Aurora Salon & Spa

Eco-conscious beauty is the theme at this Ottawa salon and spa on Bank Street, where services are offered with ethically sourced, cruelty-free products. The menu combines hair cuts and colours with spa treatments such as manicures, pedicures, waxing with azulene wax, brow and lash tinting and Aveda facials customized for concerns including aging, acne, dryness and sensitivity. Lash artists apply classic, hybrid, volume and mega volume extensions, and a lash lift and tint are also available. Body options include an aqua polish sea-salt exfoliation and an aromatherapy massage performed by estheticians rather than registered massage therapists, so receipts for insurance are not issued. A complimentary hot beverage is offered and guests can upgrade with a glass of wine, beer or Baileys. Appointments are requested through an online form, and cancellations within 48 hours are charged at 50 percent.
