Waterloo Spa and Massage

Artistic Esthetic Spa marries old and new in both its spa services and simple black and white decor. Traditional chandeliers hang above asymmetrical couches in the lobby, where clients can sip complimentary coffee before they journey to private treatment rooms or pedicure stations. Though the spa team specializes in Ayurveda-inspired head massages-venerated treatments common in India for thousands of years-they also perform med-spa services such as peels and body-contouring sessions designed to tone skin. And during nail services, technicians invite clients to sit beneath the glow of funky hanging lamps as they perform botanical scrubs and pedicures heightened by high-end OPI polish.

Whether given by a massage therapist's hand, an aesthetician's wand, or a makeup artist's brush, each and every gesture at Tamav Salon & Spa aims to bring about renewal and beautification. Rejuvenation begins with Dermalogica skin treatments such as the Age Smart facial—a cocktail of vitamins and hydroxy acids combined with a face massage to loosen tension and release trapped marbles from the pores. Performed by a licensed therapist, hot-stone, Indian head, and Thai stem face massages unravel the body's tension from sore muscles and joints, and IPL laser technology and electrolysis treatments safely uproot patches of troublesome body hair. Before leaving the spa, clients can also swing by the salon for a new haircut or a pampering mani-pedi, or they can visit the in-house lash expert for a new set of eye curtains.

Bella Spa's expert aestheticians employ a combination of North American and European techniques to lavish rejuvenating spa services upon weary bodies. The staff is passionate about the art of spiritual healing, emphasizing individuality while helping clients to achieve peace and tranquility by explaining hard-to-figure-out magic tricks. Their spread of spa services includes a full menu of massage therapies alongside mani-pedis, organic facials, and waxing services. They also provide a range of tanning services, including access to premium turbo tanning beds.

Ever since elementary school, Yugoslavia native Zdenka Jovic yearned to practice massage therapy for a living. She followed her passion to Canada, where she studied at the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy. With the opening of Zdenka's Divine Therapeutics in 2008, she transformed her passion for massage and its many benefits into a profession. Her practice focuses on massage techniques such as trigger-point release, deep tissue, and relaxation, which makes the body feel as comfortable as a kitten napping in a baseball glove. Her therapeutic services also include wellness procedures such as lymph-node drainage, rehabilitation therapy, and myofascial-release therapy.
