ETIQUETTE
To ensure everyone who visits Skinsational has a relaxing and pampering time, we have outlined some spa etiquette tips.
  • Spa Reservations

    We recommend you book your appointments as far in advance as possible so the most convenient times and dates are available. A credit card or gift certificate number will be needed to hold all multiple spa bookings or packages. Please ensure we have your correct phone number for confirmation purposes.

  • Preparing for your visit

    We recommend that you leave cell phones, pagers and valuables at home for your visit. We will provide you with robes, slippers and housecoats for appropriate treatments. Please try to bring open-toed sandals if you are having a pedicure to avoid damaging polish.

  • Cancellation policy

    In consideration for others who are trying to get an appointment and the therapists professional time, please note that we have a 24 hour cancellation policy. A charge of 50% of the cost of the appointment will apply for notification less than 24 hours and a full charge will apply for “no shows.”

  • Arrival time

    Please arrive 15 minutes early for your appointments. It is much more relaxing to have time to unwind before your appointment than to rush in at the last minute. While we at Skinsational will do our best to accommodate late clients, it may not always be possible. Late arrivals of 15 minutes may forfeit some or all of the treatments.

  • Cellular telephones

    We ask you to either turn off or if this is not possible turn your phone to vibrate so as not to disturb the relaxation of other patrons.

  • Children’s policy

    We welcome children to partake in spa services with parents, however if you are receiving spa treatments we ask that you please respect the other clients time for rest and relaxation. Please ensure children are fully supervised for appointments no longer than 30 minutes. For longer scheduled appointments please arrange babysitting.

  • Payment options

    We accept Visa, Mastercard, Interac and cash. Prices are subject to change without notice. Prices do not include HST. Gratuities are not automatically included in price. If our staff deserves such a compliment, please let our receptionist know and we can add gratuity to the payment.

  • Gift certificates

    Perfect to show someone they deserve to be pampered too. Gift Certificates are available for services or a dollar value. Please note our Gift Certificates do not expire. Customers can change their spa services or package gift certificates to a dollar value and use for any services or products they prefer. Gift Certificates are non-refundable, but are transferable. Gift certificates that are over 6 months old will be honoured for the dollar value that was paid.

  • The grande finale

    Your professional aesthetician will recommend home treatment products to extend the benefits of your treatments. We use only the best skin and body care and can help you with any concerns or questions. Take some of your spa experience home with you!

TESTIMONIALS
What our customers say!
“I have been a client now for 4 years. I found them online and decided to give them a go! My first experience was over the top. From being greeted with a friendly warm tone and face when you walk in the door, to leaving again with a wonderful attitude. I have come to know the staff and they have come to know me. They pay attention to detail. From remembering what I take in my tea, to what kind of facial I like best, to my favorite color of nail polish. The best part is, walking into the spa and them already knowing who you are! It’s such a great feeling, and I am only there once every 6- 8 weeks. They are so accommodating and do their very best to make sure your every visit is the best it should be. I have recommended two co-workers, my mom, my sister, and my babysitter. And they have all become regular clients now! Within the 4 years of being a client there, they have done two major renovations. Have to say I am very pleased with the choice I made. I have several services done at Skinsational.”


Michelle, age 32, Midhurst

“As a client of Skinsational for the past 22 years, I have grown to appreciate not only the professionalism of all the staff, but the personal touches exhibited by them throughout the year. From remembering my favorite nail polish to ensuring that i receive the best quality products for one who has problem skin. It is often the little things they do that I remember which stems from the example of its owner Darlene Price. I strongly recommend Skinsational as a place to relax, rejuvenate and renew not only one’s skin, but one’s spirit as well.”

Elizabeth Longo, age 48, Barrie

“When I was asked to write a comment about Skinsational, I was over the moon! I am always raving about them! When I get home from my appointments I am always going on and on about how thrilled I am with the job they have done! From the receptionist that greets you, to the aestheticians doing your services. If I could rate Skinsational on a scale from 100, I would give them a 100/100! Thank you Skinsational for pampering me!!!”


Sandra, age 46, Angus

“I love the facility of Skinsational. They are always re-decorating and keeping the space updated every couple of years. I also love the product lines that they carry. Whether it’s a facial product or a nail polish they have a great variety. Why do I choose Skinsational? Skinsational has such great staff to work with. They are all so pleasant and always make you feel comfortable.”

Jeanette Fulford, age 59, Barrie

“What I love about Skinsational is that all the services are offered under one roof. There is a separate space of the building that is specifically for manicures and pedicures which is nice to help keep the noise upfront away from the clients in the back who are trying to relax. The space is in the back is where the “quiet” zone is. I think that is great that they take the time to think about these things in their renovation process, always thinking of their clients!! When we first came to Barrie, we did not want a cheap mall spa or something located on a busy street. Easy access and tons of parking. We saw an advertisement back in the day and decided to try it, and myself and my husband have been loyal clients ever since. Relocated to Barrie in 1999 and had my first appointment in early 2000.”

“What I like about Skinsational is that the environment is beautiful and relaxing. All the staff members are so kind and knowledgeable about the products and services they are providing to you. I trust the advice that is given to me at Skinsational. My skin has improved so much since I first started my regular appointment, years ago. I now get wonderful compliments on my complexion. I started attending Skinsational in 2007. I was referred by a friend, and it was by far the best decision I have made.”

Lauren Scratch, age 28, Barrie

“My mother and I have tried other spas in the past and found ourselves coming back to Skinsational for the superior service, clean environment and the friendly, curious and caring staff. I have been coming to Skinsational for 20+ years now and will never stray again. Over the years I have never hesitated to recommend their services and will continue to do so.”


Martha & Anne Scott, Barrie

“I started coming to Skinsational years ago. But I was much younger back then, and I was only ever treating myself. I have found over the last year years I make much more of an effort to treat myself. Why? Because Skinsational is awesome! Just going in there, and being able to relax, or if you’ve had a hard day, they are always there to listen. I am at Skinsational every 2-3 weeks now to get my manicure and pedicure done, and the odd time I will really treat myself to a facial or a massage. I like being greeted with a smile, and everyone knowing who you are. Not only are the girls there all so nice, educational, warm and inviting…they are also so FUNNY! Especially while getting a manicure/pedicure everyone is chit-chatting away, they definitely know how to make you laugh until you’re in tears! That is another thing I love about Skinsational, they are so awesome in every category and I couldn’t be happier with the spa I have chosen to treat myself. My sister and my mom are now both regular clients as well, and once every 6 months we all book in for a “pamper me package” and spend a day getting pampered together. Thank you Skinsational!”


Rachel, Sarah & Laurie Speers, ages 25, 23, 50, Barrie

“When I was asked to write a testimonial for Skinsational, I was more than happy to. I really like Skinsational and their team that have. I am always so pleased with the service I receive when I am at their spa. I like the high-quality products they use for their services. They take such pride in what they do. I really like that. The girls there are so educational about what they do, and they work hard to make your visit the very best. I also like that everything that Skinsational offers is real. Whatever they sell, they believe in. They don’t sell or offer anything that does not work. The owner there is really great. I don’t know her too well, but when I do see her, she is always so pleasant and usually talking to her clients, and again, very educational on what she is providing her client with. Skinsational is the place to be in Barrie.”


Laura Wiley, age 65, Barrie

“I am not someone who pampers myself often. But when I do, I want things to be done right! I tried other spas in the past, and I know sometimes you can’t base an opinion on just one visit. But I realized other spas did not have what Skinsational has. Skinsational has an amazing staff team. They have long-term staff, staff that have been there 20, 15, 10, 7 years. They don’t always have staff that come and go. Everyone is pretty regular. And that’s something to consider. I like walking through their front door and everyone saying, “Hey Kirsten!” That is something that makes you feel GREAT! Their product lines are also so amazing. Again, they are not always switching up different skincare lines, or their polish lines. What they have works! And they love what they sell! All around, I LOVE Skinsational. Thank you for everything that you do!”


Kirsten Gordon, age 25, Barrie
