Beauty & Spas in Winnipeg

By pairing UV and UV-free tanning treatments with resort-like facilities, Tan FX has become Canada's fastest growing indoor-tanning franchise over the past decade. The company's numerous locations—scattered throughout Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba—feature modern UV-tanning beds and booths capable of bronzing bodies in as little as 10 minutes and UV-free Mystic Tan systems that apply color in seconds. To ensure all tanning contraptions are used safely and properly, Tan FX keeps its Smart Tan–certified staff up to date on the latest industry knowledge with online training programs and in-person interviews with the sun.

Tan FX is a full-service, upscale tanning retreat staffed with friendly Smart Tan professionals who are committed to serving the needs of pallid pelts with the latest tanning technology. Tan FX's posh bronzing beds feature digital timers and an audio system with stereo input so that simulated sun soakers may relax or jam to a whale-and-dolphin duet. Session times and prices vary by bed, from $9 for 20 minutes in the Ulimate Envy 143 turbo bed to $10 for 10 minutes in a Sundome 548V stand-up booth, with 100-minute increments also available for all beds ($33+). For a UV-free tanning alternative, the Mystic Tan spray-tanning system ($35 value/session) gilds skin tones with a paraben-free solution composed of wholesome ingredients, including green-tea extract and açaí. The Mystic Tan system airbrushes on a streak-free golden-bronze shine that softens and moisturizes skin with aloe vera, the desert's answer to maple syrup.

Renee Hughes leads the team at Body Logic Wellness Center with a skill set that could put a one-man band to shame—she's a master aesthetician, licensed massage therapist, certified colon hydrotherapist, Endermologie and lipomassage technician, and certified electrologist. Hughes’s team rises to meet her impressive pedigree as they dole out detoxifying wellness treatments, apply eyelash extensions and permanent makeup, and wield lasers to eradicate hair and land-speeders double-parked outside the office.

Q&A with the Owner Sometimes the little things make all the difference. Do you bake any supplementary services into your main services? Complimentary coffee, tea, and treats. What are some of your most popular services? What do you think clients love them so much? Laser hair removal. Again, the charging by time factor. Do you agree with the phrase "beauty is on the inside?" Why or why not? Yes. People are beautiful for who they are. It's the outside that sometimes changes how confident a person is. That's their own personal thoughts?no one else's. Is there anything else you want to add that we didn't cover? [We are] the only place in Winnipeg that charges by time for our services, versus by treatment area. Someone can get laser hair removal on their upper lip, chin, and underarms all for the same cost.

Visits to Essentique Spa Salon might last anywhere from 15 minutes to three hours, but no matter how long or short the visit, clients leave the spa feeling refreshed and cared for. Every service on the menu is tended to with the same level of care and attention, from quick and effective revitalizing eye treatments that fight lines and puffiness to lengthy spa-day packages that serve as mini vacations. Each service uses a combination of touch, scent, and product to induce serenity in clients. The skincare menu pampers complexions with specialized facials, such as the Outer Peace acne facial and the Green Science anti-aging facial. Treatments aren't limited to the face, as caribbean hand and foot therapies can soften the skin of overworked digits with a scrub and seaweed mask. Stylists cut and color new looks at their stations. Spa therapists tame aches with modalities ranging from Swedish and deep tissue to Ayurveda-inspired chakra-balancing techniques. Even waxing appointments endeavour to be a soothing experience by using essential oils to stave off redness and irritation. The spa menu also includes makeup applications, mani-pedis, and body wraps.

While the Fountain of Youth's location in the wild is as of yet unknown, when it's found, it will probably contain a large amount of the vitamins, plant extracts, and antioxidants that have been discovered to stave off the visible signs of aging. Forever Young Spa Boutique's goal is to connect clients with the treatments and products that harness these anti-aging effects. Its treatments take many different shapes and include photofacials, mink eyelash extensions, and several types of manicures and pedicures. The backbone of all these indulgent spa services, though, is Forever Young's curated selection of products. These include therapeutic essential oils, La Biosthetique Paris's makeup collection, and SeaVital products derived from Dead Sea minerals. The staff also uses extremely customizable Dermalogica skincare products that are all natural and never tested on animals or particularly realistic action figures.
