Location: 800 Carnarvon St #263

Hours: Mon—Fri, from 10 am—7:30 pm | Saturday, from 10 am—6 pm

If you’ve ever dreamed of escaping to a spa haven without leaving downtown New Westminster, Mon Chéri Salon & Spa might just be the best-kept secret. And now, it’s more beautiful than ever! 

Located at Shops New West, steps from the New Westminster SkyTrain Station, Mon Chéri has recently unveiled a renovation that elevates self-care into a full sensory experience. Elegant yet welcoming, luxurious yet warm, this refreshed space reflects what Mon Chéri does best: offering head-to-toe beauty and wellness with intention, care, and heart. 

Our goal was to create a space that feels elegant but also comfortable and welcoming — a beauty oasis where clients instantly feel relaxed, cared for, and filled with joy.
— Barbara Lima, owner of Mon Chéri Salon & Spa

And that feeling is unmistakable the moment you walk through the door! 


Award-Winning Beauty, Built with Love 

This year, Mon Chéri Salon & Spa was named Best Beauty Salon in New Westminster at the Canadian Choice Awards — an achievement that still feels surreal to Barbara and her team. 

We were absolutely stunned. We’ve only been operating for just over three years, and to be chosen by our clients and community means everything to us.
— Barbara Lima, owner of Mon Chéri Salon & Spa

The celebration doesn’t stop there. Mon Chéri has already been nominated again for 2026, a true testament to the trust and love they’ve built within the New West community. 


A Complete Beauty & Wellness Experience 

What truly sets Mon Chéri apart is its ability to offer an unmatched variety of services all under one roof. From facials, body scrubs, and massages, to haircuts, lash extensions, nails, waxing, laser hair removal, and more — Mon Chéri is the definition of a one-stop beauty destination. 

We invest heavily in training and developing our team so we can consistently deliver high-quality services.
— Barbara Lima, owner of Mon Chéri Salon & Spa

According to Barbara, clients love the convenience of enjoying the self-care journey all in one visit. Time, after all, is a luxury, and Mon Chéri understands that better than most. 


Brazilian Warmth Meets Global Beauty Expertise

Mon Chéri’s philosophy of head-to-toe care is deeply inspired by the owners’ Brazilian roots, blended with international beauty industry expertise. Her vision was to bring the warmth of Brazil into a high-level beauty experience.  

We wanted to create a space where clients can receive elevated care from head to toe — without rushing — and still feel genuinely welcomed.
— Barbara Lima, owner of Mon Chéri Salon & Spa

That warmth is felt not only in the services but in hospitality. Ask any Mon Chéri guest what they love most, and you’ll often hear about the details. 

From being greeted with a coffee or cappuccino — and during the holiday season, a complimentary hot chocolate — to thoughtful birthday celebrations complete with cake and charming decorations, Mon Chéri makes every visit feel personal. 

High-level services are the foundation. But it’s in the details where we show our love for what we do and for our clients. That’s what creates connection and makes people feel special and truly welcome.
— Barbara Lima, owner of Mon Chéri Salon & Spa

A Dream That Found Its Home in Downtown New West 

Mon Chéri began as a shared dream between Barbara and her business partner, Talita, who previously owned a hair salon in downtown Vancouver. What started as a conversation soon became a vision — a place where well-being would be the center. And beauty? Should be intentional, singular, and treated with love and care. 

When they discovered their current location in downtown New West, everything clicked. 

We’ve been so supported by this community since day one. Mon Chéri is incredibly proud to call downtown New Westminster home.
— Barbara Lima, owner of Mon Chéri Salon & Spa

The Perfect Holiday Gift — and Beyond 

With the holidays and New Year approaching, Mon Chéri has created holiday-inspired packages designed to bring joy, relaxation, and special moments of self-care. Many packages even include a special gift, thoughtfully curated for the season.  

Gift cards are also available — both physical and digital — making it easy to treat loved ones (or yourself!) to a spa day any time of year. 

Because at Mon Chéri, self-care doesn’t end when the holidays do.

Looking Ahead to 2026: Effortless Beauty, Elevated Care 

As we move into 2026, Barbara sees a growing demand for low-maintenance beauty services that fit busy lifestyles — think natural balayage, hard gel overlays, and lash lifts that keep clients feeling polished and “ready to go” every day. 

And to Mon Chéri’s loyal guests — and those discovering the salon for the first time — Barbara leaves this message: 

Thank you to our incredible clients who made this beauty oasis possible. We’re so grateful to you. And to our new guests, we can’t wait to welcome you. Let’s start 2026 prioritizing self-care and self-love.
— Barbara Lima, owner of Mon Chéri Salon & Spa
