Those looking for complete bliss should choose the Premium Signature, as it includes 30 extra minutes of this facelift massage with hot towels, a nutrient serum and an optional rejuvenating face mask.


B - Release the super you and focus on skin health and tension relief with The Power-Yoga massage. Guests who do a lot of sport or are prone to holding stress in parts of their face will feel more balanced after this experience. The Premium Power-Yoga massage offers more time for relaxation and to focus on a specific area where you may be experiencing facial tensions or asymmetry, as well as an optional organic face mask that calms and brightens the skin.


C - Reveal your natural maternal glow while you enjoy ultimate relaxation and get absolutely pampered with the Mum-to-Be massage. Guests looking to soothe skin which may be troubled from their pregnancy will adore this calming experience. For the cherry on top, select the Premium Mum-to-Be massage to focus on a specific area and have the choice of an organic face mask that will leave your skin feeling velvety smooth.


D - For the more hands-on types, we’ve also got something for you! If you’re hoping to naturally care for your skin in the long-run, consider a Personal Coaching session with our facialist Emilie Céline. She will guide you through tips that are tailor-made for your lifestyle and provide you with an easy routine to manually massage your skin for brilliant results.


F- What do you get the person who has everything? A soothing wellness experience, of course! A Maison Ito gift card is the perfect option for friends and loved ones who deserve some rest and relaxation. From the bearded gentleman to the soon-to-be mother, there are soothing and energizing facial massages that are sure to please everyone you know.

| Are you experiencing any issues with your skin?


A. Wrinkles or sagging skin

B. Acne or pigmentation

C. Puffiness

D. Tired eyes and dark circles


Customize your massage by choosing add-ons that target your skin issues.


A - Hailed by critics far and wide as the non-surgical facelift, The Inner Facial add-on will restore your radiance and smooth fine lines. Even Duchess Meghan Markle and Keira Knightley adore this transformative massage.


Combat the signs of ageing and breath new life into your face by choosing The Facial Cupping add-on. This add-on uses the ancient art of cupping to stimulate the face from the inside out and leave it looking more plump and youthful.


B or C - Get the guasha glow with The Guasha Ritual add-on. This healing add-on uses the ancient ritual of guasha —a semi-precious and smooth stone— to treat acne and pigmentation, promote lymphatic drainage, contour your face, and even reduces puffiness.


D - Say goodbye to bags and under-eye circles from long, restless nights. Our new cryotherapy add-on, The Eye Revival, uses cool ice globes to revive and uplift the under-eye area to leave you looking renewed and fresh faced.

A or C - Anyone searching for more toned and rejuvenated skin can choose between The Power-Yoga and The Mum-to-be. The Power-Yoga massage is perfect for health fanatics who are used to doing plenty of exercise, but may need some help relaxing their muscles. Whereas, The Mum-to-be is ideal for the blossoming mother who is looking for a calming experience.


A or D - As for those looking for healthier beards, The Beard Man massage can help grow your beard and cultivate a rugged, yet sexy look. Gents searching for a little extra ‘me’ time will enjoy the Premium Beard Man, which provides more time for relaxation and uses an ultra-potent serum and nourishing oil to make your beard irresistible.
