Call your preferred Eccotique location to book your services in advance so there is no disappointment. We are always happy to help you with choosing the right services for you, and to help answer any questions.

3 weeks before…
Get a bikini wax
Recommendation: if it’s been a while, get the YVR landing strip, this will ease you into the West Coast Forest Fire which we highly recommend you do before your vacay. Also, while you’re at the spa, don’t forget to pick up your anti-ingrown hair arsenal, PFB Vanish, to keep things looking smooth.

Eyelash Perming
Recommendation: always wanted to ditch that lash curler? You can have the effects without the torture! Eyelash Perming solution is formulated specifically for lashes, is perfectly safe and will give you the naturally curled lashes you have always longed for. The results will last months, slowly relaxing over time just like a perm. For a really eye-popping effect, you can have your lashes tinted at the same time!

About 1wk before…
Eyelash Extensions
Recommendation: if you don’t want to bother with mascara and you want to have those fabulous dreamy eyes 24/7, we highly recommend this service! As lash extensions will last 2-3 weeks with proper care, having the lashes applied about 1 wk. prior will allow for any last-minute touch-ups if necessary.

Luxury Hair Repair Treatment
Recommendation: Investing in a hair treatment will go a long way when it comes to damage control! Professional salon treatments deeply condition the hair, repair any damage and prepare your hair for the onslaught of sun, salt and water. A Kerastase treatment is specific to your hair needs, as recommended by your stylist, and will last up to 20 washes!

Highlights/Lowlights
Recommendation: if your colour needs freshening up or you want to add some sun-kissed highlights, this is a good time to do it so you’re not leaving everything to the last minute. Make sure your home care regime includes a sun protecting product. For everyday protection, try Aveda’s Sun Care Protective Hair Veil (a winner of the Shape Sun Smarts Award) a water resistant UV defense mist. For more intensive repair, required after repeated exposure to the sun, we recommend the Sun Care After Sun Hair Masque.

A few days before…
Last bikini wax
Recommendation: the length of hair should be perfect now from your initial bikini wax 3 weeks ago. For a completely confident feeling, book the West Coast Forest Fire, you’ll never go back to anything else!

Leg Wax
Recommendation: ensure hair is at least ¼ of an inch long. There should be at least 24-36 hours between your leg wax and the first time you step out in the sun, so plan this accordingly. If you were planning on booking a body exfoliation at the same appointment, ensure your waxing service is booked after the exfoliation to avoid any irritation.

Eyelash Tinting
Recommendation: if your trip does not include packing a mascara wand, this is the service for you! Even if you have dark lashes, getting them tinted gives them a deeper hue and makes them feel fuller. If you have naturally light lashes, you’ll leave looking like you just applied mascara, only the results will last 2-3 weeks!

Grouse Grind Glory Scrub
Recommendation: if your vacation includes a beach, you will want to ensure that the tan you get is nice and even and that it lasts longer. Sloughing off dead skin cells pre vacay will give you glowing results.

Peep-toe Pedicure
Recommendation: Your feet will need more than just a basic pedicure after their first foray into the season’s limelight. The Peep-toe’s foot exfoliation and moisturizing mask will leave your feet not only looking very pretty, but feeling really great!

California Spray Tan
Recommendation: For a few reasons: first, it tends to minimize the appearance of any little lumps and bumps that you may be conscious of after donning your bathing suit; secondly, its perfect if you plan of staying out of the sun…at least you can look like you didn’t; thirdly, it eliminates two things…the blatant fact it’s your first day at the resort (camp ground, lake, etc.) and that you’re not Tilda Swinton, the actress.

Relaxation Massage
Recommendation: With all the stress of planning and getting organized (especially if there’s little ones involved!), you don’t want to waste the first few days of your vacation learning to ‘relax’. Get yourself a massage, you will not regret this.

Morning of…
Relax…it’s finally time for your vacation! Bon voyage!
