Tru Spa is a fully designated institute located in Nanaimo, BC, staffed with qualified esthetics instructors who care about your success, so you know your time and education dollars are well spent.
Your career in esthetics may have started at Tru Spa, where you worked in a real-world salon environment as you learned. Why not return to a rewarding career as an esthetics instructor? When you become an instructor at Tru Spa, you can be a mentor to students who are just getting started in the industry, and look to you for guidance and inspiration.

Amazing and comfortable atmosphere, super friendly and happy staff, always on time, the services are always excellent, and their prices can't be beat. I left the other day after a massage and pedi feeling like I'd died and gone to heaven! I will always come back and highly recommend them to everybody I know.

Clean and comfortable location. Very helpful and friendly staff. Students are taught well and supervisors check the work they do on you. I get pedicures monthly and they are always great. Cheaper than most places and the atmosphere and work done is just as good!

Appointment was cancelled 3 times in a row. Drove all the way to the institute on the last time, and they called me while I was driving (didnt answer for this reason) and was turned away at the desk. Unreliable from my experience as a customer.

The students here seemed very well trained, but don't forget, these are students. I have been satisfied all 3 times I've been there.

Nice clean professional looking institute.
Had shellac polish change. Took 1 1/2 hrs.
Minimal colour choices. $27.00. Could have had full manicure at other salons.
Would not return.

I would like to address to negative comment about our school Tru Spa. We were saddened to see such negativity from what I assume was a past student. We are 4 years young and continue to evolve in what we hope will be a great training institute for Aesthetics. Our program is intense and overwhelming at times for both students and instructors. We aim for our students to build their knowledge while here and truly continue to grow in the industry while working in the field. We put our best foot forward and truly take an interest in assisting our students find employment. Having said this our graduates
