There's something quietly powerful about a Black woman-founded beauty brand planting its flag in a brand-new building — especially when that building is one of Toronto's newest hotels, and the brand has spent over a decade earning its reputation one satisfied client at a time.

On Saturday, May 9, 2026, BISC MedSpa & Cosmetics held its Grand Opening at 996 Martin Grove Road, Floor M, Suite 124 — a new location nestled inside the Staybridge Suites Toronto Airport East, the freshly opened IHG property in Etobicoke that has quickly become a landmark on the western edge of Toronto. The event ran from noon to 7 PM and was an open invitation to the community — no velvet ropes, no gatekeeping. Just luxury, beauty, and self-care made accessible.

From Vaughan to Etobicoke: A Brand Growing Into Its Vision

BISC MedSpa & Cosmetics is not a newcomer to the beauty scene. The brand traces its roots to 2013, founded by Bankole Tutu Fausat — an entrepreneur, licensed esthetician, medical aesthetician, cosmetics formulator, and cosmetologist who built her practice on a simple but deeply felt idea: beauty is colour. Every skin tone, every texture, every complexion deserves expert care and products formulated with intention.

The flagship location has long been rooted at 90 Regina Road, Unit 11A in Vaughan — a hub that has served clients across the Greater Toronto Area with everything from skincare treatments to a curated line of cosmetics and wellness products. The Etobicoke expansion, now operating at 998 Martin Grove Road, is not just a second location — it signals a brand ready to grow into the city it has been serving.

A Setting That Matches the Ambition

The choice of venue is significant. The Staybridge Suites Toronto Airport East is a brand-new IHG property rising 12 storeys, offering 193 thoughtfully designed rooms with contemporary comforts and airport views. Strategically located just minutes from Toronto Pearson International Airport, the hotel opened in January 2026 and has already positioned itself as a premier destination for extended stays in the area. It is connected to the Holiday Inn and designed as a home-away-from-home experience, featuring spacious suites with fully equipped kitchens and inviting social spaces.

For BISC MedSpa & Cosmetics, situating inside a hotel of this calibre is a deliberate brand move. The spa will serve not only Etobicoke residents and loyal clients making the short drive from across the GTA, but also hotel guests — travelers who arrive needing to decompress, refresh, and feel at their best before a meeting, after a long flight, or simply because they deserve it.

What BISC Offers: Where Skincare Meets Science

What sets BISC apart in a crowded beauty market is the intersection of clinical knowledge and product formulation. Bankole Tutu Fausat's training as a medical aesthetician and cosmetics formulator means every product in the BISC line — from the flagship Glutathione Face & Body Lotion to the Vitamin C Facial Serum and Retinol Serum — is rooted in skin science. The brand carries a full range of creams, serums, scrubs, soaps, hair care, and makeup, with targeted lines for ebony skin, bright skin, and even kids.

Services extend beyond retail. The spa's treatment menu includes signature facial experiences — the Glow Radiance Facial, the European Signature Facial, and Flawless Makeup Application — alongside body care and hair treatments. Whether a client comes in with hyperpigmentation concerns, acne, dark knuckles, or simply wants a full-body glow reset, BISC has a protocol designed for them.

The brand's philosophy is inclusive by design: all treatments are formulated for all skin types, with particular depth of expertise in melanin-rich skin — a gap that too many luxury spas still fail to adequately address.

The Grand Opening: A Community Affair

The May 9 event had the energy of a celebration that felt genuinely earned. Doors opened at noon and guests filtered through the afternoon hours into the early evening, experiencing the new space, sampling products, and getting a feel for what BISC's Etobicoke chapter will offer. The open invitation format reflected the brand's character — welcoming, community-forward, and uninterested in artificial exclusivity.

For a brand built on the idea that beauty belongs to everyone regardless of colour or skin concern, this expansion is a natural next step. BISC MedSpa & Cosmetics is carving out space not just in a new building, but in the broader conversation about what luxury self-care looks like when it's built with intention, science, and a genuine love for the craft.
