Her attention to detail is phenomenal and she truly loves her work. I started with some waxing and now she has moved me along with such care into complete waxing:) I look to her as a Master aesthetician as she clearly stands strong and stable in a career that can most definitely be challenging.. as her client and also an Advanced esthetician and instructor myself. I am so proud to be one of her ongoing clients.

I hate to give bad reviews but I have had quite a few not so great experiences at this location…read more The front desk staff are hit and miss but multiple times I have witnessed pretty unprofessional behavior (bad mouthing their team in the hallways while we can hear them in the wax room, gossiping at the front desk). In addition, this last visit was the worst. I got a huge burn on my face. I thought it would die down after the first night but it looks pretty bad now and I've had to go into work for big presentations trying to cover this up. I've had burns before but this is by far the worst.

I honestly found the staff very friendly and kind the woman who did the treatment was especially…read morenice. However, I feel the HydraFacial was overpriced for what you actually receive. The treatment only included the pen and red light therapy. There was no deep cleansing or exfoliation before using the pen, and they did not extract or clean pimples. In other places I've been to, those steps are included, so this felt incomplete. I used a $250 birthday gift card, the HydraFacial costs $200, and the $50 tip was mandatory -- which didn't feel appropriate given the limited service. it's overprice.

Amazing massage!!…read more The people here are so nice, friendly and helpful - they go above and beyond. You would never expect to find this serene, pleasant and awesome salon in a tiny storefront on Washington Street. But it's there and it's great!! Although I had requested an hour and a half massage, I only got a 1 hour one, but they only charged me for that, so no big deal. My masseuse was so accommodating and thorough - definitely one of the best massages I've had!

Stopped in here with the lady on a walk-in and was serviced by Fanny!…read more She was quick, professional and did exactly what my lady requested. I also got a pedi clean up and a quick clear coat simple. I had a couple hang nails that were annoying me and she cleaned them all up for me. I don't know much about nails, but the experience was good. Cost came out to be about 80 bucks for the two of us. My lady got gel, chrome, nails something like that haha her pictures can tell you better.

Today was what I call "maintenance day" and decided I wanted to get my nails done. We were in the…read morearea and figured why not try Wild Orchids! Wild Orchids is a Chinese nail salon, located in Westwood. This was actually my first time getting my nails done at a Chinese-owned salon, in the US. I am Chinese myself, and felt comfort hearing some Chinese tunes playing. I felt at home honestly and wondered to myself why I haven't gone this place sooner. Today, I decided to get a chrome gel manicure, no acrylic extensions. Lol, also the first time I opted for no nail extensions & did natural nails. My nail tech was Fanny, who was very kind and did a great job! My nails came out exactly how I wanted them to ;). I asked for two coats of OPI Funny Bunny, one coat OPI Bubble Bath, + chrome finish. The nail salon was super clean. The tools used are all sterilized well. I consider their prices pretty fair, compared to other nail salons I have been to in the city. I would come back again and recommend coming here if you're around in the area!

I've been coming to Daniela's for years now and it all started when I found her on Groupon for an…read moreultrasonic facial. I literally cannot rave about this place enough. She is super friendly and personable and really listens to her clients and quite frankly that is really hard to find now a days because all these other estheticians want is your money rather than loyalty. The moment you walk in the environment is super clean and neat, which is super important in the beauty industry. I love the decor in this place. Daniela is so sweet and passionate about what she does. You can definitely rely on her when it comes to what she thinks your skin needs without pressuring you into upgrading or purchasing anything. P.S- ask for the blueberry enzyme - a little tingly but does the job and makes your skin feel amazing! Daniela and I can converse for hours about literally anything haha but if you need your me time she can do that as well. We talk all the time, but I still feel relaxed. She has some of the best prices around here-including Boston area. And to be honest, she is worth way more than what she is charging already. I highly recommend getting the package deals she offers. Plus, if you purchase another package before your 1st package is over you get a complimentary facial!! (100% worth it) Super easy to get to this place. I use to live in Brookline and now I moved to Malden and still drive 45 minutes to an hour to get here. There are plenty of estheticians in my area and in Boston that I pass by to get here, but I one thousand percent choose her any day! I literally leave this place glowing and feeling like a brand new person. She does wonders to my skin! Plenty of street parking and public transportation drops you off a couple stores down. I brought my boyfriend here recently and he wants to make it a commitment to come back once a month together. That was his first time getting a facial and he is hooked. Daniela gets booked pretty quickly, especially on the weekends so I would suggest booking as soon as you leave. Or you can easily shoot her a text. She is super quick at responding. Keep in mind that she is the only one running the show here so the door will be closed until she is finished with her previous client.

In this day and age, where there's information overload out there and 1000 different things that…read morecould potentially be beneficial, you need to see Vera to get your skin care situated. Even if you have extremely sensitive skin , clogged skin, combination skin... Vera truly customizes your skin care. Though you would never know it by her youthful appearance, she has had likely several decades of experience. She offers customized Dr. Hauschka facials ( a rare find) as well as SkinCeuticals. She only uses top-notch ingredients so you know you're getting the best. Her techniques with application, education, and massage are unmatchable. Not only is my skin revitalize and refreshed after a facial from her, but I feel incredibly relaxed and peaceful. She is happy to talk through what she is doing in case you have any concerns. You can be confident in her care as she wants the best for her clients. She is happy to answer your questions, look at the products you're currently using, and provide the best information for your at home skin care. While she does know about all of the newest treatments and advances, her training is also deeply rooted in an old-school science that can't be replaced by trends. We are truly blessed to have her in this area. Nowadays, facials are being advertised with an in and out, systematic fashion--even equipment that can replace human contact. Don't buy into this and it's also more expensive! It is not better for your skin to have a hydro facial than it is to have an extremely experienced aesthetician working in depth and detail (and on every pore) on your face. Since I've been having facials from Vera for almost 4 years now, my skin has never looked so healthy. I'm 41 and I feel my skin is healthier than it was 10 years ago. I often get compliments on my skin and complexion and I know that I owe that thanks to Vera for being so dedicated to getting my skin healthy, unclogged, and truly as hydrated and glowing as possible. She truly knows what's best for your skin and has unmatchable scientific understanding, techniques and advice.
