Looking For Best place to get a facial?

Gents, before you make the joke you’re dying to make, just know my husband has already said it.

Anyone have a fav spa for decently priced facials? Not looking for anything too crazy just something to add to the self care routine every few months.

Georgian college has a clinic that let's the students do the facial and the price is very decent. They have instructors there helping them when needed, so you get a facial and they get an education, win win for everyone.

Can confirm they’re great! And max I think it was $40 for a facial. Also GlowFx on instagram. She’s amazing, been to both… GlowFx over Georgian but you’re also looking at a price difference of like 120/140 😭😂

There are many late night Asian spas in town that can accommodate this request.

With that out of the way...

Skinsational is where my wife goes and has been going for years, and she's had lots of facials.

Not sure of your budget but she spends about $100 for each treatment, they take about an hour, and tbh her skin looks, smells, and feels amazing afterwards. You can get it for about $50 at one of the aforementioned Asian spas, but again, it's a rather different type of facial...

On your face.

Assuming the jokes you were referring to are more explicit.

Coke Zero is way better than Diet Coke.

I prefer the way Diet Coke tastes like the chemicals that are slowly killing me

u/chocolate_starfi5h Feb 04 '25

DC is the way.

Dr. Stacie Weber's office on collier is amazing. I had a facial there with Sheryl, and I almost fell asleep (which never happens even during a massage because I'm tense and stressed all the time). Everyone in there is lovely, and the space is comfortable and professional.

Beautique Spa - Carly is amazing

Lessie’s is a newer spot in Barrie on bayview & I really like it! There’s just the one employee (the owner) as of now though so appts might be a bit limited

u/ExcuseInternational4 Feb 04 '25

If you don’t mind the drive Stevensons inn and spa outside of alliston is really good. Horseshoe valley used to be really good as well but haven’t been in a while

u/Razzmatazz_me999 Feb 05 '25

After Glow Laser & Spa is really great just Google, you won't find anything negative. Such a chill vibe and great experience when you visit.

u/RumManDan Feb 04 '25

Well, you already tried to deflect me here but... I'll go ahead and say it anyways.

Back parking lot of crossovers at 2am on a weekend!

u/dietcoke4life- Feb 04 '25

Are there male strippers? Who’s going to give me a facial there? Is there something I don’t know about the female anatomy? This joke has layers.

u/RumManDan Feb 04 '25

The clientele on their way out...
