Gallery Glam: Art and Nails at Lux
Recently, the Lux Spa of Yorkville celebrated the launch of their new spa/gallery concept: come to Lux to enjoy Canada’s best pedicure (as voted by Glow Magazine), while simultaneously viewing one of the beautiful photography, painting or collage collections being featured. For one month starting on June 12, Lux will be featuring the digital photography of Toronto artist Liz Gesicki.

It was a pleasure meeting spa owner Cathy Mancini, who clearly has a great passion for her spa and its customers. I found her support of the Toronto art community inspiring, and she hopes that other artists will take the opportunity to pair up in this spa/gallery experience in the future.
Liz Gesicki and Cathy ManciniWhile I visited the spa, I enjoyed a pampering manicure by Angie. Clearly, Lux Spa places a great emphasis on hygiene, as every tool she used was presented in a sterilized package prepared for my treatment.

Angie explained that this actually weakens the nails, which is something we certainly don’t want! The treatment features LoveFresh products in her spa, which is a 98-100% all-natural Toronto based line. One of my favourite products used was the LoveFresh pomegranate sugar scrub-- it smelled delicious!
