I left feeling so relaxed and I definitely found my new favorite place. For a total of 2 hours and less than $200, I got to enjoy their steam sauna, have a body scrub, dry off in their cedar dry sauna, in addition to having my back walked on and all my tense muscles worked on. Such a great deal, I would have spent way more anywhere else and have less attention. Liu, Jen, and the other staff member were so attentive, professional and polite. The vibe in the spa was so calming. I can't wait to go back.

The service was excellent from start to finish. Everything felt very relaxing, professional, and thoughtfully done. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, exactly what you need to fully unwind. As a lovely New Year's surprise, they even gave me a bottle of wine at the end, wishing me a Happy New Year -- such a thoughtful and kind gesture that made the experience even more special. I highly recommend this place if you're in Boston or just passing through and need to relax and recharge. I will definitely be back!

The vitamin C shower is refreshing and very relaxing after sitting in the sauna. Love a cold plunge. And this is no exception.

I mentioned that I might want to cancel because it is a bit far for me to travel on a regular basis, but I wanted to see if it was worth it to prioritize into my schedule. they didn't make it clear how to cancel. I've been two more times and there's always some oils in the cold plunge tubs which makes me hesitant, but the private infrared sauna suites are amazing and 100% worth it.

UPDATED REVIEW: I want to be clear that this review is ONLY for the upper management of Encore/Spa…read moreand/or whoever is making these TERRIBLE decisions about their very best team members. I am very disgusted and upset to learn that the people I care about who work at the spa are treated like trash and discarded for selfish reasons. I had been a guest for years, returning because of the PEOPLE. You can go anywhere for luxurious amenities, but it is the people, relationships, and connections that I have built over the years with many of the team members here that I truly value and return for. The way upper management treats their employees behind closed doors is disgusting. Towards guests, it appears like they care, and in reality it is the typical corporate workplace where the employees are replaceable "nobodies" in their eyes. They use them to turn a profit, & don't value or appreciate the people behind their success. They are also not honest, which is insulting. Don't BS me when I spend thousands of dollars here and even if I didn't..don't BS me. Their LEAD aesthetician, Elisa, (who helped you get your 5 star rating from Forbes yet again this year!) is "no longer available." I was told by one person that she chose to go Columbia & she would be providing updates of her return and then someone else left me a message that she was not currently on the schedule and there was no return date at this time. I find this very interesting because I happened to run into her recently and asked about her upcoming trip. Of course I looked super ridic. when she had no idea what I was talking about. Obviously I was not told the truth. Elisa always did an exceptional job and she is a bright light in a what can be considered a sea of darkness when thinking about this world sometimes. She provided me a lot more than just spa service. When I was dealing with the worst time of my life, my Father's passing, it was extremely difficult. I was told to practice self-care and decided to try facials to help myself destress & unwind. Elisa helped provide a therapy of sorts for me that provided wellness, relaxation, peace, and a lot of kindness and compassion. Her professionalism is unmatched and her positive spirit is why I kept returning. I continuously let management know how much I loved seeing Elisa and how great she was doing. I know she was well loved by many clients especially as her sched. was always very full. She always spoke so highly of her position and how much she loved caring for her clients. Super by the book and ethical. When she was out on personal leave recently, I was so worried about her. They pretended to care when I commended them (at the time) on how they were looking out and caring for their team members. Encore unceremoniously firing their most loved employees like my host, who had been there since Day 1, and recently another day 1 host who was well loved also, to save money or whatever they think they are doing, is absolutely disgusting. I worry about all of the other team members there that I care about and talk to at every visit I go to. They are good people. It is also very uncomfortable to support an establishment that clearly has no morals, ethics, or values and does not align with how I believe we should treat people: with dignity, respect, and kindness. According to Encore Boston's own mission statement/committment, apparently Encore also doesn't align with itself either. It has become clear based on the atrocious way Encore Spa and Encore treats people that they need SERIOUS HELP. Please WAKE UP & stop treating your own people so poorly. It is disgusting and your guests don't like it. Original Review: Van is THE BEST nail tech!!!! He always does an amazing job and has the best personality. I don't see anyone else. Everyone loves him, not just me. Sometimes I don't even need to get my nails done, but I book extra services just because he's THAT good and I love catching up. Give him a raise!!
