Rain Spa & Salon

I go there everytime and get my eyebrows done by houri. She’s amazing at her job. Very friendly. Rain spa has great customer service. It’s about a 45 min drive away from my house but worth it.

This is the place I go to get a 60 minute massage. Nothing special but its still clean, friendly and my massage therapist is really great. Its a very small cute spa with a cozy feel which I like. I haven’t tried any other service but I’m excited to try a hydra facial now that they offer it!

They carry Dr. Payot skin care products. Went in there today as it is close to where I live and I was happy to find these products in Toronto. Disclaimer: I have not been there for their spa services. The place has a clean smell and look which I found appealing. May go in for their spa services when I have time …

Great services.
PAINLESS WAXING.
Friendly staff.
Clean establishment.
Brilliant! Yes, it may be in the middle of nowhere by downtown Toronto standards, but I wouldn’t travel all the way on a Friday rush hour from the financial district to this spa’s Bayview&Shepard location if I didn’t have full faith in their services. I spent one hour on the TTC getting here, spent only 15 minutes in the salon for the actual procedure, and then spent another hour on the TTC getting home, and it was still worth it!
My only gripe is how they take your credit card no over the phone, as collateral in case you don’t show up. That’s not acceptable, and warrants a deducted star!

I’ve been to Rain Spa a few times and it has always been a pleasant experience. I usually have a massage or body wrap treatment. I would recommend it as a decent alternative to other more expensive downtown spas as it is very affordable and just a short trek from downtown. Very relaxing atmosphere, quiet, and I would definitely return in the future.

Very nice place… Very mediocre massages.
My wife and I went in for 90 min massages. Very nice people, but both of us agreed that they weren’t very good. My wife in particular was really upset with hers. The lady put massage oil all over her face and hair. And didn’t massage her neck even though she repeatedly said that’s her major concern. My massage was okay. But felt the last 20 – 30 mins was just wasting time.
Will not return.

Went here for a mother/​daughter spa day. We both had a massage & then a pedicure. The massage was fine. Nothing super special. And the pedicure was ok as well. Even though the spa’s environment is supposed to help relax you it didn’t really do anything for me because the lady doing my massage & pedicure was in a bad mood. She barely spoke to me & was usually staring off into the distance when doing my treatment. What a contrast to the lady who my mom had. She was friendly, chatty & had a good sense of humour. Not impressed with the service here. For the prices they charge I expect better than mediocre service.

Basically I have been here two times, both for waxing, so that is all I am commenting on. Both times I have gone because my normal waxer has been MIA and this place is conveniently close. That said, I find it very expensive, especially for what you get. The first time I went I got the works done… legs, bikini, underarms, etc. The person doing the waxing was very pleasant and kept the conversation going, which I appreciated, but I was still red for DAYS, something I have rarely experienced before in years of waxing. That said, she got the job done.
Today, however, I had a different girl, who was also very pleasant, but it wasn’t until I got home, that I realized what a shoddy job she had done. Patches of hair are still there. I pretty much have to get this redone and I had to pay more to go to this place than any other place I’ve been to + tip!
Not only that, but the facility for waxing is pretty pitiful. It’s a VERY small room, with the «bed» pushed up against a wall. When I went in the summer it was very warm, so I’m not sure if there are A/​C or not. The other wall is entirely windows, which of course always have the blinds closed. It’s a weirdly appointed room for a waxing area. Perhaps it was originally a storage closet? With windows? I don’t know, but it’s not as though you’re going here and paying more because the atmosphere is so much nicer! Anyway, as I said, this place is used in a pinch and now, I’m not sure I’d bother using it for that either!

This is the much BETTER alternative to The Village Spa as they are only 10 minutes away apart by drive. I have had much better experiences here. This is a place I go to on my days off from work and if I don’t feel like making the trek downtown. The lounge area is quite small with only 6 chairs so I cannot imagine this area during peak times and days. I come here mostly for pedicures or pedicure touch ups… nothing fancy. I have tried a facial here but it was not memorable and have not been back since for that particular service.
Pedicure. This treatment is conducted in a bright airy room with about 4 chairs. Don’t expect anything elegant or fancy, but Rain Spa has the signature massage chairs, flat screen tv’s and magazines to keep one occupied during the service. My pedicurists are always efficient and get the job done well, and all have offered something to drink.
Ambiance. This is also a salon so although I never will get my hair done here, the times I have been here, it appears that many regular patrons get their hair cut here (mostly older retired ladies talking about their grandchildren.) This is a two-​level spa so the upstairs is where you go for your massages, facials, etc… As with the previous review, it is true, the lounge area upstairs is quite small (aka one bench) so it can be quite uncomfortable with males and females in robes so close to each other. This spa is clean with the woodsy-​light look. It’s not overly modern, but I find appropriate for this area.
FYI: The one time I had my facial done here, it was with a product the staff highly push you to buy which puts a slight damper on the whole relaxing experience. They also have, I find, tacky looking jewellery at the check-​out counter which I have never seen anyone buy, but should you require some studs or gems to go along with your spa experience…
All in all, a great addition to the Bayview and Shep area. Although I have not found my go to for facials (sigh), I would recommend Rain Spa for clean and efficient pedicures.

My wife and I enjoy going to this place to get a couples massage as it is relaxing.
On the few times I have gone, I have asked for the deep tissue massage which is fantastic as it helps work out any kinks or pain from working out that I get. (When they get to my calves, it takes a lot of energy for me not to scream in pain… haha.) In the same session, I have found it relaxing enough that I have fallen asleep. (Everyone seems to get a chuckle out of having to shake me back to consciousness!)
I know that most people get the 60 minute massage, but I implore you to try the 90. I find that just as I fully feel relaxed the massage is over! The 90 minutes moves by very quickly as well.
My wife and I ask for Angela or Renata as they are able to really ensure that your muscles get the proper treatment they deserve!
The facility is very clean. The massage tables are heated and can move up and down. The massage area is located upstairs where you can have some tea/​water and some snacks before or after your massage.
The only reason why I didn’t give them the 5 stars was due to the waiting area arrangement. Once you have changed into your robe (before your massage) you are ushered back into the initial waiting room. From observing the other people in the room, waiting in the room while wearing the robe leaves some people (especially women) feeling a bit uncomfortable.
