When first visiting the spa I was very pleased with the service received when I was serviced by the…read moreowner Rupa, when rescheduling follow-up appointments I confirmed bookings with Rupa and each time (total of 3) I was assigned a different technician the day before my appointment. I found this to be very disrespectful to accept and confirm an appointment and then change the technician at the last minute. The reason given for the change is "I won't be in that early", if that's the the appointment should not have been confirmed. A schedule is provided on your website allowing a customer to choose who they would like to service them, to undue that choice is horrible customer service. Respect your clients - I will not be back.

I've been looking for a great waxer nearby but that didn't have a huuuge wait time and Liz was the…read moreperfect choice! She fit me in so quickly and also was just as quick to respond to me. I've never experienced that level of immediate attentiveness and it reminded me of texting a close friend for a spur of the moment plan that they're always down for. Liz then continued the close friends vibe in person during my wax. You always know you're going to literally expose your private parts during a Brazilian wax but Liz was so personable and sweet that I basically exposed my inner personal journey to her in like 15 minutes. That was the quickest and most comfortable wax I've ever gotten. It's been a few weeks now and I normally get ingrown hairs but she waxed so cleanly that I STILL have barely any growth *and* no ingrowns. Liz is the hair(y) godmother haha

I ended up booking with Evan because I believe Liz was unavailable, and I took her word that Evan was great too and she was! Evan was super friendly, sincere, and made the whole experience very comfortable. I had no pain whatsoever (this was for a back wax). Also, I really appreciated the affordable pricing. Done! This is now my place. I'll definitely be back--pub intended. :)

Ok now so like 15 years living in Boston and I'm still coming here. Monica is seriously my favorite…read moreperson and I'm privileged to be her friend. As such, I'm forever a loyal client. If I get my face waxed somewhere else (when she's on vacation), it's always a meh wax. If I get my hair cut somewhere else (if I'm too impulsive and go somewhere closer to where I live) , it's meh and overpriced. So I continue to come. My son also loves her and only wants her to cut his hair. Here are some hair transformations I've had within the last 2 years. The most recent was today - pink, purple, blue. Monica is patient with my crazy ideas especially since I can't make up my mind. But my hair always looks amazing. I have never gotten so many compliments on my hair until I've started to go crazy with the colors!!! Her prices for everything are more than reasonable. You won't go wrong with this lovely person!! Love you Monica!!!

My private area hairs HATE being waxed. I always end up getting ingrown hairs after a wax. I have had nothing but issues with waxing, even after visiting European Wax Center. Once upon a time I lived in Atlanta and would get waxes from Andreas, but I no longer live there. STRAVROULA, the waxer, was the absolute best. She works in the basement of a hair salon, but the wax room is clean and tidy. I told her I don't usually wax because of getting ingrown hairs. I was only getting a bikini wax, so she gave me a pair of disposable underwear. I thought that was great and professional. I told her I wanted to try the Sugar wax, as I had read about it, and wanted to try it out. She tried the sugar wax on me and the sensitive skin wax on me. She would use the different waxes for different parts of my skin. She payed attention to me, engaged in conversation and the wax did not hurt as much as I thought. The pain level was about the same with other waxes that I have had. After the wax, my skin was very bumpy and red, but within the next few hours that went away. I wanted to write a review the day I got the wax, but decided to wait because my issues usually pop up AFTER the wax with ingrown hairs, but I can say 1 week later, my extended bikini line is still bump free. I will ONLY be going to STRAVOULA and actually look forward to getting another before my next vacation. Side bar: I always HATE how people who wax you, tell you to come more often to reduce the pain and the amount of hair and I really think that is a myth and a way for the shop to make more money. At European Wax Center they always try and make you buy a package to save $X.00 over time and they wax you so fast, there is no personal touch. I feel that they only care about profits. I felt that Stravoula actually cared about my skin and wanted me to have a great experience. I do not hate EWC, but they are both near eachother and one is franchise, while the other is a small business owner who has been doing this sort of work for 20+ years. Good luck hairy gals!

The room was rinky dinky. And she had a rude tone in her voice when I genuinely asked about why she switched up the routine. I already decided before going that I was switching to a different spa, but now I am DEFINITELY switching. I guess you get what you pay for. Oh and she left leftover dried up mask product on my face after the last facial. And said she cleared up all my blackheads, when I had a whole jaw line and cheek full of them. Did she not see them under the bright light?? I don't get it. They're clearly black and white and obviously there. I'm confused, genuinely.

And thank god I listened. I felt at ease even before I stepped in the front door. The receptionist was super friendly and approachable and made sure I saw Alex, the waxing wizard id read so much about. Then came the appointment itself. They saw me same day and Alex instantly put me at ease. She distracted me from the painful parts, was a great conversationalist and made the whole experience and extremely positive one. She did a great job and I'll definitely be coming back.

I am so grateful I found Shannon and Noel Herbal Skincare! I had been commuting into Boston just to…read moreget a facial and found myself buying products and services that did nothing to improve my skin in a lasting way. It seemed the industry was ever changing more towards "medical grade" facials, something I wasn't completely onboard with, but I was so desperate to get clear skin that I tried anything to fix my issues. Then one evening I drove past this beautiful store front right in Somerville. Shannon booked me right away. She really took the time and thoughtfulness to assess my skin and give me a facial filled with love. After my first appointment she shared some beautiful wisdom with me: that I should keep a skincare routine that makes me happy, with products that make me happy. It was so simple and lovely. Since coming to Shannon for facials for the last six months, my skin has cleared up and feels healthier than it has in years. I've switched to completely organic products and have a simple skincare routine that truly does make me happy. Through Shannon's work, she has taught me that sometimes less is more, and to really treat myself with self-love. This has been such a gift. She has always gone above and beyond delivering the best treatments for me and has become a true friend.

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.
