Karen is fabulous, professional and friendly and very experienced. I used to go to the Euro wax places but the experience was always a little variable depending on who you see. Waxing at Karve is really thorough, not rushed, great cleanliness. Amazing spray tan options too, I tried a rapid spray tan for a vacation, Karen was super patient explaining the process and the results were great. Highly recommend!

She has a nice little area in the Seaport area and the booking process was extremely smooth. As a male, I'm always so worried about getting my eyebrows done... but her technique is so smooth, quick and painless. At first I was a little skeptical due to the lack of reviews... but I would 100% recommend her for anyone looking to get their eyebrows taken care of!

The space is chic, has a great energy to it and you'll feel very comfortable during the process. Highly recommend!

First off, shout out to Tammy. She gave me a fantastic belated bday experience. I've had my nails…read moredone at the myriad of different nail salons in Southie and DTX area and wasn't impressed. So I didn't have my hopes set too high with miniluxe. BUT! I was wrong - Tammy made me feel **especially** taken care of. It's one of the few times I genuinely felt like I was getting pampered at a nail salon for a simple mani???? Plus, I loved the ease of booking a next day spot online and also, there were so many times to choose from. I accidentally tipped 50% but it was such a great experience I was like "what the hell, sure". Thanks Tammy!!!

I am taking a break from gel and tried the performance polish which usually lasts at least a week. I got it done on Saturday and three nails had peeled and chipped on Sunday.

I used nail polish remover but it was kind of just peeling off.

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 had an absolutely TERRIBLE experience here. I asked for a full highlight to lighten my already…read moreblonde hair but instead, it was toned darker than when I walked in. When I voiced my concern, the stylist decided to strip the toner and all color -- including my natural color from my hair. This completely removed all dimension and left my once-beautiful blonde hair orange and yellow. No professional stylist should ever resort to stripping color like this. A few glosses could have easily corrected the tone -- and that's exactly what a far more qualified salon did afterwards. To make matters worse, after seeing the damage, they still suggested I come back in for a highlight... as if further bleaching on already stripped hair wouldn't cause serious harm. Anyone with basic color knowledge knows that would completely DESTROY the hair. I didn't have time to cancel the appointment, and I was STILL CHARGED for the service that left my hair DAMAGED. I left with broken strands, lost years of carefully maintained color, and a completely compromised hair texture. Some of the stylists here clearly lack the experience needed for proper color treatment. PLEASE do yourself a favor and stay far away. This was disappointing, frustrating, and deeply upsetting.
