"My skin and body care haven. Vanesa is the most generous gem for treatments and the shop staff are so chill, easy, and knowledgeable. I'm a loyal lifer and have loved watching the shop grow while keeping its integrity + no-fuss retreat vibe."

""My 90min Lux Facial was absolutely incredible!! The massage was incredible and the products used were clean, natural and left my skin with such a glow. This was such a treat, they made sure that I was comfortable and relaxed. I could not recommend this facial enough!"

Aryana C

"Most delightful treatment... the Lux Facial was everything I had hoped. Completely relaxing and comforting and I left with a face that no longer felt my own: soft and supple! Thanks for the amazing treatment and helpful suggestions! I'll be back!"

Renee

"My first facial ever and I am so glad it was here! Thank you to Vanesa and Sunja Shoppe for such a wonderful experience. From start to finish Vanesa made me feel super comfortable, there was no pressure to purchase any products, and my skin was absolutely radiant. I will be back for a facial and to purchase some products soon as my skin has never looked better. Worth every minute.."

Aksana

".. the best massages (and facials) I have ever had, and I have been to all the major hotel spas in Vancouver. The prices are very competitive compared to other spas and there is great value to be had. But the “value” does not equate to lower quality. As far as I am concerned, Sunja Link is a hidden gem in Vancouver. Their products have also been great. I am a guy and I love this place and can’t recommend them enough. First class!"
