Spa My Blend by Clarins

I had a very generous gift certificate for Spa My Blend so I decided to try out their HydraFacial. The spa grounds are absolutely stunning, especially the pool area and the sun room. Definitely a luxurious experience. The robes, spa slippers and anything you might need are at your fingertips. The pool area was quiet and the water temperature was warm enough. The little snacks in the sun room are great for munching while you lounge; the general layout of the room and the couches are especially perfect for a group spa getaway or some alone time.
Now onto my actual procedure; I had tried the HydraFacial before at Beauty Bar in Toronto and loved it so I decided to try it again here. For such a mark-​up, I certainly did not get the same experience or results. The esthetician was way too rough with the hydrafacial wand that I thought she was going to scar my face. It was not a relaxing or a pleasurable experience. Thankfully, my skin didn’t suffer too hard but you could tell that this wasn’t a well-​trained nurse or esthetician but pretty amateur hour in my opinion. She was not thorough and my «procedure» lasted for less than 45 minutes.
The entrance was also a bit underwhelming. There were too many unnecessary gift shop type chachkas on the adjacent wall; I would have liked to see more skincare products or lines. I would come back here and maybe try one of their massages and take advantage of the facilities.

I had been to this spa before, and really liked it, especially the sun room. Regrettably, my friend and I will not get to go here. We made about five calls between us, and no one called back. It has been four days since we tried to book our appointments, and still no response. It’s a nice spa, but not worth six calls.

Absolutely nothing spectacular about this place. very pretentious and mediocre. I went with my husband and we both agreed that compared t oother places we have been (Four Seasons, Hammam, Trump Hotel) this was all show and no substance. Everything was nice and clean and everyone was courteous. But it was so cold, and mediocre compared to the rest of the spas in that class. The two masseuses we had couldn’t be bothered to work harder!

This location is found inside the Ritz Carlton. Once you step off the elevator, it is like you are transported into an entirely different world. I like the fact that with any spa service there is complimentary parking. From stepping in and being offered a beverage to the full use of the gym/​green tea infused pool, to the spa facilities (sauna/​whirlpool) and I really enjoyed the break room where you can just kick back and chill out. The massage was very nice and the therapist explained all the aches and pains I was experiencing and how to self help. This has to be one of the better run spas I have experienced in Toronto.

Getting a massage at the Ritz-​Carlton was an amazing and luxurious experience. I came to my massage very early to enjoy the facilities (mostly the pool and jacuzzi). There are waiting rooms where you can read a magazine, enjoy the fruit, and have some tea (it was so good that I ordered some later). The bathrooms have lockers and lots of toiletries. There are many products from Clarins that you can sample. For my massage, I ordered a 90-​min deep tissue massage, plus an additional 15 minutes of the foot ritual. The massage therapist was excellent, and even showed me particular stretches for helping to remove muscle tension at the end. The deep tissue massage can be painful, and is meant to be more therapeutic, so try something else if you are aiming more for relaxation (i.e. hot stone massage).

Came here for a girls night. There were 7 of us, and it was an AMAZING experience.
Through beginning to end, the service was superb. The robe was very comfortable, so was the sheet/​blanket in the massage room (I wanted to buy them, and they do sell, but it’s too expensive) They also have a variety of snacks in the lounge. They offer Clarins products (both skin care and make up) for you to use/​try in the powder room.
The facilities are fantastic — they have this dryer, which will dry your swimsuits in a couple minutes.
My therapist was very attentive, it was a truly relaxing session. The sculp massage at the end was a highlight.

Oh boy. I know where all the savings are going to go. Hubby and I went for a couple’s massage. Excellent therapists, beautiful room with high ceilings. This facility is truly upscale. Excellent toiletries, amazing jet spa shower, great service. Their unisex lounge was great with some fruit, dried fruit and organic teas that are complimentary. You can lie on one of their lounge beds there, look at the beautiful skylight and order some wine. I used to go to Elmwood Spa, but this is leagues ahead in ambience and quality of therapists.

We’ve been to pretty much all the spas in Toronto and this is easily the best one we’ve visited.
The facilities are clean and relaxing and the shared common space is great — it gets natural light and has big beds that you can lounge on (great for couples). Massage staff are wonderful and the entire experience is very relaxing. Highly recommended.
