Offer the hard wax and now I am hooked. Use to get my brows and lips done at a threading salon. It was painful and my skin was itchy and red. Going to Mia is so much better and not painful. Plus I like our conversations. So glad I found her at Skin and Body Works.

I cannot say enough good things about Shannon and her business, Noel Herbal Skincare…read more I had my first facial with her over the summer and it was by far one of the most relaxing and effective facials I've ever had. As a person, Shannon is a true professional and is an expert when it comes to skincare and using natural products to promote wellness. She has such a gentle, calming spirit, and you feel at ease as soon as you are in her presence. When I visited Shannon, I received the Moon Facial, which was very restorative and left my skin feeling beautiful. It involves extractions and steam, but in the most gentle way possible. I'm personally pretty sensitive to steam, so I asked Shannon if it could be lowered and she immediately took care of it and was great about checking in during the whole process to make sure I was comfortable. The products she used didn't irritate my skin at all and really made a difference. My mom has also visited Shannon for facials many times, and tells me that her "happy place" is being at Noel Herbal Skincare, receiving the most amazing facial. I completely agree. Cheers to many more visits to the happy place.

All the products felt so good on my skin. When masks were sitting on my face Shannon did neck, shoulder and arm massages. I used the restroom when I was done and I was shocked when I looked in the mirror. My skin looked so healthy. A few months ago I did a hydro facial and my skin did not look like this when I left. Going forward I am going to skip those spa's and do a facial with Shannon.

Let me tell you why. 1) She genuinely cares about her work and her customers. It shines through in everything she does. Her space is well organized, cozy and welcoming, and her products are really tempting (and if I didn't already use the best skincare line out there for me, I'd buy whatever she recommended). 2) She takes her time getting to know you and your current routines, and what your skin needs. Everyone's skin is different, and my own skin changes a lot depending on time of year, stress, and age. She takes everything into account and customizes my facials to what I need that day. 3) Her prices are all inclusive - no tipping needed. That is so refreshing, and takes a lot of pressure off of me as a client. I highly recommend her, if you can get a spot!

The wax she uses is gentle, her manner is gentle, she is meticulous, and she just "gets it". By that, I mean that she understands that one shape of eyebrow does not work for all. She makes sure that the shape works for you, that it looks natural. Also, she only uses natural products - you can actually understand the ingredients list and aren't afraid to put them on your skin! The products really work well and make my skin look & feel great. She takes the time to talk with and listen to you, your needs, your concerns, and is really knowledgable about her field & her product lines. She works *with* you so you get the best services and products for your skin. Highly recommend her!

I'm glad to find Isabel through Yelp and had been coming to Isabel for my haircuts ever since I…read morerelocated to Boston last summer. The shop is small and only has Isabel as a stylist (or you can see Anita for threading or waxing, too --the two ladies share the workspace), so I would recommend calling or making appointment ahead of time to avoid not getting seen/disappointment. Isabel is kind and is a great conversationalist. It's great caching up with her about life. She does remember her clients as well (I know this because she mentioned specific info about me everytime I stopped by!). She even remembered roughly the last time I stopped by her salon too! Prices are really reasonable for a haircut (she does shampoo my har before the cut, too). I know she also offers coloring too but I've never done that yet with her. Overall, highly recommend Isabel and I plan to continue going to see her as long as I live/ remain in the Boston area.

If you are looking for someone who truly understands the body and healing, who is trained in…read morelymphatic drainage, who understands and works with patients struggling with lymphedema or other swelling-related issues, you have found your person. You must go to Cheryl. I had major surgery this year (one of them being over 12 hours long!!) and was dealing with a lot of (inevitable) swelling. I also, related to issues with TMJ and bad posture (partially due to jaw issues), have had chronic and fairly severe shoulder pain. Forever. In one of the surgery recovery FB groups I'm in, I came across a number of people touting the benefits of lymphatic drainage/lymphatic massage. Since I was willing to try just about anything, I looked into it. After reading about a zillion reviews, I settled on calling up Cheryl. She was super responsive and we set up our first appointment. Now fast forward almost five months - I'm still with her and the results have been incredible. Indeed, after only the first few sessions, my surgeon commented on how amazed he was at how fast my swelling had come been resolving. I know it was due to Cheryl. We are now trying rolfing to better help my shoulder and I can already feel a difference. Cheryl listens to what's going on and makes suggestions and a treatment plan based on those concerns, along with the things she detects as she goes along. She knows a ton about the body (putting basically every other massage therapist I've ever seen to absolute shame). She even came to my house a week after surgery to do a massage on my bed, when I was absolutely miserable and unable to leave the house. She would have come to see me at the hospital, too. She follows up and remembers everything we've been working on. She is fantastic. She also spends an incredible amount of time with me - more than she really should, given how much I pay her. But she's clearly a perfectionist and cannot let you leave until she's gone through and worked on all the things that need work. As I've spent time with her, I've learned about the many clients she's had (and continues to have) who have come to her with serious (and awful) issues around swelling, lymphedema being chief among them. These people have stayed with her *for years and years* because of the help she has provided them. (it's not her fault - lymphedema is the kind of thing that requires constant vigilance and thus repeated professional treatment). She has changed lives - truly. On top of all this she is just a great person. And her dog Bella is absolutely the most adorable little thing you've ever seen. Oh! And she also does more regular massage and facial/face massage, all of which I've also been able to enjoy as the needs around my surgery have lessened. In short: Cheryl is absolutely the best. She's worked at all the fanciest spas in Boston, even worked on celebrities (the stories about which are super fun to hear), and now runs her own practice that means the rest of us can see her. I 100% recommend!
