Lucky to even get one star and that’s based off the amazing therapist Keelie and Nicole S… but the business itself is a literal joke, this is the second time they have canceled my appointment less than 24 hours in advance with literally nothing to offer! But when you need to cancel they are supper quick to start charging your credit card with no authorization. What makes me extremely mad is that I literally confirmed that my appointment wouldn’t be canceled as I had to take time off work to make it there as my week off there was no availability… this place has went straight down hill ever

Critical:Â Communication
have booked with this spa numerous times and all services have been wonderful. The communication from the spa is another story. I understand that errors are made in any business, I do have a problem when the company does not make an appropriate effort to correct their mistakes.

I was somewhat disappointed with them this time. I went in with a group and assumed I would at least have at least 1 of them scheduled at the same time as me for a pedicure. Nope. Then we apparently were given the basic pedicure that were either paraffin treatment or polish.. why wasn't both an option? No one mentioned any of that on the phone when booking. Communication was lacking. So yup it was a disappointment. Who doesn't get minimum polish. I felt like I wasted my money.

Beautiful location, great staff, very calming environment, however you would think after spending $100 on a pedicure I wouldn’t have bubbled nail polish on multiple toes. A bit disappointed especially since the staff member put my sandals on and I sat in the lounge for quite a while after to let them dry.

I've been to this spa 3 times now, and every time I've had an appointment with different staff...and it's always been amazing. The facials are used with wonderful-high quality natural products, and a relaxing head, neck, shoulder, arm massage throughout. My friends and husband all loved their services too (Facials and Massages). Free parking, and not too busy. Good COVID precautions in place. Will definitely be back! :)

If you like being charged $100 for a vegan pedicure and $60 for a vegan manicure then this is your spa, no shellac offered, which isn't advertised anywhere on their website or stated when you call to book, no they wait until you're in their chairs to inform you, and when you tell the aestheticians your disappointed you weren't told this their standard response is "would you like a paraffin wax and you can go elsewhere to get your toes/fingers painted", which tells me the owner is very aware of his dissatisfied customers and chooses to continue deceiving them. If you want

Had a wonderful spa pedicure with 3 friends. The staff were wonderful. The pedicure and foot massage perfect. The added touches were the warmed neck pillow and blanket as well as the chocolates delivered to our chairs. They now carry a line of nail polish that dries in 20 minutes. This was a totally relaxing experience and I'm sure to return in the future.

Five stars goes to Kate (Kathryn), a certified massage therapist that just gave me the best, most mind blowing massage. I have a sore shoulder and she just melted my pulled muscle away.
Other reasons to go to Riverside Spa. 1) Lots of parking 2) clean and spacious steam room 3) cucumber water, raspberry lemonade, and a variety of teas to sip 4) while eating cookies 5) in a comfortable relaxation room 6) and multi-faceted showers with 7) organic shampoo/conditioner and body wash.

Came here for a 60 minute massage and enjoyed the session. Also took advantage of the eucalyptus steam room and had some tea and cookies.
Friendly staff
Only problem was the showers were clogged and water was up to my ankles -yuck
I'm sure they would have fixed it by now, but I will ask them again before I book my next massage

The entrance to this place looks like it's straight out of Wyoming in 1987, but once you're upstairs in the spa area things are a lot fresher. I've been for massages a few times and have consistently been impressed with the massage therapists' communication and technique. I actually leave here feeling like I've had a massage- unlike, say, at Spa Ritual. The women's change room has great showers and a fantastic steam room, though lockers are a little small and cramped. The lounge has a few comfortable chairs, beverages (herbal tea, lemonade and cucumber water) and

As I was finishing up a particularly stressful school semester, I thought about booking a massage as a treat to celebrate the end of the semester and the start of summer. From past experience, I now know that massages at busy spas need to be booked a few weeks in advance to get a good selection of appointment times. My default spa for massages has been Stillwater Spa, but I wanted to try something new this time. I had a fantastic pedicure at Riverside last year (see previous 5-star review), so I thought it would be safe to bet that the massages would be great too.

Curse my procrastinating ways!! I knew well in advance that the hubby was going to have to engage in a "telecon" with his work right smack in the middle of one of our Calgary getaway days. Had I thought about doing this even one day ahead of the meeting, I would have been able to book a blissful 90 minute service with super skilled therapist "Emily" versus the 30 minutes of what was left of her time when I called a mere 20 minutes before!
The facility is small but perfectly cozy and amenable to all of your needs including organic teas (with the coolest steeping devices I have

I have never considered myself a spa person...until a couple of years ago when I was given a gift certificate to Riverside Spa. I still might not be a spa person, but I am definitely a "Riverside Spa" person.
This is a wonderful place to get away from your family, pets, work and any other things that cause stress. The atmosphere is peaceful and calming. It is a beautiful spa without being pretentious.
I've been here probably a half dozen times and I have yet to have a service I didn't love or meet an employee who wasn't really nice and professional. The facials are great

From the outside, it doesn't look like much. Once inside, the receptionists were friendly and let me to a typical locker area. I changed into the provided robe and thongs and had a seat by the cozy fireplace and had some tea and cookies. The masseuse came and let me into the room. During the massage, I could tell she had a bit of a cold. She kept trying to hold back a cough, clearing her throat, and was sniffling. This kind of put me off. The massage was pretty good itself. Once the masseuse left the room, I could hear her coughing for a long period of time. This experience could

I've been a returning client for a few years now. It takes a lot of positives to make me go back to a spa and they've done it for me!! I usually go in for massage therapy because all their therapists are so awesome!! Dan only hires the best! Their prices aren't super outrageous and they do not act all "hoity toity" like some high end spas do. I've had a pedicure done here as well and I thoroughly enjoyed the view of Edworthy Park through the large window. Breath taking!! Oh, and the esthetician did a great job on my feet and toes as well! :o)
