The Meaning of exhālō

The word exhālō is a unique creation and intentional play on the words exhale and halotherapy. Our watercolour mandala logo centers and calms the mind with vivid blue tones inspired by salty sea and air. Featured in the centre is the throat chakra symbol known as the center of purification where energy transforms. The throat chakra not only relates to the respiratory system but is considered the leader and voice of the body, thus all of our unique beauty services are built surrounding our centered Salt  Room and expert Dream Teams skills.


Our Mission

Our exhalo mission is to spread joy through the power of touch! We believe in providing the best services and products possible, along with the highest levels of cleanliness, sterilization practices, and customer service. We focus on offering a warm and relaxing environment where everyone is welcome and feels like they can simply exhale... because we've got you.  Did we mention we also like to have fun and create personal connections?


Our Facility

Our exhālō facility offers a Himalayan salt room to enjoy Halotherapy (dry salt therapy inhalation) for 1-2 persons, four treatment rooms for our luxurious Eminence Organic Spa face & body treatments along with waxing & sugaring services, four pedicure, and three manicure stations to suit group parties or individuals, Pinnacle Makeup artistry services, and AVEDA, So Pure Kuene & WELLA haircare & colour.  Family Days are offered on Sundays for your little ones to accompany you if needed, or to enjoy Mini self-care treatments themselves.  We're also proud to be a carbon neutral salon and not only recycle, but turn any waste into renewable green energy with help from our partner, Green Circle Salons.  Simply exhale, we've got you.

Halotherapy


What Is Halotherapy?

The term “Halotherapy” comes from the Greek word “halo”, which means salt. Halotherapy is a powerful, yet natural treatment created by a halogenerator that stimulates a natural salt cave microclimate. This dry salt vapor is antiviral and used in unique conjunction with our softly lit Himalayan salt bricks. This relaxing touchless treatment may ease respiratory ailments, skin conditions, and reduces symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression all while you relax and simply breathe. 

Inhale salt, and exhale wellness.
