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 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.

The owner Jessica was a super bitch earlier. Without getting into it. I just want to say that I saw a side of Jessica in a different light today. I honestly stopped going there because my nails got rushed through only to break or chip them after less than a week. And. Jessica had the nerves to tell me that she was fucking pissed for me not showing up at 6:30 when she closes at 7. I texted her to say since the salon is closed at 7, no need for me to get there and spend half an hour....with full set of dip powder. Only today, she informed me she would have stayed. Well. How about telling me that instead of cursing at me earlier. It took everything in me not to.... My birthday weekend. Her lucky day. I don't care for how I was a client. For an owner to say she was fucking pissed with me was mind boggling. I hope Jessica is reading this. As for A&V nails. Never again.

HAIR EXTENSIONS RUINED MY HAIR! As lovely as hair extensions…read morecan be for an instant change in your looks, they can also be terrible for your natural hair - to the point where you're googling "Help! Hair extensions ruined my hair!". With all that extra length and added volume comes the inevitable science that is an added weight to your scalp, which is precious and delicate already, causing major stress on your follicles from the strain of all that weight from your hair extensions - this is where hair extensions can ruin your hair. Regardless of the method used for applications tailored to each style of hair extensions that are available, hair extensions are attached to your hair - tugging at your scalp as well as your hair and because of this fact, hair extensions CAN ruin your hair but the damage can also be avoided. The tension from wearing hair extensions can lead to traction alopecia which is a type of alopecia caused from when pressure has constantly been put on the roots which has damaged your hair follicles. The most damaging factor of hair extensions is the application - if it's not done correctly by someone who is specialised in the particular type of hair extensions you're getting, you could end up with less hair than you started

My mother in law has been going here for years but it's my first time at this place. She had an…read moreappointment and I didn't have time to get to a salon for a while and she booked me an appointment here. We were pretty early so we were hanging out for a while since the lady was still finishing up her costumer before us. Nataly was my hair dresser and she was fantastic. She did my hair and ombré or balayage. Not sure which one since they look similar. She was really patient and good with her craft. She even helped me put my baby to sleep which was really nice of her. My hair came out good but it took too long cause of the amount of hair I have and everyone was tired already. She told me to come back to tone out more of the brassy parts of my hair. So I'm coming back in two days to get my hair a little bit more lighter. I can't wait!

Unfortunately, my manicure was a different story. I got cut a few times during the process, which definitely hurt, but I tried to brush it off at the time. The bigger issue came a couple days later when I noticed my fingernails didn't even match my toes anymore. Looking back at photos from the day of the appointment, it's clear the color on my nails actually changed -- you can literally see where the top coat was applied, and it turned this strange brown shade. I'm really disappointed, especially since this happened right before my vacation. I was expecting my nails to last and look consistent for more than just a day or two.
