J.French Beauty and Spa — Local services in Toronto

My partner and I travel to Toronto often and I am SO happy we discovered J French Spa!! We had an amazing hot stone massage in a room set up for couples. My partner experienced his first massage ever and is a convert. I have frequent massages and this hot stone massage was outstanding. In previous hot stone massage experiences I have been underwhelmed often feeling the pressure and overall quality of the massage was not up to expectations. At J French Spa they used the hot stones to enhance the massage and used very firm pressure with the stones vs. using them only to heat your muscles. The massage included a back polish. We will be returning our next weekend trip to Toronto.

I sent an email enquiry the night before, after hours, and received a response with appointment options within a very short time. Jennifer confirmed the time and was able to do my Brazilian wax prior to the massage. Jennifer's waxing technique is excellent and as someone who waxes every 4-6 weeks I can attest to this being the least painful wax I have had. She took her time and was meticulous. After she was finished she gave me the opportunity to view the results to ensure my satisfaction.

Jennifer has been in business over 10 years and has been at this Yorkville-Bloor location over a year. While the spa is small it has very comfortable seating in the waiting area and has a lovely scent in the spa. The rooms have low lighting and are very conducive to a relaxing experience. The spa was meticulous; bathroom was super clean and very pretty.

I highly recommend J French...

Went and got a massage with hot-stone and I would probably rate it one of the best massage I've had. The room was relaxing, the ambience was great. The masseuse I had was fantastic, the pressure is just right, not too soft and not too over powering. They were able to cram a full body massage in a 60 minute session and that was quite impressive, I don't think I've ever really gotten every part of my body massaged that well in a 60 minute session. It was also my first time trying the hot-stone as part of the massage, and I wasn't sure what to expect at first as I thought they just put those stones on your back and let them sit, and I was completely wrong, they actually use the stones to massage and rub your muscles while they maintain their heat, and that was one of the best experience I've had for a long time. The heat really helps soothing your muscles and the smooth surface of the stone also makes the pressure point a bit more focused. Overall I would say this place is worth checking out if you're looking for a great massage for...

If I could give it a no star, I would. Poor customer quality experience. Had waxing done and she just slapped in the wax without even checking if the temperature was fine for the customer. Then, without warning, just placed the waxing paper and ripped it off. From my experience in other places, they would warn me and asked me to breathe then they rip the paper off as to lessen the pain. But for this place, nope. Just slabbed the wax, put the paper and rip it off like I'm some kind of object. Also, when I tried looking at what she was doing, I'm pretty sure she was only using one wax paper the whole time because I see a lot of hair in the paper and just placing it back and ripping it off from my skin. No surprise that after only just 2-3 days, I started to have hair growing in no time. Not even worth it. I've had places who are more affordable but has...
