Let’s face it: going to the spa is expensive, but you still deserve a little luxury in your life. Instead of shelling out hundreds for an appointment, stock up on spa products from these West Queen West beauty boutiques so you can give yourself an at-home spa day anytime you want.
There’s no way around it: Toronto, with its yearly marathon winters, has a climate that’s particularly unkind to our skin. The cold air that hangs around for way too long dries out our faces and hands, but Jacob and Sebastian can fix all that. Start your spa day at home with a luxurious bubble bath and towel off with a Mukula bath towel. Next, dip into your arsenal of Tata Harper skincare and Mor fragrances to feel like a new you.
The awesome thing about creating your own spa experience at home is that you can do things exactly how you want. If you want to buff up all your digits after a good soak in the foot tub, your wish is your command. Sekai specializes in hand and foot care and do-it-yourselfers can choose from a wide range of natural, organic and fair-trade beauty products. Go ahead, give yourself the royal treatment.
One of the best spas in all of Toronto is at 986 Queen West, but if you just can’t spare the time or money, give yourself the next best thing by taking the spa home with you. Alessandra, the owner, has built up Laya by using only the best quality spa products so you can enjoy the same manicures and pedicures at home. To really bring Laya home, ask Alessandra for some of her yoga tips for ultimate relaxation.
This is one of the hippest spa franchises in the city, with young staff earnestly trying to do the best possible job and a line of spa products designed to work on a number of body parts. Once you step inside one of their fresh and clean spas, you’ll be tempted to skip the at-home day and relax in the hands of a pro. But one look at their shelves of reasonably-priced products will have you splurging on a new line of at-home beauty essentials.
