What Makes Angelite Esthetics Different
Unlike multi-staff salons where you see a different technician each visit, Angelite Esthetics is a single-practitioner studio. You always see Shivani, who knows your skin history, tracks your progress, and adjusts your treatment based on how your skin has changed since your last visit. This continuity produces better results than rotating through different estheticians.

Nail Care Questions
Q: How long does a manicure last?
Regular polish: 5–7 days. Gel/shellac: 2–3 weeks. The tip area chips first — applying a fresh topcoat every 2–3 days extends regular polish significantly. Wearing gloves for dishes and cleaning is the single most effective way to extend any manicure.
Q: Is gel/shellac bad for nails?
The product itself is not damaging. The damage comes from incorrect removal — peeling or picking gel takes the nail plate surface with it. Always have gel removed with foil wrap and acetone, never peeled. With proper removal, gel nails are compatible with nail health.
Q: How often should I get a pedicure?
Every 4–6 weeks for nail maintenance and callus management. In summer with increased foot exposure: every 3–4 weeks. Callus removal at home is less effective than professional tools — regular professional pedicures prevent the thick calluses that cause heel fissures and cracking.
Q: What is included in the paraffin treatment?
Warm therapeutic paraffin wax is applied to hands or feet over a moisturising base. The wax is sealed with gloves or booties for 10–15 minutes, then peeled off. The result is significantly softer skin — recommended for dry hands, cracked heels, and clients with arthritis who benefit from the joint-warming effect.
Facials at Angelite Esthetics East York — Calibrated to Your Skin
Every facial at Angelite Esthetics starts with a skin assessment under a magnifying lamp — Shivani evaluates your skin’s current condition (not just your previous visit’s notes) and selects ingredients accordingly. This means the facial you receive today is calibrated to today’s skin, not a standardized protocol.
Facial frequency guide — how often to book:
| Concern | Ideal Frequency | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Active acne | Monthly | Keeps pace with 28-day skin cycle; ongoing clearing |
| Pigmentation / PIH | Monthly | Pigmentation requires ongoing treatment to fade |
| Anti-aging | Every 4–6 weeks | Consistent collagen-supporting treatments |
| Maintenance | Every 5–6 weeks | General health maintenance |
Pricing from $85 (60 min). Brightening from $95. Anti-aging from $95. Acne clearing from $90.

What a Proper Skin Analysis Looks Like at Angelite
Every facial at Angelite Esthetics begins with a professional skin analysis that goes beyond asking “is your skin oily or dry?” Shivani assesses: sebum production zones (T-zone vs cheeks vs perioral); hydration levels (visually and by touch); active congestion or breakouts and their stage (comedone, papule, cyst); sensitivity markers (redness, dilated capillaries, reactive patches); post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) — particularly relevant for South Asian and other deeper skin tones; and any prescription topicals or medications that affect which exfoliants and active ingredients are safe to use. This analysis takes 5–10 minutes and completely determines the cleanser, exfoliant, serum, mask, and any targeted treatments used in that specific session.
Frequently Asked Questions — Facials & Skin Treatments
How often should I get a facial?
Every 4–6 weeks for maintenance; more frequently for active acne. Shivani builds a personal treatment schedule at your first skin analysis at Angelite East York.
What facial for sensitive skin?
Describe your sensitivity during the skin analysis at the start of your appointment. Shivani customises every protocol to your skin on that day — no pre-set formulas. From $85.

Professional Facials at Angelite — East York’s Skin Experts
Every facial at Angelite Esthetics begins with a thorough skin analysis — assessing current skin type (which fluctuates with hormones, season, and lifestyle), identifying primary concerns, and reviewing any recent treatments or products that could affect how your skin responds to treatment. This analysis takes 5–7 minutes and is never skipped in favour of getting straight to the treatment. Understanding your skin’s current state produces dramatically better outcomes than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Our facial menu includes options targeted to the most common East York client concerns: dull skin (HydraFacial with brightening boosters), active acne (salicylic acid-forward deep cleanse with extraction), aging and loss of elasticity (anti-aging protocol with peptide masking and massage), and hyperpigmentation (vitamin C brightening with mild chemical exfoliation). Book a free phone consultation if you’re unsure which facial suits your current skin condition.

Chemical Peels at Angelite Esthetics — East York’s Exfoliation Specialists
Professional chemical peels use alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), or trichloroacetic acid (TCA) at concentrations significantly higher than over-the-counter products — producing controlled exfoliation that removes damaged surface cells and stimulates new cell production at a rate impossible with home skincare alone. The level of exfoliation achieved with a professional peel in a single session would require weeks of daily high-concentration home product use.
Chemical Peel Types at Angelite
Superficial peel (glycolic acid, 20-35%): Targets the stratum corneum — the outermost layer of dead skin cells. Produces brightening, smoother texture, and mild reduction in surface pigmentation. Zero to minimal downtime; appropriate for maintenance treatments every 4-6 weeks. Best for: mild dullness, early hyperpigmentation, texture improvement.
Medium peel (TCA or higher-concentration AHA): Penetrates to the upper layers of the living epidermis. More significant exfoliation with 5-7 days of visible peeling. Produces more meaningful improvement in moderate hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, and fine lines. Best for: moderate skin concerns in clients who can accept a week of healing time. Performed in courses of 2-3 treatments.
Chemical Peel Aftercare — Critical Points
Days 1-2: skin may appear flushed. Days 3-5: peeling begins — do NOT pick, peel manually, or exfoliate. Days 5-7: peeling resolves; new, fresh skin visible. Throughout: SPF 30+ every morning without exception. No retinoids, AHAs, or BHAs for 7 days post-peel. Mineral makeup is acceptable after day 3 if coverage is needed. Call (416) 691-9111 to discuss which peel level is appropriate for your skin concern.
The Angelite Difference — East York Professional vs Discount Market
East York’s beauty market spans from discount volume operations to professional clinical studios. Angelite Esthetics operates firmly in the professional tier: licensed esthetician, clinical-grade equipment, professional-grade product lines, and strict sanitation. This is not a price premium — our East York pricing is significantly below comparable downtown Toronto studios using the same equipment and standards. It’s an access advantage: East York residents get clinical quality without the downtown commute or downtown pricing.
Chemical Peel East York — Professional-Grade Peels at Angelite Esthetics
What Makes a Chemical Peel “Professional”
The difference between professional chemical peels and at-home peel products lies in acid concentration and pH. Professional peels use higher concentrations (20-70% glycolic acid, 20-40% salicylic acid, or TCA 10-25%) at properly buffered low pH — the combination that drives penetration to the appropriate skin depth. At-home “peel” products are limited by regulation to much lower concentrations (10% maximum glycolic acid) and are formulated to minimize risk at the expense of significant clinical effect. A professional peel at Angelite Esthetics produces visible results in a single session that at-home products cannot replicate.
Chemical Peel Indications at Angelite
Glycolic acid peel (AHA): Best for dull, uneven skin tone, fine lines, and mild texture concerns. Works on the surface and upper dermis. Zero downtime at lower concentrations; mild flaking at higher concentrations. Ideal for “maintenance” clients who want regular skin renewal without extended recovery. Salicylic acid peel (BHA): Oil-soluble — penetrates into pores, making it uniquely effective for oily, acne-prone, and congested skin. Reduces blackheads, shrinks visible pore size, and controls active breakouts better than AHA peels. Mild white “frost” during treatment; zero downtime for most clients. TCA peel: Reaches deeper dermis; most effective for significant hyperpigmentation, moderate wrinkles, and acne scarring. Requires 5-7 days of visible peeling and skin healing; produces the most dramatic single-treatment results.
Choosing Your Peel at Angelite
We assess your skin type, concern, and downtime tolerance at consultation and recommend the appropriate peel strength and type. First-time peel clients always begin at a conservative concentration to establish skin response — it’s far easier to increase peel strength at the next session than to manage an overly aggressive reaction. Chemical peel pricing at Angelite starts from $95. 📞 (416) 691-9111 | 📍 2217 Danforth, East York
