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.

The actual spa room is just as beautiful. The calming lighting and intoxicating scents are divine:) Mariola uses all organic products and is educated about the ingredients. In my experience, it has been challenging to find estheticians who work with clean products. Everything she put on my skin smelled and felt amazing. It didn't take long for me to realize that Mariola is a true master of her craft. I enjoyed the entire experience , but my favorite part was the facial massage. I have held a lot of tension in my jaw and face and it was painful at times. As she massaged, it started to melt away. She also massaged my upper body. I felt my circulation improve and my nervous system settle as the session went on. I was glowing when I walked out of the session. Mariola's authenticity and intentionality was felt. Her way of being, along with her undeniable skill allowed for a deeply healing experience. Thank you Mariola

I found Page through Instagram and knew I had to come to see her for all things self-care and…read moreskincare. Hellooooo HydraFacial!! After my first visit, I was hooked. And I can't wait to go back after each visit. A HydraFacial is unlike any other facial. It is quick, to the point, no fluff, computer precise, and A COMPUTER controls everything! Sometimes fluff is good and all, but when it comes to time and efficiency, I'm all about getting right to the point. She followed up with an amazing mask that I even ended up purchasing during our COVID shut down so I could keep up the self-care at home. After she was able to reopen after quarantine, she did so with extra safety measures and I was happy to get another facial. She even shows you one side compared to the other during the facial so you can see how clean your face is getting. The machine is so cool and you get to see all the exfoliated and dead skin after. Sooooo satisfying!! You know that type of satisfying you get after watching those Dr. Pimple Popper videos, yes just like that. I've been using products she has recommended ever since and love that there is an online store to buy all my goodies from! To top off the whole experience, Page is personable, easy to relate to, chat with, and laugh with. Instant skincare BFF! Oh, and if you need other self-care love she specializes in brazilian and all things waxing and Page is known for her quick and efficient hard wax for hair removal. Her super cute storefront in Medford is convenient, has easy parking, and you feel right at home in this cozy, girly but not too girly, comfortable, and clean spa. Thanks, Page! Can't wait to see you again.

I purposely had a sport massage as it "targets a specific area of the body that is more vulnerable to injury or stress". At the beginning I said my left quad needed attention ('ve been in pain for about 2 weeks now). Perhaps I wasn't clear. The massage I received was a full body massage which included my upper back/shoulders where I hold a lot of tense. It was beneficial but as I understand it, it was not what I signed up for. During the massage, I asked if she would do my quads too. She did towards the end. Unfortunately I left the spa with the same pain in my left hip and quad that I walked in with. I wasn't expecting to be pain free, but I had hope for some kind of change
