I'm all about self-care and relaxation and here are some of my favorite places to just those things...
Valley Brows & Self-Care Studios (722 8 St unit 105, Canmore, AB T1W 2B6)
Tanya is a highly skilled and knowledgeable PMU artist and esthetician. I've been going to her since I moved here for all my skincare needs--facials, threading, lash lifts--and over that time, I learned how much she cares for her clients. Nano brows were a big deal for me, and there's no one else I would have trusted to be honest with me and do an amazing job. And Tanya delivered. She takes the time to plan and execute and is cognizant of her clients wants and needs. I love my new brows and I can't recommend Tanya enough. 11/10 = Highly Recommend. I want to add that I'm so excited for her new venture. I've already looked through her newest offerings and can't wait to book a facial. Seriously, she's the best.
Added May 16, 2023: I don't know if you know, but the multi-talented Tanya has added fine line tattooing to her service menu at Valley Brows. I was lucky enough to snag a spot when she started out and now, I have a sweet little fine line UFO added to my personal collection. I have collected many tattoos from shops around Canmore and Calgary and as relaxed and welcoming as the other shops are in Canmore, Valley Brows offers a slightly different experience because is a self-care salon. The chairs are comfortable, the space is bright and well lit, and it's almost like not even getting a tattoo. My tattoo experience with the artist (Tanya) was very easy. I emailed her reference photos, placement photos and size, and she emailed me appointment times. I paid a small deposit that was credited towards my final payment. If you're looking for a fine line tattoo in Canmore, Tanya's your person!
Wildflower Massage & Esthetics (713 8 St #5, Canmore, AB T1W 2B2)
I've been seeing RMTs at Wildflower since I moved to Canmore five years ago. The service is fantastic whether I need a last minute emergency appointment because I tweaked my neck or shoulder, the front desk will always try to squeeze me in. Or if I'm seeing my regular therapist, RYAN MARTIN, for maintenance, I leave feeling better than I did when I arrived. Aside from the convenient downtown location, they offer appointments 7 days a week and 12 hours a day.
The Yoga Lounge (826 8 St, Canmore, AB T1W 2B7)
Might be a little biased here because I haven't been to any other yoga studio in the valley, but I love the lounge. The love the instructors, the community, the owners and management. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming.
It's not a coincidence all these places are located on Main Street. It's where all the relaxation action is!
