How MK Elegance Studio keeps things clean →

How far is MK Elegance Studio from the University District for a Customised Facial?

About 5 minutes by ION; a 15-minute walk from Laurier and roughly 30 minutes from UW’s main campus. Route: ION southbound from University of Waterloo or Laurier–Waterloo Park station to Willis Way (or walk down King St from Laurier), then a few minutes south on King St S. The Customised Facial itself takes 60–75 minutes, so plan your trip from the University District around that and allow five minutes to park and find the Luna Aesthetics entrance.

Can I take the ION from the University District to my Customised Facial appointment?

Yes. ION LRT: Waterloo Public Square stop (northbound, on King St at the north end of the square) and Willis Way stop (southbound, on Caroline St) are a few minutes’ walk north; Allen stop is a short walk south on King St S. GRT buses run along King St. From the University District it’s a 5-minute ION ride or 15–30 minute walk. Bring a list of the skincare you use at home; it shapes the products chosen.

I’m coming from the University District — how is a Customised Facial different from a set facial?

A set facial follows one protocol; the Customised Facial is decided after a skin assessment and can combine Diego dalla Palma and NaturMed steps to cover more than one concern. Getting here from the University District takes a 5-minute ION ride or 15–30 minute walk, and most University District clients keep to the usual rhythm: every 4–6 weeks.
