One way to escape the dreariness of
winter as it drags on is to step through
the doors of Elements Salon & Spa in
Bracebridge.
You’ll be greeted by warm smiles and
friendly manners, and as you settle into
a comfortable chair, you’ll immediately
start to relax in the Zen-like décor. With
a wide range of beauty and spa services
to choose from and with the recommendations
of a highly attuned staff, an
appointment at Elements in January or
February will make you forget the snow
outside.
“When we opened early in 2009, I
wanted to create a very intimate experience
for our clients,” says owner and
stylist Monica Dureen. “We want people
– women, men and children – to
come and feel extremely pampered and
relaxed, even if they’re only getting a
haircut. With our varied services and
expertise, we have all the elements here
to make for a rewarding visit.”
To that end, Monica and her staff
offer everything from hairstyling to
facial treatments, manicures, pedicures,
waxing, massage, cosmetic application
and tanning. Wedding and spa packages
are available and each month features a
special offer.
The stylists and estheticians at
Elements Salon & Spa use the finest
professional products, such as Redken,
O.P.I., Nioxin, SpaRitual and Guinot.
>> Pamper yourself at Elements Salon & Spa
Monica Dureen, Amanda Placko, Nicole Brown and Marelle
Parkin invite you to pamper yourself at Elements Salon &
Spa in Bracebridge.
Monica and her staff constantly
update their knowledge by attending
professional seminars.
“We offer the best in salon and spa
treatments,” says Monica. “As an
example, our esthetician, Nicole
Brown, has extensive training in the
application of the Hydradermie
treatment from the Guinot Institute
in Paris. This involves ionization of
skin cells using mild electrotherapy to
get the effect of a non-surgical facelift.
The results are incredibly visible.
With one treatment you can
immediately see harsh lines and creases
eliminated. “It’s incredibly satisfying,”
she adds.
Also satisfying at Elements are the
reasonable prices. “We offer high-end
services, but our rates are extremely
competitive,” says Monica.
Word-of-mouth about the fantastic
customer service at Elements has caught
fire, bringing in new clients every day,
like Tina Caughey of Bracebridge.
“My mother told me about
Elements and how she was so thrilled
with the service,” she says, having foils
and colour done by stylist Amanda
Placko. “She highly recommended it
to me so here I am. The people are
wonderful – I’ll definitely be back.”
Returning customers is what Monica is
most proud of.
“We really try to build great
relationships with our clients,” she
says. “We get to know their personal
likes and dislikes, and knowing a bit
about them makes it easier to give
them exactly what they want. If I’m
doing your hair, for instance, and I
know you’re going travelling, then I
can recommend a lovely pedicure to
show off on the beach as well.”
We can’t all escape to a warm beach
this winter, but a visit to this full
service salon and spa in downtown
Bracebridge will make us feel like
we’re in another world.
