Cathy MerrittWork has been pretty full-on lately, and the stress combined with lack of sleep started catching up with me. My skin felt dry, and those eye bags were getting harder to ignore. I knew I had to do something to take care of myself.
So I started fixing my sleep schedule and booked a facial to help my skin bounce back. It made a real difference! My face felt smoother and looked fresher, and I walked out feeling way better than when I walked in.
I know a lot of people are dealing with the same thing. Life gets busy, and it’s easy to forget to look after ourselves. That’s why I put together a list of the best facial spas in Toronto to help anyone who’s looking for a little refresh.
How much do facial treatments cost in Toronto?
A facial treatment in Toronto will usually cost you around $130. However, please note that your price can vary quite a bit depending on the type of facial treatment and your preferred spa.

Glowing Results and Expert Care
“I had such an amazing experience at European Beauty and I’m so grateful I found this place. Olga is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable. She knew exactly what my skin needed and brought out the glow in me with her amazing facials and microcurrent technology. She has all the best and most cutting edge products. I would highly recommend Olga and European Beauty to anyone. My partner and friends keep complimenting me on my skin now. Feeling great, refreshed and more confident! Thank you Olga!”

Skincare Expertise You Can Trust
“I can’t recommend European Beauty enough! Olga has been my aesthetician for nearly 15 years and she is truly an expert in the skincare field. She knows and shares her knowledge freely about each and every skincare treatment she performs, ranging from microneedling to various peels to radio frequency. She answers all your questions and creates amazing, customized results at each visit. Olga has a variety of well-researched tools and methods using quality products and techniques. What I appreciate most about Olga is how honest, hard working, and caring she is in her work. I highly recommend European Beauty!”

2. Beauty Room
Treatments offered: Fire & Ice, Oxygen Glass, dermaplaning, microneedling, chemical peels, and more
Address: Top floor, 17 Atlantic Ave, Unit 2
Phone number: +1 416-889-9948
Business hours:
10:00 AM – 6:00 PM (MON and FRI)
10:00 AM – 8:00 PM (TUES-THURS)
9:00 AM – 6:00 PM (SAT)
Beauty Room in Liberty Village has been around for over a decade and is a good pick if you’re after facials that go beyond the usual.
Out of everything they offer, their Fire and Ice Facial stands out the most for me. It starts with a resurfacing masque and finishes with a cooling one that leaves your skin smooth and glowy.
Their Oxygen Glass Facial is also worth a look, especially if your skin is feeling dry or tired. The oxygen infusion helps hydrate and plump, giving you that fresh, well-rested look without much fuss.
They also run a Beauty Club membership, which is handy if you’re planning to go regularly. You get discounted facials and priority booking, which makes it easier to stay consistent.
The only real downside is the price, as their treatments are a bit pricier than what most would expect.
The fresh feeling you get from it is great
“I love Niki and her Fire & Ice Facial, just the name itself is very cool. We don’t have anything like this in Russia… The fresh feeling you get from it is great. I’ve been really needing this boost of colour (I felt how my blood was moving again) it made me feel young and restful, smoother texture, and cleanliness. I think it’s a must before summer hits, it really refreshed my skin.
Sometimes I can get a bit of redness and sensitivity. My skin reacts to any kind of interference and quite often doesn’t like it. With Niki’s care, I left the spa not worried about anything. We applied some really nice SPF in the end and off I went with my day. Plus, I got a super relaxing head massage as a bonus.
Anyway, love Niki, love Beauty Room. Really is the only place to spa in Toronto.”

Used products that felt cooling and nourishing on my skin
“I had an amazing facial with Niki. We had a nice and thorough consultation and right off the bat she made me feel very comfortable with her open and friendly energy. She addressed all my skin concerns and throughout the facial gave me tips that I can include in my skincare routine. She used products that felt cooling and nourishing on my skin. She had a gentle but firming touch and I left feeling very rejuvenated. I immediately got so many compliments on my glowing skin. I can’t wait to come back! 😇”

3. Elmwood Spa
Treatments offered: Remedy Facial, NuFACE Microcurrent Facial, Radiance Foundation Facial, Skin Regimen LX Longevity Vitaminic Facial, and more
Address: 18 Elm St
Phone number: +1 416-977-6751
Business hours:
9:00 AM – 7:00 PM (MON-THURS)
9:00 AM – 9:00 PM (FRI)
9:00 AM – 8:00 PM (SAT)
10:00 AM – 6:00 PM (SUN)
Elmwood Spa offers a classic spa experience inside a heritage building where old-school charm meets modern wellness. They’ve been around since 1982, so they know their way around facial treatments.
Their menu is broad, but two facials really caught my attention. First is the Remedy Facial, which uses calming, plant-based products to soothe irritated skin. The second one is the NuFACE Microcurrent Facial, a techy treatment that uses microcurrents to boost collagen and firm up the skin.
You can get these facials at slightly better rates through their spa packages, which bundle treatments with extras. Regulars can also join their membership program for special discounts and deals.
Just keep in mind they’re pretty popular now, so getting an appointment can be tricky. Some clients have also told me that staff occasionally run late, which might be due to how busy the place gets.
My facial left me glowing
“I came to Elmwood Spa for my birthday and absolutely loved the experience. The lunch was delicious, water therapies relaxing, body scrub and massage fantastic and my facial left me glowing. I really enjoyed my experience and will definitely be back!”

My experience at Elmwood Spa in Toronto was very soothing and relaxing
“My experience at Elmwood Spa in Toronto was very soothing and relaxing. My first visit at the spa and I had a vitamin C facial. The esthetician Fara was very pleasant and knowledgeable. I scheduled a second visit with Fara. I enjoyed my stay at the Elmwood Spa❤️🥰”

4. Studios Vis A Vis
Treatments offered: Bespoke Facial, Botinol facial, Korean glass skin facial, Signature Facial, teen facial, and more
Address: 780 College St
Phone number: +1 416-537-3232
Business hours:
10:00 AM – 7:00 PM (TUES-THURS)
10:00 AM – 6:00 PM (FRI)
10:00 AM – 4:30 PM (SAT)

I took my time picking a facial spa and ended up going with Studios Vis A Vis. They’ve been around for 40 years, and their Bespoke Facial caught my attention.
It runs for about 105 minutes and is fully customized to your skin’s needs. For me, they used some advanced skin devices, vitamin masks, and even a facial massage that left my skin feeling fresh. It’s not cheap, but I saw real results.
I asked around and found out they also offer the Botinol Facial, which is a non-invasive alternative to Botox that helps smooth out wrinkles.
There’s also the Korean Glass Skin Facial, which uses brightening serums to give your skin that poreless, dewy look.
One thing to note is their response time. They say the spa can take up to 24 hours to reply to enquiries. Mine wasn’t that long, but I did have to wait a bit.
The services are some of the best I have experienced in Toronto
“The most brilliant part of the Signature Facial at Vis a Vis is the consideration and tailoring which goes into determining what your skin needs right now, and what needs to be focused on. The services are some of the best I have experienced in Toronto.
The staff at Vis a Vis is always knowledgeable, friendly and very professional. I trust the team there, and always leave feeling fantastic, and even a little younger!”

Literally the best facial I have ever had
“I am so glad I came across this place—literally the best facial I have ever had. The effects were almost immediate and now, over a week later, my sensitive skin is thriving. Persilia was attentive, caring, patient and super detailed!! She took the time to explain everything to me and is so incredibly knowledgeable! The reception staff was also beyond kind! It was a stellar experience, end to end!”

5. Beauty Unlimited Spa
Treatments offered: LED photofacials, pulsonic radio frequency facials, diamond microdermabrasion, deep cleansing facials, and more
Address: 800 Bathurst St, Unit 204
Phone number: +1 416-462-0046
Business hours:
9:00 AM – 8:00 PM (MON-FRI)
9:30 AM – 5:30 PM (SAT)
If you’re still on the fence about spending money on a facial, Beauty Unlimited Spa might be worth a look. They offer a 25% discount for first-time clients, which makes it easier to try their treatments without feeling like you’re taking a big financial leap.
I looked into their offerings and found a couple that stand out if you’re after something more targeted. The LED photofacial is a gentle option that uses light therapy to calm inflammation, reduce acne, and add a bit of glow to your skin.
They also have a pulsonic radio frequency facial that helps tighten skin and boost collagen production, which could be useful if you’re dealing with early signs of ageing.
On the downside, they do require a $50 deposit to book, and they’re not open on Sundays.
The best facial in Toronto!
“The best facial in Toronto! The spa is beautiful, peaceful and the most relaxing environment for any treatment. Natalia has over a decade of experience in skin concerns and it shows with how much attention to detail she has! Ashe takes you through skin concerns in detail, offers lifestyle modifications and other tips to help you with your specific concerns! I would recommend this spa to anyone looking to get started with an aesthetician or simply if you need a skin pick me up!”
-Guneet Sandhu, Google Reviews
My skin has improved dramatically since I started coming here
“I’ve been going to this salon for over a year now, and I can’t recommend it enough! Iryna is absolutely amazing—so attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely the best at what she does. My skin has improved dramatically since I started coming here, and I always leave feeling refreshed and cared for. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands skincare and goes above and beyond, this is the place to go!”

6. Skinn Ritual
Treatments offered: Buccal massage, Kobido, Thai herbal poultice, sculpture face lift, Hinoki Power Lift Tree, and more
Address: 48 Manor Rd E
Phone number: +1 416-577-1142
Business hours:
10:00 AM – 8:30 PM (TUES-FRI)
9:00 AM – 8:30 PM (SAT)
9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (SUN)
Skinn Ritual is a facial spa that feels more like a wellness retreat than a typical skincare spot. They focus on what they call functional facial therapy, which basically means they’re treating your skin and stress at the same time.
Techniques like buccal massage, where they work inside the mouth to release jaw tension, are part of the mix. They also offer Kobido, a Japanese massage that’s meant to energize the face.
What stood out to me was their use of traditional healing tools. The Thai herbal poultice is a warm compress filled with herbs that helps with skin inflammation. They also offer the Hinoki Power Lift Tree, which uses wood-based tools to boost circulation and give your face a natural lift.
However, their lack of a proper online booking system is disappointing. You’ll need to call or email to book, and they charge $130 for skin consultations.
The facial experience was amazing and I definitely felt relaxed afterwards
“My first facial with Sanda was an excellent experience! She is very knowledgeable and I have learned a lot from her based on my skin type. The facial experience was amazing and I definitely felt relaxed afterwards as she also did some massage. Will definitely recommend her to my friends and family.”
-Kirstianne Ramos, Google Reviews
The only place I will be going to for my facials
“As a newcomer to Toronto and a person who often goes for facials I have researched the top rated facial locations and I found Sanda and she will definitely be the only place I will be going to for my facials. Sanda is so professional, clean and gives you detailed information about your skin type and recommends types of products for your skin. Her detailed care makes her unique. I will definitely be booking appointments for my teenage kids who have skin outbreaks as well. Thank you Sanda, I can say it was the best facial I have done in many years.”
