Beautylicious Preview
Last week we popped in to preview the treatments Toronto Chicks will be taking advantage of for Beautylicious Oct 28 - Nov 7. All of the local spas, salons and even some restaurants in the bloor/yorkville area are offering special packages and deals to those who book in advance. It's a great way to sample something new and pamper yourself or a friend at great prices.
Here are the services I tested:
The Salon - Blowdry and deep conditioning
treatment, $25
The Spa - Focused Facial and Express Pedicure, $125
While I waited for my pedicure, I sipped on lemon water per Hanna's instructions. She had noticed some dehydration in my skin and said all of the staff there drink a lot of lemon water to rehydrate the skin. Interesting tip, yes?
Shortly after, Mimoza swept into the lounge area looking for a man named "Ali" for the pedicure treatment. I thought she might be looking for me and that was confirmed after she visited the front desk - and had someone check the men's room - to inquire what "Ali" looked like. We both laughed about it as she exfoliated my feet and polished my toes with a glossy red.
Stillwater is truly the best full service spa in the city, so if you plan to take advantage of the Beautylicious deals this should be on your list.
Check out their website for a full list of participating merchants and package pricing.

Here are the services I tested:
The Salon - Blowdry and deep conditioning
treatment, $25I got a wash, deep conditioning treatment and blowdry at Marc Anthony salon, where stylist, Jimmy gave me sensational billowy curls using nothing but a small round brush and blow dryer. The end results were fantastic, though the process was a bit... aggressive. My scalp wasn't such a fan of both the use of frigid water (to rinse out the treatment), and the times where I felt nearly pulled off my chair as my hair was yanked and whipped around the brush.
The Spa - Focused Facial and Express Pedicure, $125
Oh Stillwater Spa, will you marry me? Whatever stress I felt from the week melted away in minutes 
as I enjoyed my focus facial and express pedicure. First, Hanna treated me to a luxurious facial that felt more like the full hour than the express 30 minutes. The face and neck massage were especially soothing and I emerged with glowing skin.
