I have had plenty of massages in my life, but none as amazing as Crystal. She was a delight from beginning to end. Listened carefully, prepared thoroughly, taking into account all my various conditions, etc. And her technique-perfection. I am heading back every week - you should too! read more

Excellent facial and deep body massage. Crystal was knowledgeable, friendly, professional and effective. I recommend C-Spa highly.

Best massage I've ever had - and it's not a particularly short list. Crystal did the work to figure out where my problem areas were, asking extensive questions beforehand and even evaluating my posture (and noticing an old ankle injury just by looking). She did a great job figuring out what I needed, and I walked out so much more relaxed and feeling great. I ended up here from a gift card, but I will certainly be back - soon. Don't be thrown off by the location - it's in an older office-type building, but once you're inside it is lovely. read more

I went in yesterday because i felt like my pores needed some professional help getting cleaned out. I went in expecting they will also exfoliate my skin and hydrate it after. Mercedes really took the time to understand my skin which is not easy considering it's dry with a few cystic acne bumps. Its also sensitive. I have a very hard time exfoliating it. Personally i have never been successful doing it myself. She did an A+ job with my skin. I was GLOWING afterwards. My skin is not irritated at all. No red patches. Its soooo soft and exfoliated. Pores look smaller. Skin looks so healthy and even. And super hydrated. I am definitely coming back in a few months!! Loved the whole experience and the end result read more

I recently bought two coupme deals for C. spa and used the opportunity to get both a therapeutic facial and a swedish massage at C. spa. Crystal was great about getting me in quickly and allowing me to do both in one visit. The massage was excellent - Crystal has truly fantastic hands! I REALLY want to go back for a deep tissue massage, since I like lots of pressure ;) hint, hint for those of you buying me presents... This was my first facial ever, and I appreciated how knowledgeable Crystal was about skin. She carefully explained the process before we started, and then went into detail about the products used during each segment of the facial. I left feeling relaxed and with incredibly smooth soft skin! Loved it! read more

Crystal was great and made sure I had the best experience possible while getting my first facial. I'd absolutely recommend!

I went in not knowing exactly what I needed just knew my skin didn't feel great. Crystal did a great job analyzing and helping me understand my skin. I got a facial and each step she explained to me, helping me understand why she was using certain products and how they were beneficial for me. My skin felt very soft and refreshed instantly. I felt very relaxed and confident with Crystals knowledge. Can't wait to go back. read more

As a guy looking for some fast friendly and affordable spa services without all the pretense, I was happy to discover Crystal's spa and in a great location to boot. I've enjoyed the spa at the W, but then again - you pay top dollar for services there as well, and sometimes I don't have the spare time to enjoy the extras in the locker areas, so when I'm just looking for something a bit more affordable that easily fits my busy schedule, visiting C Spa was the perfect find. I also made my booking online, and it all went off perfect without a hitch - always a nice feature! read more

Is there a 6-star option?... I visited C Spa because of the great reviews here and the convenience of location. I am so glad I did and even though I had high expectations, they were still exceeded. I signed up for a therapeutic facial but once the process started, decided to upgrade to a more deep facial. Crystal is very professional and takes the time to know you as a customer. She is also just fun and nice to talk to during the procedure. We even exchanged business cards to keep in touch about conversations we had. I was especially impressed that she inspected every bottle of her products for any oils which may cause me an allergic reaction, because I have a nut allergy and many skin products use almond oil or macadamia nuts. If you have an allergy, know that she will accommodate it safely. She knows her stuff about skin care and is thorough. She is willing to offer advice without pushing a product on you. She even explained the reasons why my previous aestheticism probably took the approach she did. Overall I could not ask for a better experience and will certainly be back. read more

I needed a quick facial fix during a business trip in Boston and after a quick scan of Yelp, C Spa was a no-brainer. I was not disappointed! Crystal was so thorough, knowledgeable, and personable, and my skin looked great for days after just a 30 minute treatment. I know I will be back anytime I'm even close to the area again. I sincerely hope they open a location in NYC! read more

I've been to Crystal a few times now for facials and cannot say enough great things about her. First, and most importantly, she knows what to recommend for my skin. Which is hard to find! Every time I leave her my skin is even better and I can feel and see the improvements. She is also very accommodating to schedules and making appointments is easy and painless. The spa is in a great location and very easy to get to. Crystal also sells exceptional products. She clearly tests them all herself before she recommends them and I have been more than pleased with all of the ones she has recommended for me. I had been searching for great skin care products and after a lot of time and money, she has introduced me to the best ones! Some of the products she did not have on-hand at the spa, but were delivered to my doorstep two days later...very convenient! I highly recommend seeing Crystal for a facial or a massage. She is very talented and her services are customizable, which, to me, is the most important. And, again, it is very hard to find those two things at most spas. She also does threading...an added bonus for those of us who prefer threading over waxing! Book yourself a service with Crystal and you'll see what a great facial and massage can do!! read more

I cannot thank Crystal enough for her work today. Similar to other reviews, Crystal was thorough, insightful, attentive and dedicated. I felt like I was her one and only concern for two hours. I have never received Myofascial Release and it was exactly what I needed for the severe neck pain I have been experiencing. Crystal could read my body, where and how and why tension might be held in certain places, and what to work on just by assessing my posture. She always told me what she was doing and what to expect so I was prepared. Even though the work is much more intense than a massage, I didn't want to leave. I recommend Crystal to anyone and everyone and I will definitely be back. read more

C. Spa came into my life as a big skin urgency. I break out in acne after waxing and threading my perfect skin. I had ingrown hairs and follicle problems for over a year and Crystal healed most of it after just one session. The spa is very well located, clean and private but the best of all is Crystal knowledge about the skin and how she performs her job. She will even go extra time of her schedule to give you extra treatment. I REALLY recommend her. Professional, knowledgeable and well priced. read more

I got a gift card to Spa Finder for the holidays and found C Spa on Yelp. Couldn't have had a better experience! Crystal is a magician! Just by looking at how I stand she knew I carried my work bag on my left shoulder. I got a 60 min massage and it was by far the best massage I've ever had. The Spa is super clean and in a great location right on Boylston Street. Crystal informed me that her clients are 50% male and I can see why because the Spa has no fru fru. I would HIGHLY recommend going here. You won't regret it! read more

Crystal is amazing! Very knowledgeable and thorough! I've had a few facials with her, and all were great experiences. The spa is super clean and relaxing. The measures Crystal is taking to ensure safety are above and beyond. She explains all safety implementations prior to starting treatment. The care is very personalized to your needs, and the suggestions on a good, personalized skin care routine to follow have been spot on. My skin has never looked and felt better! Highly recommend! read more

Writing another review because I have been coming to C Spa consistently for 6 years now and it is still a wonderful experience. Crystal is extremely knowledgable and stays up to date on the latest techniques and tools to make everything easy for her clients. I could not possibly recommend her more than I do now. read more

This was honestly one of the best facials I've ever had! I get facials often for some adult acne and was extremely impressed with Crystal's work. The price was incredible as I had a coupon but moving forward, it may be a tad out of my price range. The services are definitely worth it though. That being said, if I am in need of a good facial with someone who truly understands skin and shares great skin care advice to her customers, I would still trek out to the Copley area from Somerville. read more

I've had waxing done for the past 8 years in Canada and the US. Hands down C Spa was the best experience I've had! I just got home from my appointment and can't wait to book a fascia massage. C Spa's location is central and completely safe (Beacon Street near MIT Mass. Ave. bridge). The business is easy to find and in case you need a little help signs are posted on the front of the building. Parking is easy to find. The space is clean, inviting and privacy has been made a priority. Crystal's demeanour had me instantly relaxed and she was on time for the appointment. She was professional and very experienced. Whether you want to talk or stay silent during the course of your service, Crystal is respectful. Love the space, the owner! and the thorough, leave no wax behind wax job. Hands down five stars! well worth it. read more

What a great little spa! The owner, Crystal, was so welcoming, professional, and she is knowledgable with sports massage. She knew I was a runner and really worked my IT band. When I went for my run the next morning, I felt like a new person! It's amazing what a massage can do! I will definitely be back. read more

Crystal is great! I have been going to her for facials since Fall 2012 and I love her work. My face was absolutely smooth after my first session with her. Because my face reacted well to her facials, I decided to purchase the Sella line of facial products (that she recommended). I love the products as I see my dark spots diminishing and my face feels good. My face is brighter as well. Crystal knows her industry and has a wealth of information. She truly believes in treating her customers right. She gave me a foot massage and it was heaven! I'm telling you - give her a try! (smile) read more

I was visiting Boston for spring break, and decided that all that walking deserves a massage. I checked Yelp for a massage recommendation, and came up with C Spa. Crystal is amazing! I booked another massage two days later- it was that good! read more

I've had many massages in my life, but NONE better than Crystal's. She is absolutely incredible and very kind and accommodating; I once called for an appointment and after hearing the stress in my voice over my neck/back pain, she stayed open an hour later the next day to fit me in. You will leave feeling like a new person! read more

Was visiting from out of town and came in for a 90 minute massage to remove the knots from traveling. Really appreciated the thoroughness and care I was given from Crystal. Left feeling a lot more relaxed. Would definitely recommend. read more

Best facial I have ever had. I have gone to many different spas (including the Mandarin Oriental and Exhale). I love Crystals firm touch and meticulous technique. I was relaxed the whole time and never felt neglected. My face feel so clean and rejuvenated after. I highly recommend her. read more

I am a pretty picky person when it comes to spa treatments. I frequent many of the high-end spas in the Newbury Street area and so my expectation is pretty up there. So when I say that Crystal at C.Spa is great, it is no exaggeration! The space is small but cozy and once you are on the table for either a facial or massage, you will be in for a treatment that will rival any of those high-end places. Crystal is very knowledgeable and she is happy to share regimens with you that don't include buying a ton of products, though she does carry a very good line of skin care products. A tip: take public transportation there. Parking can be a bit tricky over there but it is super convenient by train and even more if you live in the area. read more

Crystal is fantastic. I had a massage and facial. Crystal is the only esthetician at the spa, so you have the place to yourself when you're there. She asks detailed questions at the beginning to make sure you get you want. Both the massage and facial exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend C Spa and plan to return. read more

Crystal is an incredible esthetician. I went to C.Spa for a 60 min custom facial and it was the most wonderful experience. Crystal was incredibly professional and made me feel very comfortable. She asked thoroughly about my skin history/skincare regimen, explained every step of the facial process and gave me a wealth of knowledge about my own skin + suggestions moving forward. I cannot recommend her enough and I can't wait to go back to C.Spa in the future. read more

I have been seeing Crystal for 1.5 yrs now for waxing my face brows and other areas. After having the best waxing in my life I decided to have a 90 minute facial which I hadn't had in many years. This was also a wonderful experience. Well worth the money spent and my skin was so radiant after!!! Crystal is a very dedicated professional and I wouldn't go anywhere else for these services. I am moving at the end of this month but will still keep going to see Crystal for my services even if it means commuting in an hour. read more

Best facial I've ever gotten! Crystal was professional, attentive, and made me feel relaxed. I have gotten many facials at other spas (with a much higher price tag) but I can say that my experience at C.Spa was much better than at some other places. Usually after I get a facial my face is red and irritated, but when I left C.Spa my skin looked fresh and healthy and has looked great since. I can't wait to go back! read more

Crystal was AMAZING! Best deep tissue massage I've ever received. She is very knowledgable and professional. I would highly recommend. I will definitely be back! read more
