Can you walk us through the Red-Carpet Glam Facial? What makes this treatment stand out for achieving a camera-ready glow in just one session?

The Red-Carpet Glam Facial is designed specifically to give clients a radiant, flawless complexion quickly and effectively. This treatment involves a complete skin analysis where the aesthetician will determine your needs whether resculpting, lifting or toning. The service begins with a deep cleanse, followed by a massage using LPG Endermologie technology. What sets this facial apart is the personalized KNESKO booster serum selection, tailored to target different skin concerns such as hydration, brightening and resurfacing. It ends with a relaxing hand and arm massage using gold shimmer oil. Guests leave with a revitalized look and camera-ready glow.

The Red-Carpet Glam Facial offers a selection of premium KNESKO booster serums. How do you guide clients in choosing the serum that best suits their skincare needs for the festival?

We assess each client’s specific skin concerns and goals and provide professional advice following the skin analysis. By understanding their unique needs and desired outcomes, we tailor the serum choice to ensure they achieve the best possible results.

The Golden Diva Manicure sounds like the ultimate indulgence. What inspired the creation of this luxurious treatment, and how does it complement the overall red-carpet preparation?

It’s your time to decompress before a fabulous event! The Golden Diva Manicure was inspired by the need for a glamorous, high-impact treatment that not only delivers beautifully manicured nails but also a sense of indulgence. The gold inspired theme features exquisite Omorovicza products, a decadent hand massage, a complimentary glass of bubbly and an eye mask with derma globe massage.  It pairs perfectly with any other red-carpet preparations.

As Senior Spa Director, what trends are you noticing among celebrities when it comes to pre-event treatments? Are there specific requests or preferences that have become popular this season?

This season, there is a noticeable trend towards effective treatments that involve products and technology that facilitate the production of collagen for a natural, fresh look. Celebrities are also looking for bespoke services that target multiple concerns at a time.

TIFF is known for its demanding schedule, with stars attending multiple events in a single day. How do your treatments help clients maintain a fresh and radiant appearance from morning screenings to late-night after-parties?

Our treatments are designed with a busy schedule in mind and for a long-lasting effect. For example, the LPG Endermologie technique stimulates the body to keep working after the facial is done. So, it’s like going to the gym for your skin!

For those looking to experience a taste of celebrity pampering during TIFF, what advice would you give to first-time visitors of The Spa at Four Seasons Toronto to maximize their treatment benefits?

Let us take you on a luxurious journey. We recommend arriving at least 45 minutes to 1 hour before your treatment to use the Spa’s overall environment and amenities to prepare your skin and allow time for a personalized consultation. We want you to leave feeling pampered and rejuvenated.
