Carrie’l Salon & Spa ★9.5

Carrie’l Salon & Spa — a full-service hair, spa and skin destination in downtown Edmonton

Carrie’l has been a fixture in the heart of downtown Edmonton for over thirty years, and it is one of the few places in the city that genuinely does hair, spa and skin under one roof. It is the salon you book when you want colour, a facial and a massage in a single afternoon.

Services

The hair side covers colour, cutting, treatments, extensions, perms and event styling. Alongside it runs a deep spa and esthetics menu: spa and clinical facials, massage — including pregnancy and sports massage — body wraps, exfoliation and reiki, plus manicures and pedicures, waxing, threading, sugaring, brow tinting and makeup. Skin technology extends to laser treatments, microneedling and microdermabrasion.

Technology and brands

Two details set the technical work apart: Great Lengths bonded extensions for length and volume, and a micro-camera hair and scalp analysis that reads the condition of the scalp before treatment. The Loveliss frizz-control service tames coarse or humidity-prone hair. The shelves carry professional, results-focused lines including Davines, Comfort Zone, Jane Iredale, Jan Marini and the Advanced Nutrition Programme.

Team and stylists

Carrie’l runs as a multi-discipline team rather than a single-owner chair — talented stylists on the hair floor, highly trained estheticians on the skin side, and massage therapists booked separately. Because so many disciplines share the building, several appointments can be sequenced in one visit, with consultations before colour and extension work.

The Space

Set in the heart of downtown, the salon is arranged as distinct zones — a hair floor, quiet treatment rooms for facials and massage, and esthetics stations — so a loud blow-dry never bleeds into a relaxing facial. Rooms are private where the service needs it, and everything is kept clean and calm.

Who it’s for

For downtown professionals who want to combine hair, skin and body in one booking; for brides assembling a full pre-wedding package; and for anyone who values a long-established salon with medical-grade skin options alongside classic hair.
