Good morning Mississauga,

This week’s list has a few things to book, save, or send around before the weekend rush. There’s comedy with GenX Takeover Comedy Tour, films from MISAFF Film Festival, and a Square One pop-up from Sauce Bauce.

Let's get into it!

This Week's Local Feature

Aurum Satori Spa

There’s Something New at Mississauga’s Japanese Head Spa

Japanese relaxation meets personalized Italian botanical scalp care.

Dryness, excess oil, visible flaking, sensitivity, seasonal shedding and thinning-looking hair do not all call for the same approach.

Aurum Satori Spa in Mississauga has introduced Advanced Botanical Scalp Care, combining its relaxing Japanese Yume technique with Organethic Pure Care, a professional botanical scalp-care line from Italy.

Each experience begins with a scalp assessment and follows a personalized six- or eight-step botanical protocol. Preparation oils, essential-oil blends and professional scalp care are selected according to one of four pathways:

Hydrating for dry, tight or flaky-feeling scalps

Volumizing for excess oil, buildup and flat-looking hair

Energizing for seasonal shedding and thinning-looking hair

Nourishing for very dry, sensitive or reactive-feeling scalps

The Evolution ritual adds personalized scalp exfoliation and a warm herbal decoction for a more complete botanical experience.

Throughout the service, the Japanese head spa experience remains: warm steam, purified soft water, Aurum’s signature waterfall and slow scalp massage.

The care changes. The relaxing part does not.

Discover which botanical scalp-care ritual is right for you at Aurum Satori Spa in Mississauga.
