Welcome to Coldwater Skin Bar!

We have a couple of great specials for October!!!

Book any facial with Erikka and get a complimentary Brow Shape and Tint! Please note that this special cannot be combined with other special (for example - pre-paid facials).

Book an IPL Photofacial with Robin and we’ll turn it into a mini facial - you’ll banish pigment and redness AND get a hydrating jelly mask and bonus cryostick massage!

If you do not know which facial or skin treatment will be most appropriate for you, please book a Custom 75 or 90 minute facial with one of our skin therapists. These appointments will include enough time for a skin consultation AND will allow us to use any tools or techniques that are most appropriate for you and your skin.

Please note: Some of our practionners take appointments outside of our clinic hours - if you have an appointment booked and google says we are closed, don’t worry - we are at the studio waiting for you!

We look forward to seeing you in the studio!
