Janina’s Esthetics

I didn’t even know face massages were a think but they are and Janina is fabulous!!! Thank you for the amazing facial.

Janina is the best! Her facials are awesome and the oxygeneo treatment is heaven. She’s very knowledgeable about skin care and is sweet as pie. Thank you again Janina, I will be back!

I had an extremely pricey oxygen facial for over 150 dollars, it took less then 20 min. By the time I had gotten undressed and lay down, it was over. I was shocked by the less than stellar time she took to look at my skin, evaluate what my skin needed and I saw zero results. I get better results at Dove spa with their standard facial. Stay away from this place for any Fancy so called facials. Total bust and no care taken. Should not have left the 10 dollar tip. Here’s a tip, take care of new clients.

I had an amazing facial with Agata… She’s very thorough and gives amazing massage at the end. I was in heaven. So relaxing!

I’ve been going to Janina for a facial for nearly 20 years, ever since I had crazy acne as a teenager. Janina has cleaned up my face and has been keeping me looking young ever since my first visit. She is quick, efficient, hard working and a dear friend. Wouldn’t put my face in anybody else’s hands!

I went here last year & saw Janice, who is no longer working here.
Janice’s energy was very soothing and her massage was incredible, so I thought I’d return. I was told she doesn’t work there but figured that her expertise had to do with training, so I went ahead and booked with someone else.
I was chastised 3 times for various things with a sentence ending in «Girl.» I received zero neck/​shoulder massage. I felt a long of burning when she out the masque on but thought since she hadn’t described a single thing she was applying the whole time that it was normal. My face was so inflamed when I left I wanted to put a bag in my head & the other assistant was just gawking at me.
She also brought two women in the room to get supplies or something while I had the masque in and eyes covered speaking to each other in Polish, which made me feel like my comfort didn’t matter.
Janice where are you now?

I was lucky enough to get a same-​day facial, and also got my brows waxed and tinted. This was a fantastic experience and I won’t be going anywhere else from now on. Very professional, relaxing, I looked and felt fabuouls and for days afterwards. Very glad to have found her.

I’ve been to many places in the city and she is okay in comparison to the others.

I come here for facials and there is no better place in Toronto. Both Janice and Janina are amazing! My skin looks healthy once again after a disastrous year! It is an absolute treat coming here.

My first time at Janina’s and my 2^nd waxing experience. Brazilian was very quick, and efficient. Conversation was friendly. Professional attitude and very knowledgeable.
My hair was too short but she managed to make it work!
Much better experience than my first Brazilian (somewhere else).
I will be back!

I have tried various aestheticians in Toronto, but Janina and her team have been the best by far. They actually focus on taking care of your skin, and not upselling you spa products /​services. I’ve received various services both from Janina, and Janice. They both are great, and take all the time needed to complete extractions (unlike other places which usually have a «set» extraction time).
I also recommended the Dr. Mehran line of face care products. They’re reasonably priced, and effective.

This place is professional, CLEAN, friendly, and very affordable for the quality of service. I would recommend it to anyone who isn’t looking for crazy indulgent spa frills (which come with a hefty price tag) and just wants to get the job done — without any residual trauma, of course.

Been on an exhausting hunt to find a place to get a great facial where you aren’t paying for the location/​décor & where you aren’t pummelled with selling while trying to relax and enjoy. Finally found it here.
Janina was gracious and welcoming, even though I showed up an hour early, my mistake. Felt immediately like my business was appreciated. I was paired with one of her newer employees who did a wonderful job but with a guided oversee by Janina which shows a great deal of care and attention on her part. She patted my hand and told me a joke. It was a really pleasant experience.
I was upsold on a moisturizing treatment but she was right, I needed it and it wasn’t done in an aggressive way but more a recommendation. Saw a huge difference in my face, especially the yucky frown line in between my eyebrows. I now trust her recommendations and will be open to hear about her products in the future. Because she is charging a reasonable price for her services I will go more often rather than treating a facial like a luxury. You would think spa owners would understand that.
It’s not a luxury environment so if that’s your thing, probably not the place for you. I’m okay with a few less leather couches and water features to get a quality experience. Really happy to have found her.

A solid 4.5 out of 5
I booked a last minute appointment to get a facial and eyebrow wax at Janina’s. She accommodated my next day request, thanks to some cancelations, which was greatly appreciated.
The facial was one of the most professional ones I’ve ever received. She was soft-​handed but thorough. I was worried as she didn’t ask me much about my skin regimen/​habits/​tendencies, but I guess my face told her everything she needed to know. She took the time to educate me about hydration and the difference between my freckles and my skin tags. And she was very friendly overall.
If it weren’t for a couple things, I’d have given her a ⁵⁄₅. Mainly she left me unattended twice, once for the steam and later when my mask was drying (15mins at a time). Both felt great but I would have preferred her presence or check-​ins. That time could also be an opportunity to work in some other bonus, like a quick hand massage. Plus the steam felt localized, it didn’t get my whole face, maybe she could have been more mindful of that since it was so important for opening my pores. I felt the difference when she was working on blackheads where the steam hadn’t hit my face (ouuuch).
Apart from these really picky exigences, it was a perfect treatment. I’ll definitely be back. The shoulder/​neck massage at the end is a personal touch, a really nice treat (better than some RMTs).
I RECOMMEND: the facial. Wax was ok but the facial was amazing and a great value.
EXTRA TIP: Honour your appointment. Janina and staff run a tight shift, scheduling wise, so no-​shows and tardiness are not the best way to start off things with what could be your new favourite aesthetician.

I began going to Janina back in 1997. She is a true beauty professional. She knows skin like no other. I had veered away from Janina and her products for about a year or two because I started to experiment with big name drug store products out of convenience (especially while I was traveling). My face began to break out really badly. My chin was covered in white heads and zits. I would have to wear SO much make to try and hide it. I was really starting to feel down on myself. I went to the doctor and gave me some cream and offered pills. There was no way I was going to take pills for acne! I refused to believe this.
I went back to Janina for a facial and started using her products again and my face completely cleared. It’s a miracle. I keep going for facials once a month.
For the right price Janina is the best in the city. Top notch! And I love her to pieces. She is so sweet and makes every visit very warm and comfortable.

Not the fanciest place but very professional. Will definitely return.

Best facial in the city. Quality meets value. 90min-​2hr for less than $ 100. JANINA knows the meaning of extractions… and my face has never looked this good. I cannot imagine going anywhere else after her. Seriously, she is the one.

I gave Janina another chance for a facial a couple of months ago and now I am hooked. She is, indeed, my esthetician of choice. Already came back a couple of times, with good results, and now I signed up for her microdermabrasion sessions.
She needs time to work on your face, and will do it properly if you arrive on time, and don’t tell her to hurry (reasonable, huh?). Allow 60−90min for a great, relaxing and renewing work. Winter is TERRIBLE for my skin, it becomes very dehydrated, and I have a few breakouts, it’s hard to find a balance, so it’s important to me to do facials so I don’t look horrible.
Her prices are unbeatable, the only problem is booking — think about at least two weeks in advance if you want a Saturday.

I just got back from my first Brazilian with Janina and I have to say she has a customer for life! I read the reviews and went to try it out and it was just what I had hoped — professional, fast, reasonably priced and refreshingly comfortable. I am kind of a wuss with waxing (and kind of shy) and Janina made it a really good experience. She did it really quickly and engaged me in conversation to distract me in a much needed way.
The salon is also a nice surprise since it was immaculate and set up in a welcoming way. All in all, this is the best Brazilian I have had to date and I’ve had quite a few. I’d suggest it to anyone!

If you are looking for a thorough and knowledgeable esthetician, Janina offers one of the best facials around!
She doesn’t cut corners and focuses on the cleaning and healing of your skin. I found her very helpful and my skin has improved greatly after a few months of treatment. Not that my skin was horrible, but I feel the difference!
Also, her prices are very reasonable and she offers skincare products that are better quality and less expensive than the fancy-​mass-​marketed-​consumer-​over-​the-​counter junk.
It’s a small salon and it’s not the place to go if you want the extra fuss.
It’s about your skin and less about the pampering, but if that is what you are looking for, it’s perfect!
