What to expect from The Spa at Loyalist:

Clients of The Spa receive reduced pricing for treatments, allowing students to practice their treatments and apply their customer service skills in a professional setting using high-end product lines. Education is always the focus of a spa appointment at Loyalist, and clients can expect to receive an in-depth consultation regarding at-home skin, body, and nail care regimes when they visit.

As the Spa is a learning institute, specialized treatments are offered as they fit the curriculum throughout the academic year. Faculty appreciate the support and understanding that clients show when booking and receiving treatments, as there may be times when students are still at the early stages of learning.

The Spa boasts a high-end retail boutique for clients’ prescriptive skin, nail, and body care needs. Reusable gift cards are available and have no expiry dates. All retail products and gift cards are gift-wrapped to support our students’ merchandising skills.
