"I have had the pleasure of Parthena’s services for approximately 15 years and have never been disappointed! Parthena has incredible integrity and wonderful skills. I have had waxing, pedicures, facials and micro blading. I would never hesitate to recommend this lovely lady!"

"I’ve had such wonderful experiences - Parthena always takes such good care of me and I feel so pampered. My skin is amazing after each facial- so glowing and hydrated. - She’s caring and always has been excellent in all my visits."

"I have been coming here for over 10 years and had another lovely, relaxing spa treatment at Harmonia Experience Spa this week which included a facial with microdermabrasion and Osmosis Vitaminin A Infusion leaving my skin luminous, and fully hydrated. All the while Parthena was most accommodating and made sure I was completely comfortable and relaxed. In fact, I was so relaxed that I fell asleep. I came out of there hours later feeling 100% energized with a full manicure, pedicure (love the gorgeous, trendy colour you selected. You have such good taste!). And thank you for skilfully shaping my eyebrows as well. Truly what I needed at this time of the year! I made a promise to myself that I will get these treatments more frequently in the coming year - particularly the facials! Thank you again Parthena for your expert advice on daily skincare. It has certainly helped me. You are truly a Pro!"

"I got my microblading done and I am so in love with my eyebrows! The spa is really clean and the customer service is always great. I also get my facials done by Parthena and she really takes care of my skin. Definitely a must go to Spa!"

"Buyer beware: Don't purchase gift certificates from Parthena at Harmonia Spa. She won't complete the prepaid services nor provide a refund for services not done. I received a gift certificate for a spa package:1 hr facial, full body massage, manicure & pedicure in March 2021(5 months expiration date). Still in a pandemic, I waited to book my services in the summer. When I called Parthena, she said she was very busy(limited availability & working hours)due to her babysitting responsibilities & planning a family wedding. She told me that if I didn't book my appointment by the August expiry date, my entire gift certificate would become invalid. Since she didn't have enough time, she wouldn't complete all the prepaid services & wouldn't fulfill them at a later date. Parthena’s unwillingness to extend the deadline & her refusal to complete all the prepaid services was surprising.This showed a lack of integrity, greed, & poor business sense. If she didn't have time in August, she should have made time at a later date & fulfilled all the services that were previously paid for. This would have been the right & fair thing to do. Because she had already received payment, there was no effort on her end to be accommodating & to complete all the services. Although she was late, when I attended my appointment, Parthena was pleasant & tried to create a comfortable environment despite her space being small, at the back of a busy & noisy hair salon, which lacked a spa feeling. However, I did enjoy my conversation with Parthena & my 40 minute facial which was supposed to be 1 hour. Parthena didn't do the manicure, pedicure, or the full body massage that was part of the gift certificate. Instead, she quickly massaged my toes & waxed my eyebrows as a consolation prize, hoping that I would be just as equally content had I received the more expensive and longer prepaid services that were part of my gift certificate. Despite all of this, I still tipped Parthena, didn't write a negative review nor mentioned any of this to my friend (trying to prevent any uncomfortable feelings between her & Parthena). Fast forward to March 2024, I received another gift certificate with a longer expiration date (March 2025).Trying to avoid any disappointment & being taken advantage of again, I avoided booking an appointment. Months passed & my friend asked why I hadn’t used my current gift certificate & I finally told her what had previously transpired with Parthena. My friend spoke to Parthena who apparently was “embarrassed” & together they decided that in addition to this year’s current services I would receive a pedicure, manicure & eye brow wax at my next visit. I'm unsure if the additional services were complimentary and self-initiating on Parthena’s end in compensation for my last visit or if my friend paid for them to avoid any conflict or uneasiness with Parthena. Two weeks ago, when I attempted to make an appointment with Parthena, she was very defensive & argumentative when I politely requested that there should be enough time at my appointment to complete all the services unlike last time. Rather than apologizing & reassuring me that she would have enough time to cover all services, Parthena concluded the conversation by stating that she would not do any services on me and with no refund. Refusing prepaid services without a refund and yelling at a customer is unacceptable. Parthena needs to keep her emotions in check, show accountability for her actions, be reasonable & accommodating, and come up with fair solutions for her clients in unfavorable circumstances. Two weeks have passed since Parthena refused the services on my current gift certificate. She hasn’t reached out and hasn’t provided a refund or any reimbursement for services not done. If Parthena decides to decline previously paid services, she needs to compensate her clients. This is the right thing to do. I'm hoping that there will be a resolution to our situation in a fair, ethical, and timely manner without having to take it to the next level."

"I've been going to Harmonia Spa for more than a year and I'm very happy with the great service that Parthena offers. She's quick, professional, very pleasant and friendly. Thank you!"

"I recently had a sport pedicure at Harmonia Spa, and it was truly excellent. The service provided by the lady was not only skillful but also exceptionally friendly and professional. I highly recommend their services."

"Parthena is amazing! So quick, efficient, positive and a great energy! No soreness or itchiness afterwards."

"Yan is amazing. I’m glad she’s my therapist. I highly recommend her. Thank you so much !"

"HEADS UP, they dont take direct billing to most places contrary to their website, and this wasnt informed until the end of the appt. Also, no where in their pre appt email had specific instructions on how to get into the building before 9AM, and you have to call prior to figure out how to get into the space. This wasted 10min of my time and the rmt cited this as a reason to shorten my appt while charging for the full hour."

"The Cook Road location is in an old building that looks like a teardown, and had a strong mold smell :("

"Great massage but she doesn’t bill directly w/ insurance and does not mention until the massage is done, different than other momentum locations where they first tell you how they personally work and then do the service."

"I found this place on Google and the reason why I chose this place was it's close to my home and sky train station as well. But after I got a RMT service for the first time from Noel, I was very happy and decided to see him often as many as I can. He was very professional and understood what I needed. Also, he was very kind and gentle. I highly recommend someone who has experience with muscle pain. Thank you, Noel!"

"Noel is an exceptional massage therapist who provides personalized treatments with a skilled touch and compassionate approach. From the moment I entered his treatment room, I felt completely at ease and welcomed. His attention to detail and focus on the whole person make for an outstanding massage experience."

"Suki is great. She attended to my muscle issue with good pressure on the areas. I always feel good after the massage."

"I have visited many other RMT in the past few years, and Noel is the one that I truly love to go back again and again. He knows your needs and will always be able to fix the problem accordingly."

"Samina explained the procedure very clearly and performed the most amazing job. I will definitely visit her spa again as I highly recommend her."

"Samina was amazing. I called about micro blading and she was able to see me a few days time. Her business was easy to find and spotless. She was very professional and explained the process before and during. She made sure I was happy with the shade and shape of my brow before starting. I really enjoyed her company and the conversation. I made an appointment to get my hair cut before I left. When I got home, I had a text reviewing after care to ensure excellent results. I would absolutely recommend her for her many services"

"I had the RF facial skin tightening treatment done, along with the dermaplaning. Samina was very thorough with the treatments, explaining step by step everything involved. My skin looked beautiful after the treatment. Would highly recommend Samina for her services. Her salon is lovely!"

"I have visited HDSC several times for the RF treatment & facials. Samina is an experienced professional who looks after every detail of the services provided. She is friendly and very helpful. She uses high quality professional products only. I have become a regular customer due to her professionalism & reasonable prices. Thanks Samina ????"

"I’ve come to HDSK for multiple services including facials, haircuts/color and hair removal and Samina never disappoints. With great attention to detail and patient demeanour, Samina takes the time to understand my unique needs and delivers high quality work every time. The spa is set up beautifully with a calming ambiance… I’m a customer for life"

"Samira is great. She right away makes you feel comfortable. Her home salon is amazon, beautiful and very professional. If you need a great spa, locally owned and operated, I higly recommend Honey Drop Skin Care."

"I had microblading for the first time and Samina was fantastic. She is a true professional, patient and took time to really listen to what I was looking for. The results were great. I would highly recommend using her services. Thank you Samina!"

"Samina , the owner of Honey Drop Skin care is very Knowledgeable, professional, friendly and passionate about what she does . She explains the process step by step . I had an RF treatment today and left there feeling great . Her prices are very reasonable and I highly recommend giving her a try , you will not be disappointed. Thanks Samina ????"

"Love this place been coming here for over 15 years. They are super clean. Natalie the owner and her mom are wonderful. They treat us like family. And the prices are super reasonable cheaper than anywhere. They offer alot of services as well. If your looking for a comfortable atmosphere this is the place to go."

"My daughter and I went at this salon, The service was one of the best. They were very nice, honest, trustworthy and sweet."

"I have been to many places, but after going to (all about you spa) I will never change! I drive an hour to get to this place, but it is so worth it ! The services are just amazing ! And it all starts the minute you walk in, you will be offered tea, coffee, hot chocolate or a bottle of water ! Then the services offered are just outstanding! It’s a cozy and relaxing place ! This spa deserves 10 stars !!"

"My mother and I had a fantastic experience at All About You spa. From the time I arrived to the time I left I was treated to the best service. My massage, body scrub and pedicure was done expertly and with great care. My mother was so happy she teared up a bit. I would recommend this business to everyone."

"All I have to say is wow! This spa is definitely worth a visit, or several visits! Not only are the services amazing and very reasonably priced, but the customer service is like none other. They truly make you feel like family and take such good care of their clients. I know this through my own experience (over a span of 4-5 years) but also how I see them treat other clients. Finding a business where they truly do care for their clients and ensuring to provide the best possible customer service is rare. I highly recommend All About You Studio & Spa, you will not be disappointed!"

"I bought a Groupon as a gift for my husband and he LOVED his massage/ body scrub. This Spa is very clean and it's smells amazing in there! I had a great conversation with Natalie she was very kind, welcoming and informative. I will book an appointment for a facial soon. We truly recommend this beautiful Spa!"

"I have nothing but great things to say about All About You Spa. The staff is incredibly kind and genuine. The atmosphere is warm, relaxed and welcoming. The services are outstanding (have had a facial, massage, mud bath and tanning there) and the name of the business is exactly how they make you feel. I recommend this spa to anyone and everyone looking for an amazing experience every time."

"Yesterday I had a massage that was totally blissful. From the moment you walk it in the door I feel peace. In the massage room it smells lovely and the bed is warm and then the massage begins with soft music. Totally recommend this place. I will be back."

"Christal is simply amazing! You can tell she genuinely cares about making sure you leave feeling better than when you came in. Highly, highly recommend."

"I have been going to Christal for massages this past year, and I have to say that she is truly one of the nicest, professional and knowledgeable RMTs I have gone to. I have severe nerve pain resulting from a sports injury, and Christal was able to relieve my pain by pinpointing the areas spot on. She is clearly a very experienced RMT in all aspects of injuries, pain, and uses massage therapy to heal the patient. I have never felt relief as I did when I see Christal. Another major reason why I will continue seeing Christal is because she is so empathetic - she goes over the time limit (when she can) because she sees how much pain I am in. I am so thankful for her! Thank you so much Christal! I HIGHLY recommend her!!"

"I was pulled to Holistic Roots when my massage therapist started there. Laura is absolutely the best massage therapist I have ever visited, and I will follow her wherever she goes. She also referred me to the physio, Kurt. Again, I have found another favourite therapist. Kurt does fantastic work. He is a manual therapist so you never feel like sessions are wasted. He is incredibly intelligent and charismatic, so you get a fantastic treatment and never need to feel nervous."

"Holistic Roots is a wonderful establishment. I received an amazing hot stone massage there. I highly recommend getting this service done at Holistic Roots. They also offer a variety of services and are very professional. I want to check out their naturopathic medicine. I would highly recommend Holistic Roots for physiotherapy too. The staff are sympathetic and knowledgeable. Holistic Roots also generously donates to many of the charities I support in the Ottawa area."

"Clean, cozzy, and Professional location. Staff themselves are fantastic too. My last massage (Christal) went 20 minutes over the reserved time. When offering a small tip, she said to save it for the next one. Ultimately, I wish I could give more than 5 stars. I also recommend Dave for massage therapy, and Jodi for chiro. Never had a bad experience here. This has got to be one of the best - and most unnoticed - massage clinics in Ottawa. Thank you."

"I go to this place specifically because of my massage therapist who works out of there. However in comparison to other places it's definitely not the best. It's extremely clean and nicely decorated. They do offer physiotherapy as well. They don't do direct billing, there's no dedicated receptionist, & parking is on the street so you have to be careful. My massage therapist, Tomoko Honda, is terrific though so I really don't mind going anywhere she is!"

"No BS therapy! ...Quality care at affordable rates. It’s a simple space, with a community grass-roots feel to the joint. It’s about the therapy. The clinic is located in an older building with character, gives me the impression lots of deep healing has happened in this space, you get the sense this team really loves what they do. Booking an appointment was super easy online. Strong Covid protocols in place. I felt safe and cared for. I got to see David Sabourin, who’s a multi-licensed therapist who can offer RMT as well as osteopathy. He was very present, had great hands, and is an excellent and compassionate communicator. He holds space in a lovely way. The interactions I had with other staff, came across as being genuine. Would 100% recommend."

"Really happy with my massage from Christal and grateful for other reviewers who took the time to mention her- it helped so much and I will be going back."
