I got a facial and massage my first time there and have been hooked ever since. I get regular hydrafacials here and started laser hair removal too. The hydrafacials have really transformed my skin. I love them and always leave there glowing. The laser treatments have been going well so far - I wouldn't call them fun or relaxing by any means but they're effective! The staff here has always been super lovely. My usually aesthetician moved this year so I started going to new people (I can't remember their names) but they're also lovely. I'll also note that spa treatments are not cheap but skin spa ALWAYS has a deal going on so you can get good discounts and once you purchase a service, it doesn't expire. I love them.

Everyone is doing it differently, some charge you for a calming mask, some give it as a compliment to the service. I found it very confusing and frustrating. The worst is their behavior around tipping for med spa services. They blatantly and aggressively tried to get me to tip for those, literally trying to shame into paying it by loudly requesting a tip in front of everyone at the front desk, in addition to a big tablet with a tip suggestion (of 20,25 etc % expectation clearly listed) shoved in my face. This is a shady practice trying to indicate to a patient that this kind of tip is expected on a med spa procedure. Industry norms within healthcare generally favor transparent, all-inclusive pricing rather than gratuity-based compensation. This principle typically applies to services provided within medical spas, regardless of whether a specific treatment is performed by a medical provider or an esthetician. Because the service is offered under the medical spa's clinical umbrella and within a healthcare-related environment, patients reasonably expect the advertised price to reflect the full cost of care. Soliciting tips in this setting can create confusion regarding pricing, blur professional boundaries, and undermine the distinction between healthcare services and traditional hospitality services. The business acknowledges med spa separation from their day spa services. You receive multiple emails, forms to sign, etc. indicating a treatment that is treated as a procedure done under medical setting. It should be left to a patient discretion to provide a token of gratuity if they decide to do so, but in the med spa setting, there should not be expectation of the same tipping practice as for the traditional day spa services. I was very taken aback by these practices. This behavior was not present at other branches, but unfortunately those have been closed or will be closed.

She is one of the few skincare providers who not only devises a science-based, customized, long-term treatment plan, she keeps in contact with you between treatments, adjusts your prescribed products accordingly, and utilizes the latest technology in skincare (think Clear & Brilliant laser followed by a concoction of glutathione and vitamins infused into the skin, followed by micro needling). There is no provider in the Boston area, let alone in the Northeast, who is as diligent with continuing education (she's a national educator, herself), nor as innovative with her treatments. The ultimate outcome of creating a long-term relationship with Alexis is flawless skin, guaranteed. Take it from someone who spent upwards of $15,000 (!) on skincare prior, yet still couldn't fathom leaving my house without a full face of makeup. It took three months of adhering to my Alexis-prescribed protocol coupled with in-office visits to attain what I and others describe as "perfect" skin. Investing and trusting in Alexis has not only made me confident and radiant on the outside; the amount of time I spend putting on makeup has gone from 40 minutes to *maybe* five minutes. That's at least four more hours in my week to focus on what matters. Thank you Alexis for making what I thought was impossible, a reality. I am forever grateful.

Make no mistake, it's an investment of time, care, and $$ for your face, but if you make the effort, it will show. I care more about my regimen than I ever have, yet my regimen is simple and straightforward (cleanser, serum, moisturizer, and a retinoid at night). Alxs really helped me clean up my act and it shows.

I recently had the pleasure of getting a full set of lash extensions at Pretty Chic's new location, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results! From the moment I walked in, the experience was top-notch. The suite itself was clean, inviting, and had a relaxing atmosphere that put me at ease right away. My lash technician, Mei, no was incredibly professional and skilled. She took the time to understand exactly what look I was aiming for and explained the entire process to me, which was very reassuring as it was my first time getting lash extensions. She was meticulous in her work, ensuring each lash was perfectly placed, and the end result was stunning! The lashes look incredibly natural yet glamorous, adding just the right amount of volume and length. They have completely transformed my eyes and have made my morning routine so much quicker - no more fiddling with mascara! The best part is they are comfortable and lightweight; I hardly notice I'm wearing them. I also appreciate the aftercare advice that Mei provided. She gave me clear instructions on how to take care of my new lashes to ensure they last as long as possible. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience at Pretty Chic. If you're considering getting lash extensions, I highly recommend paying them a visit. It's worth every penny for the confidence boost and the amazing lashes! I've already pre-booked my next fill :) read more

Had powder brows done. They came out horrible. Wrong color and shape and patches were missed. I went back the next day to settle this to get the right color and shape, it was rushed to only find out after that the shape was not changed and the color was just placed over the original color. I sent Mei pics and text and tried to reach her to find out that I was BLOCKED on her social media (instagram) and BLOCKED on the phone!! I requested a refund days ago and have not received it! This is not a professional and obviously she does not care about customer satisfaction! I just went on viagro and was blocked there from doing a review! Bad service and customer service! I am now forced to go elsewhere to correct the brows and pay another $400. Buyer beware. I am not the only one who has been blocked and not refunded for services not completed or botched. read more

I got a referral from one of my friend to go to Meixiang and I definitely recommend! My appointment for Ombré powdered brows were done by Mei and they came out great. I really like how they look and are exactly what I wanted. I waited for a few weeks and went back to her to do the eyebrows touch up after. I am so happy with the work she did on me and I plan to get stretch marks camouflage and Scar camouflage done from her very soon! Thanks again! read more

After considering for a couple of years, I finally decided to get my eyebrows microbladed. Pretty Chic came highly recommended, and I am so happy with the results. Mei was meticulous with drawing the shape and performing the Microblading, incorporating my feedback and explaining everything she was doing. Four weeks later, I got my brows touched up. I get so many compliments, and my brows are so low maintenance now. Thanks, Mei read more

When it comes to scheduling she will do her best to work around your schedule and accommodate you as best she can. The way she does eyelash extensions is a true skill. I constantly get compliments on mine and recommend her to everyone I know. Our appointments always seem to go by in the blink of an eye, whether we are catching up on gossip, having a somewhat therapy session on my personal life or she's letting me catch up on much needed sleep during my lash naps. Her timeliness is very important to me because of my work schedule and mom life/finding a babysitter. Cindy has become like family to me and I appreciate all that she has done and continues to do!
