"First impression was the cleanliness of the space, the brightness of the lounge area and further, the pedi area. Andre gave my massage. Awesome. I would go back and request him. I had a pedi (minus the polish) with a hot paraffin wax finish. Pictured in the photo is my feet in plastic bags wrapped in wax. My feet were floating after. Another awesome."
"Had an amazing Swedish massage by Lexi. Only thing I wish was different was the fact that I could hear outside noise (talking, dishes?) in my massage room this time. Takes away from the relaxing atmosphere they work to create within the room."
"We loved our experience at elm spa. Its location is very suitable if you are living anywhere in downtown. As we got to the location, the staff there were so welcoming and kind - they took our bags for me and placed it in a secure location while we had our massage. The place was very COVID friendly. They provided us with a robe and flip flops during my time at the spa. Before our appointment, they welcomed us to relax in the garden room where we were offered water and enjoyed the calming environment. We got the 80 min aromatherapy massage and it was so worth it. Andre the RMT was amazing and made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend this place to everyone and it made us feel relaxed leaving. It is worth every penny."
"My children enjoyed their first spa day ever, and they had the finest time. They enjoy the kind welcome. Staff are friendly and accommodating, and they would like to return for more services. Keep it up, Elmspa. You are fantastic! ????"
"Definitely an oasis in the middle of downtown Toronto. Loved the access to the wet sauna and infrared room. Calming ambiance. Very knowledgeable massage therapist. Definitely will be back. Highly recommend!"
"Cozy, quiet spot for basic spa services. Price point is decent and reflects minimal amenities (quiet bamboo seating area, steam room, one shower, tea and water). Not ideal for couples/friend groups who want to book services at the same time, as they often only have one aesthetician. The pedicure chair doesn’t accommodate petite people- I was moved to a much less comfortable chair. It’s a good alternative to typical nail salons and/or fancier spas if you’re looking for a quiet escape/minimal services."
"First time here and I had the best massage ever. The facial and products used were all very good quality for my skin. I'll definitely visit again."
"I was visiting Toronto for two days and happened to find this gem. I had a wonderful massage with Lilia and very relaxing time between the wet sauna and the infra red light dry sauna. I felt so relaxed afterwards. It was wonderful!"
"A little day Spa is my heaven on earth. The service and treatment are exceptional with very professional, friendly and thoughtful staff. We were spoiled by tea and treats. The place is very clean and cosy, everything we need to get comfortable and enjoy the massage. The appointment is very easy make and Jan always goes above and beyond to arrange a schedule. 100% recommend this spa."
"I had THE most incredible experience with A Little Day Spa. I was in town for a long weekend and decided to treat myself to a massage. When I called to scheduled my appointment I was treated with such kindness. I felt like I was talking to a friend! When I arrived for my appointment I was greeted with such warmth and beautiful smiling faces. I had such an amazing experience that I booked 2 additional appointments while I was still in town. I must say I had THE best massages of my life!!! Ben truly has a gift and I HIGHLY recommend him. Jen has such wonderful energy and is so friendly. They both made my experience so memorable and I 100% would fly back to Toronto just to go back to A Little Day Spa!"
"I had reflexology and was extremely happy with my service! It came with a little neck and shoulder massage as well. The service was incredible and I enjoyed my tea and little snacks that came with it. I will definitely be coming back!"
"This was one of the best spa experiences we have ever had! We were greeted which such enthusiasm and kindness it was lovely! The staff are very knowledgeable at their craft! You leave feeling so relaxed it’s incredible! Jen is the best! Her personality, kindness, and her light is contagious and makes you feel the same way! 10/10 experience! Would recommend to anyone!"
"I had an amazing experience at Little Day Spa The atmosphere was relaxing, and the staff was welcoming. My therapist tailored the session to my needs, using just the right pressure to release tension. I left feeling completely refreshed and pain-free. Highly recommend for anyone seeking top-notch massage therapy! Best family spa in the area."
"Been going here for over 1 year now and it’s always been consistently good. Jan and her team are always kind and they create a very relaxing atmosphere. Right when you enter, they truly pamper you and offer drinks + treats. Thank you so much and can’t wait to see you soon!"
"This was the BEST massage I’ve had in the city! The tea was so lovely and the customer service was incredible! We left smiling so much! It was truly amazing work. The girls really knew the exact pressure points and listened to what my body needed. Will be coming back as soon as possible"
"Had a great foot reflexology treatment here. Exceptional service, everyone was so friendly and truly went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcome - including offering tea & little treats to enjoy during the service. Highly recommend checking the spa out!"
"Very professional and friendly staff. Francesca did an amazing job with massage and facial! Love the products that are natural and made by spa owner. They smell so nice. I felt calm, relaxed and glowing. I'm definitely coming back soon!"
"I had my first Indian head massage experience with Bernadette. It was beyond relaxing! A really deep scalp massage, along with the neck chest and shoulders. I genuinely had one of the best sleeps I’ve have in awhile! Not to mention the space is very relaxing - they offer tea and some light snacks while you wait. This is something I haven’t seen in awhile and I really appreciated it ????????"
"I booked the Signature Facial for my birthday and had an amazing experience! As soon as I walked into the spa, the hectic energy of Queen Street faded away and I was offered slippers and a ginger tea. My facial with Bernadette was wonderful - she did some extraction, but not too much (I was going out for dinner later, so that was perfect for me), and included a head, neck, arm, and foot massage - heavenly!! My skin looks glowy today. Would definitely book again!"
"Love this place - the ambience is so relaxing and the little things like tea, juice, chocolates make such a difference. Jess was so amazing"
"Had a massage with Alba! It was incredible! She is strong with a great relaxing flow. This is my 2nd massage with her and I finally slept so well and deep after the 1st one. Both were very memorable and I highly recommend her services. She does not disappoint!"
"Lynn J is amazing. I have been coming to Laya spa for many years now (more than 10 years) and the team and energy of the space is wonderful. Always leave feeling renewed and blissful."
"Absolutely loved my experience at Laya. I was dealing with some pretty brutal seasonal allergies, and they were able to book me very fast! I got a 60 minute massage and then used the steam room. When I left I felt immensely better! Ronalyn Dziklinski, my masseuse, was fantastic and so sweet."
"I’ve been going to this lovely spa for facials for a couple of years now and have always enjoyed my experience. I recently started seeing Bernadette for facials. Her facials are so thorough and her massages are so deeply relaxing - it’s hard not to fall asleep. During a recent facial I felt like I was floating on water - as if her hands were like soothing waves. Thanks Laya Spa and Bernadette!"
"The service and care at this spa were truly impeccable. The new management has elevated the experience to a whole new level. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed and made to feel completely at home. Upon arrival, I was given slippers in my exact shoe size and provided with the softest, most luxurious towel and robe. Before my session, I spent an hour in the sauna, which was absolute perfection and set the tone for a deeply relaxing experience. My appointment was with Yuko, and she went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable, safe, happy, and thoroughly pampered. The head-to-toe session began with a soothing foot massage, complemented by warm towels, a heating pad, and an overall sense of comfort. This was followed by a full-body scrub that left my skin feeling deeply cared for, rejuvenated, and incredibly soft. After a refreshing hot shower to rinse off the scrub, I enjoyed an amazing body massage and then a scrumptious facial. The spa uses organic skincare products, which felt luxurious and nourishing on my skin, leaving my face soft and radiant. The session concluded with a heavenly head massage that completely melted my stress away—I even fell asleep! Yuko mentioned that falling asleep was the greatest compliment, as it showed how relaxed I felt. What made the experience even more special was Yuko’s incorporation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). She pressed on acupuncture points, explaining the connection between my body stiffness and the organs responsible, offering a holistic understanding of my body’s needs. After the session, I relaxed in the cozy lounge/tea room, where I was offered a blanket, freshly brewed loose-leaf tea, and some cookies. Before leaving, I explored their incredible selection of intentionally chosen products. I ended up purchasing a self-care bath salts bundle that included essential oil, a candle, freshly dried flowers like lavender and roses, and bath salts. I also bought an organic eye cream from South Africa, every ingredient clean and ethically chosen. Everything was organic and thoughtfully curated, adding a fun and indulgent touch to my self-care routine. I cannot express enough how impressed I am with the care, attention to detail, and overall experience. This spa is a 10/10, and I’ll definitely be recommending it to friends and family!"
"I have had a pleasure of booking my facial at Damara Yorkville and had a splendid experience from the moment I walked into the spa until the moment I left. The service is incredible, the price is reasonable and they used only the highest quality products for the facial. I would like to say a separate thank you to Carlisle who went out of his way to bring me my golden chain I forgot after the facial. I have to admit I have never seen such a top notch service in any other spa and will definitely be back to try their other services. Highly recommend this beautiful & cozy spa in the heart of Yorkville. Thank you and keep up the good work!"
"We came here as part of my friend's 50th birthday celebration. I got the Spring Renewal package and it was absolutely amazing. July was so personable and I enjoyed the service very much. Darren was also amazing. He went above and beyond to help making this celebration a special one. His kindness, effort to accommodate, and attentiveness was first class! I will definitely be coming here again. Thank you!"
"One of my favorite spas hands down. The experience is always above par. The workers are friendly, welcoming and helpful. They go above an depend to make sure you are comfortable and your experience is enjoyable. The spa itself is beautiful and extremely clean. There are 2 lounges (unisex and women's only) where you can relax before or after your treatment. They provide you with fresh fruit, cookies and hot organic tea. My massage therapist was excellent. She definitely knew her stuff and worked out all my knots and tension. I've been going to NovoSpa for over 10 years and even though I've moved to Kitchener, I still make the trek down just to visit."
"I was doing a little shopping in the area and decided to pop in and check out Damara Spa. What an amazing line of products being sold here. The charming manager, Carlisle, was able to go over the benefits of the products I was interested in. He was very professional and knowledgeable. Will definitely be booking in a spa day for my upcoming birthday!!"
"I had such a fantastic experience at Damara! I've never had a facial before, and Alicia was such a sweetheart. Upon arrival, the staff was very friendly and greeted me immediately. Alicia got me signed in, a pair of slippers, and brought me into the changeroom. She thoroughly told me exactly what to expect and where to go. I did take advantage of the sauna before my service as well. It was very quiet and relaxing. I had the Esse Live Probiotic facial and cannot be more pleased with how my skin looks and feels. We started with a skin consultation, which told me nothing shocking. Alicia was very knowledgeable and asked me lots of questions regarding my current skincare routine. She massaged the neck, shoulders, feet, and hands, as well as the facial area. After my treatment, I was offered tea and a cookie, and I relaxed in the lounge. I walked out of there feeling sublime. 10/10 would recommend, and will be back in the future!"
"I had an incredible experience at Damara Yorkville! I started with the Geneo X facial, and it was a game-changer for my skin. The treatment left my face feeling deeply cleansed, hydrated, and glowing. The aesthetician was knowledgeable and made the whole process so relaxing. Afterward, I indulged in a deep tissue massage, and it was exactly what I needed. The therapist skillfully worked out all the tension in my muscles, leaving me completely relaxed and rejuvenated. The staff were friendly, professional, and attentive from start to finish. If you're looking for a luxurious, effective spa treatment in the Yorkville area, I highly recommend Damara! I'll definitely be back."
"Damara Spa offers a luxurious experience for spa goers, they have top tier products and spa packages. The aestheticians are knowledgeable and the atmosphere is private and relaxing. The location is unbeatable in Yorkville. I made a full day out of my trip with shopping and dinner in the area. I highly recommend this spa and can't wait to return."
