Located at 111e Queen Street East in Toronto, Sweetgrass Spa is a hidden oasis at an underground space which from the outside can seem like a typical  mani-pedi spa, but once you enter this hidden gem, you are happily surprised that you have not only entered a spa, but a true sanctuary.

This luxurious spa is truly one of a kind. I have had my fair share of spas in Toronto and have tried some of the best, but to say I was blown away by this place is an understatement. Greeted by the sweetest staff members, it’s a bonus that you immediately feel comfortable entering the luxe space.

I had the opportunity to enjoy a complimentary mani at Sweetgrass but once I was there, I took my sweet time because I actually didn’t want to leave. Before my manicure, I was given a tour of the spa oasis. Though the spa is part of a member’s only club, it is still available to the public where you can come in for a treatment on your lunch hour or even stay for a few hours and enjoy peace and quiet at their lounge with free wifi and computer for you to use. You can even have your lunch here at the delicious GEORGE restaurant which is attached to the same complex as the spa. You can basically plan an amazing day for yourself with complimentary coffee and water and put up your feet with your computer or iPad and just disappear from the outside world.

After my tour of the grounds, I was ready for my manicure. I have a usual mani-pedi place I go to in Toronto, so I have to admit that I was hesitant leaving my nails in the hands of someone else, but I was happily surprised that it was one of the best I had ever received! The salon itself is just beyond a glass window looking out to the pool so the quiet and secluded space was truly relaxing. I don’t plan on getting married anytime soon, but this would definitely be the place to get your bridal party together for a fabulous girls pampering before the big day. Who am I kidding though, I don’t need to have a ring on it to find a reason to come here, can you say Verity Vino-Cure?

Apart from the spa, Sweetgrass by Verity also carries their own makeup and cosmetics line. During my visit to the spa, I was lucky enough to see the makeup line first hand and even get to sample a few lipsticks and gloss. Of course, I was drooling over the lipsticks since it is my go-to beauty products and luckily, the products are all allergy tested and hypoallergenic, so for those who have sensitive skin, this would be the line for you. I was impressed with the colours they carried and I felt they all fit perfectly on trend for the Summer. I can’t wait to see what the Spa has for the Fall season. I could really use another dark lipstick for Fall!

Whether you are coming to Sweetgrass for a quick manicure, a relaxing massage or even some divalicious eyelash extensions (they are amazing here), you are able to escape for as long as your heart desires to a place that you can call your second home.

Thanks again to the team at Sweetgrass Spa for making me feel at home and treating me to an afternoon of pampering!
