Glama Gal Yelp Review

Wanted to share with you some amazing reviews we have received on Glama Gal from Yelp.
However yelp filters reviews, so here is their link to see them:

I first heard about Glama Gals through a co-worker who had her daughter's 12th Birthday at the Spa.  She raved about the experience and encouraged me to take my daughter...and so I did.  My daughter absolutely LOVED this place.  The attention to detail, the experienced staff, and the welcoming atmosphere were noticeable right when I walked through those doors.  I was immediately greeted by Amanda who took care of my daughter, got her into a robe, and walked her around the spa.

The facility is beautiful and was set up appropriately for young girls.  Rather than having bulky, leather chairs that you would find at adult nail salons, the girls sit in high heel chairs to enjoy their pedicures (such a good idea that fit with the tween theme).  When my daughter received her manicure, she was taken to the "nail bar", another tween-friendly idea that my daughter really enjoyed.

My daughter enjoyed a manicure, pedicure, and facial, all of which were carefully performed on my daughter by Lisa, one of the estheticians.  I particularly enjoyed that Amanda was skilled and was extremely pleasant with my daughter and other children who were at the spa that day.  This just goes to show that experience with making children feel comfortable and welcomed was just as important to the owner's.   My daughter's manicure and pedicure lasted for over an hour, proving that Amanda took the time to clean, cut, polish and make her nails look beautiful.

As a result of my positive experience, my daughter decided to have her birthday there and again, the Glama Gals did not disappoint.  The entire staff went above and beyond, as they did during my daughter's first visit, to ensure that all of the girls received a memorable experience.  In addition to the wonderful treatments that all of the girls received, the Glama Gals place a good deal of emphasis on promoting positive attitude and beauty from within, which really set the tone for the girls before the party began.  The mother's, whose daughter's attended the birthday, also raved about their daughter's experience and even commented on the skilled staff whose experience with children and esthetics/spa therapy was noticeable.

Thank you, Glama Gals! I rarely leave reviews as long as this but when a place is THIS good, I dont mind taking the time to make that known.

I just took my 3 neices to Glama Gal - their Vaughan location - The girls (and I) had a total blast!

I had called in advance to book and the girl on the phone was a doll! She answered all of my questions and gave me a whole bunch of options to choose from. In the end I went with Spa Diva package.

We arrived for our appointment and I was floored. The place looks fantastic!! Bright pink walls, huge couch chairs it was amazing! The girls loooved it!

The girls just loved thier mani and pedi - especially becuase they got to choose their own fizzies for thier water and a colour for their pedi and mani - and all the colours were OPI! Their eyes just about jumped out of thier heads when they got ice cream while they were getting thier pedicure - these Ladies know what they are doing!

The girls then had thier facials - which they also loved - they also got to make their own nail polish which they thought was so cool!

At the end of the appointment - we were presented with photos that were taken while they were in the facials - absolutely fantastic!

All in all the kids had the most fantastic time and I have Glama Gals to thank! These Ladies are professional but most of all know how to deal with little girls and make them feel beautiful.

I would recommend this place to any mother, aunt, grandmother who wants a girly time with thier special girls! I think I won Aunt of the year and we have decided to make this an annual tradition!

I just returned from an afternoon visit to Glama Gal, tween spa- I took my two nieces to get a manicure and pedicure. The staff was so helpful and knowledgeable. They interacted with both my nieces (one niece 7 years old, the other 11 years old). In the short time that my nieces were there, they developed a rapport with the staff. They were treaded to a personal welcome from the staff, were given bathrobes and were made to feel special. They got to choose their own nail polish and scented soap scrub from a wide selection on hand. In addition to the spa treatments, the girls took part in a spa-related craft.-they got to make their very own ice-cream flavoured lip-gloss and foot scrub in a theme-based room set up like a ice-cream shop, which the girls thought was very cool. The spa was very clean and the facilities were up-to-date with everything you can imagine (and more) in a tween spa. What sets this tween spa apart from the others that I have heard of is the personal touch and genuine care that the staff provided. My nieces were a little shy at first, but shortly after they felt at ease and were reluctant to leave. On the car ride home, they asked: "when can we go back?" I will definitely return in the near future. Thanks again to the great staff at "Glama Gal" who made the first spa experience of two little girls a memorable one!

I just have to say we love Glama Gal ! We Love Glama Gal! Glama Gal all the way!! Best Party Place and Spa for kids! Can't wait for my daughters spa party. Ultimate Spa Party Place.  Thank you Vaughan for having this for little girls to have little girls spa parties
I have 1 daughter and 2 boys. I am always in and out of hockey arena's with the boys. I never get a chance to pamper my 12 year old daughter and give her the attention she deserves. A friend of mine recommended I take her to The Glama Gal Tween Spa. It was the greatest recommendation I have ever received. I purchase the VIP Star Treatment Package. She had her own personal Spa Attendant. She was not only great in her esthetic work she was great in dealing with a tween .

From the Pinkatini they served when she walked in to the ice cream during her pedicure to the Cucumbers on the eyes during the Chocolate facial. My daughter was in heaven. I really liked how the staff wasn't pushy on selling retail or any products. She was just concerned about my Abby having a great time.  I also was impressed how at the end of the services the staff in care told her that being a diva is fun once in a while. The staff enforced the idea of beauty being from within and that it is what is on the inside that counts most. I really teared up seeing my daughter in her glory.

We left so happy that we booked my daughters party for August 2012 ( I know I'm a little to ahead of the game, but with 2 boys and a crazy schedule, I had too) and I am planning a  GLAM hockey fundraiser night for the moms on my team!

Thanks Josie and Vanessa for an amazing day!( I hope they read this) But if not I hope all moms out there do!

During the winter break my daughter and I visited the Glama Gal Spa for tweens and teens!   My daughter is 12 years old and I thought this would be the perfect bonding time together.  We chose to do a "mom and me package'!  When we got to the spa we were greeted by a friendly staff and we were given spa slippers and robes.  As we were walking in the spa both me and my daughter were shocked on how nicely decorated and child friendly this spa is.  After a few minutes we were taken into an ice cream room where we got to chose ice cream flavoured soap's and the selection of flavours was amazing! We both picked our nail polish colours and probably spent a good 8-10 minutes trying to decide what colour to do because the selection of colours was just great and they had all the newest O.P.I collections.   We then sat on high heel shoes which were adorable!  We started off with our pedicures and during them we were served real ice cream for the two of us to enjoy.  After pedicures we sat @ a manicure bar where we did our manicures (which were also ice cream flavoured!!!). Before we left we took home a photo keep sake which was just a great way to remember this mother daughter experience at the spa!  As we were leaving the spa and were finished our services my daughter told me that she wanted to have her birthday party here and right there we booked it and my daughter was just thrilled!

This day at the spa was made so memorable by the wonderful professional staff working at Glama gals, the great services we enjoyed and the cleanliness of the spa.  This spa is a must see and I can guarantee your day at this spa will be great and memorable as mine was with my daughter!    

Thanks to Glama Gals and all the staff for making this such a great experience for me and my daughter!

My 12 yr old daughter and I attended the Ajax location for the Mom & Me package.  We have done a 'grown up' spa day in the past and this was much more appropriate for my tween.  It was half the price and she had twice as much fun! The snacks were fantastic and the service was great. She was treated as a tween should be and enjoyed it very much.

I recently took my daughter to Glama Gals for her first time, on her birthday. When I called to set up a spa date the lady on the phone was very polite and precise about all of the packages and I was very pleased with their service over the phone, so my daughter and I could not wait till we went to the spa. When I arrived at Glama gals I was amazed at how the place looked, and infatuated with their decor and the amazing paint job. Then a lady greeted me and handed me a spa robe, and told me to sit in these very nice high heel chairs where we got are nails done, the chairs were very comfortable. Then we did many other things that any other spa would do. In the end we got an amazing, good quality photo of me and my daughter to take home for memories. Overall I absolutely loved this place, me and my daughter were so relaxed and felt amazing when we were done, I have told everybody I know about this place because I truly think it was that amazing, I would not rate this place a 5, I would rate this place a 10/10!

Thank You Glama Gals  so much!

Happy Thanksgiving from our Family to Yours

We would like to wish our Glama Gals and their families a very happy thanksgiving. We are forever grateful to have your support over the years.

Glama Gals has been very busy lately. We have two new Glama Gal locations that are opening within the next 2 months. One in Toronto and one in Oakville. We are so excited to sprinkle pink to your area.

We have our upcoming FREE Demo Night October 22, 2012 where tweens will learn to make some homemade facials as well as learn some basic skincare tips and practices. This is a free event and if parents or tweens would like to make a donation we will be donating funds to The Sick Children's foundation. This is our way of giving back. We feel it is important to teach tweens this aspect of life.

We also are presenting an anti-bullying and self-esteem program for girls to the York Region Catholic School Board in the next few weeks. We feel that being a tween spa it is important to teach tweens,  how to take care of their inner beauty as well as their outer beauty. This is how our spa concept for tweens comes full circle.

Lots of exciting things are happening for Glama Gals. We are excited to be your premiere spa and party place for your tween girls in Vaughan and Ajax.

Have a great weekend!!

Way to GO Glama Gals!!

Glama Gal Vaughan had an amazing inspection from York Region Health today!! As usual the inspector said we are one the cleanest spa's in Vaughan. Parents it's important to always be mindful of where and how your children are spa'hing and how the items being used on them are being disinfected. 

At Glama Gals that is always our top priority , most of our items are disposable to avoid any contamination. Don't be afraid to ask wherever you go how items are being sanitized and disinfected. It's your right!

Also be mindful of mobile spa's who aren't registered with a local health department. Even though their services may be cheaper, they may also be more dangerous. Here are some ways Glama Gal Tween Spa makes the right health choices for your tweens:

1) All nail files disposable
2) All brushes used disposable or take home for clients
3) All make up applicators disposable thrown out after each use
4) Spa Slippers: Disinfected after each use ( we have over 1,000 pairs and therefore disinfection is a long process)
5) Robes: Washed after each use ( We have over 350 robes)
6) All surfaces cleanedwith hospital grade disinfectant
7) We use stainless steel bowls for pedicures ( not jetted tubs) jetted tubs are a breeding ground for germs.. those jets dont get cleaned the germs just keep going in and out. It may be more luxurious but not SAFE! Stainless steel bowls are cleaned and sprayed with hospital grade disinfectant.

These are just some of the many ways Glama Gals keeps your tweens healthy and safe!!

As mom's ourselves we are big germaphobes, so we treat your kids like our own!!!

Have a Glamalicious Day!!!
