Serenity Spa & Lounge

Oh yes please! Just came from a birthday mani-​pedi. SUCH a beautiful experience given by a beautiful soul. I’d given up on finding this service done well and in a relaxing environment. Five stars all the way. Never going anywhere else.

Best spa in Toronto in my opinion! The staff is very friendly, professional and excellent at what they do. I have been going there for mani/​pedis for a while now and have brought friends along (even my husband!) and it does not matter who you get — whether it be Asmeret, Jenny or Sharon — they all do excellent work! I’ve had threading done by many people and Jenny is by far the best. I call her «the Queen of Threading». Asmeret gives the best facial. You have to try one of her facial treatments. Every service I have had there has been excellent. Asmeret has created this little jewel of a spa. The name Serenity really suits the spa. When you walk in, you feel the serenity from the décor/​atmosphere and you leave feeling very serene. Highly recommend you go and try any of the services they offer. You’ll be glad you did.

All I hear about this place from all my friends is any thing but 100% positive and great reviews. I know Asmeret as professional at what she does and this is her area of expertise.

I had a wonderful experience here at this salon, exhausted from traveling I had a 1 hour signature pedicure and a half hour massage, then I got my eyebrows waxed and coloured. So friendly, lovely energy, fantastic eye for detail, I cannot recommend this salon more highly! If I came back to Toronto I will be knocking on this door again!

I honestly can not say enough good things about this spa!!! Every time I go there everything from my mani/​pedi to my facial to even the few massages I have had are beyond perfect!!! Asmeret is extremely knowledgable and caring. I thoroughly enjoy every minute spent at Serenity! You do not want to miss this place!

Visiting Toronto as part of a business trip. Having been on multiple planes in multiple cities my face was feeling the effects and decided that a facial would be great to start of the weekend.
Serenity was cute, clean and welcoming. My facial was tailored to me and the needs of my skin. She was knowledgeable and really helped my skin and made good recommendations for future care.

Best salon in town –staff is professional and so friendly — a must to do as a local or visitor —

If you are walking a bit fast on Wellington west near the Soho hotel, you might just miss the spa sign (hint please do something about your sign so it’s visible to public) but if you happen to stop and look to the right, you will see a door, which will somewhat resemble serenity, open it and walk in.
That’s what I did, not kidding!
The ambiance of this boutique spa is fresh, cozy, quaint, and serene. They don’t take walk-​ins, appointments only! I walked in and pleaded for a deep please take this toe which is growing on top of my toe, then after take a razor and cut that unicorn growing out of my heel, «type» of pedicure.
«Our Signature Pedicure is what you’re after,» said the lady behind the counter with a slight ‘TMI on your toe condition’ look, then followed up with «extra paraffin treatment will do you good!»
Umm ok.
I sat on their comfortable cushioned bench, she turned on the faucet, threw in magic blue powder, and I soaked my feet in warm heavenly slush, hoping my feet will come out mimicking Kate Moss and not Fiona from Shrek!
Verdict: for a $ 60 dollar one hour foot treatment, which included skinning of my feet ;-), polish, massage, scrub, unlimited refills of chamomile tea, bottoms of my feet ended up feeling soft as a baby’s bottom.

I received one of the best manicures ever at this salon. I was visiting from New York on business and took a break to get my nails done. It is very relaxing inside and clean with high ceilings. The manicure is done with high quality products and with a lot of attention. I loved the Guerlach hand lotion. It makes your hands feel moisturized and has a soft pleasant scent. I highly recommend this salon.

I can only agree with the other reviewers! Asmeret is simply fantastic. I went there today for the first time, for a lip and chin wax and brow and lash tint. When I walked in I was hurried and stressed and within minutes she made me feel so relaxed. Asmeret is very professional and does a great job. I have very sensitive skin and I’m so surprised to see how well it responded to the treatments. I am definitely going back!

5 stars is not enough for Serenity Spa & Lounge.
Like the other reviewers I am a fan of their facials. Asmeret is a skin care genius! I have extremely sensitive skin and whenever I have had facials in the past there is always something that sets my skin on fire and/​or I end up with redness/​irritation afterwards. Not here. Asmeret customizes the facials to suit my needs and my skin has never looked better.
I agree with a previous reviewer who said if you’re having a horrible day to book an appt. for a facial. My first one was for 75 minutes and now I won’t book anything less than that. Over the course of 75 minutes your life will be transformed. You think you’re just going in for a facial but you’re not. Expect a seaweed back treatment to help draw out the toxins and a massage for your hands, arms, legs, feet and scalp.
If possible book for the end of the day so you can go home and crawl straight into bed! That is what I do!
The spa is extremely clean and the spa rooms are so comfortable. The music and the lighting are perfect for relaxation but Asmeret is so soothing and has such a way of making her guests feel at home.
I’ve been here for lash tintings, brow threadings and facials. Each time I leave feeling like I am walking on air. I am so happy I discovered this gem of a location (thanks to the reviews on Unilocal!) and I will continue to return again and again and again.

Looking for a flawless, long-​lasting, thorough pedicure that leaves your feet perfectly soft and perfectly pampered? Asmeret, owner at the year old refurbished Serenity Spa, deserves the title of Pedicure Queen for the pristine way she leaves feet and toes looking.
Her luxurious pedicures last a full hour and change: no rush jobs here. She is absolutely meticulous in scrubbing, filing, pushing cuticles back, massaging and applying polish, transforming even the most scruffy looking toes into little gleaming gems. I know: she has cared for my feet for over 10 years delivering consistently professional, perfect pedicures time and again.
The spa has a clean, cozy, well-​lit, bright, and inviting atmosphere and is located in the downtown core, right on Wellington. Sip chamomile, mint, or green tea, browse current fashion magazines, choose your OPI nail polish (Shellac also available, along with other brands) and watch as Asmeret takes your beleaguered urban scraggle toes and turns them into foot fetishist bate. That’s how perfect your feet will look post-​Asmeret: good enough to eat. Yes, really.
Hyperbole aside, if you are looking for a pedicure that will leave your feet refreshed, soft, with perfectly painted toes and a light, pampered feeling, get on the phone and book an appointment with Asmeret. You will become devoted to her pedicures. Like I am.

I popped in for an express manicure and was really happy with the service and the quality and the price! I recommend this place without hesitation. Asmeret is very sweet and great at what she does — I plan on going back!

I can’t recommend this spa to enough friends! I’ve been coming here for almost a year for various services: nails, massage, threading… all incredible! But its the facials that have me hooked. Asmeret takes the greatest care of her clients. She really focuses on providing tailored solutions for your skin. It’s like an hour of therapy. Next time you’re having a horrible day make a facial appointment. It’ll change your life, i swear.
