Worst massage of my life and the front desk was not surprised. Don't get me started on the weird sticky lotion used... just an awful experience. I wanted to leave the table 5 minutes in when I realized this therapist didn't know what she was doing but I felt bad. I thought she might have been a new student but when I asked the front desk, they said no - and gave me the rate of a member as if that would help me regain the most awkward hour on a massage table. Ugh.

Alycia makes you feel right at home and her technique is perfect for me. I don't really like Swedish massages- I prefer deep tissue, and Alycia's precision always works out all the knots. Though I am sure she can adapt to your preference. I highly recommend booking (the website is the easiest online booking ever) with Alycia for a more peaceful.

So the first massage I had, at the Marblehead location, was simply terrible and left me in severe…read morepain. Elaine, the owner, called and offered a free massage done by her in order to make up for the previous situation. My massage from Elaine was incredible! That is how a massage should be. Before I went in I wasn't even able to bend down or do much moving at all without hurting my lower back. Immediately after the massage I tested and attempted to stretch my hamstrings - I could! I can feel my muscles are still a little tight in the lower back but I know I can at least work on them now with stretching and yoga. I thought Elaine's quick response and suggestion to rectify the situation from before was completely wonderful and her massage made it all the better. Thank you, Elaine!

My mother had gone to Sue a few months back and she highly recommended Sue. So, I waited for my haircut to get it at Seaport Salon. Sue was very professional, friendly, calm and did an amazing job with my hair and my 6 year old son, who also got a haircut the same day. She created a "new me" in just half an hour and I left feeling great about the new hairstyle that she created for me. Will definitely go back to Sue next time I'm in MA. Can not say enough great things about her!

Unfortunately, I cannot speak for the services; this review solely relates to the scheduling…read moreprocess. I have never written a negative review but thought that my experience might be beneficial for others to read as they are deciding where to book an appointment for spa services. I had an appointment scheduled for a Saturday at 9:45am. At 9:17am, while I was en route to my appointment, I received a call from the owner that she was having car troubles and that she was waiting for AAA and would be in late but expected to be there soon. I had brunch plans later that day and did not want to go to the appointment and wait, given that the timing of the resolution of the car issues was uncertain. I was unable to come in later that day and the owner did not have her appointment book with her at that time, so we couldn't confirm an appointment for the following week. We agreed that we would reschedule the appointment for another time. It was an inconvenience for me, but I understand that people have car troubles, particularly in the winter in New England. I called a few times the following week; no one picked up, and I was unable to leave a message, as the mailbox was full. After ultimately getting through on the phone, the owner, Rosana, disputed that she called me the day of the appointment, and is saying that she was there that day and that no one in the spa had car issues. This is clearly contrary to my experience, not to mention my phone log (the call was coming from them to me, not the other way around). She indicated that because I had called them and I had been running late on the day of the appointment (again, it was the other way around), I could reschedule for a $25 rescheduling fee. I was honestly shocked by this, given the inconvenience that they initially caused me and that they were then turning around and saying that I had been the one who had called in. I had hoped that my calls with the owner would have resolved the situation, but alas, that is not the case. I am not out any money, but was just inconvenienced and then made to feel like a liar. Again, this is very surprising to me. I hope that others have better luck with their scheduling. The other reviews on here speak for Lumiere's services themselves, which I cannot attest to, due to their car issues that they are saying never happened.

I found a good deal on Groupon for a couples massage for $72. I made an appointment a week ago. When that day came, I drove 35 mins in the snow for my appointment. When I got there, this old lady told me that I did not confirm my appointment within 24 hours so she cannot massage us. Wtf???! I told them where in the website does it say you must confirm? She then says it cost $25 to reschedule and I'm like that's BS!! She said it was company policy and tells us to leave. Wasted my time and gas. Bottom line, do not come here. Any other place would be better.
