Going to Serenity for years and always had a great experience. However, with the business change I learned I was no longer able to use my gift card after September 30th. The few appointments I had before this date there was no verbal mention, nothing posted in the window, even the automated phone message failed to mention a Serenity Spa gift card would no longer be valid. There’s no effort to work with clients to allow them to use their gift cards. Will not be returning.
I love this spa! I highly recommend coming here for treatments, especially their waxing services. I have tried other places but this spa outshines with their professionalism and attention to their work.
Absolutely amazing couples massage! The masseuses really know what they are doing. My partner and I floated out of the spa on a cloud of pure bliss. I would go here every day if I could.
The place is beautiful, the price is fair and Kayla is amazing. I went there for a hair color and I was impressed. They are following all COVID precautions, so don’t be afraid of going.
Kayla was great as always! I’d recommend her to anyone I know!
Replicated what I wanted and gave me tips on how to style it which I really appreciated! Cody did a great job!
I brought my mother here for a mani-pedi last year and have also been for a massage once last year. The massage was awkward as the massage therapist started telling me about personal things about her family that were a bit awkward and unprofessional. I didn't complain as she seemed nice and I didn't want her to get in trouble. When my mom and I arrived for the mani-pedi the receptionist was wearing a TON of heavy perfume, which almost made my mom feel sick and I wasn't sure if we would be able to stay for our appointment. She was also not friendly and kind of rude, she didn't seem to care that her perfume was making my mom gag and she had to leave the room. It's not a terrible spa, but also not my favourite spa experience by a long shot. I will likely not go back because of these experiences, even though the other staff were professional and the mani-pedi itself was nice.
To be honest, the best hair cut i have ever had! All the staffs were awsum and especially Cassandra, tq u so much making me feel so happy. And ur the bst really enjoyed ur company. The best place ever and definitely will be back for more stuffs to try, and highly recommend!
Massage was well done. The body wrap was explained well prior to starting so I would know what to expect. Maureen was very respectful and professional. Thank you!
Amazing as usual. Great energy. I left feeling refreshed and well taken care of. I absolutely recommend Maureen’s services at Symphony Spa in the heart of Kingston Ontario.
Great staff. Great services.
Genuine estheticians, quality products and drinks, sensitive to your needs. Hot stone massage is extremely worth it!
Almost painless wax! Was very nice and made me feel super comfortable, which helped distracted me from the wax itself. A great first experience!
Had a great day.....
Great service and experience. Highly recommended!
Cody my stylist created a brand new hair style for me. So excited. It looks exactly liked I hoped for. Awesome.
This is an easy 5 stars to give! I recommend to all
I had a wonderful day at Symphony Spa. Everyone is friendly and the setting is peaceful and beautiful. I highly recommend Cody the stylist and Dailis the esthetician. They were so personable and skilled, it was a treat. I look forward to my next visit.
Best smoothie I have had in quite some time!! And amazing human beings running the place:). Keep up the great changes and good work!!
Cute place with great people!
My husband and I had a couples massage they were kind and accommodating even when we had to change our appointment. Beautiful spa and the massage was amazing. I will be back!
This was my first time at Serenity Spa and I know that I will definitely be back! Thanks to Dailis for a great experience and for making me feel so comfortable :)
I have been colouring my hair for 6 years with the same product and formula and am very specific about my hair because I love it. While staying in Kingston I needed my hair done so I looked on line for salons that used Goldwell products. I looked on Serenity Spa's website and under services for hair it says we proudly use Goldwell products in our salon with a photo of the logo. I booked my appointment and when I arrived they informed me they had changed products and didn't use it anymore. The stylist seemed confused about whether she could even match the colour. First she said as long as I had no allergies it was fine, then said if ive been using a different product for a while it might not turn out right. Frustrated and worried my hair would end up the complete wrong colour. I was very disappointed with the inconsistency on the website and lack of knowledge they seemed to have. Would not recommend going here unless you are willing to take a gamble. I wasnt, overall this took up a huge chunk of my day with commuting and waiting, all to walk out with my roots still grown in.
I had my first LED LIGHT THERAPY for anti-Aging, with Angela at Symphony Spa and Yoga. Angela was absolutely amazing. She took time to analyze my skin and asked questions about my cleansing routine and what products I was currently using. Angela is very knowledgeable on all the products used at the spa, and knows exactly what each product helps with. She asked, what results I wanted to see, then she explained the number of treatments needed for me to achieve those results. Then, Angela gave me an amazing facial cleanse with the perfect touch followed by the LED Light Therapy (Infrared light) Because Angela is a registered reflexologist she gave me an incredible relaxing foot massage during the treatment. I was so relaxed, I actually fell asleep. I highly recommend Angela and her LED Light therapy panel, that contours around your face for anti-aging. And for those who have acne prone skin, ask for Angela’s Blue Light therapy.
Favourite Place!
I had, at best, a mediocre experience at this spa. I was in Kingston on a holiday weekend and the manicurist couldn't stop talking about how she didn't want to be there, and couldn't wait to get home to her family. I had booked a half day at the spa, so this wasn't really a promising start. I chose a fairly dark color for my finger nails, and when she starting using it I noticed it was quite thick. I asked if I should choose another color but she said it was fine.The manicurist got nail polish on my cuticles and on my fingers. I asked her to please remove it, and she at first did, but then stopped. My pedicure was moderately better, with the staff member at least behaving professionally. I also had my hair blown out in the salon but at this point I just wanted to leave. Given the price, and the they way they advertise themselves, I was shocked to have this type of service. No one seemed bothered that I was unhappy with my experience, despite my showing them my manicure and asking for someone to please at least neaten it up. I asked my husband to stop by Shoppers for nail polish remover, so I could remove all the staining on my fingers, and ended up just removing the nail polish completely. I've had far better manicure/pedicures in little shops that charge 35 dollars for both, and have zero atmosphere, than at this so called "spa". I will never go back, and won't recommend it.
My go to place for waxing and registered massages. Great vibe and staffs are always welcoming!
Maya was amazing! Great nails, great customer service, and all in all a wonderful person! Very polite and a great conversationalist. She shaped the nails nicely and added extra coats of nail polish when needed. Highly recommend!
Very friendly and kind staff that always cater to my needs
Great place to get a massage! I've had hair removal done here - very professional and friendly. Also had makeup and hair done for an event, which turned out beautifully. I'd happily recommend Serenity Spa.
Dominique was absolutely wonderful! Very professional and very warm. Put me at ease very quickly.
Went to a haircut at the Spa several times and it was really good. The hairdresser knew exactly what i wanted for my hairstyle and gave lots of good suggestions. Besides that, I have tried registered massage and they are professional. the staffs there are friendly. The price is also reasonable They have nice coffee room which offers desert and drinks
All the staff is super friendly and personable. Best pedicure I have ever head and mimosas were fantastic. I recommend to all!
This review is divided into two, because sadly inside the massage room, and in the rest of the spa were TOTALLY different experiences.I took my wife this weekend as a surprise anniversary gift. I had booked the time weeks in advance and was told to arrive ten minutes early to meet the girls who would be doing our massage and go over the fine points. half an hour after our massage was supposed to begin, we still had not been seen, and were left sitting there with no apologies what so ever. Just as we walked out and told them we were just going to leave, all of a sudden they had a room ready for us, still with no apologies what so ever. However, once we got into the room, the two girls we had doing our massages were great. they were friendly and talkative, the one doing my wifes massage was soft and tender as she needed, while the one doing mine was not afraid to go as hard as was needed to give me what i needed and we left the room feeling relaxed. Sadly after we left the room, it was back to the rudeness of the front desk people, and being given attitude by people who were clearly more regulars than us the Cafe people refused to even give us our champagne saying it was not in our package. Overall, great experience in the massage room, poor rude and dissapointing experience in the rest of the spa.
Such a beautiful place, with amazing staff! Can't wait to go back!
Can't wait for my massage tomorrow!! My neck n shoulders are so stiff and Nik always does such an amazing job at wat he does!!
Dailies is absolutely amazing!! Best massage I've ever had! I also had a facial too.... I walked in my home and my husband noticed it right away.... Said I was glowing!! Thank You so much!! Looking forward to my next appointment with you!!
Had an excellent experience with the “time for me” package, felt great to invest in myself. Everyone was so friendly and Dailis was very professional and skilled! I felt very rejuvenated afterwards!
Had my roots and cut done by Kayla. Left not only looking AMAZING but feeling amazing, too! She is the best! Always makes it fun! She listens to what you want and then offers suggestions to nail the look. Plus she's a perfectionist (in the best sense of the word!) and does amazing scalp massages! I will definitely be back!
Melanie was wonderful! Thank you!
I went today spontaneously! I got some lash extensions and I absolutely love them! My husband got an açai bowl and said it was delicious! The staff are very friendly and the shop is very clean! Overall great environment. Will most likely return for fills on my lashes!
Lovely place, the staff are all very friendly and professional and do everything to make their clients feel comfortable. Only place I go to get waxes anymore
Arza makes every appointment wonderful with her warm and charismatic nature. Whether it's for waxing, massages, or facials she will make your experience special every time.
Kayla was exceptional and really made me feel at ease along with the rest of the staff. Kayla did a wonderful job & will definitely go back !
Such a great experience with Alex! Thank you so much for making my experience safe, fun and most of all making my brows and nails have some life again. Will definitely be back! Erica
The couples massage very relaxing. The deep tissue massage was very effective.
My sister and I attended the Bridal social on Saturday February 2nd and really enjoyed ourself! The space is very unique, clean and inviting! The staff we talked with were very excited, eager and knowledgable! I am interested to see the day to day workings of the space after the event!
I'm very disappointed. My husband bought me a gift certificate for the day spa (any 4 specialty treatments and up to 7hrs imagine how pricey that was) for our anniversary. I've never been to the spa like so many others and I've never had anyone think of doing something like this for me. He made the appointment for me for tomorrow and today we received a call back to say that the appointment would have to be cancelled because they didn't have enough people. Apparently for the day spa they need 3 people. So instead of asking my husband what it was that I wanted to have done and try to accommodate, they just flat out cancelled. If they had bothered to ask they would have known that I only wanted a cut/style/color and a back massage. I had even planned to get gift certificates for my daughters for Christmas to have a nice sisters day together...now they've lost customers and gained a bad review. I certainly hope they refund the GC. But I am certainly happy to say that I got an appointment last minute, elsewhere, for my hair to be done and my husband and I will go somewhere else for a couples massage :)
This place is amazing! Very friendly service and professional! Also had a message and facial which felt wonderful!
This was my first time at Symphony Spa and Yoga and I was far from disappointed with the service I received from Kayla in the hair studio. She cut and coloured my hair just the way I had wanted it to look. The place was clean and maintained, very friendly front desk that made me feel very welcomed as soon as I walked through the door. Refreshments offered while waiting and getting my hair done. It was all lovely and I look forward to experiencing more to what they have to offer!
Always a lovely time!
Fantastic service from all staff I interacted with at Symphony. Kris made me feel comfortable in her chair and gave me a beautiful cut, colour, and style. I will definitely be returning!
Our pedicure aestheticians were amazing! A good combination of friendly/chatty but also let us have time to ourselves for us to catch up. Our peach scrub and the hot stone treatments were wonderful! And their attention to detail for our foot polish was on point! Highly recommend!
Amazing service, loved every second ❤️
My sister and I had a wonderful couples massage experience. The therapists were fantastic, and the glass of champagne was the perfect finish. May I suggest quieter/more efficient massage oil dispensers as the sound was distracting as there were 2 people using it in the one space. But not that or the emergency vehicle sirens could take away from the excellent massages.
I went too see Cody after my hair had been absolutely ruined by another salon and let me tell you this saint fixed it and made my hair look the best its ever looked. He was so amazing with making sure my hair wasn't taking more damage than needed and made it feel and look so healthy! It was the best salon experience I've ever had, HIGHLY recommend Cody for any of your hair needs!
I love Melanie, the owner of this spa (with her husband Philippe). It is such a calming space and makes you feel welcome. Whether you’re in for a spa treatment, the hair salon, yoga or just a quick bite at the smoothie bar it’s just lovely. On a nice day the upper balcony is a perfect space to relax, enjoy the sun and chill out. I highly recommend this full-service Spa.
Had a massage by Maureen today. Very professional, friendly & good at her job! I'll b back!
I enjoyed every aspect of my appointment with Katie. She did a wonderful job completing my Purifying Acne Facial; explaining the different steps, the products used and why, and ensuring my comfort and relaxation. Thank you so much and I will be back soon:)
Normally I would rank this as a 5, but not this time. Had my back waxed, usually the esthetician leaves, and waits until you acknowledge you're ready before entering. Didn't happen, stood there waiting for me to take my shirt off. Whatever, it's just a shirt, and I'm a dude, no big deal, but not what I'm used to. Starts working on me, she tries to engage in small talk, and asks if I'm going to the beach. I say yes, she asks which one, and I tell her a local one. She scoffed and replied "that's not a real beach, that's a lake" ooook? She continues to trek me there are no beaches around here. I mention Sandbanks, she replies with "it's not a real beach, it's a lake". Like, really? Why the hell are YOU engaging in a conversation which you chose the topic of, if your only intention is to argue with your client? Good luck racking in the tips!
Thank you for all the great service..a very relaxing experience!
I went to Kris to have my hair coloured and I am beyond happy with the result! She did an amazing balayage and she really cared about making sure I got the colour I was hoping for! I highly recommend going to see her for your next colour treatment! :)
Great service
We had an excellent experience! Our staff were so friendly and had amazing technique. The women made it a relaxing and fun environment and we were so impressed with our pedicures, massage, and facial. Would highly reccomend.
I love this place.It was an amazing experience i definitely recommend trying out this wonderful place of peace and relaxation
I visited the spa yesterday to get my makeup done for graduation photos. Kayla was friendly, worked quickly, and is clearly very knowledgeable about her craft. She did airbrush makeup for my foundation, so it looked flawless in the photos, and a subtle rusty-red eyeshadow. Looked beautiful and I felt like a princess. Will definitely be coming here again.
Best spa..really friendly and thoughtful staff
Always great service at Symphony! The massage was heaven and the blow out was gorgeous! Thank you ☺️
Cody does a highly detailed and amazing job with haircuts. I recommend him to everyone that asks couldn't be happier after a cut. Thanks!
LOVE this spa, I went to get my hair cut here today and everything about the experience blew me away. Everyone was really friendly, it had a beautiful calm atmosphere and best of all my hair turned out great! I would highly recommend this place!
Kayla was beyond great! Very personable and brought my hair back to health :) Excellent local business
Loved my spa day experience! Highly recommend all their services!
Had my hair done by Cody today! After completing a free hair consultation with me, He did amazing blonde highlights!! He took his time, explained what he was doing throughout and styled it beautifully at the end! I ordered a delicious chicken Caesar wrap while my hair was processing and it was massive, I was quite impressed! Very friendly, excellent service all around that I would recommend to anyone!! I will be back!
I absolutely love coming here. The staff are amazing, polite and personal. I haven’t visited in a year and they remembered me, asked about my family and made my visit feel like I was catching up with friends. They remain professional and provide top notch services and the prices are hard to beat. It’s a one-stop shop for all self-care needs. I got a great haircut today and I’m going back in 2 weeks for a massage and I can’t wait.
I love Serenity Spa.The atmosphere really is serene, which is not always present in some other businesses of the same nature. The waiting room is lovely, and there are beverages and treats available while you wait. The wait is never long, though. The staff have always done an excellent job.
I had a really great experience at the spa it was a beautiful place and wonderful experience. Will be returning in the future
I had my second bikini wax with Alex and she was great. She made me feel comfortable right away ( I’m pretty shy about these things!). She was professional and made it as painless as possible. I will definitely go back to Alex and Symphony Spa regularly now. Lovely staff.
Thank you so much! Melanie me feel so comfortable and well taken care of!
Kris is very kind and attentive. Perfectly understood what I wanted and got me 100% satisfied.
I had a signature massage with Dominique. She did a wonderful job, it was very relaxing. Everyone at the spa is very kind and accommodating. I will definitely be back!
our first time at Symphony was amazing. Celebrated our 3rd Anniversary by enjoying a Couples Massage + Champagne afterwards. Friendly service, left feeling relaxed and it didn't break the bank :D we'll be back for sure!
I loved the service and my haircut was perfect. Chris did my hair and she was great.
All of the staff are very friendly, and Cody is an amazing hairstylist!!! My hair looks gorgeous and it was worth every nickle!!! He has the best advice for whatever you want done with your hair, and he is so happy and fun to be around!!! Will be a repeat customer many more times!!!
My partner and I have had a few “couple massages” at different locations but this one far exceeded our expectations. Staff are friendly and massages were done to our liking (time taken, preference on how much pressure etc). The room was lovely with the fireplace and background music. We were instantly relaxed. The champagne at the end is a nice touch. We will definitely recommend. Thanks!
If you want hair colouring genius ask for Kayla
Extremely beautiful spa, and the staff are amazing! Will definitely be back.
I have been to the SPA few times. They have made the new changes in the new year and I absolutely like the jewelry and little earrings in the receptionist area! The girl who did my hair was fabulous, the color of the product is exactly what i wanted. Although the rooms are bit outdated but the service is good. i would recommend.
I first got my brows waxed here june 29th and I've been happy since. So decided to go here again today and still impressed. Thank you!
This was my first time at Symphony Spa, what an amazing experience with Natasha. The spa was clean, inviting and professional. Natasha asked me my preferences and delivered a phenomenal massage and facial, she discussed other services that would benefit me in the future and paid attention to details to share with me at the end of the appointment. I will definitely book again. Thank you!
What a wonderful experience! I know this was a spa before, but this is not the same spa under new management...this is a whole new spa! I was able to speak with the owner for a moment and her vision for both the space and services promises to be nothing like it was before! Add to that a fabulous pedicure for only $30! I'll be back, and I'll be bringing all my friends.
Amazing haircut and love the smoothies
Super friendly and professional. Very knowledge and brilliant at their jobs. Highly reccommend.
I had a great time there, the employees were super nice and polite. The covid protocols were really helpful to people visiting the spa. I had my balayage and hair cut done by Cody, he was such an awesome person, had good suggestions on the hair colour and it came out really beautiful. He was doing everything just like the way I wanted, with so much dedication and making it so perfectly. I was so impressed with the service. Also I had a service with Angela, she is also very knowledgeable, friendly and nice lady. She did my eyebrows exactly the same way what I told her or better than what I told to do. I would strongly recommend this place and will definitely visit next time.
Love the Spa... I had a very good massage and learned lots from April. I will definitely be back.
10/10 service. Maureen is a wonderful masseuse to have. She is friendly and very welcoming.
Amanda was excellent! I will be back for sure
First time at this spa, got my eyebrows done. Lovey experience, everyone was super welcoming and nice!
Excellent service, my feet are feeling much better!
Cody is awesome!! Highly recommend him as a hair stylist
The employees greet you at the door and are super polite. They have very good covid protocols in place as well. Hand sanitizers, wipes, and masks. Cody was a fantastic hair dresser as well, helped make some very good suggestions on how to do my hair. It came out perfect! He was very precise on detail, and made sure everything was done to my liking. Would definitely recommend this place and barber!
Danielle was able to give me the lips I’ve been hunting for. Thank you so much for everything- my experience was out of this world. Sincerely, Chantel
Nice venue. Sweet people and good services.
Great massage, really strong hands and she focused on the areas I specified. She knew about the body and the problems I was having which was clear by the way she commented on specific things during the massage. Would def have her again!
I had a great experience. Kate did my hair exactly the way I wanted it. Everyone was very friendly.
Kayla did a wonderful job in transforming my hair, and provided excellent, friendly and efficient service. Loved my experience at this salon! Would definitely recommend to friends and family
I had such a beautiful Spa Day at Symphony Spa. All the staff were welcoming, helpful and friendly from the front desk greeters to the girl at the cafe and of course, Azra, who took care of me. She is absolutely exceptional. Best massage, facial and pedicure I have ever had.
The entire experience from start to finish was amazing! Had a fantastic massage. The facial was incredible & had a great mani/pedi. My hair looked fabulous after my appointment. I would recommend this wonderful establishment to everyone & the food was wonderful! The staff were Brilliant also.
Ursula at Symphony Spa is professional, excellent at her job and very thorough. I highly recommend her as an esthetician for any spa treatments
Kris was amazing with my hair. I have a brown hair and still managed to get such beautiful colors in there. Along with an amazing cut. Went above and beyond and drinks I grabbed the hot chocolate they offered when you checkin were so nice. I will be going here for everything from now on
Viola is wonderful! I always look forward to my appointments with her. She does an amazing job and is hilarious too!
I really rate this experience a 2.5. The atmosphere was ok and the staff were friendly. The pedicure, however, was nothing spectacular. I booked a Pedicure Ritual and ParaffinTreatment for my husband and I, but I didn't even know what I was booking because there are no descriptions on the website. It was basically a regular pedicure that included a scrub and massage (though my husband's massage was more of a quick rub) as well as the paraffin. It also seemed as though the girl who did my toes (while very nice) didn't really know how to put nail polish on (start in the middle and work your way out). No one confirmed what we were getting when we got there. I just notices after looking further that there were men-specific pedicures. I feel as though someone should have said something and guided us to the correct service. But because I booked the most expensive service, no one said anything. I am disappointed. The pedicure area was also very uncomfortable and we both left with a sore back. I'm quite dissatisfied with our service and I'm upset we spent as much as we did. It was nearly $200 (with a glass of wine and very expensive smoothie)... what we got was not worth $200. If we ever visit Kingston again, we won't be going back to Symphony.
Amanda did an absolutely fantastic job cutting my kids' hair. She was so kind and friendly, putting them both at ease, and their haircuts are so stylish. We really appreciated her hard work and friendliness.
Absolutely love this spa, hair salon, yoga studio and it’s staff that make it such an amazing place! thank you so much for everything that you do ????
Had a great lunch and smoothies. Phil and Mel are so friendly and welcoming
Great atmosphere. Staff is super friendly. Lots of nice "extras".
Symphony Spa is one of my favourite places in Kingston! It's truly a relaxing experience from the moment you enter the spa and are greeted by its beautiful interior, soft music, and complimentary beverages. The spa itself (esp. the waiting area and café) is super cute, clean, and tranquil with lots of natural light. The staff are also all very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable! I love that the spa offers such a wide variety of services and I find the quality excellent and consistent across the board. Facials are so relaxing (shout-out to Darian for painless extractions) and my skin looks and feels so much more glowy and rested after. Treating myself to wellness weekends at Symphony is a highlight of my month and I'd def recommend to anyone looking to treat themselves to high-quality services with friendly, professional staff in a beautiful place. :)
Very relaxing day. Maureen has magic...of that I am sure. Excellent lunch...massage.. facial..and pedicure. Very friendly staff all around. Sister and I had a great time.
Had therapeutic massage. It was wonderful.
Most amazing experience at the new Symphony Spa. Authentic wellness in all their treatments...I should know I've had them all!!! Brought my mother recently for some quality time together and this NEW spa blows serenity out of the water...totally brought this space to 2018. This is a must try and a beautiful jem in the beautiful city of Kingston.
I came here to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday with a surprise couple's massage! The service was great as soon as we entered the door as we were kindly greeted. From there, we were brought to our room and made to feel comfortable. The massage itself was very professional and made our experience that much more enjoyable. The facility is maintained very well as everything we came in contact with was disinfected which was nice to see. I recommend the couple's massage to anyone looking for a unique experience with their significant other!
Worst manicure I have ever received in my lifetime. A child would do a better job. I tried to address this issue through an email and was simply ignored.
The staff is very friendly and such clean businesses. Had my appointment with Viola. Very friendly and provided great service . Highly recommended booking with Viola.
Excellent service. Friendly and personable technician. 10/10 would reccomend Maya to EVERYONE!
The spa is clean, nice but nothing fancy. Best part is the roof top patio. Had an overpriced half day couples pkg with lunch and, My face still had white heads after the facial. Almost no pressure applied during massage, and my feet needed another pedi 7 days later. Not going again. Staff & ambience are nice though.
I had a great massage courtesy of Melanie. The staff are friendly and helpful and it was a lovely space!
My massage from Dailis was number one would recommend her to everyone!
Amazing place! Everyone is so nice and friendly. Make you feel special ✨ Love the easy online booking. Thank you! See you soon
Great staff, very friendly. Definitely recommend it to everyone.
They were very accommodating, the service was great and the treatment very pleasant. I love that you can book for more than one person on line.
I booked an appointment for a haircut and eyebrow wax - I was supposed to get the haircut first and then the eyebrow wax. I came a few minutes early and waited in the waiting room for 15 minutes. Finally, someone came in and led to get the eyebrow wax. I was confused as I was supposed to get the haircut first, but I thought it wasn't a big deal. The eyebrow lady was excellent and SO nice and wonderful. I was happy after my eyebrow wax and ready to get my haircut. The hairstylist came up to me and informed that she could not "accommodate" me because I "booked two things at the same time" and at that point she had another client that she needed to see. This was extremely frustrating and disappointing because the hairstylist made it seem like it was my fault?? She asked if I wanted to reschedule and of course I said no. I was on time, the hairstylist was late, and I was blamed for their inability to schedule their clients. It wasn't even a busy day. Really disappointed.
I've been a long time client of Serenity throughout my four years at Queen's, and in recent months I've noticed some cool changes at the spa. A change in ownership has led to some more updated decor and finishings! I'm excited to see how the services, staff and spa as a whole continue to grow!! Excited to continue to use my student discount next year in post grad!!
I have visited Serenity several times in the past and have always been satisfied with the service. However, my last visit was truly bizarre; I debated trying to escape in the middle of my hair appointment. Beginning with a slight language barrier and my stylist talking about having learned everything from Pinterest and Youtube, I questioned from the start whether she had any formal training. She went on to fumble with the towel and clips, hesitate for long periods of time before cutting or combing, and did not have professional equipment. I actually started to think I was being pranked. Lastly, when she tried to show me the back of my hair after the cut, she didn't know how to hold the mirror and I saw nothing. Thankfully my hair did not suffer incredibly, but there was no styling involved and I raced out of their in disbelief. Like I said, I have had good experiences in the past here, but their employees seem to vary widely in their expertise and training and don't measure up to a consistent standard.
I loved my “Scandinavian Escape” package with Dominique. She was so wonderful and kind through out the whole experience. I really needed to treat myself and she went above and beyond to make sure that happened. My skin is glowing and my muscles are very relaxed. I highly recommend her and will be making regular appointments with her in the near future. The whole environment was welcoming and luxurious and all the staff here are top-tier!
Just had the very Best massage in my life by Nantanna. I was sore before my massage and now I feel great, I can turn my head both way no problem. It was a deep tissus massage. I will definitely come back as a regular customer.
Arza was great! Lovely experience :)
As always, I just had the best facial from Ursula! Staff are very friendly and it is always a nice, relaxing atmosphere.
I went there for a 5 hour spa package and was incredibly pleased. The first thing I got was a massage and probably the best massage I had ever received. Between services they put you in this tea room with juices and small snack that are very good. The staff was very friendly and everything I had done was amazing. I would recommend this to everyone.
Nice ✂️hair cut, great service.
I booked a spa day for my daughter, my daughter-in-law and myself on April 1st. I booked and paid for massages, pedicures and manicures to the tune of $565.00 not including tip. We left the spa and went immediately to a restaurant for dinner and my daughter-in/laws nail polish was peeling off. That was only a fraction of all that was wrong as both my manicure and pedicure were beyond a mess, not surprising given none of us even saw anything that resembled a dryer on our hands and feet. I took pictures of the "messes" and sent them to the Spa first thing Monday morning and requested a refund of part of what I paid. I was told a refund could not be authorized but they would send me a gift certificate. I received the certificate but realized after this absolutely horrible experience why in the name of heaven would I want to go back there. I wrote a letter and included a copy of the certificate and said I did not wish to return to their establishment, would return the certificate and wanted a refund. To date, I have not received a response and I advised them I would take to social media if they did not have the common decency to respond. That letter was mailed 7 weeks ago so I am following through with what I said I was going to do. I am a legal assistant and also advised I will definitely proceed to obtain a refund through proper legal channels. I hope to post photos in the comments of this thread . I share this story so you are aware of what could happen should you book at Serenity Spa.
Had a lady names Holy do my lashes a few weeks ago. They were horrible. They were not that full and after a few days they hurt. I never had lashes hurt before so i want to another place, and the girl explained that my lashes were glues together, causing them to get pulled out. The ones that were not glue to each other started falling out after a few days, before i had to get them fixed.
Just enjoyed the conversation with Arza she makes you feel at ease and takes special care when looking after you. I felt like a new woman. Thank you so much.
Angela did an amazing job!! Great atmosphere!
Violetta is amazing!! So professional and you can tell she really knows her stuff! So happy I found her through a coworker a few years ago. She does such a great job that I followed her to her new spa location.
My daughter had a bad experience at another salon. She had shown a picture of the light blonde she wanted and ended up with orange hair. Although they offered to “try” to fix it with some highlights, for a charge, we just didn’t trust them. She had gotten her hair done by a girl named Kayla for her Grade 8 graduation and she was really happy with it and LOVED Kayla. We found out that Kayla had changed jobs and now worked at Symphony Spa. We try to avoid going downtown but this was important and we wanted her hair done right! Kayla was able to book her an appointment in a couple of days to make sure she got the student discount. Kayla spent 5 HOURS with my daughter and dedicated all her time to her to make things right. I was there for the last 2 of the 5 hours with them and Kayla meticulously took care of her hair. Not only did she get rid of the orange, she made her hair look like the picture of what she wanted and made my daughter extremely happy! Kayla is truly an artist! Super friendly, professional and dedicated to making her clients very happy! There is no doubt we will be making the trip downtown for all our hair appointments from now on.
The new owners are not honouring previously bought gift certificates from Serenity Spa "because they are not the same spa", but they continue to use all of serenity spas reviews (aka this Google review), and website ect. They are "no longer serenity spa" only when it no longer benefits them.
Receptionist was very kind, hospitality services were excellent. Although, the girl who did my shellac nails and lashes did not seem to know what she was doing, hurt my fingers multiple times, and moves insanely slow. My shellac nails lasted only A WEEK when they normally stay on me for about a month, and my lashes also stayed with my for five days only. Not impressed at all... such a waste of money! Not sure if I'll be going back.
I have always had the best service here and everyone is really nice. I always going to the same person for my service and I absolutely adore her! She is fast an efficient and does not make the visit boring. I’ve been going here for years now and I don’t have any plans on changing business's. I would highly recommend this place.
Super friendly, had a wonderful time chatting with my massage therapist throughout our time together. Felt very relaxed afterwards, she just went above and beyond. We will definitely be returning. Thank you for your hard work.
Jessica is amazing!!! I had my massage and facial from her on my birthday. Everything was amazing rooms, service, products. I will recommend everyone to visit symphony spa in Kingston. Thank-you so much jesska for making my birthday super amazing and relaxing.
My experience was excellent. Danielle was very nice and gave me so much confidence that I didn’t even feel any pain because I was so relaxed. She have a beautiful personality and very professional.
I really can't say enough good things about my experience here! Everyone was SO nice, my technician had over 18 years of experience and I am so happy with the results!!! They even fit me in last minute in a pinch. Five plus stars and will definitely go back!
Fantastic massage today! I left feeling very relaxed. The tension I carry in my shoulders and neck is gone. Thanks again!
Great service! Arza always makes me feel welcome and comfortable and I am always happy with my visit
One of the Best Pedicures I have ever had!! Amazing Staff and Atmosphere
My massage was absolutely incredible!! Melanie was so amazing and made me feel so comfortable! My body feels like a literal cloud after this experience! Will definitely be heading back soon! Thank you so much again!!
Kris transformed my hair!! I couldn't be happier with the results. The colour, the cut, it's everything that I wanted and more. She went above and beyond and made me feel comfortable the whole time and made sure I understood the process in what she was doing to my hair. Thank you again!
I had a full head of highlights and cut with Kris. She was phenomenal! Very attentive and patient and my hair looks amazing!
Melanie had excellent touch leaving me fully relaxed after my one hour massage. She and Maureen gave my wife and I the best massages we have had in a long time!
We got a couples massage- simply amazing massage. We are SO pleased with both ladies capabilities and will most definitley be returning. Nothing but great things to say about the massage, location, staff, food etc. Will be recommending to all our family and friends. THANK YOU!!!!
Cody was so great and I left feeling overjoyed. Very professional and high end.
I had eyelash extensions done here two weeks ago. The first day I had them done they looked beautiful. Day by day more and more of the extensions were falling off without my actual lash attached, meaning that they were falling off because of the glue used and not because the natural lash was naturally coming out and shedding. Two weeks later I have one or two extension left on each eye. They look beautiful at first but are 100% not long lasting. I have had extensions done at other places in Ottawa and they have lasted around 3-4 weeks, sad to say I won’t be back.
Something went wrong between the 2 confirmation emails I received & their schedule. I waiting 30 mins then left. Hope to try it one day :(
Thank you for a great "spa" experience! Alex made my experience great from start to finish! Very friendly staff all around! Will definitely be going back in the near future. LAP
I'm in food service and the hours and work is difficult on the body, but every time I come here and get a massage I leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. The barbers are also extremely knowledgeable and have a remarkable attention to detail, fantastic service all around!
Cassandra did an amazing job on my hair today. She cut it exactly how I wanted it and took her time to ensure it was done well. It’s so much lighter and a lot more refreshing. ????
Cody did an amazing job on my hair! Fun clean service!
Went in today for my first appointment to have my hair coloured and i love it <3 totally recommended them they work with you and what you want, especially cody Definitely returning to have it done again :)
I went for a Brazilian, and somehow got a tour of the spa. I felt gross just walking through it. The rooms upstairs were terribly outdated, and the reception area was cold. They sat me in a cafe area and told me to have whatever I wanted (nice) only the area was playing ridiculous classical cd that kept skipping. I then waited as they called two other people for my appointment (25 minutes late now) and then my aesthetician explained the girl before me had the same name and she took her instead. My service was fine only the after effects were terrible. As someone who waxes regularly I've never broken out quite as bad as that. Needless to say I won't be back.
Another great experience at Symphony. Dominique is a fantastic person, and I appreciate the work that they do for my poor feet. I look forward to our conversation and will see you again next month. Cheers.
Enjoyed my time there. The service was great, the pedicure was very relaxing. The ladies were lovely to converse with , overall it was a very great experience. Will be back for a massage.
My girl and her friend had the best time! Thank you for the amazing service they have received! They will be back :)
Everything was so amazing, very professional and kind. Recommend anyone wanting a fantastic massage or henna brow
Always a warm welcome and happy disposition with Viola and reception.
I am looking at all the Kingston Spas at this moment and checking reviews, before I book a spa day with my niece in a few weeks. I had treated myself and my niece to a spa day years ago at Serenity Spa. After reading the reviews, I can see they haven't changed much in attitude. My first experience at a spa was Serenity. After which, I wondered if people just accept feeling like it was more like a clinic, why make us wait half an hour in a waiting room. Isn't it suppose to make you feel pampered? People there treat you like an obligation making the experience cold. no kindness, eye contact reflected indifference. even the desk people were snooty. Thank you for your honest reviews, it saved me from booking a possible nasty day.
Had an amazing couple’s massage followed by champagne on the beautiful rooftop patio. So relaxing and enjoyable. Exactly what we needed. We will be back!
Had a 90 minute massage and it was lovely… left feeling completely relaxed
Very nice spa. Staff all very friendly and respectful of social distancing rules. My esthetician, Violetta, is FANTASTIC!
Lovely spa! Maureen was a terrific masseuse and aesthetician. Everyone working was friendly and welcoming. Facility is clean, inviting and relaxing. Would recommend!
Thank you for the wonderful spa experience. We will definitely be back!
So impressed with the care and attention to detail! My brows look amazing
My wife and I got to enjoy some quality time together at symphony spa while visiting Kingston.we had a hot stone massage in a beautiful spacious room together, followed by a pedicure and a glass of wine and cheese board. The staff were very professional and customer service was excellent. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Kingston.
Everyone that works at this location are very nice atmosphere is relaxing Cassandra is very knowledgeable in what she does. I felt pampered and well taken care off very pleased with the service.. already booked next appointment for hair and facial can't wait
I took my 6yo son there today for a haircut for him and I with Elyse.....superb! She is amazing and it's the second time I've been there for a haircut with her. I'm balding but she works magic, and is amazing with kids as well. My son loved it and she is super attentive and friendly and I would recommend her every time. Ps...I hate getting my hair cut but she is just out of this world. Highly recommend ppl going there and seeing her. Thank you sooooo much x
One of the best facials I’ve ever had. Maureen was wonderful! A very pleasant experience all the way around.
The new managememt have done a superb job
Everything you need at one place. Have had many different services done and never disappointed. Very happy with my recent visit having my hair done.
Had the Time for Me spa package with Maureen it was fabulous!
I had the pumpkin spiced pedicure. It was so relaxing and just what I needed. Dominique was amazing and made sure I was comfortable. I loved smelling like a pumpkin the rest of the day! Thank you!
This business has a well rounded collection of services to offer clients - from hair services to esthetics to a great smoothie & raw bar.
Staff took and hung up my jacket and while I was in the spa that jacket was stolen. It was in the middle of winter and I had no jacket to wear home and the staff and owner were beyond unhelpful. They would not review any security cameras for me (it was an expensive coat) and offered no recourse or help in recovering the item/accommodating for the loss. After following up they became very rude and dismissive. If you go here do not let them take your things to hang up/put away- they will not be accountable and do not have an adequate enough process in place to ensure that theft does not happen (at the time they did not have any such disclaimer). If you ever have an issue of substance rest assured you will be met with poor customer service.
Great massage ! My girlfriend and I enjoyed a couples massage last week...subdued lighting nd a serene classical piano soundtrack. The masseuse was intuitive and attentive but discreet at her work. It was invigorating and deeply relaxing. I was in a trance or possibly asleep for part of the hour. It was a fantastic experience ! We have committed to fo this once a month for the next six months for the bargain price of $69 per one hour session. THANKS !
What a great Day in paradise package ! Exactly what I needed : very Nice staff, great massage, facial and pedicure. Thanks for allowing a last minute booking during my vacation in Kingston !
Couldn't ask for a more polite bunch of employees. Cody you are the best at what you do and such a kind young man. Highly recommend Symphony Spa & Yoga.
Love this place for RMT. Highly recommend checking them out! Very professional and relaxing experience!
Seeing Symphony go through it's metamorphosis into what it is today, I'm happy to support this locally owned Spa & Yoga business. Clean and safe (even before Stage 3 of Covid-19 re-openings), plus expertly done pedicure and facial services (Ursula!), outstanding customer service (Philippe & Melanie!) and hair salon (Kayla!). Bonus: I have recently found an amazing, new RMT (April) who has years of experience in how the body works, how to approach overall health & wellness, and continuing your at-home stretches to get you on the road to recovery. They have a fresh approach to a spa experience, at Symphony, and deserve your business! You won't be disappointed.
Wonderful service and very professional. Cody did my hair and it looked amazing. Would recommend Symphony Hair Salon to everyone.
I was given a gift card and was eager to use to it! New year - new do. My original stylist was sick - and honestly I’m kinda glad because I got to meet Kayla! This girl knows what she is doing and fun to talk too! My appointment flew by and I’m so happy with the results! I’ll be booking back!!
Walked in and was greeted by the very friendly associates. I immediately felt relaxed listening to the soundtrack that was playing. My massage was amazing and I didn't want it to ever end! I worked on my feet all the time and was so happy I treated myself at this spa! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!!
Myself and a guest were in for 6 hours each which was for services and a meal. The services ranged from very good to exceptional and I would recommend any of hairdressing, facials, body wraps, pedicures, and massage. The staff were all excellent. They were eager to please and friendly. The only place this fall short is if you're looking for a true Day Spa experience. We were given robes but they were practically see through and not warm at all. The slippers provided are hard plastic. The transition between services felt like we were going from appointment to appointment rather than being in a spa with the luxurious and pampering feel. I also would not recommend eating here. We ordered when we first got there because they cater the food. When we ask what the special was we were told there was none. Out of the 3 remaining items I ordered a soup and sandwich and when I sat down to eat received fruit and cheese being told they were out of everything. Being starving was not the most lovely feeling for the last 2 hours. I would highly recommend going back here as long as you know where the shortfalls are. One last quick comment, this is an old house and it is drafty so wear warm socks.
Amazing! Great attention to detail, and took his time. He certainly has a new client and I will be recommending to others.
Great service. Had pedicure and my esthetician was fantastic. The salon is very clean as is the tools which is super important more then ever.
The staff are always friendly and professional, the facility is clean and well kept they offer a fantastic range of services! The smoothie bar is awesome with a great selection of healthy options! They're RMT is fantastic!
Holly is a great RMT....atmosphere is wonderful. ..what a great start to the weekend
Wedding hair and makeup were beyond my expectations. Professional, friendly, detailed and experts in their field. My Updo was absolutely perfect and held up in the wind. My makeup was absolutely stunning and long lasting. Right colours and tones for my complexion. Strangers were commenting on how beautiful I looked. Thank you for making my day special!
I highly recommend this spa. I had a fantastic experience; the knowledge and experience that Gina, the esthetician has is impressive.
My friend and I had massages here a couple weeks ago. It was quite dirty throughout (the bathroom especially), and we could hear the estheticans gossiping excitedly as we waited for our massages which didn't make for a relaxing vibe. Massage was just okay, pressure was too gentle and I didn't want to ask for anything firmer as the esthetican complained of her hands hurting. Our juices took almost 10 minutes to be ready. I feel a bit bad complaining because I can't imagine how difficult it must be getting through this pandemic but I definitely won't be back again. I felt a bit embarrassed bringing my friend here too as we could have had a higher quality experience for the money.
I got an amazing haircut from their stylist named Cody. He made sure that he did a great job, taking his time and being super attentive. Would definitely recommend him and also will be coming back their again if im in the area. Thanks Cody! Cheers
I have come to this spa for their waxing services multiple times and I am always pleased! They are great at what they do, and professional and friendly. I'll be back again in the future for sure!
I decided to get a hair cut and dropped by here because it was near my place. I had a few pictures of the hair style I wanted. And Cassandra, she did an amazing job on creating the look in the picture. I was a little worried because it was my first time cutting my hair this short but now I know it was not necessary at all, thanks to Cassandra. She was very friendly and did such a meticulous job on giving me the look that I really wanted. Thanks Cassandra!
Incredible service. Exceeded all of my expectations. Many thanks.
I have never had such a terrible chin/face wax in my life. The wax was too hot and I told her several times. I have had my chin waxed for 22 years and have never broken out like this. My face is still sore and it has been over 24 hours. I touched my face once I got in the car and my finger stuck to my face. She did not apply any soothing lotion afterwards or use a headband to protect my hair. Please do not go to this establishment for waxing.
A super relaxing pamper session! Thanks so much :)
Waste of time, I had made arrangements with the Manager to get a custom quote created for services that would have regularly costed over ten thousand dollars. They told me for anything above the standard 20% off package they would need a personalized consult. I booked a consult during regular work hours believing they would act in good faith and were willing to compete with other spas, however upon arriving not only did I find out they had no intentions of ever going above the 20% off but they made me feel uncomfortable by questioning why I wanted services and by attempting to sell me.
Service here was great! Such friendly staff and also such great amenities! Had an appointment with Cassandra and she cut my hair exactly how I want it. Such friendly service and quick too. The price was sooooo reasonable as well. Would definitely go again for haircuts.
I had the worst waxing experience of my life at Serenity Spa. They used strip wax, which I didn't think anyone did anymore, so it was very painful, ripped my skin twice, and was red and very sore for a few hours afterward as well. The wax mostly ripped the hairs rather than waxing them, so the regrowth was patchy with lots of ingrowns (which I usually never get). Could not have been more disappointed.
I had a wonderful experience being massaged by Jadence today! She was very friendly and personable, and I left feeling extraordinary. Thank you Jadence and the Symphony team, I will be seeing you again soon :)
I was very disappointed with my experience today at Serenity Spa. I had booked an appointment weeks in advance for myself and my Mom as a birthday gift for both of us. My Mom was getting a short eye treatment, and I had booked micro-pigmentation on my eyebrows, which I had been waiting to get for weeks. Most of the purpose of the trip for me, and the most time consuming part, was the micro-pigmentation. When we arrived, we were told that the person who does the micro-pigmentation was off sick and therefore I could not have the procedure done. This was of course disappointing because of the anticipation leading up to this trip, but also because we felt no reason to go through with the other things we had booked since I would have been basically sitting there waiting for my Mom the whole time, and it wouldn't have been as fun for either. I understand that the person was off sick, and I don't hold that against anyone, but they actually told me at the salon that she got sick last night, therefore indicating that they new all morning that she wasn't coming in, and never bothered calling to tell me. The person we spoke to when we got there seemed very unapologetic, and offered no compensation whatsoever, even when we told her it was our birthday and we drove an hour to get there. And not only did we drive an hour to get there, but going to the salon was supposed to be the highlight of our trip and it was the opposite. The total bill would have been around $500.00 at least, but that did not seem important to them. We walked out the door with absolutely no attempt from them to retain us as customers. I had friends who were waiting on my recommendation to go to here to get the same procedure done, and they were waiting on my experience to determine if this is the right place to go. I will not be recommending Serenity Spa, in fact it will be quite the opposite. I have no interest in rescheduling with them due to their lack of customer service.
Serenity Spa is fantastic! Being 6 months pregnant with twins it was one of the best pedicures I've ever had! I highly recommend checking this place out! The staff is well educated in the dos/donts of pregnant clients and it was definitely a sigh of relief to know that! Go check them out!!!!
Best massage and pedicure done hey Natasha and also Danielle and Victor provided the best care and service
Thank you, Darian. I enjoyed my time at the spa. Staff were wonderful. Great experiences. Happy Holidays
Arza gives the best facials...... hands down the best esthetician...... very professional I highly recommend her.
Jess is amazing, I will definitely be back to see her again and again. Thank you!
I am a returning customer and highly recommend going to see Stefanie Cross at Serenity Spa as she is outstanding. I have had numerous appointments with Stefanie to do various colouring and cuts, and she is very professional and always stuns me with her amazing work. I highly recommend going to see Stefanie if you are looking for an amazing cut and/or colour. My hair always feels so much healthier and looks fantastic when I leave.
FABULOUS EXPERIENCE!! Friendly, attentive staff. Wonderful revitalization of the space so far - crisp, clean, modern. Phillip and Melanie are doing a lovely job in polishing this jewel together as a fantastic team--truly an asset to Kingston's business community. HIGHLY recommend a wax with Arza; hers is an expert technique I travel from Toronto for; such a phenomenal woman, lovely personality, I've always felt completely comfortable and confident in her care. This place is always a treat!
Got my haircut recently, I wanted a new look to improve my image and have always hated my haircuts. Kayla did a fantastic job achieving the look I wanted, I have never received so many compliments on my hair in my life. 100% recommend.
My husband got me the spa package "day in paradise" for my birthday! I was really nervous, because it was my first ever spa day, and I was not let down. The ladies who took care of me were amazing. I had Ursula (sorry if the spelling is wrong) for my pedicure, and facial, and she gave me some really helpful tips on both sections. She really took care of me, and I absolutely loved spending my time with her. Ursula was really kind, and I loved having her take care of me. I had lunch at the spa as well, and the person who made it (i didnt catch her name) was so friendly, and really sweet. She made me a delicious and beautiful chia bowl. Lastly, I had another lady for my massage (i also didnt catch her name) but she talked me through some important parts of my body that needed extra attention. Overall, my birthday was made extra special because of the ladies at Symphony Spa. Thank you so much Symphony Spa!
I always enjoy my visits at Serenity Spa. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is serene and calming. I highly recommend this place:)
Shawnee and Amanda went above and beyond to make me look and feel beautiful on my wedding day. Without a trial they exceeded my expectations. I loved my makeup and hair. Thanks you so much!
Amazing place. Very professional and clean. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nice place to relax!
