Most of our Kitchener regulars used to book at downtown clinics. Then they tried the 12-minute drive to our Cambridge studio and stopped going back. Free parking, one esthetician (Maimoona) every session, no upselling, honest pricing. Here's why it's worth the drive — and how to make it work with your week.
From Forest Hill to a downtown Kitchener clinic can take 15–20 minutes in evening traffic. Forest Hill to Silkentouch via Highway 7/8 → 401 is 12 minutes flat. Add parking time downtown — we're often the shorter trip.
At chain salons, you get a different technician each visit — calibration history doesn't follow you. At Silkentouch, every laser session is run personally by Maimoona. Your settings build session-to-session. Results compound.
Six free spots directly outside the studio entrance. No street parking meters, no parkade ticket, no walking three blocks at 9pm in winter. Kitchener clients consistently mention this as the deciding factor.
You can book a single session of any laser area. Packages are offered (and they save real money — up to CA$294 on the Full Body 6-pack) but never required. The whole studio runs on "honest recommendation, slowest possible push" — which Kitchener clients consistently say is rare locally.
Cambridge sits at the intersection of Highway 401, 7/8 and 24. From most Kitchener addresses you're 10–18 minutes via Highway 7/8 east, then south on the 401 to Exit 282 (Coronation Blvd). Free parking immediately on arrival.
We use the Soprano Ice diode laser by Alma — designed for safe, effective hair reduction across every skin tone. Many of our Kitchener regulars come from South Asian, Middle Eastern and African backgrounds — diode laser at 810nm wavelength is specifically the safe choice for darker complexions (Fitzpatrick IV–VI).
A standard course is 6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Most clients reach 80–90% permanent reduction by session 6. The technical details, before/after photos, and the full pricing tiers live on our dedicated laser hair removal page — read the full treatment guide here.
Most Kitchener clients book their first consult on a Saturday — they want to meet Maimoona in person and see the studio before committing. The consult is free and takes 15 minutes.
From there, a typical underarms-only course runs as 6 sessions across roughly 8 months, with 4–6 weeks between visits. Each session takes 10 minutes. From a Forest Hill or Highland start, you're looking at ~35 minutes total per visit including drive each way.
About half our Kitchener regulars combine areas as the course progresses — adding a second area (e.g. Brazilian, full face, or chin) once they've confirmed the laser works for their skin. This stretches the total investment but maximises the value of each commute.
By session 6, most clients see 80–90% permanent reduction. Some areas (face, bikini) need 1–2 maintenance sessions per year after that. For maintenance, half our Kitchener clients keep visiting Silkentouch — others find a closer-to-home spot for occasional touch-ups. Either is fine. The core results are locked in.
Three reasons most of our Kitchener clients give: (1) free parking out front — no fighting downtown lots, (2) one esthetician runs every session start to finish (no rotating technicians), and (3) no upselling. We're 12 minutes from central Kitchener via Highway 7/8, which is often faster than driving across Kitchener itself.
From Doon/Pioneer Tower it's about 8 minutes. Forest Hill or Highland: 12 minutes. Belmont or Westmount: 13 minutes. Downtown Kitchener: 15 minutes. Stanley Park or Bridgeport: 18 minutes. We're located off Exit 282 (Coronation Blvd) on Highway 401 — easy to find.
Free parking is directly outside the studio entrance. No paid lots, no parking meters. If you prefer transit, Grand River Transit Route 51 stops on Coronation Blvd — about a 3-minute walk from the studio. Most clients drive though, because of how easy parking is.
Yes. Many of our Kitchener regulars combine areas during a single visit — e.g. underarms + Brazilian, or full face + upper lip. Each area is still its own session price, but you save the second commute. We block enough time so you're not rushed. Just mention it when you book.
Yes. We're open until 7pm Monday through Saturday. Most working Kitchener professionals book between 5:30pm and 7pm — a quick drive after work and you're home by 8pm.
Yes. We use Soprano Ice — a diode laser with adjustable wavelength and integrated cooling — which is the system specifically calibrated for darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV-VI). Many of our Kitchener clients come from South Asian, Middle Eastern and African backgrounds. Energy settings are confirmed individually during your first session.
Either works. For laser, you can book the actual session directly via the calendar — settings get confirmed in the first 10 minutes. If you're unsure which area you want done or have a specific skin concern, the free 15-minute consult is the better starting point. No commitment to book treatment after.

Amazing experience at this laser clinic. She is so kind, professional, and very friendly which makes you feel comfortable right away. You can already see results after just one session. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great service and real results.
I went in for a full body laser, it is a very safe space I felt very comfortable. The laser worked amazingly and I now have amazing results!! I totally recommend Silkentouch for anyone looking for a safe, reliable place to get aesthetics done!
Highly recommend Silkentouch for laser hair removal! Great results and pricing. Plus, Maimoona is super nice and makes you feel super comfortable — even with Brazilian.
Got amazing results in 1st session. Made me feel very comfortable. Should be your go-to place for laser hair removal.
Amazing experience at Silkentouch! Did my full body laser here — the staff is wonderful and the service was top-notch. So happy with the results!
I've finished four of my six laser hair removal sessions at Silkentouch. The clinic is spotless, and my technician Maimoona is both friendly and professional. The diode technology is fantastic — you'll start seeing results right after your first session! I recommend you go check them out!
You'll meet Maimoona, share what's bothering you, and leave with a clear plan. If the drive doesn't make sense or another treatment fits better, we'll tell you honestly.
