Welcome to The Follicle, Burlington’s Spa & Hair Salon

Established in Burlington in 1972, The Follicle Spa & Hair Salon has proudly cared for generations of clients with professional spa, skincare, beauty, and hair services in a warm and welcoming environment.

For over 50 years, we have been known as a trusted destination for clients looking to relax, restore, and feel their best. Our full-service spa and salon offers advanced skincare, facials, nail and foot care, massage, hair styling, hair colour services, makeup, waxing, and a wide range of treatments designed to support your overall well-being.

At The Follicle, we believe beauty and wellness go hand in hand. Whether you are visiting us for a results-focused facial, a relaxing massage, a fresh hairstyle, a manicure or pedicure, or simply a little time for yourself, our professionally trained team is here to guide you with care, knowledge, and genuine attention.

Our south-central Burlington location has been thoughtfully designed to feel calming, clean, and comfortable. We take great pride in maintaining a professional environment where hygiene, sterilization, and client care are always a priority. Our equipment and treatment spaces are carefully cleaned and maintained, and our business is regularly inspected by the Department of Health.

Most importantly, we want every client to feel at ease the moment they walk through our doors. We take the time to listen, understand your needs, and recommend services that help you relax, rejuvenate, and restore.

We invite you to visit us, meet our team, enjoy a tour, and experience the thoughtful care that has made The Follicle a trusted part of the Burlington community for decades.

We are now MASTER AESTHETICIANS!

What It Means to Be a Master Aesthetician

Being a Master Aesthetician is far more than holding a credential or completing advanced training. It’s a calling, one rooted in deep knowledge, skilled hands, and a heart for guiding clients toward confidence and better skin health. At its core, mastering aesthetics is about blending science, artistry, and compassionate care into one seamless experience.

A Master Aesthetician is:

1. A Leader in Skin Science

They have an exceptional understanding of skin anatomy and physiology, and how it behaves across every stage of life.
They can:

Recognize and treat complex skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, aging concerns, sensitivity, and pigmentation
Understand how hormones, environment, lifestyle, and stress contribute to change.

Their expertise enables them to work safely and confidently, delivering treatments that are both corrective and compassionate.

2. A Specialist in Advanced Treatments

A Master Aesthetician isn’t limited to basic facials. They’re trained in high-level procedures such as:

Chemical peels (multi-depth, multi-acid, corrective protocols)
Enzyme therapy and advanced exfoliation methods
Dermaplaning and more intensive resurfacing
Clinical-strength treatment layering
LED phototherapy
Oxygen therapy (OxyGeneo + VIP OxyGeneo)
Growth factor and collagen-based treatments
Microneedling (when within their scope) or collaboration with medical team members
Scalp and hair restoration therapies
Holistic skin rituals that support lymphatic flow and reduce inflammation

They know when a treatment will help, and equally important, when it won’t.

3. A Trusted Guide and Educator

Clients often walk in feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or confused about their skin.
A Master Aesthetician steps in as a steady hand, helping clients understand:

Why does their skin behave the way it does
Which products genuinely make a difference
How to build routines that support long-term skin health
Which treatments will help them reach their goals efficiently and safely

This educator’s heart is part of what makes them so trusted. They simplify the complicated without ever talking down to their clients.

4. A Skilled Collaborator with Medical Professionals

In a modern spa environment, like ours, a Master Aesthetician works closely with our RNs. They understand:

Pre- and post-care for medical treatments
Contraindications
How aesthetic and medical services complement each other
When a client needs to be referred to a medical professional for better outcomes

This partnership ensures that every client receives safe, comprehensive care.
