Had a lovely couples massage here with my boyfriend. It was a relaxing atmosphere and the therapists were very professional. After doing so much walking around the city my feet were sore and the massage therapist did amazing feet work. Felt like a million bucks afterword, would highly recommend.

During lockdown, I bid for their ‘self serve facial bar’ for myself and 5 friends. All monies raised went directly to staff. I think this was very generous and thoughtful of the owner and I was very happy to help, while enjoying the service. Upon arrival, the staff greeted us and were very friendly. She gave us the rundown of their COVID procedures they have in place. The spa is licensed so you’re welcome to order a cocktail, but in our case, we opted for water. Staff: the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Our aesthetician, Cassie was fun and very interactive with our self service facial. We all had our individual spot at their bar, and it was a neat hands on approach facial, while being supervised and best of all, included lots of hot face cloths! Location: the recently moved to their Spring Garden location and wow is it ever beautiful! The spa is spacious, clean and relaxing. Also a bonus if you’re a Starbucks fan, as it’s located just at the bottom of the stairs from the spa! Parking however isn’t great but that’s also applied to most places downtown. Services: I can only speak on our service with Cassie. Although it was a self serve facial bar, the attention to detail and the wealth of knowledge that Cassie provides for my daughters was just amazing. It’s never too early to educate teens the importance of a great skin care routine. With so much emphasis on bougee brand make ups, the skin care routine often gets lost. Overall, I highly recommend Remedy Facial bar and spa. Whether it’s with your family, with girlfriends or just on your own, I have no doubt that it’ll be pure bliss.

would like to remove my original review below as Spirit Spa completely changed my mind about my experience with them. The spa manager, Julie, reached out the next day after my treatment to thank me for my feedback. She truly listened to my concerns and assured me that she would be taking my suggestions to the rest of her team to see how they can implement positive changes. She said they always welcome feedback and are happy to make changes to make the client experience better! She also wanted to ensure I was taken care of and asked how they can make it right. She offered me the opportunity to come back and enjoy a 90 minute complementary Super Sweet Skin Facial. I met with Christine, one of the spa’s most experienced estiticians, and she talked me through the process. It was a complete 180 to my previous experience! Dim lighting, under blankets/comfortable, and relaxing music. There was a back massage, facial/neck massage, hand/arm massage, and even a scalp massage at the end included! The products are all organic and smelled INCREDIBLE. Like fresh, juicy fruit. The facial included her examining my skin and doing extractions where needed, and a couple different scrubs/masques. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would go back for sure. So I just wanted to come back and give the spa the review they deserve. I would definitely recommend Spirit Spa, and particularly Christine at the Salter Street location. Thank you Julie and Christine!
