Beauty & Spas in Saskatoon

The technicians at UltraWhite Clinic brighten clients' smiles up to 10 shades in 60 minutes with a deluxe teeth-whitening treatment. Claiming its process triggers little to no sensitivity and is safe for both natural and artificial teeth, UltraWhite's team begins treatment with a brief consultation. Once clients are comfortably reclined, the whitening product is applied to the enamel and a DayLight 5K light shines into mouths, accelerating the conversion of the formula's peroxide into whitening hydroxyl radicals. As the agents lift stains caused by common culprits such as coffee, red wine, and Smurf blood, the hydroxyl radicals seep into the enamel. To enhance treatment results, UltraWhite's staff dispenses supplemental products including whitening toothpastes.

Brandi Heuchert, a self-described “prairie girl,” merges her small-town Saskatchewan upbringing with seven years of experience in her trade. Brandi's interest in holistic and western medical practices led her to the Western College of Remedial Massage Therapy, from which she received her registered massage therapist designation. Recently relocated to Saskatoon’s Fitness Focus gym, Brandi specializes in an array of massage modalities, such as relaxation, therapeutic, and Thai massage, as well as hot-stone therapy and cranial-sacral therapy. Brandi accepts both daytime and evening appointments Tuesday–Saturday.

The steady-handed professionals at Carolyne Esthetics offer something for everyone, performing a smorgasbord of spa and salon treatments. On the salon side, stylists who stay up to date on the latest styles host free consultations before transforming manes with cuts, colours, or perms. Meanwhile, therapists soothe tired muscles with massages, wax handlers strip away unwanted hairs, and nail techs gussy up toes at the foot of leather pedicure chairs that feature built-in heat massagers. Drawing from shelves brimming with premium products from Sothys Skincare and G.M. Collin, aestheticians perform a number of skin treatments, including body scrubs, facials, and microdermabrasions.

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.

Stationed within the stress-free confines of Hocus Pocus Hair Studio, Tara Jones works her own magic on clients’ nails, eyes, and skin. Tara’s manicure and pedicure treatments begin with relaxing soaks, after which she trims, buffs, and massages hands and feet and brushes nails with standard or gel polishes. She also accentuates sultry gazes and livens up portraits of family ancestors with eyelash extensions and brow tinting. Brows too wild to be tamed—and body hair on the chin, lips, and bikini line, for that matter—succumb to swift waxing treatments.

At Lillette's Hair Studio, deft hands shear tresses into new styles, imbue locks with vibrant colours, and enhance natural hair with feather extensions, weaves, and perms. Braided and straight hair extensions lengthen manes until they tickle their owner’s elbows, and eyelash extensions lengthen eye fringe until it tickles its owner’s staring-contest adversary. Lillette’s stylists can also expertly apply their thickening talents to thinning hair and the locks of clients dealing with alopecia. Visitors waiting for their turn in the spotlight sink into cherry-red chairs, skate in socks over the smooth, blond-wood floor, or gaze upon the studio’s contemporary decor.
