angled layers or a burst of blond, and eyebrow threading and waxing services remove hair from every inch of the body. Stylists also straighten frizzy hair for up to four months with CHI Enviro and keratin smoothing treatments, and they lengthen locks with hair extensions and spaghetti.

On the spa side, relaxation and aromatherapy massages soothe tense muscles with gentle strokes and essential oils. Body-exfoliation treatments, which take place in a heated room that pipes in soft music, clear away rough and uneven skin, and facial treatments such as microdermabrasion fight age spots and acne scars.
