I have been a regular client at Essentials Spa for more than 30 years. My years of loyalty should convey to all that this spa is exceptional as I am very fussy about my manicures and pedicures. Once I find an aesthetic service that ticks off all the boxes - cleanliness, skill, service and ambiance, there is absolutely no need to try another. In 30 years, I can think of only one dissatisfaction. It was with a pedicure - I contacted Barb, the owner, who asked me to come right back in, and she, herself, redid two of my toes. I have recommended this spa without hesitation to my friends.

Well so much for the glowing review I wrote months ago. I tried to rebook for an even smaller group at a date months in advance. (leaving for a family vacation in Europe) I was told twice that the owner would have to get back to me and after two weeks of waiting booked at Buffed in Westdale. When I first attempted to book I was told that they did not have the staff to handle the booking. Since there was so much time before the booking one does wonder about who hires with service in mind. The second call told me that there was a booking that mean our group of three could not be there together. If

I have been going to Essentials, formerly Village Spa for over 20 years. The service has always been professional and friendly. Elaine, the receptionist, has been there for more than 20 years and helps to create a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I go to the owner Barb for my services and she is outstanding. I wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. They are one of the best aesthetics businesses and also one of the longest lasting businesses in Hamilton, serving a very loyal client base. I would highly recommend them!!!
