Scrubbed clean by Luxe Beauty Lounge, Yaletown
So if you read about my expedition to the Beauty & the Beat event earlier this month, you might remember that my sister and I got treated to free manis by Luxe Beauty Lounge, which wasn’t even open at the time.
Luxe, the new beauty lounge nestled in the Yaletown Shops on Homer & Davie, already built some buzz on Sweetspot and at other events even before its doors were officially open. Now that’s a way to build your clientele!
I normally get massages at spas, but since I got a $10 off card (with $50 or more purchase) from B&TB, I opted for the Citrus Body Glow for $65, which I figured would be like a full-body massage but with even more goodness for my skin.

I was 15 minutes late for my appointment (bad!) but Catherine, one of the company partners who treated me, said it worked out since the client before me had run late too. I stripped down in the treatment room a few minutes later and then the scrubbing began!
First off, the scrub smelled really good, and was made of moor mud, citrus essential oils and some other good stuff. All natural — a definite bonus in my book. It felt grainy, but that’s what good exfoliation does.
After about 25 minutes of scrubbing, Catherine went to work wiping off the residue, but she didn’t use a wet towel, because otherwise, the good ingredients of the scrub wouldn’t have been absorbed by my skin. You’d think that would feel weird, being “dried” off like that, but actually it felt REALLY moisturized. After that, I got all lotioned up with some Papaya body lotion and then smelled extra good and had my skin feeling extra soft! On the website it says the treatment is 45 minutes, but it really seemed more like an hour.
For an extra $60, you can upgrade to include a Chocolate Wrapture, which is already a $100 value itself. Luxe has some great deals like this, especially if you are a VIP.
Luxe is a super cute lounge and they have a ton of other services, from massages to waxing, facials, mani/pedis, lashes, brows, makeup, hair, and even spray tans. It’s quite impressive given how small the space is, but that also means you get great one-on-one service. Here are some pics of the spa (click on them to enlarge). Lots of awesome girly products!
**Bonus for the busy women: they are MOBILE! With so few mobile spas left in the city this is such a good service – and the mobile services are the same or just a bit more than what they cost in the lounge. Great deal for the women on the go.
Lastly, I wanted to take some pics of the lounge for this review, but Catherine was so great to send me these flicks. Come and check this place out for yourself and get the LUXE-ury treatment all women need and deserve!
