What a disappointing experience. The front desk ladies are so kind and welcoming, so I was really…read morelooking forward to my manicure to celebrate finishing college. The technician was very thorough and it looked great...for about half a day. It began chipping away the same day, and maybe that's because I didn't get a gel manicure? I am not even remotely familiar with nail jargon, but I followed all the instructions from the technician and made sure to let them dry. Decently priced, but I'll spend $30 somewhere else. It's really unfortunate, because I believed MiniLuxe had such good potential and I was always intrigued whenever I walked past, but now I need a manicure that'll last more than three days so I am ready for college graduation. :(

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.

This spa has a great vibe, friendly staff, and cozy and comfortable rooms…read more Unfortunately I am not leaving a 5 star review because while I did get a quality massage, the area I wanted to focus on received minimal attention. 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

I recently saw Luis for a Brazilian (Manzilion? Nah, Brazilian is gender inclusive enough I think)…read more I generally think of a Brazilian as removing all the hair in the area, but in this case I wanted to keep some hair above for a somewhat more natural, masculine look. In any case, this is the only the second time I've had waxing done and I absolutely wanted Luis to do the work, and I'll explain why: First of all Luis was thorough and professional in explaining the options and procedure in advance, and made sure I was completely informed and comfortable with the process. Second, the environment he works in is great. High ceilings, lots of natural light, homey and comfortable. Also I like that he is a sole practitioner so it's completely private. This was especially important to me the first time I went to him since it's such an intimate procedure. He immediately made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Third, he did a great job! Thorough and artful. Exactly what I was hoping for. If this is your first time getting waxed you should know, yes, it looks great, but even better is the results feel amazing - so superior to shaving. Super smooth and more sensitive. Even when the hair grows back no stubble, which I find very uncomfortable. Anyway, if you're thinking about it do it, and have Luis do the job. The experience and results are amazing.

She is very gentle on your natural lashes and there is never a lash out of place. I personally love a wispy light volume cat eye style lash and she nails it every time. I always look forward to getting my lashes done at Eye Lush. I wouldn't go anywhere else for extensions! When reopening last summer, once Covid-19 restrictions allowed so, they maintained their calm and relaxing atmosphere while ensuring the safety and comfort of everyone. Booking an appointment online through their website, even for same day, is very easy. If you are looking to wake up every morning already put together and feeling glamorous, I would definitely recommend making an appointment with Katie for some beautiful new lashes!

The rates seem reasonable to me and they take the time to do the work well, but they're also quite efficient. I've never had to wait past my appointment time and despite having a fair amount of waxing done I'm usually out of there in half an hour. They are on the sixth floor of their building and coming and going feels very anonymous. Probably not important to most people, but if you want to wax on the DL that's another reason to go, LOL. Seriously, they're great at what they do and I recommend them highly.

I had eyebrows, upper and lower lip, and chin done last Sunday. The technician had a nice demeanor,…read morebut her technique left me with sores (that soon turned into scabs) on my lower lip and eyebrow area. Instead of using a single swift pull, this technician (Sheila) used a series of small pulls, which I believe led to the sores. But I'm not sure about that. What I can say is that I'm in my mid-50s, have been waxing for decades, and have never been left with sores/scabs. So this issue is distinct to this visit to EWC in Brookline, MA (and I've been to several others in the area). Additionally troubling is that I wrote a note to EWC stating the above to no avail, even offering to send them photos that I'd taken. Not only did no one contact me, I know they received my complaint because I got a follow-up survey inquiring as to my satisfaction regarding the efficacy of their follow-up. Incredible! You can't make this stuff up. I've even checked Junk, thinking "surely not, surely *someone* would have written back; maybe it went into the Spam folder." Nope. Non. Nada. Anyway, the woman at the front desk was lovely, friendly, chatty, and very welcoming. Despite that, unless I want more scabs, returning to this EWC seems unwise and so I won't.
