Beauty and wellness requests in Halifax

Crossing the harbour

If you're in Dartmouth and a professional is on the peninsula, or the other way round, the bridges and the harbour ferry both come into play. Say whether you'll travel across, and which side you prefer.

Regulated services in Nova Scotia

Physiotherapists in Nova Scotia are registered with the Nova Scotia College of Physiotherapists, and counselling therapists with the Nova Scotia College of Counselling Therapists. Massage therapy is not provincially regulated in Nova Scotia, so ask about training and association membership for insurance receipts.

How requests in Halifax are matched

1. You choose a service, confirm Halifax as your area and describe timing and preferences. No medical history.
2. Your request is shared only with approved professionals who have told us they offer that service in Halifax, cover the whole province, or work virtually when you say you're open to it.
3. They see the service, broad area and timing first. Your name and contact details are released only to professionals authorized for your request, and they reply to you directly.

An honest note on supply: we accept requests from every municipality in Canada, but accepting a request is not the same as having a matched professional. Professionals are joining area by area, so in some places you may hear from several, from one, or from no one yet.

In person or virtual

Hands-on services happen in person: hair, nails, skincare and facials, lashes and brows, spa, massage therapy, physiotherapy. Some services can also work online if you tick "open to virtual": personal training, yoga and pilates, nutrition, counselling. For counselling and other regulated health services delivered online, ask whether the professional's registration covers clients in your province or territory.

What affects the cost

We don't publish price ranges, because they vary by professional and we won't guess. These are the things that usually move a quote:

• Session length and what's included, such as a consultation or follow-up.
• Travel for home visits, especially outside the main urban area.
• Experience, specialist training and products used.
• Evening, weekend or short-notice timing.
• For regulated health services, whether receipts are eligible under your benefits plan.

What to mention in your request

• The service and any specifics, such as length, style or session type.
• Days and times that work, and whether evenings or weekends matter.
• Whether you'd travel, prefer someone near transit, or are open to virtual sessions.
• Anything that affects comfort or access, like step free entry. Keep medical history for the professional you choose.

What happens next

Matched professionals see the service, broad area and timing first. Your name and contact details are released only to professionals authorized for your request, and they reply to you directly. You decide whether to go ahead.
