Beauty and wellness requests in Montréal

Language

French is Quebec's official language, and many professionals work in both French and English. If you'd prefer your appointment in one language, add it to your request. It's a reasonable thing to ask for and saves an awkward first call.

Getting there

Plenty of studios are close to a métro station, which makes timing easier in winter. If you're off-island, on the South Shore or in Laval, say whether you'll come into the city or want someone closer to you.

Regulated services in Quebec

Physiotherapy and dietetics are governed by professional orders in Quebec, and the title of psychotherapist requires a permit issued by the Ordre des psychologues du Québec. Massage therapy is not a regulated profession in Quebec, so ask about training and association membership, especially if you need insurance receipts.

How requests in Montréal are matched

1. You choose a service, confirm Montréal 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 Montréal, 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.
