    For some reason Boston seriously lags behind in the beauty department. It's super rare to find any business that offers sugaring, for example. I was ecstatic to find Sweet Nothing Spa. I booked my appointment with Rupa shortly after discovering her on Yelp. Rupa is punctual and responds back to texts pretty quickly. Sweet Nothing Spa is cute and more importantly, really clean! Rupa is a perfectionist when it comes to sugaring, which is much appreciated. Her shop is located downtown steps away from the orange line on State. She's on the 4th floor in the Jewelry Exchange building. Sugaring beats waxing in almost every aspect. Get with it Boston! YELP'S 2019 REVIEW CHALLENGE: #26

    Losing the chest hair!

    I've had great a experience all around with this newly opened salon. The place was clean and well set up with all new equipment. Certainly the best reason to go is that it's impossible not to love the owner. She's personable and funny, in addition to being artful about her work and taking the craft seriously. Sugaring beat waxing in my opinion so I can see why it's catching on. It left my chest in great shape, and I spent the time laughing instead of cursing. The building is one of the classic jewelry hubs from when that industry owned the area. Look for the black "Jeweler's Exchange" sign on the building. It's in the heart of Downtown Crossing, right off all the T lines, so it's hard to beat the location. I would definitely recommend giving this new salon a try!

    I have never left a review on anything before but I had been going to Sweet Nothing Spa for a couple of months and was usually content. One day I came in for my Brazilian and Full leg... the waxer let me know that my bottom half wasn't ready to wax because ( I shaved the bottom 2 weeks prior ) so I asked if the upper half was ready and she said yes. Great chat, I'm always happy with my results so I trusted that everything was fine and ordered my Uber. Right before walking out I used the bathroom and realized the upper leg that I got waxed was very patchy with leftover hair. I waited until I got home and sent a message to Rupa. The next day she responded and accused me of telling the waxer to wax my upper half even if it wasn't ready. (Why would I do that If I was okay with not doing the bottom half when she told me it wasn't ready?) So I denied and Rupa insisted that I should've waited even though I was told it was ready. She also insisted that I come in the same day even though I said I wasn't able to due to work. This continued for a while... I asked for a refund and she offered me $10 off my next wax. I don't think that's fair given that none of this was my fault. She then blocked my number and never reached back out. This was my go-to waxing place and it makes me sad that as a loyal customer she couldn't handle it better. Very unprofessional and unfortunate. I had never seen the other reviews of people also agreeing she's rude!! I hope she realizes it's only hurting her business... especially with the way she replies to reviews, why so much gaslighting? Accept your mistakes!

    My whole skin is ruined now.

    When I had my first session with Rupa, I was doubly excited because I've learned that she also came from L.

    I used the med spa part of this business. While the service itself is okay, there is no consistency…read morebetween how the procedure is done. Everyone is doing it differently, some charge you for a calming mask, some give it as a compliment to the service. I found it very confusing and frustrating. The worst is their behavior around tipping for med spa services. They blatantly and aggressively tried to get me to tip for those, literally trying to shame into paying it by loudly requesting a tip in front of everyone at the front desk, in addition to a big tablet with a tip suggestion (of 20,25 etc % expectation clearly listed) shoved in my face. This is a shady practice trying to indicate to a patient that this kind of tip is expected on a med spa procedure. Industry norms within healthcare generally favor transparent, all-inclusive pricing rather than gratuity-based compensation. This principle typically applies to services provided within medical spas, regardless of whether a specific treatment is performed by a medical provider or an esthetician. Because the service is offered under the medical spa's clinical umbrella and within a healthcare-related environment, patients reasonably expect the advertised price to reflect the full cost of care. Soliciting tips in this setting can create confusion regarding pricing, blur professional boundaries, and undermine the distinction between healthcare services and traditional hospitality services. The business acknowledges med spa separation from their day spa services. You receive multiple emails, forms to sign, etc. indicating a treatment that is treated as a procedure done under medical setting. It should be left to a patient discretion to provide a token of gratuity if they decide to do so, but in the med spa setting, there should not be expectation of the same tipping practice as for the traditional day spa services. I was very taken aback by these practices. This behavior was not present at other branches, but unfortunately those have been closed or will be closed.

    I agree with Carissa one of the reviewers. I too have been trying to get a refund for a year now…read moreand keep getting the run around. NY offices and managers are no use. Kourtnii Koontz, the manager, assured me I would have my refund check in the mail months ago. Today she won't even answer my email and when I called the NY office I was told by the manager that she works from home. It may be time to get attorneys involved and report the company to the Better Business Bureau. Meanwhile they opened a new spa in NYC!!

I have seen her regularly for about 2 years and I have experienced noticeable changes to my skin tone and elasticity--I have been receiving more compliments lately from strangers about my skin and I am woman in her mid-forties. Natalie customizes her treatments after an in-depth intake session which includes infrared imaging to pinpoint problem areas. She promotes living toxin-free as the first approach to healthy skin and recently added a line of supplements to her product offerings. Her main skincare products are from South Africa and they are the cleanest products I have ever used. Be forewarned, Natalie's services are not cheap. But if you are able to splurge a little sometimes, then Unique Verve is the only place in Boston worth spending your money on for serious skincare.
