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.

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.

A couple weeks ago I visit SKA Scalp spa for the first time. The space is beautiful, quiet and…read morerelaxing. Overall I found the experience to be wonderful and informative, albeit expensive. I feel that our scalp health is something easily looked over and I was looking forward to treating myself to this service. First, I went over some of my concerns with my specialist and she took photos of my scalp to diagnose any issues. This area is where I deducted a star because a lot of information was being discussed and it was hard to keep track of it all. She gave me a lot of tips and recommendations and I asked if she would be able to write them down for me, but she said they would be in my file. However the file did not really include anything other than the service I was given and recommended products, but not any of the several actions she recommended a incorporate into my routine. I felt this information was a part of the steep price so I would have appreciated being able to have a chance to write it down. After this portion, we went to the spa where I received a head, neck and shoulder massage along with an array of scalp treatments. This lasted over an hour and was incredibly relaxing and worth the money alone. I did not feel it was rushed, she really look her time with each step. After this, she took another round of photos, followed by 5 minutes of red light therapy and some light blow drying. Overall I really enjoyed my experience and while I wont be going the recommended once a month due to price, I will definitely do it once in a while.

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

Rachel's beauty is one of the best places to get a facial in Boston! The one thing to note about…read morethis place is that it's a hidden gem. It's tucked away on the second floor of the building and it's a no frills. You will get a high quality facial, but this isn't like your typical high end spa place. Also, the estheticians are more comfortable speaking Chinese, but you can still have a good experience with patience. I usually come here and get the acne facial with an add-on which is usually 75-90 minutes. The facial comes with cleansing, extractions, brow touch up, mask, neck & head massage, and an LED section at the end. There are times when they will leave you in the room while your mask is setting or the LED light is on, but I don't mind it. You also get all of this for a very good price. Overall, I love Rachel and her team!
