“I had a wonderful experience here with Ramia - I got a body scrub and facial. She was so kind, helpful and respectful. She's passionate about what she does. Thank you! I had a great time.”

“We came here as part of my friend's 50th birthday celebration. I got the Spring Renewal package and it was absolutely amazing. July was so personable and I enjoyed the service very much. Darren was also amazing. He went above and beyond to help making this celebration a special one. His kindness, effort to accommodate, and attentiveness was first class! I will definitely be coming here again. Thank you!”

“I had such a fantastic experience at Damara! I've never had a facial before, and Alicia was such a sweetheart. Upon arrival, the staff was very friendly and greeted me immediately. Alicia got me signed in, a pair of slippers, and brought me into the changeroom. She thoroughly told me exactly what to expect and where to go. I did take advantage of the sauna before my service as well. It was very quiet and relaxing. I had the Esse Live Probiotic facial and cannot be more pleased with how my skin looks and feels. We started with a skin consultation, which told me nothing shocking. Alicia was very knowledgeable and asked me lots of questions regarding my current skincare routine. She massaged the neck, shoulders, feet, and hands, as well as the facial area. After my treatment, I was offered tea and a cookie, and I relaxed in the lounge. I walked out of there feeling sublime. 10/10 would recommend, and will be back in the future!”

“I have had a pleasure of booking my facial at Damara Yorkville and had a splendid experience from the moment I walked into the spa until the moment I left. The service is incredible, the price is reasonable and they used only the highest quality products for the facial. I would like to say a separate thank you to Carlisle who went out of his way to bring me my golden chain I forgot after the facial. I have to admit I have never seen such a top notch service in any other spa and will definitely be back to try their other services. Highly recommend this beautiful & cozy spa in the heart of Yorkville. Thank you and keep up the good work!”
