As someone who struggles with hormonal breakouts and generally sensitive skin, a good esthetician…read moreis the cornerstone of my beauty routine. When I moved to Boston, I did my research, made some calls, and landed on Le Visage. After my first facial with Bea, I knew I made the right choice and I thank my lucky stars after every booking with her. Beatrice creates a customized experience for each of her clients, depending on the needs of their skin. She is extremely knowledgable about her craft and is genuinely invested in your journey to clearer skin. After a few months of religiously booking facials and sticking to the regime, I have seen major improvements: my cystic breakouts have subsided enormously and now she just focuses on blackheads and milia. Anytime someone asks for recommendations on skincare, I always send them to Bea and Le Visage!

When you join, you get $100 for the Equinox store (carry all major brands), and a free personal pilates session and a private PT session. I will point out they really PUSHED signing up for both after I completed my first sessions, which was annoying. I simply stated that private PT sessions are always super expensive, and on top of a gym membership would be way too much. Instead of accepting that, they pushed (in person and by email) to sign up for "just 2-3/week". I did not appreciate that in the beginning (lucky for them I was under a 1 year contract and couldn't leave just for that). They have something to offer everyone in the way of classes- pilates, cycling, yoga, running, and all types of HIIT. Absolutely loved some of the HIIT classes I took; the downfall is they have very limited times (during the week the latest class is 6:30 pm, and 5:30 pm on Friday). The popular classes get filled up FAST, within 15 minutes (you can set a reminder but if you're not available to book you're out of luck). Weekends also have very limited classes (only in the am). The gym itself is nice, lots of equipment available, pretty small floor space though and can get packed certain days/times. They do a great job of having clean sweat towels (and cool sweat towels) available and the gym is always super clean; they actually mop after each and every class, and spray down equipment. Gym, bathrooms, and showers are always very clean. Although a bit overpriced, they do offer spa services (facials, massages, etc.) and private training sessions (including for pilates). This location also offers a free steam room (other downtown location has a sauna as well), free lockers, and Kiehls products (shampoo, conditioner, body wash). I always appreciate they have little items available for after the shower- hair ties, q-tips, mouthwash, hair dryer, lotion, etc. Downstairs they have a juice bar, again with weird hours. Overall, I love the gym, just wish they offered more classes.

Super thorough, super personalized treatment, super relaxing and my skin glowed for weeks. But what makes this spa extra special is the entire experience. The personalized and friendly attention from the minute you sign in, the hot pool, the sauna and steam room, and my favorite, the waiting room with the most comfortable recliners for you to wait in peace for your service. If you're going to treat yourself, do it right. It may seem a bit more expensive than other spas in the area but it is sooooooo worth it. Left rejuvenated!

I rarely leave reviews, but this experience has been frustrating enough that I feel obligated to…read morewarn others. First, basic amenities have been consistently unavailable - lockers are broken, so you're forced to carry your belongings around, and the salt room has reportedly been out of order for months. I initially had a good facial, which is why I gave this place a chance. However, I was aggressively pushed into signing up for a membership, which I now regret. Since March 19th, I've been trying to cancel that membership due to ongoing disappointment. I completed and returned the required cancellation form, and since then I've: -Sent four emails -Called and left voicemails -Spoken to staff who promised a callback (which never happened) -Visited in person, only to be dismissed and told someone would follow up It's now been nearly a week since my last visit, and I still have received zero confirmation that my membership has been canceled. At this point, the lack of communication and follow-through is unacceptable. I strongly recommend thinking twice before signing up for a membership here.

When I tried to politely respond to her message, I received a message that my number had been blocked.

I hope that moving forward, the business is able to take my experience into consideration to better serve their future customers.

I came here last week before my dinner date for some pampering and "ME" time. Once in a while I…read morelike to treat myself something special since self-care is very important. I actually work out in this area and have seen this spa before. It's close to north end and to the water as well. Adara is actually under new ownership now- and the spa has been renovated and looks fabulous. I believe it was earlier this month that they finally opened again after changing ownership. They have some soothing water sounds coming from the entryway right when you walk in. There's also some yummy Lindt chocolate on the table for when you are craving something sweet. I was offered a drink upon arrival and everyone was really sweet. I got the Adara Signature Facial and it was a very relaxing hour. There is some extraction though...but beauty is pain right? Grace was the one who gave me my facial and my skin got so much softer after I came out from there. She used G.M. Collin products on me and basically personalized which product of that line to use when I told her my skin troubles. Everything smelled really great and I've had a bunch of facials before from everywhere I've traveled to. I usually treat myself to one since it's such a staple of a vacation. I found the experience very peaceful and quiet, no crazy noises from outside- felt like i was in my own world. I saw that they do mani/pedi's and the pedicure station LOOKS so nice!!! They have OPI and essie products from what I saw. There's also a fun swinging chair you can sit on if you happen to arrive early. I would definitely recommend since if you compare the pricing to other spas, this one is much friendlier to your wallet and experience is comparable.

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.

It was alright, a decent massage - I was hoping for something more based off the previous reviews…read more Sadly it didn't come close to that feeling of "reinvigorated". I've certainly have had experiences elsewhere with that feeling of absolute painlessness, but no, not even close here. I chose to do the deep tissue massage by the way. However where I was truly disappointed, and really what makes this review a 2, was when the masseuse finished early by a good 10 mins and then once I was fully dressed and went to the full desk. I was stopped by the masseuse and she ordered me to give a tip. I was already planning to give a tip - even with the lackluster early finishing of timing by her. She demanded a full 20 dollar tip - what a joke! I tried to settle with her at 10, but no, she was very persistent that she offered a decent service. The lack of English I can understand. But I'm astonished by the attitude of the masseuses. This'll be my first and last, visit here.

I was greeted by Doug, who makes you feel at home with a very calm and positive vibe. He then introduced me to Pablo, the star of the show. Did I say star? Rockstar is more like it. When Pablo says deep tissue, he means it. At times it felt like I had two guys working on me. He uses his thighs, knees and shin at the same time as his hands, forearms and upper arm. I don't know how he does it so flawlessly - he's like an octopus! He treated the problem areas I mentioned while connecting the work with the rest of my body. You can visualize how he makes the muscle progression. He is incredibly effective. I STRONGLY recommend Blu Day Spa and Pablo in particular if you are serious about recovery - whether it's a "formal" injury or you are just sore from everyday soreness. I'll be back for more and perhaps some old fashioned pampering as well! Absolutely

If I could give this place no stars, I certainly would. The manicure/pedicure lady, Christine, is…read morethe rudest, most awful person I've ever attempted to receive a luxury service from. I made an appointment for two manicures after purchasing the service from Groupon. Our appointments were made for 7:30pm. We showed up to the salon early, around 7:10pm. We get there to find that the salon is closed; all lights are off, but the door is open. We go inside and call a few names...no one is around, but whoever left the salon last definitely didn't lock up. I proceed to call Christine after finding her number on the website. She very rudely answers and says that our appointments were at 7pm, not 7:30. I am 200% percent positive they were for 7:30 as I checked back with my conversation with my friend. Anyway, we weren't that late for our appointment even if it was for 7pm. We never received a phone call asking if we were coming or if we were alright; nothing. Christine proceeded to tell me that they are only open until 8pm on Wednesdays and she would never schedule an appointment for 7:30pm. I said, well your sign says you are open until 7pm on Wednesdays and her response was that she decided to "stay open late for the groupon". ??????? Can someone help me understand this. I then asked if she would come back to give us the service we paid for and scheduled and she declined. Not only did she decline, but when I told her the sign says they're open until 7 and I was confused, she HUNG. UP. ON. ME. I called her back because it was obviously absurd and she told me that because we missed the appointment she did not "want us as her customers" and I demanded a refund. Thankfully, Groupon gave me a refund and I never have to go to this salon ever again.. STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went there to get my first manicure last week and instead of having a nice day and getting a relaxing manicure I ended up having my day ruined, being insulted and paying $20 for one manicure and not even getting that to its fullest (not getting the glass of wine). Christine is a very rude person and she insulted me and where I come from. If you want to know more, please read below: When Chrisitne was done doing my nails, she told me that she will give me $5 credit to my next (second) manicure. And her reason was that I one time got an appointment and cancelled less than 24 hours. I told her that I have already paid groupon $20 so if I don't come next time I have already paid $20 for one manicure (which has a base price of $15, so I overpaid her for $5), and if I decide to come next time, I have to pay $10 more for the second time, so I have paid $30 total for two manicures, which will be $15 for each manicure which is the base price for her manicures. So what good had the Groupon deal for me? She started arguing with me and shouting at me, and told me that you cancelled previous time so groupon will not pay me, and many other things....... I told her to calm down and don't shout but she kept going. She insulted me and where I come from twice saying " I don't know what country you come from....." and "This is not your country..." . She was very rude to me and I don't think I have to explain more. This was the worst experience with any salon service I have got till now!
