"Great spot for wellness and relaxation! The cold plunge and sauna facilities are top-notch and always super clean, well-maintained and help me reset after a long week of work. The staff here are incredibly friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better. Would highly recommend checking it out!"
"Alter has become our Friday afternoon staple. Great way to end the week and launch into the weekend. The owners / staff are so warm and welcoming. The tea lounge is a perfect end to the experience."
"I love this place in a way that is hard to describe in words. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, kind and welcoming. The facilities are beautiful and show a depth of care and craftsmanship. The experience is powerful, nervous system soothing and incredibly nourishing. Since making these visits a part of my regular routine, I feel healthier, more vital and more balanced than I maybe ever have. If I could give Alter 10 stars, I would. Unpretentious, full of care and integrity- this community is the real deal. Thank you, alter."
"Came here yesterday for the first time and can’t say enough good things about it! The space is incredibly inviting and allows you to take your time cycling through the cold plunges, sauna, and lounge area. The facilitators are wonderful and really guide you through the experience. All the small details have been thought through and everything feels very intentional. Can’t wait to come back!"
"I’ve heard great things about this space being relaxing, clean, and encouraging mindfulness. However, when my friend with textured hair tried to take a shower, there were no shower caps available—even after inquiring at the front desk. Since Alter aims to create 'an approachable space where people feel safe, encouraged, and part of a community,' offering this accommodation would not only benefit everyone but also take an extra step toward making the space even more inclusive. So bring your shower caps before arriving to work"
"It was amazing- not too busy, Marcela and the front desk staff were amazingly kind (Marcela blended special snowballs with our suggested scents), the 2 temps for cold plunge, the awesome bucket shower function… everything was just simple and exactly what I like in a sauna. And oracle decks and tea at the end?!! Amazing."
"My new favourite spot in the city! The vibes are immaculate ✨ Music, ambience, scent, and even lighting is such a vibe. The sauna is spacious with deep seats and lots of air flow. By far the hottest sauna I’ve been in in Toronto. I love the communal ice baths. It makes it a lot easier, for me at least, having other people doing the plunge with me. If you’re not up for a plunge, you can always take advantage of the cold water bucket. The space is clean, everyone is so friendly, and I’m just really excited to be part of this community!"
"Fantastic sauna and cold plunge experience! The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is so relaxing. I love the complimentary tea selection and the thoughtful details like high-quality body care products in the change rooms. Definitely a great spot to unwind and recharge!"
"I rushed home just so I could write this review with everything fresh in mind! After doing some surface level research on electrologists in the area, I sent a message through their website to Julie’s spa based on their incredible Google reviews to inquire about and coordinate a consultation. Right from the prompt email response I got from Julie (over the Easter break too I may add), the personable front desk staff and my electrologist, Megan, I had the absolute best experience! Everyone was extremely knowledgeable, welcoming, efficient and the entire experience was nothing shy of euphoric. I’m beyond excited to have started this journey with such an experienced multidisciplinary team and I am already looking forward to going back! Thank you! -Megan W"
"Fantastic!!!! With age I was getting dark/thick hair on my chin. I started plucking and every other day I would feel it growing back. I looked into electrolysis and decided to try Julie and I am so happy!! After 4 or 5 treatments now and I have not had any growth for 2 months!! Beyond the electrolysis, Julie and her team are friendly, kind and welcoming. Her spa is a reflection of her beautiful spirit and energy - with love all around. Thank you!"
"I was so relaxed and refreshed after Bella did a signature facial to me today. She has great hands with massaging my face and shoulder area. Also, she is very welcoming and sweet! The place is very quiet and relaxing as well. I definitely would love to to try an Indian Head Massage with her next time! ????"
"Julie is an absolutely amazing person! She does great work, I look forward to seeing her again!"
"I recently started going to Julie's Spa and I have been very pleased with my experiences. I went for a pedicure and the lovely lady took extra care of me, took her time and even explained what she was doing at each step because she knew it was first time. After this amazing experience I just had to come back to Julie's Spa for another service. I then got waxing done for the first time and the level of care I received was outstanding. All the staff are super friendly, caring and ready to help. I would highly recommend going here for any of your needs or wants."
"I have been seeing Darci for over 15 years She is excellent. So knowledgeable and professional I get a regular pedicure and facial monthly and am always so pleased with the care she takes with my feet and face I highly recommend you give Darci a call. Julie’s is an excellent Spa and as a bonus there aren’t any stairs. U so look forward to my visits there"
"I have been going to Julie for 13 years for electrolysis and she’s very professional and knows what’s she doing. I know I’m in good hands whenever she’s working on my face! I recently just got a signature facial done by Jenn; she did such a fantastic job! My face is glowing! I would highly recommend this spa!"
"I have been going to Bella for sugaring services for longer than I can remember. She is professional and provides the best quality services in a comfortable, and caring atmosphere. I highly recommend you visit Bella for all of your self care needs. You will never look back!"
