I had a truly stellar facial from Susan. She is extremely knowledgeable and I was so relaxed throughout and after. I'm so thrilled with how my skin looks and will definitely be back.

Offer the hard wax and now I am hooked. Use to get my brows and lips done at a threading salon. It was painful and my skin was itchy and red. Going to Mia is so much better and not painful. Plus I like our conversations. So glad I found her at Skin and Body Works.

Hair on my face that has been driving me insane for years is now almost completely gone! I am so glad I finally made the investment in myself -- already I feel rejuvenated, more confident, and happier when I look in the mirror. Sonika is absolutely delightful as an aesthetician. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable about her craft, personable, and sensitive to her clients needs. She is also exceptionally kind and careful, and always makes you feel comfortable (especially when treating areas that can be somewhat painful, like the upper lip.) She also does great work threading brows. I had mine done for the first time by her and absolutely loved the result -- I don't think I'll ever go back to plucking now! If you are thinking about starting hair removal treatment, I encourage you to take the plunge and go for it! You won't be disappointed with Sonika's work. I trust her completely!

I had been contemplating laser for years and finally pulled the plug and went to A-One, which I'd…read moreread great reviews about. Those reviews don't lie! It's seriously great: affordable, quick, painless, easy appointment making, and friendly staff. The first time I went in for a consultation and was super well informed about the process. I've been doing sessions since then and love how easy it is to just pop in and pop out in under 20 minutes - so convenient! And the results are great, I've gotten over 90% of my hair gone in the areas of application. Highly recommend using A-One if you're considering hair removal!

They use a strong cooling machine along with the laser, so the treatments are literally painless. Prices are great, and Emma is super professional and friendly, which makes the whole process easy.

I moved back to the area in the fall and had to say goodbye to my favorite waxing place, and the…read moreproblem was that my old one in Boston had closed. I figured it was winter so less of a time to panic, and add in Covid and what I had was me sitting inside with my dog. However, in early February I started to realize that I could (somehow) find a new place for waxing or I could just get laser and be done with it. I saw a Groupon deal, but checked out their website and saw that I could purchase one visit at a time (I don't think I have seen this anywhere else, it is usually a package of 5 or 6 visits) and decided I could get one Brazilian wax for $60-80 (depending on location) or one laser treatment for $99; seeing as one lasts 4-6 weeks and the other forever, the choice was obvious. My first visit was 6 weeks ago (everyone is different, you might be 4-5 weeks) and my second was this morning, it really is not all that awful and Emma is really nice. They have a great system in place for Covid: call from outside to check in, then go inside when they are ready for you. They will check your temperature as soon as you get in, your bag (if you have one) will go into a plastic bag and you will be given a pair of gloves to wear after disinfecting your hands. Really, it is easy and much faster than waxing!! They also have online booking (!!!), there is no shortage of free parking outside on Trapelo Rd, and you will get a great service for much less than other places that over-promise and leave you feeling disappointed.

I have gone to 6-7 different waxers before her in LA and she is by far the best. Never did I know that bikini waxes could be so painless. This is less painful than threading and laser and does not hurt at all. If you have ever been scared of the pain of waxing I would definitely recommend her. It is clear that she is a professional and expert and has been doing this a really long time! Not only is she 100/10 skill wise but she is also the friendliest and kindest person ever and one of the nicest people I have ever met in Cambridge!! Thank you Paula!

Services were fine, but be aware they attempted to add an undisclosed 4% fee when I paid by credit…read morecard. This fee was not posted anywhere in the salon, not listed on their website, and not mentioned before the service. It appeared only on the payment terminal at checkout. I questioned it immediately and said it wasn't disclosed. After I left, they re‑ran the transaction without the fee. I appreciate that correction, but the fact that the fee was added in the first place -- and only removed after I objected -- was concerning. Massachusetts does not allow credit‑card surcharges, regardless of what they're called. Posting this so other customers are aware before booking.

I can't say enough good things about this practice. The entire team is kind, professional, and…read moretruly focused on what's best for you--not just selling services. They really listen and take the time to understand your goals, never pushing anything unnecessary. It feels like they genuinely care about achieving natural, thoughtful results rather than just making money, which is rare.

Scheduling and communication are also top-notch. They're always responsive, quick to reply, and very accommodating.

Really fortunate to come across Raya's place on Yelp after the fiasco that occurred down the street…read moreat Elite MedSpa. As most saw from the reviews, everyone is orphaned out of their treatments because the business decided to move without informing the clients; this move has taken over a month and a half and no information has been released. What is worse is the people who bought prepaid services (like me) were really left high and dry. Raya is amazingly wonderful, she's so cheerful and professional and very educated on matters of laser. As an Armenian, it's comforting to know there is a woman (also Armenian!) that understands our genetic disposition on hair growth. I am a veteran when it comes to laser hair removal and she's by the far the most skilled at making me feel comfortable. Her prices are fair and organized and her dedication is remarkable to her craft as she is the only person running RG ProLaser. I truly look forward to returning here for the rest of my treatments and starting new ones all over! She is a hidden gem in Arlington and I can't stress enough for people to visit her (especially if you're stuck now thanks to Elite Med Spa!!)

The results were good, so three stars for that. It was intensely painful, but I guess I expected…read morethat. Subtracting two stars because Raya was completely distracted during most of our appointments. She seem like she had something else she needed to be doing, and she just needed to get our appointment over with. On one occasion, she stopped doing the laser treatment right in the middle and took a long phone call from her interior decorator. On another occasion, she took a call immediately after we were done and didn't even say goodbye to me as I was leaving. It's not a spa and I'm not expecting star treatment, but at least save the decorating emergencies for after the treatment is over. I recently called her to get a follow up, and she never even called me back. I should have pretended to be her decorator, and then I would've gotten a call back right in the middle of her treating a client! Fortunately, I found another place, so I won't be going back.

I agree with Carissa one of the reviewers. I too have been trying to get a refund for a year now…read moreand keep getting the run around. NY offices and managers are no use.

It may be time to get attorneys involved and report the company to the Better Business Bureau. Meanwhile they opened a new spa in NYC!!
