Kind Words From Our Guests

I can not express how much I love West Side Spa and how amazing it is. You rarely find a spa where you are greeted by your name upon entering and everyone is friendly and down to earth. WSS truly cares about their clients and community. During the multi day power outage from derecho, they offered free wash and style! Makes me feel good that I am supporting a local business that goes above and beyond. I am so lucky to have Mia as my stylist. She has a talent for knowing exactly what my hair needs. I leave the style and colour in her hands, my hair has never looked as good since I started seeing her. I highly recommend West Side Spa. It is a true down-to-earth gem.
— Sharon P.
Love this salon! Behnaz has done a balayage and cut for me a couple times, & I walked away very happy both times. I will be going to her regularly. She is very talented, experienced, friendly and professional. Highly recommend her service!
Also, the front desk staff are so so friendly!
— Jennifer S.
West Side Spa has been my go-to place for over 3 years. The vibe, the services and more importantly the staff are all the reasons why I keep coming back. My work schedule always has me scrambling to make last-minute appointments and Narin never disappoints in making my spa day a reality. Thank you Debbi for creating an environment of friendly stylists and estheticians that no matter who I am booked with, will always stop to say “hello”.
— Pina V.
I had my hair cut hilited and toned with Yana today, after a year of neglecting it, she executed the task beautifully and I left with gorgeous hair! Yana has been my stylist for 10 years -since working together at 2 locations previous to her move to West Side Spa. This is a beautiful modern location with a very welcoming staff. Highly recommend booking here with Yana, she does amazing work, and is a great company!
Whatever you are looking for, these ladies got you covered!
— Caitlin F.
I relocated to Ottawa over a year ago and until recently I have not found the perfect cutter or as they would say barber, for me.
It was my very first razor cut with Anna. She asked all the right questions, listened hard, and worked her magic. She maintained my length without the bulk, as promised.
Raving fan!
— Lyn E.
Customer service is Top Notch! As soon as you walk into West Side Spa you are always greeted like an old friend ♥️ The staff are super welcoming, taking your coat and offering a beverage as soon as you enter. The hair products are amazing: all natural and great quality without feeling too bulky. Everything you could do ask for in a Spa Salon.
— Kaitlin T.

Highlights are done with foil, which keeps the enlightener heated and allows for much more intense lightening.
Balayage, on the other hand, involves painting the bleach straight on your hair, using a freehand technique that gives a more organic result.
The difference between ombre and balayage is that ombre usually involves the ends of the hair having an all-over colour different from the roots, whereas balayage will allow your natural colour to peek through and there won't be a demarcation line.
