EMINENCE ORGANICS FACIALS BODY TREATMENTS AROMATHERAPY MASSAGES EYEBROWS & LASHES FACE & BODY WAXING HALOTHERAPY HANDS FEET Face Aromatherapy eyebrows + lashes EYELASH TINTING Dark eyelashes can make your eyes look super vibrant! They make the whites of your eyes look whiter, which is a symbol of youth. But unfortunately, not everyone is blessed with naturally dark, beautiful lashes. Women who are not blessed with dark, picture-perfect eyelashes can opt for Lash tints. Lash tinting is the quickest way to get darker, longer lashes without the mess or fuss of mascara. EYEBROW TINTING It’s super simple – eyebrow tinting involves smoothing semi-permanent dye over your eyebrows to make them appear fuller and slightly darker than normal. Unlike micro-needling (tiny little tattoos on your eyebrows), tinting is a way to enhance your natural brows. If you’ve got fair hair or your brows are a bit sparse, then tinting gives them some structure and body. Our estheticians are trained to get the perfect colour – usually a couple of tones darker than your natural shade. It’s important to get the correct colour, a tint that’s too light and it won’t look any different, too dark and it will be unnatural. We recommend pairing the tinting with a wax for the best result! LASH LIFT + TINT RefectoCil Eyelash Lift, for the perfect look without mascara and mechanical lash curlers while doing sports or at the beach! The Lifting works in a worldwide record time of just 13 minutes. Lashes appear much longer and fuller while they get nourished. Results last 6-8 weeks! Wow! Brow lamination, also called brow sculpt or brow lift, is essentially a perm for your eyebrows. The service quickly gained popularity in the U.K. in 2019 and made its way to the States late last year. Similar to microblading and tinting, brow lamination was designed to give the illusion of fuller, more defined eyebrows. Where it differs from these two treatments, though, is that no pigment is added to your brows (though you can opt for an additional tint). Instead your hairs are coaxed into place to look fluffier and more defined, and have a slicked-up, shiny look—I imagine this is where the term lamination comes from. It’s great for that feathery, model look that was previously possible only with genetics or soap brows. Results last 6-8 weeks! Wow! EYEBROW WAX 30 min | $30 20 min | $16 45-60 min | $89 $16 BROW LAMINATION + SHAPE 45-60 min | $79 BROW WAX + TINT $26 BOOK APPOINTMENT

Medium pressure is used to soothe sore muscles and melt away tension and stress. Enjoy a full body massage, or a massage on specifically targeted areas of the body. Please Note: This is not done by a registered massage therapist and therefore can not be submitted for insurance rebates. 30 min $50 45 min $65 60 min $75 AROMATHERAPY HOT STONE MASSAGE Goodbye muscle tension and Stress!! If you haven’t tried this yet it is an incredible sensory journey! A hot stone massage involves flat basalt stones being immersed in hot water and then placed onto specific parts of the body. During a hot stone massage, the techniques of a regular swedish massage are applied. However, your esthetician will work with hot stones throughout the treatment as well as placing them on specific parts of the body for the ultimate relaxation experience. Hot towels are also used with compression techniques throughout this treatment to encourage good blood flow and full body & mind relaxation. Please Note: This is not done by a registered massage therapist and therefore can not be submitted for insurance rebates. 60 min $105 90 min $135 ROSEMARY + MINT SCALP MASSAGE 45 min | $65 If you love to have your head touched this is definitely the treatment for you! Warm peppermint infused oil is massaged into the scalp and hair thoroughly then wrapped in warm towels for a deeper infusion. While the hot oil treatment is absorbing into the skin and hair, a neck and shoulder massage is performed. We then follow up with a hand and arm massage to give your upper body the full pamper! Ahhhhh yes! ​ Wait 30 minutes following treatment before washing to benefit from a deep conditioning hair treatment. Note: If you have long hair, we recommend bringing a hair tie to put your hair up after your treatment as your hair will be oily. INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE 45 min | $65 An Indian head massage promotes total relaxation with a feeling of well-being and calmness. What is involved? Traditionally this technique involves massaging the upper body including the shoulders, neck, facial muscles and scalp. We also have included the feet in this service to provide more symmetry. We also have our own unique twist to this service where we use singing bowls and sound therapy. This helps to restore balance and inner harmony to the mind, body & spirit. Some of the benefits of this type of service includes: clearing of the mind, relieving muscle tension, reduced pain and stress, fatigue, eye strain, increased mental clarity, and overall a feeling of well being.

    Halotherapy FAQ What can I do during my salt therapy session? Read a Book Listen to a guided meditation on your phone Listen to an audio book Chat with the person joining you Have a Nap! What are Negative Ions and why are they good for me? Negative ions have long been attributed to improvements in mood and physical health. Salt naturally produces negative ions, which produce the “clarity effect” that people love from Halotherapy treatments. Negative ions have been shown to reduce: Stress Headaches Lethargy Depression, Airborne Pollutants Dust Cigarette Smoke Pet Dander Pollen Mold Spores Viruses Bacteria from the air Negative ions can also dramatically increase: Energy Mental alertness Overall sense of well-being What are the respiratory benefits of Halotherapy? Halotherapy may help provide relief and/or improve the following: Viral infections Coughs and colds Asthma Smoker’s cough Chronic Bronchitis Sinusitis COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) Cystic Fibrosis Respiratory Allergies Ear Infections Various acute or chronic respiratory diseases Chronic ear-nose-throat illnesses What is the History of Halotherapy? ​ Centuries ago, European monks noticed something interesting: when they treated respiratory ailments in natural salt caverns, their patients got better faster. The monks produced salt dust by grinding salt rocks against each other, which the patients then inhaled. Dr. Felix Bochkowsky, the state authority for occupational health in Polish industry in the 1840s, saw the same thing was true with miners: while metal and coal miners battled relentless, deadly respiratory ailments, workers in salt mines were healthier than average people, let alone other miners. In 1843, Dr. Bochkowsky published a book about the health benefits of salt dust. His successor, Mstislav Poljakowski, followed by establishing the first salt clinic near Krakow, Poland, which is still in operation today. During World War II, salt mines in Germany were used as bomb shelters. During bombings, people often had to remain in the mines for extended periods of time, breathing in the salt dust. Upon leaving, many asthmatics were able to breathe much easier. By the 1950s, scientific studies (primarily in the USSR) were proving how effective salt therapy is in treating respiratory ailments. Manmade, above-ground Saltrooms provided a controlled environment, and Halotherapy (from “halo”, Greek for salt) became a new option for respiratory treatment. The first Halotherapy salt chambers opened in the 1960s in Eastern Europe. They were destination health sanatoriums and respiratory hospitals paid for by the socialized medical system of those countries. As Halotherapy grew more popular in the 1980s and 1990s, health and beauty resorts throughout Europe and Scandinavia began to install Saltrooms and offer Halotherapy as one of their restorative treatments. Now it has come to North America and is becoming increasingly popular !!
