    You can see the whiteheads and blackbeads floating in this vial
    Virginia G.

    I have tried all facials in Boston, from your shady hole-in-the-wall spots in Chinatown to the bougie, mostly white, upper class clientele ones on Newbury street, and Anh is by far the best. This is my first time getting a facial with Anh, and I am so far very impressed. We decided to get a Dermalinfusion for my extremely clogged pores. She walked me through every step so nothing came as a shock when she performed the treatment. She answered enthusistically when my inner nerd came out and asked her all sorts of derm questions. I could see results after just one facial, although she did tell me that that I might see some whiteheads surface again. She said that as long as I was consistent, we will see it through until I feel no bumps under my skin again. Will update once I start coming more consistently. ALSO! It started pouring heavily and instead of leaving me to fend for myself, she lent me her umbrella!! Thank you, Anh!!

    2 days after the facial (no breakouts or anything after the Hydrafacial)

    I came in last week for a hydra facial md by Anh. Facial left my skin feeling very light and clear. The results were even more visible the day after. Ann was gentle and explained every step during the process of the facial. My skin is somewhat sensitive so Anh applied a cucumber serum that had a really nice cooling effect. The facial is pricey though so I will probably save it for special occasions or for every quarter.

    Two hours after dermalinfusion- no erythema and not shiny.

    Super clean and friendly staff. The wax was easily the best wax I've gotten in Boston and I've lived here for over 2 years.

    Lady nice, facial was no nonsense, a bit expensive for only 45 min. I wouldn't go again for how short the facial was considering the cost.

Unfortunately, my experience at checkout left a very different impression. I was initially charged $53 for two replacement nail tips, which seemed extraordinarily high. When I questioned the charge, it was reduced to $43, but I still found that excessive for such a minor service. This was my first visit, and while I appreciated Vina's work, the pricing for the nail repairs felt unreasonable and left me feeling taken advantage of. I would strongly recommend confirming the cost of any add-on services before they are performed. For what I paid for two replacement tips, I could have gone to my regular salon and received a full manicure. Great technician, but disappointing and unexpected pricing. Buyer beware.

    I recently saw Luis for a Brazilian (Manzilion? Nah, Brazilian is gender inclusive enough I think)…read more I generally think of a Brazilian as removing all the hair in the area, but in this case I wanted to keep some hair above for a somewhat more natural, masculine look. In any case, this is the only the second time I've had waxing done and I absolutely wanted Luis to do the work, and I'll explain why: First of all Luis was thorough and professional in explaining the options and procedure in advance, and made sure I was completely informed and comfortable with the process. Second, the environment he works in is great. High ceilings, lots of natural light, homey and comfortable. Also I like that he is a sole practitioner so it's completely private. This was especially important to me the first time I went to him since it's such an intimate procedure. He immediately made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Third, he did a great job! Thorough and artful. Exactly what I was hoping for. If this is your first time getting waxed you should know, yes, it looks great, but even better is the results feel amazing - so superior to shaving. Super smooth and more sensitive. Even when the hair grows back no stubble, which I find very uncomfortable. Anyway, if you're thinking about it do it, and have Luis do the job. The experience and results are amazing.

    I had a session several months ago and was too afraid to share anything. This was a completely…read moreuncomfortable experience (he doesn't look like his pictures) and he made various suggestive comments throughout the wax session that were unprofessional. What should have been one hour was dragged into two hours. I was too afraid/nervous to leave. I would stay away.

    I had eyebrows, upper and lower lip, and chin done last Sunday. The technician had a nice demeanor,…read morebut her technique left me with sores (that soon turned into scabs) on my lower lip and eyebrow area. Instead of using a single swift pull, this technician (Sheila) used a series of small pulls, which I believe led to the sores. But I'm not sure about that. What I can say is that I'm in my mid-50s, have been waxing for decades, and have never been left with sores/scabs. So this issue is distinct to this visit to EWC in Brookline, MA (and I've been to several others in the area). Additionally troubling is that I wrote a note to EWC stating the above to no avail, even offering to send them photos that I'd taken. Not only did no one contact me, I know they received my complaint because I got a follow-up survey inquiring as to my satisfaction regarding the efficacy of their follow-up. Incredible! You can't make this stuff up. I've even checked Junk, thinking "surely not, surely *someone* would have written back; maybe it went into the Spam folder." Nope. Non. Nada. Anyway, the woman at the front desk was lovely, friendly, chatty, and very welcoming. Despite that, unless I want more scabs, returning to this EWC seems unwise and so I won't.

    Serviceable if you need a wax on short notice and you live nearby. However, they're very fast, they…read moredon't really ease you into the process. It felt so rushed. And there were bits of wax and unattended hairs left on my body. Just go to an independent aesthetician for a better experience, I'm never coming back here.
