THE STORY OF HABIBI

The essence of the ‘Habibi Experience’ lies in its commitment to professional skincare, delivering luxurious experiences and achieving transformational skincare results.

The term “Habibi” holds deep meaning in Arabic, signifying a term of endearment and love. This beautiful term encapsulates the essence of the spa, as it aims to create an atmosphere of warmth, care and affection for its clients.

The inception of Habibi Spa dates back to 2010 when the founder, Salisa, developed a profound admiration for Middle-Eastern culture. Inspired by her newfound passion, she enrolled in a dance class at Toronto’s Arabesque Academy, which proved to be a turning point in her life. Through these classes, Salisa was introduced to an environment where women were taught to love themselves, appreciate their bodies and cultivate a positive and confident mindset—an aspect she had previously overlooked.

Empowered by this life-altering experience, Salisa’s self-confidence skyrocketed, igniting a burning desire within her to pursue her dreams. She took charge of her life, determined to open her own business. That summer, with the support and blessing of her Father, Salisa proudly became a small business owner.

Since its establishment, Habibi Spa has made remarkable strides in providing exceptional skincare services, it is committed to offering professional skincare treatments, ensuring each client receives a luxurious and unforgettable experience. With focus on achieving transformational skincare results, Habibi Spa aims to enhance the overall well-being and confidence of its clients.

As a sanctuary of self-care and rejuvenation, Habibi Spa welcomes individuals from all walks of live, embracing diversity and promoting self-love. By upholding the values of love, care, and empowerment. Habibi Spa strives to create a haven where clients can indulge in a personalized and transformative skincare journey.
