Profile: Shear Elegance...for the ultimate spa experience

By Susan Regier

“Take a trip around the world and heal your body and soul with an exotic and organic feel of pleasure.” That’s the mission of Shear Elegance Salon & Spa, one of London’s hottest day spas when it comes to the finest in pampering and first class luxury.

Located at 1040 Adelaide Street North, the serene treatment rooms at Shear Elegance induce relaxation and rejuvenation. Clients can unwind from daily stresses with an aromatherapy massage, reflexology, or with the ultimate indulgence of luxurious hand and foot pampering. They offer a complete range of services using only the highest quality natural, pure organic skin and hair care products.

When customers enter Shear Elegance, they are immediately transported to the Mediterranean shores with the soft earthy tones and hand-painted wall murals. Costs have not been spared in providing the ultimate luxuries. The modern European furnishings were custom-made to ensure the ambiance is consistent throughout.

“We opened for business in June 2005, but in reality, I opened this salon twelve years ago in my mind,” said Ahmad Osman, co-owner of Shear Elegance with his brother, Joe.

After working in the salon industry for more than a decade, the brothers developed their skills and fine-tuned the image of their spa. And when the doors finally opened, nearly 95% of their customers followed…and their success has continued. They provide the latest and most exciting beauty and fashion techniques to complement their clients’ image and lifestyle. In less than one year, they have added 900 square feet of space, for a total of 3000 square feet, and are looking at further expansions.

“We wanted our clients to be swept off their feet with the treatments they receive – and they are. We work from our hearts and give 120% every time,” said Osman. Shear Elegance offers many packages and will customize to client preferences.

“Our customers are surprised at our reasonable rates. I think they have been used to paying high fees for first class service but we don’t believe they need to. Everyone deserves to be pampered, so we keep our services affordable.”
