"We did acupuncture here. Bruce is professional and friendly. Giving a 3 star because of the chaotic admin. They didn’t have direct billing but they didn’t ask us to fill out the required form for issuing receipts while we clearly told them we had to submit insurance claims. They didn’t allow us to fill the form online or over the phone so we had to visit the shop again. If you need a receipt make sure you ask about the procedure (they don’t issue the receipt on the spot)."

"Been here a few times in the past and found it to be a decent place to get a massage. I went with my wife today, both opting for 1.5 hrs of full body massage. Unfortunately I did not get the name of the 2 masseuse who gave us the massages today but for mine, all I got was a lot of HARD finger point/elbow pressure the entire time. Technique and placement was ok at best but what made it truly a bad experience was the sudden use of extreme force on sensitive areas without any warning. As I was hoping for a better massage for my wife, I was extremely upset to find out she was almost in tears after hers. As she does not speak Chinese, she attempted to tell her masseuse in perfect English to apply “less pressure, less force” a total of 7 times throughout the 1.5 hr session, only to be “acknowledged” for about 5 seconds each time before going back having to endure the same brutal finger point/elbow pressure. If you like being poked at really hard by fingers and elbows, this place might just be for you but if you need a proper massage, I would stay away. The staff is nice enough and they sell coupons which saves you some $$ if you go on a regular basis but I urge you all to at least try going a few times before deciding on the coupons. Needless to say, we are never coming back for a massage here."

"Best message place in Town! Professionally trained staff, very clean and well maintained spacious room. This place is always booked, be sure to call ahead of time!"

"I Just had the WORST massage with the masseuse named Tiffany. There are massages you don't want to end coz its that good but with her I couldn't wait till it was over. I came out worst than when i came in. I Don't wanna go in details but it was so uncomfortable.. I feel like ive been ripped off today. $90 gone lol"

"James thank you so much for your service Highly recommend"

"My only to-go place for massage ????????‍♀️!! Best ever !!"

"I haven’t visited here since COVID. I brought two friends who were 1st-time customers. I asked the service person to recommend 3 masseuses because my regular one would be absent. In the end, all three of us were so satisfied and they asked me to visit here much more often! Massages not only helps physical therapy but also mental health too!"

"It was clean inside and I was greeted right away. I had a acupuncture appointment with Bruce. He was very knowledgeable and try to make me feel as comfortable as possible. He also explained every step as well."

"Such a cute salon, everyone working there is so nice. The cuts are precise and perfect. They take their time to make sure it's exactly what you want. Cut my hair and my mom's (two very different styles) and did a killer job on both! Thank you! 2023: As usual, Helen gives such a good cut. Always understands the assignment."

"Cute little spot! Jessie is a wonderful hairstylist (and human being in general :) ), always pleasant to chat with while getting my hair cut! All of the staff I've encountered have been very welcoming, friendly, and helpful! This is my new preferred spot for haircuts. I'm very pleased with my experience. :)"

"Helen and Alexis are awesome people and also really good at what they do. I've been referring people to them for years. I always get compliments on my hair or nails after having visited. They are my salon of choice in Ottawa."

"I've been seeing Alexis since 2011 and wouldn't trust anyone else in the world with my esthetics services. Though I've known Jessie for a shorter time, the same goes for her and my hair. Both are not only talented but also incredibly kind and hilarious. They both immediately understood my tastes and personality and helped me choose styles/services accordingly. Emily at reception is a sweetheart, and accommodates any special and/or last-minute requests graciously. An experience at Pygmalion is a delight from start to finish, and I always leave looking and feeling fantastic!"

"I love Pygmalion Spa SO MUCH. the vibe is incredibly unpretentious and you feel like you're hanging out with great friends. Helen is a superstar hairstylist who has given me the best cuts and colours of my life. the services Alexis provides are perfect and executed with care. A real gem in the city!"

"It was my first time in the shop the other day and all the girls were incredibly kind and welcoming. I had a haircut and wax service and they each listened to what my needs were and made me feel really comfortable and at home! We ended up chatting up a storm which is rare with other salons I've been too! Already booked another service! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!"

"Pygmalion Spa is a hidden gem in Chinatown. Owner Alexis, front of house manager Emily and stylist Helen are an exceptional team. Whether you're visiting for esthetics or hair, you will be greeted with a hot coffee and warm atmosphere. You are never rushed out the door, as there is care and time put into each aspect of your visit. I have recommended their services time and time again, and will continue to do so. If you are looking for a local spot, visit Pygmalion!"

"I've had services from both Helen and Alexis and would recommend them both! Pygmalion Spa offers gender neutral pricing and have vegan hair care options. The studio is both welcoming and professional, including upholding health & safety standards."
