Yeah, Beautylicious has a pretty awkward name. We’ll still check it out though

So long as our email inboxes stay relatively clear of group coupon spam, we’re suckers for good bargains. Winterlicious? Sure. Summerlicious? We’ll usually give it a shot. Beautylicious? ... Huh?
Yep, you read that right: Beautylicious. It’s a Yorkville-wide “sale” on beauty-related services, and it kicked off last week. Latching on to the same philosophy as the city’s other (unaffiliated) ‘liciouses, a number of well-known enterprises are participating in this year’s 10-day-long promotion. Meaning that you can get that $500 blowout for a mere $350. (We kid. Kind of.)
At the risk of echoing what you’ll likely deduce for yourself, this is a not-so terrible opportunity to get acquainted with local salon/spa stalwarts like Greg May Hair Architects, Marc Anthony Salon, Holts Salon and Spa, Pure + Simple, and the spa at the Windsor Arms Hotel, to list just a few participants.
Admittedly, we are particularly intrigued by MYNC Lash Lounge and Brow Bar. While “brow bars” are fairly common these days, “lash lounges” are a little harder to come by in Toronto — especially stand-alone operations. And for those who aren't tempted by fake eyelashes or keratin treatments, Beautylicious is also boasting a few discounted fitness classes, acupuncture treatments, and physiotherapy sessions. So, yeah, don't say we didn't warn you!
