We are all guilty of not exploring or enjoying things in our own backyard. I live 90 minutes from Niagara Falls and how often have I been there? The same goes for where I live in my hometown Guelph, Ontario. One sweet day spa has emerged that I was invited to try, the Acqua Quebec Studio and Retreat. Owner and lead hairstylist Pina Marfisi has owned the Acqua hair on Wyndham Street since 1997.
When a location at 30 Quebec Street became available the space was designed and styled for something very special, Pina had envisioned what she wanted.
She opened Acqua Quebec Studio and Retreat in the summer of 2015 as an Aveda Concept Spa. It has the look and feel of a big city day spa but offers small town friendliness, reasonable pricing and to me that's the best combination!
The lux decor and furnishings are set on a white background with punches of teal blue and brown throughout. The spa menu offers complete aesthetic and hair services. It is easy to choose from and offers packages that would make anyone happy. I had a Luxury Facial with spa staff facial specialist Carolina Andino. It was ninety minutes of pure bliss and is a total head to toe experience. It is customized to your skin needs like anti-aging or moisturizing.
The facial included a deep cleanse and while the mask is on I received a relaxing massage for my scalp, neck, shoulders as well as a arm and hand massage. My feet were even treated to a fantastic foot massage. After a facial all clients are treated to a makeup touch-up before going out the door.
You leave refreshed and looking your best. Yes it is over the top and it is entirely an all-encompassing experience and the best part…. it’s right in my own backyard!
