Airbrush Tanning
Our airbrush tanning service delivers a natural-looking golden tan without sun exposure. Using advanced technology, the application takes 10-15 minutes with results lasting 5-7 days. The treatment includes options for full body, half body, or targeted areas. Our technicians use high-quality, streak-free formulas that develop gradually for a flawless finish. Clients appreciate the convenience of achieving a sun-kissed appearance safely and quickly in our comfortable setting.
Swedish Massage
This essential oil-based treatment combines classic Swedish techniques with therapeutic benefits. Available in 30-minute to 90-minute sessions, it promotes deep relaxation through rhythmic strokes and pressure point work. The massage improves circulation while reducing muscle tension and stress levels. Clients can choose individual or couples sessions tailored to their specific needs. Our certified therapists customize each session using premium aromatherapy oils for enhanced wellness outcomes.
Facials
Our facials utilize ultrasound technology and Cell Supporting Molecules (CSM) for comprehensive skincare. Treatments address specific concerns like dehydration, wrinkles, and rosacea through customized protocols. The 45-minute to 2-hour sessions include deep cleansing, exfoliation, and targeted serums. Advanced options like hydradermabrasion and oxygen facials deliver anti-aging benefits. Clients receive personalized skincare recommendations based on professional analysis of their skin's unique needs.

Went for a hot stone massage the other day. It was amazing, it was a great price, staff were very friendly and professional. I originally booked for two people but my sister was unable to make it last minute and Julie, the owner was very understanding and was not rude or upset about it. The massage itself was fantastic, it was my first one and I will definetley be back! Would highly recommend the hot stone massage and any of their services for your self or friends/family :)!

We stumbled upon Petite Retreat Day Spa while looking for something to do in Niagara. Julie and Kathleen were welcoming, warm and provided great conversation. Walking in the door we were instantly relaxed. The atmosphere is very laid back. The hot stone pedicure was incredible, both women were knowledgeable about stresses in the feet and how to alleviate them at home.
