Until two years ago, I was a regular client of the only accredited luxury spa facility in the Golden Horseshoe. At the suggestion of a friend, I decided to give Beautopia a try. Needless to say, I have not returned to the other spa. Kathleen is knowledgeable and highly trained. Her facility is clean, well-equipped, and serene. I enjoy the completely professional yet relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend Kathleen and Beautopia.
Theresa B., Dundas ON
I have known Kathleen for over 10 years and have found Kathleen to be honest, reliable, hard-working, conscientious and courteous. Kathleen has a long list of skills and abilities she can provide. However, I only ever get regular pedicures and manicures a couple of times a year. She is very personable with me and its a joy, and a time to relax when I go there. If you want a personal touch and a private place, I would recommend Kathleen and Beautopia.

My favourite outing to Beautopia is Kathleen’s Swedish Relaxation Massage. Kathleen is so professional yet very warm and welcoming. I have enjoyed many visits for manicures, pedicures, massages, hair removal, and makeup advice. I am impressed with the number of courses she has taken to offer such a wide range of services. Also, a favourite gift in my ladies walking group for any milestone birthday is a gift certificate for a special treat at Beautopia! I always look forward to my visits with Kathleen!
