Review: Hair removal
Thorough Brazilians, bikinis and Euros (a hybrid of the two that leaves you bare save for a
trim triangle) keep locals, socialites and visiting celebrities on this Yorkville hot spot’s client roster. The ingrown-plagued should sign up for a slathering of Comfort Zone’s Soft Sense fluid post-wax; the soothing blend of willow and witch hazel helps to slow hair regrowth between appointments. Bikini, $35, Brazilian, $70, Euro, $45.
Spas
Strategically nestled between the swanky Four Seasons Hotel and dining hot spot Michelle’s Brasserie, this year-old addition to the neighbourhood is the offshoot of Yorkville hair salon Axistudio. Try the relaxing Aromasoul Arabian Massage ($180), which “uses gentle touch and slow, rhythmic movements,” explains beauty therapist Sarah Ojeda. To start, a creamy mix of exfoliating jojoba beads is rubbed over every limb and your torso. After a warm rinse, a blend of seven essential oils from Italy’s luxurious Comfort Zone skin care line is kneaded over your body, face and scalp.
