Brianna HarrisonAs we all know, our skin takes a good beating every day from pollution to daily stress. Like an armor of suit for our body, it won’t do its job without proper care.
With this in mind, getting the best facial in Toronto is a small yet effective step to get started. Consider these places we’ll mention in today’s review to get the care you deserve.
The Cost of Facials in Toronto
There are various types of facials you can get and this drives the cost. Other than that, the cost tends to go up with higher-end spas with luxe treatments.
The most affordable facial you can get usually ranges from $35 to $120. If you’re getting a facial in a mid-range spa, the cost easily starts at $100.
In luxurious spas, it’s not shocking to see facials starting at the $200 price range. But these types of spas may also offer basic facials that can be around $120.
The Best Facial Clinics and Spas in Toronto
In selecting our top picks, we looked into availability and value for money. In this case, we don’t mind adding higher-priced spas if the overall experience makes up for the costs.
We also assessed their level of customer satisfaction. We reached out to past clients, looked into shop reviews, and saw which places had the most positive experience testimonials.

Leaves skin clean and glowing
I can’t say enough about this place and the care and attention they lavish on me. Brilliant products and very knowledgeable staff. I’ve had IPL, facials and peels from most of the practitioners there and each has left me with clean and glowing skin. Colleagues are actually commenting on my complexion for the first time in my life. Recommended. – Stephen Lynch
A relaxing experience
Had a lovely hydrating facial with Diana. It was my first facial and Diana explained everything she was using, how I can maximize the benefits, and how to take care of my skin at home. Left with my skin looking amazing and had such a relaxing hour. Would absolutely recommend Pure+Simple and their facial with Diana! – Michelle Perelchtein

Province Apothecary is best known in Toronto for its line of skincare products. But beyond this, they also offer a couple of services from facials to acupuncture and even osteopathy.
Let’s focus on their facials first. They provide five different organic facials best for holistic treatments.

If you end up liking it, you can come back as a returning customer for your next facial. This time, you’ll only have to pay $120 for a 60-minute session.
What we liked about this set of treatments is that you actually get an option to speed things up. They offer an express edition of these custom facials that reduces session time for up to 30 minutes.
The express custom organic facials cost only $95 for first-time customers. An express facial for a returning client costs $85 for a 30-minute facial treatment.
As we said, they have a prominent skincare line that you can try out if you like. And since it’s under the same clinic, your service plus product matches so you don’t have to switch between ingredients.
In addition to all these, they also offer virtual skin consultations for $20 to $70. They’ll give you a thorough skin analysis, recommended products, and help you create a home care plan.

Customer Reviews
Best facial experience
I had a facial with Vanessa and it was the best facial I have ever had!
Vanessa was so knowledgeable and pleasant, and my face was absolutely glowing after. The room was also very cozy and relaxing. I have had many facials before but I never left feeling this great after, skin- and mind-wise. I’ve become a fan of Province Apothecary products since last year and have slowly been switching up my skin care routine to incorporate more of their products. They are just simple and very effective. The skincare industry is so saturated but with their products you realize that less is more…Now that I tried the facial I’m excited to try the custom serum. Vanessa also got me thinking about getting into dry brushing. And I will definitely be back for more facials. I couldn’t recommend this place more for one’s skincare needs! And book a facial with Vanessa, you won’t regret. – Olga Dadabayeva
Beautiful and relaxing space
Cassandra was super helpful and knowledgeable. This was my first ever facial and she really made me feel comfortable. The customized serum and tonnes of samples I walked away with, plus the personalized follow-up email, were the lovely cherry on top. It’s a beautiful, relaxing space and I can’t wait to book my next appointment! – Sarah Valant
3. Hammam Spa by Céla King West
| SERVICES | Steam rituals, signature treatments, RMT, specialty massage, spa packages, body treatments, skin therapy, waxing, nail rituals |
| WEBSITE | https://hammamspa.ca/ |
| ADDRESS | 602 King St W, Toronto, ON M5V 1M6 |
| CONTACT DETAILS | +1 416-366-4772 |
| OPERATING HOURS | Monday – Saturday: 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM Sunday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM |
If you want a more luxurious experience for your facials, Hamman Spa is a wonderful choice. Of course, now that there’s luxury in the picture, you’ll have to pay higher prices too.
Their most notable facial treatment is their signature custom facial. With this, your esthetician will assess your skin to custom-craft a treatment for you.
This signature facial includes masquing, exfoliation, and facial massage for the ultimate treatment. While you’re getting this facial, you get effleurage on your hands, shoulders, neck, and arms.
The signature facial costs $190 for a 60-minute session. But if you’re pressed for time, you can try their mini facial instead.
This option takes only 30 minutes to complete at $145. Expensive, but many past clients said that it left their skin feeling firmer and looking more radiant.
Another thing that we looked into is their gentlemen’s custom facial. It’s basically the same as the signature facial, but the techniques and products used are more suitable for men.
Apart from these facials, they also offer Oxygeneo Facial, Intensive Facial Peel, and various medical facials. If you don’t know which one to get, you can book a free 15-minute consultation to give you a personalized plan.
Speaking of this consultation, they use SkinCeuticals SkinScope technology for skin assessment. This is a high-tech full-face diagnostic tool that helps detect skin concerns.
Pros
- Can pair facials with other services under certain packages
- Best for a more luxurious and sensorial facial
- Offers facials suitable for men
- Free 15-minute consultation
- Uses SkinScope technology for skin assessment
Cons
- Can be difficult to contact at times
Customer Reviews
Reasonable prices for great services
Seriously the best spa on Toronto. The quality of service, and experience that I have here is on point EVERY time. Prices are very reasonable for the quality. I’ve had facials, mania & pedis here. I’d rather pay just a couple of dollars more and have my nails last. Phoebe is so lovely and I look forward to seeing her in the spa. Thanks guys! – Jordana Blumberger
Makes any experience a treat
My experience at Hammam Spa is always a treat! The front desk is friendly, professional and competent. I recently had a facial with Anna K. her expertise in skin care made my experience a absolutely terrific one. Thank you, Hammam Spa. I would recommend visiting the spa the next time you need to relax and be pampered. – Gem
4. Dermalogica Royal Bank Plaza
| SERVICES | Facials, face mapping skin analysis, skin treatments, skincare products |
| WEBSITE | https://www.dermalogica.ca/pages/flagship-store-royal-bank-plaza |
| ADDRESS | 200 Bay St. Suite K101, Toronto, ON M5J 2J5 |
| CONTACT DETAILS | +1 416-806-4939 |
| OPERATING HOURS | Monday – Friday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM |
Since 1986, Dermatoligca has been providing clients with custom skincare solutions. The best part is, the prices are all affordable and the treatments are super fast.
The highlight of all their services is the customer favorite Pro Power Peel 30. This treatment is ideal for dealing with acne breakouts, wrinkles, and uneven pigmentation.
Now, this facial is their strongest peel that uses a three-acid approach. If you want a more tamed-down version, you can choose either the ProSkin 30 or ProSkin 60.
ProSkin 30 takes 30 minutes and is best for toning with exploitation and deep serum treatment. ProSkin 60 is great for brightening, firming, and smoothing, which is done using enhanced treatments.
They offer other notable facials based on your needs, but they can be summed up in two ways. One, quick treatments, and two, high-quality services minus the luxurious experience.
Other than these, the other thing we liked is the digital experience they offer. You can book a virtual consultation with a skin expert to assess your skin.
One of these services includes face mapping skin analysis. This 10-minute session addresses your concerns while giving you treatment recommendations.
Pros
- Complimentary virtual skin consultation
- 35 years in business
- Best for quick facial treatments
- Among the cheapest facials in Toronto
- Offers face mapping skin analysis
Cons
- Located within a busy and rather loud commercial area
Customer Reviews
Great experience from start to finish
I had such a lovely visit with Maicy. I arrived a few minutes early and saw her sanitize everything very well. We had a consultation where I voiced my skin concerns and she did an analysis of my skin before starting a treatment. She checked in on me throughout the treatment and explained the process. We did a walk through of the products she used and she made a few recommendations to my routine before I left. I highly recommend this service. My skin has never looked better! – Katrina Gillett
Makes skin look supple, glowy, and healthy
Such a great experience! The treatment itself targeted my most frequent skin concern – dehydration – and I left with supple, glow-y, and healthy skin. Nyssa is a true professional in her field and made my overall experience informational, as well as fun and relaxing. I left with some recommendations and samples, and will definitely book with her/the RBP location again. – Arina Terentjeva
