For those not familiar with what it is, many of the salons and spas in the Bloor-Yorkville area offer consumers set value-priced packages and services for a set period of time. There is a wide array of hair, spa, skin and health & wellness service packages available at four set prices - $25, $50, $75 and $125 in four categories: hair (hair/colour/cut/style); spa (includes massage and/or facial and/or mani/pedi); skin (non-invasive procedures including Botox, Restylane or chemical peel); and Health & Wellness (nutrition services, dental, chiropractic services)
There are too many packages for me to even begin to tell you about but you can find all the event info at www.bloor-yorkville.com with details of all the participating spas and salons as well as the packages available. But I will share with you a few of the ones I have my eye on as well as a few that I have tried already and can recommend:
Skin Vitality - 11 Yorkville Avenue - 416-969-9669 is offering $125 Fraxel, a non-surgical skin resurfacing procedure which helps correct wrinkles, pigment, acne and surgical scars as well as improving tone and texture - you can read all about my fun with Fraxel here.
Jeanet Spa & Salon - 140 Yorkville Avenue, 2nd Floor - 416-921-2996 has a $75 Enviro-Recovery Vitamin Infused Facial that will relax the hell out of you! You can read about mine here.
Marc Anthony Salon - 38 Avenue Road - 416-413-1521 has an amazing $125 offering of an all-over colour, deep conditioning treatment, haircut and style (for new clients only). You can read about my haircut there with Byron here.
Taz Hair Co. - 11 Yorkville Avenue - 416-922-6060 has a great $75 or $125 package involving colour and/or highlights - snag Susan if you can, she's great and they use the INOA colour there which has to be experienced to be believed! You can read my review here.
Pure + Simple - 41 Avenue Road - 416-924-6555 - I can't say enough about the deluxe sea salt microdermabrasion so you will just have to go an experience it for yourself for $125! You can read the review here.
and don't miss out on seeing Dr. Cory Torgerson - Facial Cosmetic Surgery - 70 Yorkville Avenue, Suite 31 - 647-343-0207 - who is offering special promotional prices on Restylane or Perlane injectable fillers as well as Botox. If you aren't ready for that yet, he is also offering a complimentary consultation and 3D photo image session - check out what you could look like after a bit (or a lot) of work! I did it and it was fun, you can check out the post here.
What I think sounds interesting :
Spa at the Windsor Arms Hotel - 18 St. Thomas Street - 416-934-6031 - for $50 you can get a Raw Earth Pedicure which involves something called a volcanic clay hydrating foot mask - I don't know how I could pass up the chance to stick my feet in a volcano!
Xtreme Lashes Inc. - 113 Yorkville Avenue - 416-410-8152 - is offering lash extensions for $75 which is a hell of a deal! I have had extensions before and it's worth doing at least once!
Grey May Hair Architects - 122 Cumberland Street, 2nd Floor - 416-920-8892 - for $125 you can get a haircut, blow-dry and PM shines with Greg May himself - after hearing people rave about him all the time, this is really something I should do!
