My friend went to Holiday religiously before she moved. To be frank, I was always skeptical of aestheticians and natural skin remedies, etc., so I never got around to booking an appointment. About a year later, when Holiday welcomed Lindsay to the team, I decided to go in, get my brows shaped and tinted and my lashes lifted and tinted. All I can say is that my friend's hype was 100% warranted. From the moment I arrived to this day (because Catherine so kindly and promptly answers the barrage of questions I send to her), the team at Holiday made me feel relaxed and welcome and beautiful (and the absolutely ethereal atmosphere really helped with all of that). I don't like wearing makeup and I was SHOCKED at the difference the lash lift and tint made; my eyes looked bigger and I looked more awake! Catherine and Lindsay carefully assessed my lashes and ensured that each individual lash got the attention it needed. Since my appointment with Holiday, I haven't worn makeup a single day. Before my appointment I was self conscious about not wearing makeup (I thought I looked too young and too tired). I have struggle with my appearance since primary school and more often than not find myself fixated on the negative features I have. I was astounded how the tiniest of changes (that by the way look so natural and effortless) boosted my self-esteem. While I love my lashes and brows natural, the women of Holiday helped tidy them and teach me how to care for them in way that enhances their beauty. I have gone for facials where technicians have told me that my eyebrows are "too thick" or "too bushy" and tried to wax or pluck them after I asked that they leave my brows be. Catherine and Lindsay consulted me through the process. They told me that they loved my thick, apparently very symmetrical brows. If they weren't sure about a hair (oh yes, they tidy your brows hair by hair to preserve all the natural glory that is your eyebrow), they handed me a mirror and asked me. I left Holiday in a state of euphoria not really because of my lashes and brows (which I did love) but because I spend about an hour and half in comfortable place, with caring, kind, and professional women who truly made me feel beautiful and accepted. I am introverted. I have anxiety. Both these things make me not like beauty services that involve strangers touching me. When I walked through Holiday's door I felt like I was on vacation with my friends. Catherine even covered me in a blanket in a case the AC was too cold (how sweet)! I am not one to advocate that people need services to beautify themselves, but what I will advocate for is the experience that comes with a Holiday appointment. It's a quiet, peaceful time surrounded by genuinely wonderful women in such a bright and positive atmosphere. While waxing, tinting, and the other wonderful services Holiday may be temporary pleasures, the time you spend being pampered and cared for by Catherine and her team will last with you. Literally after one appointment with her, this skeptic has now made a line item in her monthly budget for Holiday appointments. If this review doesn't prove it, I'm completely sold! read more

Catherine has completely changed my life with her immense knowledge and talent in skincare and facials. I have struggled with acne recently and since I have been getting regular facials with her my skin has drastically improved in every way. She has addressed all of my skin care concerns and educated me about how to improve the issues I am having now and prevent other issues in the future. She has shown me how to make an effective home skincare routine with products that are organic and vegan and therefore much better for your skin and the environment. She never pushes expensive and unnecessary products on you, she is very honest with me and I have learned so much from her! Cannot recommend her facials enough! On top of her overwhelming knowledge of skincare, she is so friendly and welcoming. Her salon is so beautifully decorated which really emphasizes her zen vibes. I truly look forward to every appointment with her! read more

Holiday was the first place I tried out after moving to Boston for my Brazilian waxes, and over a year later I'm still going! Catherine is the sweetest and I always have a great time chatting with her during my appointments. It also helps the time pass and the experience much more pleasant! The space is so wonderfully decorated and calming. Catherine offers great advice on what to do and which products to use to help combat things such as ingrown hairs and other trouble areas. Catherine pays attention to detail and it's awesome. She goes above and beyond for her clients. One time she got my appointment time mixed up and offered me some complimentary champagne while I waited which was of course MUCH appreciated!! I love coming here and plan on adding more services with Catherine down the road! read more

I really cannot rave enough about this spot. Catherine has the most beautiful studio in the city; it's bright, inviting, immaculately clean and, of course, #aestheticgoals. My brows have never looked better after her wax and tint. She's given my lashes the most beautiful lifts and they really do last for well over two months. She's always been so accommodating when I've dragged friends with me to appointments and I really love how much she supports other female entrepreneurs. I've since moved out of Boston but I have yet to find a place as warm and welcoming and someone as sweet, dedicated, and talented as Catherine. read more

The spa is a very relaxing place to visit and the surrounding environment promotes a tranquil feeling. I was impressed with the way Stephani conducted herself with such professionalism.. Being a guy, I really didn't think about ever having a need for a facial, but it was a little nudge from my wife that convinced me to try one. It was a little awkward at first, but Stephani was kind and understanding. I would highly recommend any guy that has been thinking about having a facial or is being nudged by a special person in their life to try it. I would highly recommend Stephani as your first experience. read more

I had a couture facial with deep relaxation - it was AMAZING. The space is beautiful, inviting and relaxing. Catherine is super warm and friendly. She listened to my skin concerns and addressed them during the facial and gave me advice for at home care. Throughout the facial, she let me know what she was applying. While the masks, serums, and lotions were working their magic, Catherine pampered my neck, shoulders, arms and hands with a massage. There was also ample facial massage. My facial was a super relaxing experience and my skin looks phenomenal. read more
