Safe Thorough Knowledgeable Covid Conscious Amazing experience! Can't wait to go back - first time in my life I've felt like my skin is on track to look and feel the way I want it to! All Covid precautions taken and every single step of the process explained! Chrissy is a talented and kind professional! read more

Cure de Repos is amazing! I absolutely love the facials and anti-aging treatments I receive from Kelly--she is truly a gifted aesthetician! I have seen wonderful improvements in my skin and am so pleased! Also love their products! read more

It took me many years to realize that I was a person who felt best if I got some regular waxing (lip and brows). For years, I lived in Boston and cultivated a great relationship with an esthetician up there. Then I moved to Philly and was like, "Crap. Now I have to work ALL OVER AGAIN to find a person who does great work *and* whom I want to see literally once a month for the rest of my life." It was a delight to find Chrissy and Cure de Repos! She does an amazing job with the waxing. She's always happy to chat, and it's wonderful to get great service (she's a self-described perfectionist, which is... exactly what you want from someone doing facial waxing) from someone you have a wonderful rapport with. There are lots of products to buy there if you want them, and I appreciate that no one has ever done a hard sell to me. However, when Chrissy noticed me eyeing the deodorant they sell, she gave me a great personal recommendation, and I did wind up trying it out. It turned out to be excellent. So I suspect the other stuff is pretty good, too! :) read more

I've been consistently getting facials at Cure with Chrissy for over a year now. She is TRULY an expert, master at her craft, beyond talented. I fully trust Chrissy to do her thing during each of my appointments; she tailors her approach to whatever my skin is needing and my skin has never looked better. I learn something new every time I see Chrissy - tips & tricks, how to properly layer skincare, how to care for your skin during different seasons, etc. Also, Chrissy is the least pushy when it comes to purchasing products; she does a great job explaining what you might need but never, ever makes you feel like you should/need to purchase from her shop. Cure is truly a sanctuary and you'll feel at peace the second you step in the door. read more

I have been seeing Chrissy since I moved from LA to Philly, and going to Cure takes me back to the best of LA. Chrissy has created an oasis. She is super talented with skin care and is a lovely human being too. She put me back together last year after I took a pandemic hiatus, during which my skin suffered. Most recently, I did a makeup session with her to try out the new line she has at Cure. She showed me a simple way using very few products to create a nice, natural look. She doesn't push anything - services, products, etc. - but always has a good answer for me when I'm seeking some help. Cure is my self-care splurge, and I feel relaxed and pampered every time I visit. read more

Get a massage from Jazmin. She should insure her hands because those things are gold. I always find it so hard to relax but somehow she made it possible. She really gets to know your body and has some "moves" I would call them, to send you over the edge into chill town. I left feeling 10lbs lighter I swear. read more

Had a great massage from Paula. Highly recommend! Check her out.

Amazing customer service. The people who work there are efficient, kind and accommodating. Jazmin (my masseuse) was thorough. Definitely a great place to relax! read more

Excellent service every time I go to CURE. I get my brows done there regularly and use other services on occasion. Staff is flexible and professional. Spa environment is very nice. read more

Haven't had a facial in a minute. I came in for Chrissy's cure facial and I was NOT disappointed. Chrissy immediately identified my skin type to a T without me ever describing it. She knows her stuff! She also practically my put me to sleep with a luxurious 90 min facial... all the bells and whistles. I noticed an immediate difference in my skin and so did everyone around me! Chrissy gave me plenty of tips on how to manage my skin, and how to adjust things I didn't realize I was doing that might damage my complexion. 100% hooked and will be doing this regularly now! read more

Chrissy completely changed my life. I struggled with self-image issues due to not having "perfect" skin from teenage acne and scarring. I put off getting professional facials until now and bit the bullet for my upcoming wedding. Im glad I took the chance. She gives the best facials in Philadelphia. She is one of the best estheticians I've ever met. She follows up with her clients and even went through my current products with me. I haven't had to use any anti-acne products since my first facial!!! Wow! I drive from South Philly to go to her. She's worth every mile and penny. read more

My visit here was an awesome experience!!! Congratulations... "Best Philly Spa" is definitely deserved!!! I felt very comfortable and welcomed. Chrissy took great care of me as I faced my fear. Lol! All went well and I will return again. Thank you!!! read more

CURE de Repos - Lovely clean and cozy room - Skin Care Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Had a great experience here! Started with an amazing massage from Geri. I have a bad back and am picky with massages- usually people don't get deep enough for me. However, she she surpassed my expectations! I booked a 60 minute massage and wished I went with 90! I will definitely be back for more. Following my relaxing massage, I was taken into another room for dermaplaning with Chrissy, the owner. She was very knowledgeable and informative throughout the process. I loved seeing the dead skin and peach fuzz all go away. My skin was super smooth and glowing- my husband even noticed the difference! Very excited to get this facial a few times a year to keep my skin looking in tip top shape! read more

OMG! Just left the salon after receiving a lash lift and tint with Charlene! Goodbye mascara! My lashes have never looked so good. What a difference. If you are considering this process, definitely book it and ask for Charlene. I can't finish this review without mentioning the facial I received from Alexis last week. No doubt one of the best I have received. Love this little gem of a salon/spa in Chestnut Hill. read more

I have been following proprietress Chrissy Dress since she began working in the skincare industry at Blue Mercury way back when through her more recent stint at Rescue. I have never been more happy to write a review of her new establishment in Chestnut Hill as she is truly the best aesthetician I have ever been to. I don't regularly get facials (although I should!) but when I do I go to her. She is truly passionate about the work that she does and I appreciate how she gently educates you but never pushes you to buy things you don't need or won't use. I was also really pleased (although not surprised) that she surrounds herself with incredibly talented staff. I almost don't want to tell you about Geri as she is a wonder. If you are drawn energy work at all, I will just leave this here for you to pick up. To say that my experience at Cure de Repos was transformative does not do the place justice. I will go back again and again! read more

I really wanted to try microblading to get nicer eyebrows. So I booked an appointment without knowing much about the process, which is actually tiny cuts in your eyebrows. I was a bit surprised to hear that they only accept cash. I don't make a habit of carrying 600 dollars on me. After doing some research, I realized that I wouldn't be able to get my eyebrows wet for a certain period of time. So I had to reschedule my appointment because I had several hectic weeks ahead. The Saturday before my appointment on a Tuesday, I leave a message asking for more detailed information about the procedure. I get 3 lines in response, telling me " it's nothing. No down time. " When I looked at a competitor's website and read their waivers and after care info sheet, I really felt like this place really didn't give a damn about me and my experience. So I cancelled completely. Somebody called that Tuesday but left no message. I will stay away from this place, at least for microblading!!!! This is in response to the business response: I was told in September that the "credit card machine was down and we only accept cash". Why would I make this up???? Secondly, ladies, you should know ahead of time what's waiting for you and what paperwork (waivers etc... ) you will be signing BEFORE the appointment itself, not in the 100 dollars consultation prior to the procedure! Just my 2 cents.... Finally, there aren't a thousand ways to microblade. Do your research is my advice to you. Peace! read more

I was sooo happy to see Cure de Repos, open in Chestnut Hill, there are no establishments like this in the area, what a fresh breath of air. The store has such a warm and inviting vibe, you feel so comfortable and at home. Some of the products I was uncertain of but Chrissy assured me they were the right choices. I ordered the Environ sebuwash and Babor Ampoule Concentrates, which are wonderful elixirs for your skin. They were all sent directly to my house in jersey with a personal touch, stating I hope you enjoy.! About a week later my skin was radiant and clearer than its been in a very long time. Looks like I have to order more products soon, I am all out. Thanks Chrissy and crew, you all rock! read more

This place is AWESOME!!! I stumbled upon Cure De Repos while running errands in Chestnut Hill. When I first walked in I was immediately greeted with a big warm welcome from the owner Chrissy and her assistant Kelsi. They made me feel right at home, like we have been friends forever. I told her I would love to book a facial but wasn't sure which service to choose from their menu. Chrissy told me don't worry, that she would take good care of me and customize the facial just for me. Later that week I went in for our appointment and she ended up giving me the swiss arma-lift facial along with a light peel and OMG my skin looked AMAZING!!! I was thrilled with my new glowy, youthful and firm face! I went back several weeks later for a massage and bars session with Geri, and was equally impressed with her services. Her knowledge of energy work blew my mind and I felt much lighter, and more energized when I walked out. This is place is a new business and is truly a GEM! I will definitely be making this a regular spot to visit and treat myself. read more

I have experienced facials at some of the best salons in the US over the past 3 decades- Georgette Klinger, Kate Sommerville, Mario Badescu-- Chrissy is a star!! I felt completely at ease & safe relative to how Chrissy is managing appointments with COVID. As much as I would love to keep her as my little secret- women "of a certain age" need experts who care enough to address our specific needs- the added bonus is a esthetician who has experience working with women of color and it's a win-win!! COVID has taken a toll on us all- Chrissy helped get my glow back--thanks to hubby for my birthday gift! I look forward to many future visits!! read more

Had a fantastic facial today (Dermaplanning) by Geri. I've been coming to Cure for about 6 months and every time she does a fantastic job. My skin is smooth and has this awesome glow. She is knowledgeable, fun and explains the procedure. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area. I will definitely be returning next month to treat myself again. Thank you Geri. read more

I had the most amazing facial at Cure the other week. I saw Geri who is tiny but mighty! She is not only an esthetician but a licensed massage therapist as well, so her hands are MAGIC. Cure is a small spa with a very warm and welcoming staff and look. From the moment you arrive you are treated like they WANT you to be there -which is so unusual these days, especially at spas. Geri immediately took me back and had me lie on a heated bed - she dimmed the lights and had me just close my eyes and relax. The room was the perfect temp and I was close to drifting off a few times! Her facial was AMAZING -she removed all of my blackheads and worked on relaxing me and rejuvenating my skin. Facials can sometimes be painful if the provider isn't skilled - with Geri I never felt a second of discomfort, even as she excised all of my blackheads, some that were deep under the skin. She didn't try and engage me in mundane conversation like so many clinicians do - instead she let me set the tone if I wanted to just lay and relax or chat a bit. Afterwards, she got me water and let me really relax until it was time to get dressed. My skin was GLOWING. The best compliment I can give her is that when I got home, my husband did a double take and said "jeez your skin looks really good!" I will absolutely be back! Thank you Geri!!!! read more

I went for a facial with extractions with Geri. She was warm, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience relaxing and fun. This was my first time going for a facial and I was nervous that I would be shamed or pressured to buy certain products, and my experience could not have been farther from that! Geri normalized my skin concerns and had such a relaxed and natural approach to skin care. There was zero pressure to buy anything or book more services. However, I did ask for recommendations for skin care and purchased products based on trusting Geri's approach and am enjoying the products! I will definitely be back! read more

I just found my new go to salon for facials. I have had facials in just about every salon in town and can say this place is among the best. Geri Massott was the aesthetician who worked her magic on my dull winter skin. I left glowing and completely relaxed. I will definitely be back for another facial soon. I can't wait to try their massages and other services too! read more

Fantastic facial! I had Geri for a microdermabrasion facial and she was incredibly nice and knowledgeable. My skin was radiant afterwards and still is days later. Highly recommend this place - the services are great and it's super cute inside. read more

Had a lash lift & tint with Charlene at the end of November and waited several weeks before posting so I could speak to longevity of the service. First, Charlene is caring, kind, has great hands and is fun to talk to. And the lash lift was a total game changer for someone as lash-challenged as as I am. It's been nearly 5 weeks and my lashes are as lifted/defined as day one (they tell you to expect it to last 6-8 weeks). Just had another tint done to make best use of the lash lift! Someone else wrote "goodbye mascara" and that's exactly how I feel too. Great service, great esthetician! read more

Cure is a godsend. Been going here for almost six months. Every product she uses is phenomenal and the highest quality facial I've ever received (I've had them all over Colorado, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, and Spain). Chrissy is a gem and will tailor your facial to you and your skin at that moment in time. Always a happy and loyal customer. read more

I am so happy I found this place! They do an amazing job with my brows and I had a fabulous massage. They are extremely friendly and make you feel very comfortable. I will be recommending all my friends to go here! read more

I found Cure with a Groupon and it is amazing. Chrissy the owner is amazing and I will not go anywhere else for my waxing needs. The place is very nicely decorated and extremely clean. The staff is so friendly and you feel pampered when you are there. I found my one and only spa from now on. Thank you for such a great experience. read more

I have been going to Cure de Repos since last November and I always walk out glowing! The facials are truly the best, and the products used feel amazing and leave my skin looking youthful. I have also had work done by Geri and she is truly talented. The spa has amazing and talented people working together to leave you with a great experience!! read more

Geri did great work my first session with a Swedish massage. I went in for a second time with the recommendation for cupping on a Thursday. The day after my 30 minute cupping session, I woke up with severe neck pain and couldn't move my neck for close to 48 hours. It was very scary. I called Friday to speak to Geri about it and didn't hear back til Sunday evening. There was little assistance or possible solutions offered. I ended up canceling my third appt because of the lack of follow through and will unlikely be back. Very disappointed. read more

Cure de Repos is an amazing spa! Their customer service is phenomenal because they know how to meet your individual needs. Chrissy is wonderful and their products are fabulous! Can't wait for my next facial. read more

Discovered Cure during the CH Fall Festival when Chrissy offered me a complimentary eyebrow wax as part of her grand opening festivities. I was immediately at ease with her pleasant, sweet demeanor. Like a good bartender or hair stylist, she is easy to talk to and has an empathetic ear. I booked a facial with her this past January as a birthday treat to myself and have been going every 8-12 weeks since. My skin has never looked better. Chrissy is a gentle, experienced aesthetician who is conscientious about following beauty, healthcare, and dermatology trends. She will listen to and address your concerns which made me feel that the experience was unique to me and not a one-size-fits-all treatment. I always feel comfortable in her spa as she has created a serene environment in a small space - the treatment table is warmed, the lighting is soft, and the music is subtle. I most appreciate that there is no pressure to buy specific products and that I have received samples, when available, of products to try. The skin care regimen Chrissy helped me to design is simple and has drastically decreased my breakouts. Pricing is in line with other establishments. Cure accepts credit cards but tips should be made in cash. read more

I had such a wonderful experience at Cure de Repos! I scheduled Microblading with Alayna and could not be happier!! The recovery was seamless and the result absolutely amazing!! I don't have to worry about filling in my brows anymore, they look so natural, yet full and with a beautiful shape!! I definitely recommend them! I can't wait to go back and try a facial next. Check them out!! read more

I had my first visit here today and it was wonderful! Chrissy is very skilled, gentile and really attentive. And the spa itself is a beautiful place to spend some time. I can't wait to go back and I could not recommend more! read more

Had my first visit to CURE de Repos yesterday, and it was truly AMAZING. I felt so pampered and luxurious from the moment I walked in the door. My skin today is glowing from my facial, and I'm already loving the lip gloss and mascara that Chrissy helped me select. read more
