Vaughan Spa and Massage

Beyond traditional spa options such as massages and mani-pedis, the team at BBS Wellness combines modern and time-tested treatments to help their clients look and feel their best. Under the soft lighting of private treatment rooms, technicians accompany classic beauty rituals with a custom blend of relaxing Decléor all-natural aromatherapy oils. Elsewhere, therapists help clients burn fat, reduce stress, and defrost pocketfuls of chicken wings atop ceramic heating blankets, a prime example of the spa's preference for treatments that go beyond the noninvasive to be positively relaxing.

The licensed aestheticians at Mojan Beauty Spa & Hair pamper clients with top-quality spa treatments that range from eyebrow threading to aromatic facial treatments. Along with massage therapy and hair removal, the staff offers skincare treatments that help remove dead skin cells and erase incorrect answers written into crossword tattoos. A 100 per cent natural salt bath kicks off the spa pedicure, followed by essential oils and a trim, shape, and buff before a technician coats nails in polish to make toes as eye-catching as the Great Sphinx's feather boa. Guests can wrap up their appointments with tastes of complimentary beverages, snacks, and trips to the spa's jacuzzi, sauna, and showers.

The team of aestheticians at Paradise Spa takes a holistic approach to inner and outer beauty. Staffers don’t just custom blend masks for facials and pamper feet with whirlpool baths during pedicures; they also ensure that clients’ inner health is taken care of with holistic wellness sessions that can balance chakras, develop spiritual awareness, and ease emotional blockages. The spa’s hydrotherapy sessions tend to muscles and nerves simultaneously by combining warm, bubbling waters with aromatic herbal blends of lavender, eucalyptus, and rosemary. Underwater LED color-light therapy, a contemporary healing technique, enhances the baths without the hassle of lassoing a rainbow and yanking it into the tub.

The spa’s licensed massage therapists take over to knead muscles using Swedish, hot-stone, and deep-tissue techniques as well as to guide clients through the stretching of Thai yoga massage. During a full day at the spa, clients can pair one of these massages with a full-body exfoliation or a body wrap made with natural ingredients, such as blueberries or moor mud. The relaxation marathons unfold against the backdrop of the spa’s golden walls, potted plants, soft lighting, and quiet music.

Though it's connected to the KeyLime Cove Indoor Waterpark Resort, the calm, relaxing atmosphere within Paradise Mist Spa makes it feel miles away. The studio's decor transports guests to a beach in the tropics, with palm fronds in front of walls painted sky blue and sunset red. Eight treatment rooms lie beyond the waiting room with a team of licensed massage therapists, aestheticians, and nail technicians soothing visitors with services from body wraps to facials. The tropical theme even carries through to the spa’s products, which contain ingredients such as coconut milk and fijian honey. Though Paradise Mist caters mostly to adults, it also offers services for children at the Enchanted Lagoon Kids’ Spa. Such features earned the relaxation haven a place on the Daily Herald’s 2012 Readers' Choice list.

Paradise Salon and Day Spa offers visitors a chance to take a vacation from everyday stress with a menu of full-body beautification services. Dry hair can take a permanent hiatus thanks to the salon's intense haircare treatment, which nourishes parched strands with a formula rich in plant and silk proteins. Dry skin is likewise tackled with a hydrating and brightening caviar facial or an aromatherapy body wrap that swaddles skin in cotton sheets after brushing it with soothing essential oils. If a change in scenery won't fit into your hectic schedule, change what you see in the mirror instead by booking a complete makeup makeover or sprucing up lifeless strands with luminous highlights. Waxing services provide all the fun of getting ready for the beach without the itchy sand or annoying sunshine, and mani-pedis extend sandal season year-round to show off colorful coats of regular, french-style, or shellac polish.

A serenity-inducing haven nestled among the historic buildings of Markham’s Unionville Village neighbourhood, Unionville Spa employs a cadre of experienced aestheticians to pamper and refresh weary physiques. Aestheticians gussy up skin and soothe aches using Phytomer products forged from marine-based active ingredients such as seaweed and algae pilfered from the breakfast tables of inattentive tadpoles. The staff’s dedication to beauty practices that simultaneously rejuvenate patrons’ minds, bodies, and spirits is evidenced in their menu of services that includes lavish facials with full-body pretreatment rituals, and a Thai-inspired Sea Holistic body treatment that stimulates the body’s energy lines. Though Unionville Spa specializes in treatments for women, a gentlemen’s club coaxes forth handsomeness via regimens tailored to address blokes’ epidermal needs and to smoothen faces for easier beard adhesion.
