I've been seeing Anh at BackBay Skincare almost every month this year for hydrafacials, and I can…read morehonestly say it's completely transformed my skin. It feels like one of those secrets you almost don't want to share because she's that good. I've been to all the "fancy" and overhyped spas in Boston, and nothing compares--those places feel like a lot of promises without results. With Anh, I get instant and lasting benefits every single time. My skin is clearer, healthier, and I've gotten more compliments this year than I ever have. She also takes the time to recommend products that actually work for me, which has made such a difference in keeping my skin on track between visits. If you're looking for results-driven skincare in Boston, this is the place. Anh is truly a hidden gem.

I have been seeing Kelly roughly every other week for the past year, and have seen massive…read moreimprovements in my skin. For context, I have pretty severe cystic acne, went through one round of Accutane which helped initially, but then my acne came back with a vengeance. I had awful inflamed nodules and acne all along my neck that were painful and itchy, and it is completely smooth and clear now thanks to Kelly's skill and persistence in extracting. I also get microdermabrasion, which she recommends on weeks when my skin is looking calmer and can benefit from the extra exfoliation to get rid of dead skin and help with scarring. She also does scalp and facial massages to help you relax during the treatment which is really nice. If you have acne-prone skin that hasn't responded to typical treatments or medication from dermatologists, I wholeheartedly recommend seeing Kelly. Getting regular extractions and facials with her has made a world of difference, and I can finally see real progress in my skin that actually lasts.

Good deal on ClassPass, including paying a few more credits for duo or trio…read more Really liked: - getting wrapped in a cozy cocoon on a continuously warmed bed - steamer - overall many layers of skin treatment and the feel of each - "Let the Expert Decide" - at first I was afraid she was upselling but after discussion including that I had an event in 2 days, she decided against the peel + other treatment that would be +$20 on top of the duo I'd booked and the other recommendation did not require any additional $ - Arm massage felt really nice Could be better: - Small curtained off treatment rooms and tiny dressing areas. Really detracted from a luxury pampering spa feel - While the waiting area was fine, the small paper water cup offered and lack of tea or infused water other options also felt like a missed opportunity for a small thing that enhances the customer experience from the start - neck massage was so light touch that it really was just an "extra" relaxing thing but nothing like the massages I normally get that actually release tension - I had to wait a while for the front desk woman to come back to check me out. There was no apology or explanation. She was very nice though so I wasn't too upset about it. But perhaps they have more systemic issues coordinating schedules of treatment, front desk service, and other responsibilities. Also it could have just been a 1-off

When I first wanted to go get a Brazilian, I was coming in there with a lot of trauma and I was…read morereally worried about how this was going to go. The word on the street was that Karen Golden was the person you went to if you were coming into this from a place of trauma and the street wasn't kidding. If you're kind of a hot mess, you won't find a more compassionate person. She's not judgy, she's not unkind, and she makes the process of ripping your pubic hair out of your body as not-awful as it possibly could be. The room is clean and smells nice. Her assistant Lara is also as kind as can be. She takes cash or checks and everyone is understanding if you don't come by on the regular or have to cancel at the last minute (I disappear for months at a time: my income ain't what it used to be) but if you can only go to one place for the rest of your life for waxing, this is where you should go. She's the best.

When I moved to Boston, I did my research, made some calls, and landed on Le Visage. After my first facial with Bea, I knew I made the right choice and I thank my lucky stars after every booking with her. Beatrice creates a customized experience for each of her clients, depending on the needs of their skin. She is extremely knowledgable about her craft and is genuinely invested in your journey to clearer skin. After a few months of religiously booking facials and sticking to the regime, I have seen major improvements: my cystic breakouts have subsided enormously and now she just focuses on blackheads and milia. Anytime someone asks for recommendations on skincare, I always send them to Bea and Le Visage!

I had a 60 minute signature facial, and while I am blessed with good skin genetics and do a lot to take care of my skin oh my own time, I get hormonal cystic acne and have some scarring because of it. Her studio space is adorable, relaxing and comfy. She also wore a mask the whole time and encouraged me to wash and sanitize my hands (at her ensuite sink!) right when I walked in which I appreciated. Meredith clearly used every tool and bit of knowledge at her disposal to do as much as she could for my skin in the time that we had. She did so many different things to my face (based on what I told her about my goals and what she saw - I'm sure it would be different for everyone) but there were cleansers, peels, vibrations, LED lights, steam & extractions, vitamins...I must be missing something. I left so glowy I can't wait to go back! Thank you Meredith!

You maybe doing skin treatments for years, you still have to be respectful of your patients, listen to their concerns and try not to burn their face.
