If you’ve ever struggled to find a spa that combines clinical expertise with consistent, trustworthy care — you’re not alone. As skincare and wellness become essential parts of how Canadians manage health, stress, and aging, the demand for reputable, results-driven providers continues to rise. That’s what makes California Sun Spa’s recent achievement especially relevant: the Toronto-based spa has been awarded the CBRB Best Business Award for the sixth consecutive year — a distinction that sets it apart in a highly competitive industry.
This honour, presented by the Canadian Business Review Board, recognizes businesses across the country that demonstrate exceptional service standards, ethical practices, and consistently high customer satisfaction. For California Sun Spa, located in the heart of Bloor West Village, it’s a reflection of over two decades of quietly building a reputation as one of Toronto’s most trusted destinations for advanced skin and body care.
A Clinic-Level Spa That Puts Care First
Founded by Renata, a seasoned skincare professional with deep expertise in both traditional esthetics and the latest in skin technology, California Sun Spa is anything but ordinary. The spa offers a full spectrum of non-invasive services including medical-grade facials, electrolysis, laser hair removal, body contouring, microneedling, and anti-aging therapies like OxyGeneo, Exilis Ultra, and IPL photo rejuvenation.
But what truly sets the spa apart is not just what they do — it’s how they do it.
“Renata is truly my angel,” writes client Chrys M. in a Google review. “With her extensive knowledge and experience, she really helped me with my skin concerns. My skin has never looked so good — thank you!”
Clients routinely praise not just the technical quality of their treatments, but also the honesty, warmth, and personal attention they receive. That’s a key reason why so many have stayed loyal for years — even decades.
“I’ve been coming to this Bloor West gem for over 20 years and am still experiencing new treatments and products,” says long-time client Carol Rolheiser. “From the spotless environment, warm reception, to the skilled professionals treating you, California Sun never disappoints.”
Advanced Technology with a Human Touch
While the spa is known for its welcoming, boutique feel, it’s also equipped with cutting-edge technologies typically found in dermatology clinics. Clients often highlight their surprise at the comfort and effectiveness of advanced procedures like laser hair removal, which the spa performs using high-end systems designed for all skin types.
“My electrolysis and laser hair removal are immaculate,” says Lisa Li. “Their machine uses recent technology that I haven’t seen at other locations — and I hardly experience any pain.”
Other top-requested services include:
- OxyGeneo Super Facials – A three-in-one facial that exfoliates, infuses, and oxygenates the skin for immediate glow and long-term benefits.
- Exilis Ultra™ – A non-surgical body contouring and skin tightening solution using radiofrequency and ultrasound.
- Endermologie® – A mechanical lymphatic massage that targets cellulite and improves circulation.
- Microneedling with PRP – Also known as the “vampire facial,” this treatment stimulates collagen production and enhances skin rejuvenation.
These services stand apart from fleeting trends; they’re customized based on individual client needs, with consultations built into every experience.
“The treatment exceeded my expectations,” says Ellie P., a local guide. “I left so relaxed and energized at the same time, with my skin feeling like that of a newborn baby.”
A Team You Can Trust
The spa’s success is equally rooted in its team — a small, consistent group of professionals who’ve built genuine relationships with their clients. Whoever it is that works with clients, each esthetician is known not only for their technical skill but also for empathetic, attentive care.
“Alla is awesome — very professional at her job!” shares Patricia. “I have ingrown toenails and she knows exactly what to do to ensure I have no pain. She does not rush through her services. Highly recommended!”
“Sanita gave me the best facial ever,” says E. Barros. “It was super relaxing, very thorough, and five days later, my face still feels hydrated, calm, and glowing.”
California Sun Spa is also known for its ethical service practices — something clients don’t take for granted. One reviewer, Janice Masotti, shared an experience where she accidentally overpaid, and the spa immediately returned the excess — an act that reinforced their reputation for integrity.
“A very trustworthy and talented team! Thank you for your exceptional care all round.”
Earning Recognition Through Consistency
Winning the CBRB Best Business Award six years in a row is no small feat. It’s a rare distinction that requires not only excellence in service but sustained customer satisfaction, strong operational standards, and a commitment to ethical business practices.
This is an industry where trends shift and competition is fierce, and California Sun Spa has held its ground by focusing on the fundamentals: results, honesty, and personalized care.
“You are always assured of wonderful service at California Sun Spa,” says Monica D’Souza. “Renata is really professional and yet so caring. It is a pleasure having treatments with her.”
Importantly, the spa consistently takes in client feedback — a mark of a business that listens and evolves.
More Than Skin Deep
For many, California Sun Spa goes beyond simply being a beauty destination; the staff have created a welcoming environment to ensure it can serve as a much needed place of routine, trust, and personal growth for uncountable Torontonians. Whether clients are preparing for major life moments, managing skin conditions, or simply carving out time for themselves, the spa’s impact extends beyond the surface.
“I’ve been going to California Sun Spa since I was in grade school,” writes Kinga Dubiel. “Renata was the reason why my skin glows these days… I trust her and her team for all my skin needs.”
