Christina Poma cut, colored and styled my hair. She’s very knowledgeable of picking a perfect color scheme, given my complexion and desires. My hair is the perfect color to finish off the summer and enter into the fall. It’s obvious she cares about her clients and works to the highest level. Thank you!

The most amazing ambiance from the start to finish, per my manicure appointment! Greeted with refreshments & a smile! So many color options for manis & pedis! My nail technician, Melody, was awesome! She took her time to understand what I was looking for & did an amazing job! Loved my experience here & will be returning for more services!

I love the salon and spa, and have been a customer for a long time (5+ years). The location is perfect, right in the city in a lovely area and the building itself is outfitted beautifully and is so cozy. Paul and Ben, the owners, are wonderful people who remember their clients by name and are kind, respectful, and accommodating. Special shout outs to Cory, who has been doing my hair for years and is an absolute blast to chat with, and Madelyn, who is a bit newer, but does an amazing job with my facials. Additionally, I had my wedding party hair and make up done at A+C and we had a wonderful time and everyone looked beautiful!

This is one of my favorite spots to go and enjoy a spa day! The service is phenomenal and the staff and very friendly and kind. Definitely the vibiest spa in Rochester, NY.

What an amazing mother daughter day my mom and I had together. Christina gave me the best facial I’ve ever had and I got my first deep tissue massage by Kevin which was absolutely incredible. The sanctuary waiting room was so relaxing - there was water, coffee, tea, and snacks! We also were given a glass of wine to enjoy while we waited! What a perfect day spent at Ape + Canary! This was our first time visiting but won’t be our last!

This was my first visit to A & C after following my hair stylist there. Oh my goodness… LOVED everything about my day there from start to finish. Everyone was so friendly and made me feel so comfortable. The decor was absolutely stunning!! I literally felt like a million bucks, thanks to Angela and the staff at A&C!! Beyond 5 stars!! 🌟

The beautiful, simple decor was relaxing from the moment we walked in. It had been forever since I’d had a massage, had almost forgotten how wonderful they are. I don’t like deep, hard massages and my massage therapist listened carefully and provided exactly the level of pressure that felt healing to me. 50 minutes is way too short, next time will go for 80 minutes! Afterwards, my friend and I relaxed in the sauna. I didn’t have time to enjoy the waterfall shower, but people going to Ape+Canary should be sure to find the time to enjoy all the little pleasures that surround the massage treatment. Overall, a wonderful experience!

Jack knew exactly how I wanted my hair to look. The blow-out was perfect. I also appreciated the last minute availability; I lucked out! Such a lovely location, too, in this historic building.

Absolutely incredible experience! You are brought in and it feels like a vacation experience packed into 90 minutes. The staff are so kind and generous. You are given snacks and comfortable robes and drinks and you have a great time while you are there. The masseuses are excellent at their job and respectful. Facilities are spotless and make you feel at home. Can’t wait to go back!

This spa is amazing. Everyone is so friendly and the environment is very very relaxing. It is a extremely pleasant experience and I would recommend it over other spas..it has a charm all its own. My deep tissue massages with Scott have become addictive. All my services have been fantastic. I'm very happy with my experiences here.. ☺️

Excellent experience. I had a gift certificate for an Escape Package. What a treat! It was my first ever massage. I was bit nervous, but Sam(uel) was awesome. He was very patient and explained the process. I was not at all uncomfortable and the massage was amazing. Madelyn (facial) and Melody (pedicure)were great too! I will definitely be back.

Melody did my nails and I couldn’t be happier! After a lifetime of acrylics my natural nails needed serious repair she made them look so beautiful and healthy I am very impressed I already booked a follow up with her. On top of doing a great job she is also just wonderful to be around, I highly recommend booking with her!

Very relaxing experience. I had a full body massage ( Josh ) it was absolutely amazing. Relaxed after in the sitting room and used the sauna /steam room. Definitely worth every $$ . Definitely will make another appointment. Make sure you arrive early to enjoy the relaxing room.

I absolutely love this salon and spa. I've been a member at Ape & Canary since 2020, I've booked nails, hair, spa services, etc and I am often hard pressed to find a comparable business. Their prices are competitive with Woodcliff, Del Monte, etc, their technicians, therapists and stylists are amazing, and the sanctuary is perfect. I love all of the amenities the spa has to offer, including snacks, beverages, waterfall showers, sauna, and the coziest giant couch you've ever seen. Whenever I have a date with a friend, or when my mom's in town, or when my husband and I just need a day to unwind, A&C is at the top of my to do list. A couple of shout outs - Marlaina is awesome with hair, I love what she's done with my color and cuts, Gabby is amazing with nails, my husband loves going to Josh for his massages, and I love going to Christina and Madelyn for facials. My mom swears by Liz for her massages and I had a great massage with Scott!

I was in town for a concert and decided to treat myself a little. I had never heard of this place, nor had ever been to a spa before, but I am very glad I found them. From the moment you walk through the doors you are ushered into peace, tranquility and compassion. The anesthetic of the building is unmatched. I was given a curly cut by "The Curl Whisperer" Angela, and it was truly amazing. I had never played with my curls before, and she gave them the loving attention they sorely needed. The signature facial provided by Madelyn was the highlight of the visit, and set me at ease in a way I had never been before. This truly is a safe space, which I greatly appreciate. Customer service and guest relations are immaculate. All around a very positive experience. I am already planning another trip to Rochester to lose myself for a day in their amazing hands.

The atmosphere is warm, cool, and, stylish at Ape + Canary. I LOVE getting my curls cut and styled by Angela Johnson - she’s amazing! I actually followed her here from a different salon. My hair has always been in good care by her and she always asks and double checks with me on the type of cut or style I want.
