Juillet Spa & Wedding

I was looking for Korean makeup artist than I am so lucky I found her in BC. Veronica, Wedding Specialist, is super amazing! I asked her Korean natural makeup. she did exactly what i was looking for: D I will visit again for sure!!!

Maria (the manger) contacted me and offered a complimentary facial. I would have to say Maria was nice and professional. I appreciated the spa takes the review seriously.
I went in yesterday to receive the complimentary facial. This time was so much better. Elly did a good job and I like how she explained to me step by step thru the treatment. The only thing is I wish i got more extraction done cause the black and white head are out of control. But it seems like it is not a standard practice.

I would like to update my previous negative review of Juillet Spa to say that I was contacted by Maria, the manager of this spa, with apologies for my disappointment in their service and offering a free replacement. Maria was friendly, polite and very business-​like in her offer and I wish to say I very much appreciate the excellent customer-​service care she showed in her concern for client satisfaction.
Due to a recent injury I was not able to take advantage of her kind offer of a replacement service, but Maria generously allowed my daughter to have the treatment in my place, which I thought was extremely generous and fair. My daughter reported a much more favourable experience than I had for the same treatment of massage and facial, and rated it highly.
Perhaps my experience, then, was an unusual one. Thank you, Maria, for taking the time and effort for good customer service at Juillet Spa & Wedding. It is very much appreciated and something that is often overlooked by managers/​owners.
Best wishes for future success in your business.

I was coming to Vancouver with my husband on our much belated honeymoon. I knew we wanted to have a massage before going out for a meal but I also knew that we didn’t want to pay more for the massage than for the flights.
I scoured Groupon, living social and other such sites looking for a good deal. I read lots of reviews and ended up settling on the location.
I was a little apprehensive when we pulled up as it doesn’t really look like very much from the street. We were greeted warmly and escorted to an area where we were offered tea, coffee or water. We waited here relaxing and watching TV until our massage time.
We had purchased 2 groupons and then booked a couples massage so that we would be in the same room. Joanne was my technician and I have to say that she was excellent. My husband actually said that his massage was the best he had every had.
I had the aromatherapy massage with rosewood oil and then a facial. Super relaxing especially after zip lining down a mountain in the morning.
We thought after this we should get a manicure. My husband just really get a his cuticles done and nails cut and I had a color.
The only reason that I give 4 stars rather than 5 is because of the price of the manicure. Its partly my fault as I should have asked the price but I feel like 2 people getting manicure shouldn’t come to $ 96
Anyway the result was that apart from the bill it was an excellent experience and if we are back in town (and there was a discount) then I would be back. I say if there was a discount because we paid $ 100 each for an experience that is usually $ 235.

I cannot say enough about Veronica on the wedding side. (I know it’s unusual to see a bridal service coupled with spa services, but if you really think about it, the two go hand-​in-​hand). If you’re looking for someone who will put her heart and soul into making you look like the blushing bride you envisioned yourself to be, then look no further.
I’d been on the [frantic] search for someone to do Korean-​style bridal look (read: natural, glowing, flawless) after a disastrous make-​up & hair trial with a recognized (read: pricey) stylist in the industry. My incredibly thick, heavy locks did not last longer than a half hour in the up-​do, and my make-​up looked and felt caked on at best with this other stylist. After doing some internet sleuthing, I realized that I wanted a more light and natural look that the K-​bridal industry does so well. But my search for a stylist to pull that off only led to ethnically Korean stylists who did the same «Western» style of bridal make-​up that both looked and felt heavy. So when I was referred to this little gem and the magical Veronica by my mom’s friend whose daughter had recently been married, it felt like an answer to prayer.
I can only attribute it to her skill, experience and possibly fairy dust, but my updo remained in place the ENTIRE day and my makeup felt light & airy, and did not require a touch-​up (outside of the lips after eating)! Though on W-​day my make-​up turned out more dramatic than I initially hoped it would be, after receiving my wedding photos, I realize Veronica was keeping the big picture in mind and knew what she was doing. Her artistry really does shine through in her work, but it’s her thoughtfulness that takes the [wedding] cake! It’s an overlooked and seemingly unnecessary element but that added touch of sincere care and je né sais quoi is what made all the difference in service for me.

I’ve only been here for laser hair removal before but because I’m pregnant I had to stop that service. So today I was super excited about my oxygen facial!
I was greeted by a very polite hostess and then met my facial lady, Joanne. Who is a super sweet heart and an excellent facial lady! I highly recommend using her!
The room was plain but the bed was a heated water bed!!! It was so comfortable that I wanted to fall asleep right away!
With this facial I get a cleanse and then a deep cleanse. Then I get a wonderful facial massage (which supposedly is only offered by Joanne!) and she told me this is a very popular method to help tone and lift ur skin! She was very knowledgeable and knew what I lacked and needed and adjusted accordingly. Because I was pregnant the facial message had to be toned down a bit or normally it would be stronger. I’m glad they were so careful with me.
The facial message was delightful! It felt so good!
I believe a mask was applied on my skin and I was left in the room with it for a bit. The mask then was removed with a cool towel which felt amazing.
Afterward they sprayed this oxygen in my face. It felt like a good 10 mins. And everything that was used on me smelled so good!
Finally Joanne put on a combo of something for my sensitive skin and dehydrated skin.
All in all everything felt so good, Joanne’s skills is top notch!
And my skin felt sooooo nice and smooth afterward it was crazy!!!
All in all this place is not like the spa places at hotels and such but it’s definitely clean, with a lot of space and also a large TV screen at the lounge for u to watch tv and relax.
This place is also owned and run by Koreans. And we all know how one step ahead Koreans are in the beauty industry so I felt like I was in very good hands… literally!
I would recommend this for sure if you are looking for a good quality and relaxing facial!

Had a 60 min massage and 30 Eminence facial with eye and lip treatment with gf for our birthdays, which we purchased on Groupon. My 3 stars is for the fact that I enjoyed my back massage. The rest was horrible. As I laid on my back with the light glaring at me my masseur is attempting unsuccessfully to massage my shoulders and scalp. I figure she’s tired from massaging my back. Once my session is complete and I head to the change room and I notice that my mascara is flaking around my eye. Did I not just receive an eye treatment with my facial? I did not reapply any makeup thereafter. When I toned my face at the end of the night I noticed there was makeup on my cotton ball from this morning prior to the facial. Meaning, they didn’t remove all the dirt from my face before I had the facial.

Great oxygen facial! Highly recommend. The service was excellent and I was impressed with the quality of the products used. I am taking off 1 star because I did feel a bit rushed. I could tell that I was the last client of the day and people were anxious to close.

We came here during a stagette/​shower and it was very fun! They take group bookings, and we were able to bring in some snacks and light beverages to enjoy while we were there. They also have a movie screen in the central area and we got to choose a movie, which was part of the reason I came across this spa online. You can see it from the manicure or pedicure stations, or the sofas while waiting. Not sure if that is always possible (depending how busy they are I imagine) but it made for a really nice event. I definitely recommend the pedicure, and loved the nice massaging chairs. The staff were very friendly and polite as well. I’d like to come back again.

Great spa! Loved it

UPDATE: I finally returned to give them another try. I called the manager, Maria, to make my appointment.
They accommodated me rather quickly, and I got a pedi, plus mani with paraffin. The owner, AND manager both came to talk to me during my appointment, and the manager also saw me out. She mentioned if in the next few days my nails do get damaged, to give them a call to touch up. That was a really nice touch.
The aesthetician did a good job on my nails, and did a wonderful massage. There are quite a few bubbles in the finger polish, though :/​
My only complaint is lack of parking nearby for such a long appointment. They did offer to move my car or plug my meter. Though I parked in a free zone (2hr limit), and drive standard. Nobody could drive stick on staff. So, I’m sitting in my car hoping my nails are drying as I type this.
I advise if you do get a pedi, to bring your own flip flips. I snagged the last pair of disposable ones.
I’n giving 4 stars as an average, because of the mistake before.
I still strongly recommend Mina for laser. She’s the best!

Just came back from summer holidays but before summer started I did mani-​pedi at Juillet Spa. I only had one mani-​pedi before and it was French so I did not know which colour to choose for summer holidays But ladies at Juillet were very helpful. I had OPI pink for my fingers and OPI gold for my toes and I loved it whole summer.
The way the applied it was so good that it lasted forever. The mani lasted for 3 weeks before it started breaking off a bit and My toe mails are still golden!!!
after 2 months!
Those ladies do take their time and do their job perfectly to make sure that the application is properly done.
Another thing I really like about Juillet is their clientèle. Any time I go there, I find ladies sitting around me very pleasant to talk to and nice and friendly. I don’t know what it is that Juillet gets great clients but I am guessing the way this spa carries itself have some effect on it.

Came here with a Groupon and booked a second spa package as I left. Service is friendly (without being fussy) and the layout is well planned. You get a locker with key to store clothes and purse, get a fluffy white robe (multiple sizes for those that are not size 0), and while you wait for your appointment, they offer drinks in the movie/​pedicure lounge room. Massage beds are heated water beds, music is calming (not cheesy) and the products used are top notch: lemon scrub, strawberry-​rhubarb cleansing mask, pumpkin anti-​aging mask… I smelled like a delicate and happy fruit salad when I left! Monthly deals, groupons, Unilocal coupons. Great service and even better value.

This is the best spa we’ve been to. Unforgettable experience, very professional and polite people, amazing vibe, massage and facial were super. Thank you!

Read the reviews and booked a couples’ massage for my boyfriend and I as a treat.
Though the staff were efficient and friendly and everything was clean and well staged with the usual ‘must have’ spa features there was simply no atmosphere. I feel they are attempting to be high end but sadly falling short.
We felt shuffled around not dissimilar to a doctor’s office. And the slippers were uncomfortable (sorry, seem to be moaning now).
Our masseuses were timid and it all felt rather clinical — which, I understand there has to be a level of professionalism, but there was zero relationship between them and actually it really dampened the mood.
There were no candles or conversation in the treatment room and I had to ask for some music to be put as the distraction from the fan and some kind of sterilizing machine buzzing away intermittently, did not do anything to create a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
Very disappointed, especially as everything is such an easy fix. Though there may be hope — the girls on the desk were very receptive to our comments and said they appreciated feedback, so hopefully they’ve acted.
If you’re in a rush and don’t expect ambiance then it ‘s perfect for you.

I was greeted by 3 girls when I arrived. I thought I was running late so I was running out of breath. I asked for a glass of water but it didn’t happen. Then one of them brought me over to the lockers in the hallway?!. They gave me the one with a broken lock. I kept having trouble opening it. They did it for me but they didn’t offer a change. I filled out the paperwork in the nail/​lounge area. I was then brought into the massage room. Yes it was a waterbed but I found it too hot. I asked her to turn it off but it was still warm throughout the whole treatment. I was sweating at one point. I only found it comfortable when I was on my tummy. It was too soft for me when I was on my back. I asked for a pillow which helped. The massage was okay but there was too much talking going on. I was just trying to relax. The groupon says 60-​minute massage with reflexology. No reflexology and it was only a back massage. Not sure if it was 60min.
30-​minute Eminence facial — that was even worse. No steam and no exfoliation. I was expecting for that too. She asked me if I wanted eyebrow shaping. $ 25 was a bit too steep. Most places charge $ 10-​$ 15 but I needed one anyways. She «advised» me to get their products since I can get 10% on my first visit. I found it a bit pushy and annoying. I told her I wanted to try the sunscreen for the texture and coz I also have sensitive skin. She said I would not have any trouble with it but I didn’t want to risk it. (coz my skin reacts to some of the Eminence organic products too). I could tell she wasn’t too happy w that. She kept asking how often and where exactly do I usually get massages and facials. Just too aggressive for me. Maybe it was just that girl.

Do yourself a favour … go to social shopper and hope that you can still get their discount. Treated myself to a little spa day — and was so impressed with this spa.
For $ 88 I got: a 100-​Minute Rejuvenate Your Body Package Including Massage, Organic Eminence Facial, Reflexology, Collagen Anti-​Aging Eye Treatment and Much More (Value $ 290)
In hindsight, now that i think of it — i don’t think i got the collagen eye treatment or reflexology… hm, I should ask about that
But onto the real reason why you read this:
–great location on the corner of Arbutus and Broadway. Apparently there’s parking??? I couldn’t find it — but on Wet 12^th theres a whole street of free parking.
–Huge spa — when I went in there was a wedding shower party going on and there were about 5 massage chairs/​pedicure chairs on the go.
–the service was very respectful, poliet and there «to serve you!».
–Everything is very clean, very classy and «spa-​like».
The massage — was um, average? it was a Non-​RMT massage — so best to go in with that expectation. They have a hot waterbed that you lay on. I thought it was amazing as I first laid down but then found it a little uncomfortable during the massage. [I was informed that the waterbed were ordered directly from Korea]
It was a heated bed too — so part way through I felt like I was burning up a bit.
The facial — WOW, WOW, WOW. They definitely regained points here. It was with eminence skin care product — it felt amazing, smelt amazing and made my face glow. (They even did a couple extractions — and to my surprise, they were so gentle it didnt event hurt).
NOTE: if you download the Unilocal app — they have a $ 20 off coupon for first time visitors. You have to «check in» in order for it to show up on your screen. A nice little bonus to an excellent spa if you ask me!

I also only go for laser treatment with Mina — she is a wonderful person, really cares and wants to make your treatments as effective as possible, the times I’ve been a bit late for my appointment she’s been gracious and accommodating. The prices seem good and the laser is very effective, I have had treatment once elsewhere and while it was also a Lightsheer diode laser, the results were less effective probably due to the settings used by the operator. Mina knows her stuff!
The counter staff are very nice, and the times I’ve had to call and reschedule they’ve been helpful. Free underground parking is available but I always manage to find a meter spot across the road which is quicker for me… I schedule my appointments during my lunch break so I have to be quick and this works for me.

I finally found my little getaway in the city!
I’ve read many great reviews on Unilocal about this place and decided to go with my boyfriend for couple’s massage.
As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with smiles and were led into a room/​locker area where we were provided with robes. The change room had blow dryers, curling irons, hot rollers etc. with good lighting and a big mirror.
Then we were brought into another room – like a waiting room for spa guests in their robes. They had a projection screen playing a tv show and dim lighting to make us feel comfortable. We each filled out a form that outlined any medical issues and the areas of our bodies where we wanted the therapists to focus on.
Once we were in the massage room, (and it was a nice clean room that felt serene) our therapists went to work. During our hour long session, they carefully focused on areas we had mentioned. We both went for deep tissue massage and at times the pressure was pretty hard but when we walked out, we both felt like a million bucks!
After the massage, we were brought back to the waiting area where we were provided with tea and were not rushed to leave.
The price was just under $ 200 for both of us for an hour long deep tissue massage. My boyfriend and I walked out smiling and feeling much lighter and decided we’d make this a monthly routine!
I definitely recommend this place, it was by far the best massage and one of the most pleasant experiences I’ve had at a spa.

Sometimes a gal just has to spoil herself. In my case it was a 3+ hour spa day that included a 60min deep tissue massage, 60min whitening facial (+1 for stereotypes), and an essential manicure; add some shits and giggles with one of my favorite gals and I wasn’t just spoiled, I was spoiled rotten.
We were given the couples room so we could chat throughout our massage & facial. It was very nice decorated, very clean, had a private shower and two super comfortable and relaxing water beds… I felt like I was in a cocoon!
My massage was very good — my esthetician checked the pressure a number of times, spending most of the time working my back and neck area as she’d noticed that I had a lot of tension in the area. But this was nothing compared to what came next… THE BEST FACIAL EVER!
I rarely get facials in Vancouver as I find western style facials a total a waste of money — most just slather a mask on you and leave you in the room for half the time. As Spa Evian is Korean owned, so they incorporate Asian facial massage techniques into their facials. Meaning your esthetician never leaves your side and actually massages the mask into your face while removing excess bloat and loosening tight muscles in the face — so you actually leave with a slimmer & more relaxed face!
Unfortunately, my manicure kept this review from a full 5-​stars. While my girl was sweet, her technique and the manicure itself was a bit shoddy. She had a hard time shaping my nails into a «squoval» shape, which she tried to fix but ended up filing them down to the quick… at which point I had to reshape them myself. Then while treating my cuticles she cut me twice. Ouch! I paid an extra $ 15 for shellac, and the application was really poor — visible gaps around the edges, running over the cuticle so it lifted the next day, and didn’t seal the tips which also helps prevent lifting and water seeping in.
Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend coming here for a facial, I am already debating what I can give up in my budget (shoes? clothes? lunch?) to allow for regular facials here.
