I recently received a massage and facial as a Father's Day gift from my wife and kids. I get at least 5-6 massages a year as I'm very active. And I'm old (48) so I'm always sore. And I've had maybe 5 or 6 facials in my life. I mention this as context for my review - I.e. Massages and facials are not new to me.
I had Joseph for my massage and Jamie for my facial. Both were outstanding!! I...

I booked a couples massage for myself and my boyfriend for his birthday. Jody and Lindsey were both super friendly and explained the service before they started.
The room had a great ambiance- dimly lit and decorated with warm earth tones. They incorporated aromatherapy as well as relaxing spa music.
We were served chocolate chai tea as well as chocolates from a local chocolatier down the...

We did couple's relaxation massage. Experience was awesome. We stayed at Empress and were going to go to the spa there this was $80 cheaper and was wonderful. We were relaxed all day long.
Enjoyed the ambiance and friendliness however the customer service could use some freshening up.
I was told a price on the phone, and that both masseuses for our couples massage would be certified. When we got there, only one was certified and there was an extra charge for her. I also specified a female masseuse for myself and a male for my girlfriend, however that's not how it came to be. I...

Every now and then we must add a little adventure, great food and excess into our lives. And so I spent the afternoon at the spa.
Being used to Toronto prices, I didn't find this place to be so expensive.
I dropped in during the morning and they found me a time slot. It wasn't the best time, right at lunchtime but I took it!
Tried the underarm wax with Carla. She was super friendly and...

This place is the best spa I've been to, and Shannon Davies is a wonder at Brazilian waxes (my last one barely hurt). I can also recommend the Relaxation Massage.
The atmosphere is wonderful and relaxing. They've always been accommodating and most of the time I've been able to get an appointment with short notice.
Love it here! It's a little over my price range, but the one and only time I went anywhere else for a Brazilian, I cried like a baby and was badly burnt. The staff at Sapphire are so friendly and very gentle. I always go back and I will never go anywhere else! Definitely a great place to go if you're sensitive to waxing or if it's your first time; they're incredibly accommodating and reassuring.
Not a lot of reviews on brown shaping places on the island so I took my chances and it was great! Exactly what I wanted. I requested my brows to be fully tweezed instead of waxed and they listened to how I wanted it and it looks natural, not over down. Great service and ambience!
The Sapphire Day Spa was available for a last min Massage appointment on a weekend trip in Victoria and for that I was grateful. This Day Spa was a much more special place than I expected to find.
Sapphire's entrance is a shop you can visit without appointment, the Spa area has two lounges, one upstairs and one downstairs. I really enjoyed the non-stuffy, more cozy, relaxing ambiance here. The...

People are big into reviewing restaurants, but spas don't seem to get the same attention... I was visiting from Portland, so Yelp is my only avenue for checking places out.
The BF and I decided to get a couple's massage. Now, of course there were many available on Craigslist...of the Tantric variety, but that was a little to exotic for us. So we went to Sapphire for the 90 min romance package....

What a fabulous spa. I went there last weekend with a bunch of girlfriends for pedicures and had a great time. It is a beautiful, clean, well managed place. We will defiantly be back!
I've sent my wife there about half a dozen times and it has always been good. Also I like seeing the fish in the pond in the entry.
I was particularly impressed a couple of weeks ago. Had to cancel an appointment on short notice because we were taking our son to Emergency (apparently swallowing a shard of jagged plastic seems like a good idea when you are only three). Sapphire didn't charge...
