I've gone to a few massage places in the area and had both good and not so good experiences, but…read morethis one was really great. I love the low lighting in the place. I don't know who would want a massage in bright light inside of a building! The massage itself was really different from a lot of the others I've had - hard to describe how, but I felt really good after. I even had a couple of flashes or "visions" while being massaged - just images of trees and a sunny meadow. The relaxed and revitalized feeling lasted a few days after the massage, which is not my usual experience - a lot of the time, I get tense again the next day. After this treatment at BodiScience, I still might get tense from work, but I was able to shift back into the relaxed mode quite easily. Courtney was great!

I have lived in MA since 2001 and have searched exhaustively for a nice day spa. Yesterday I may…read morehave found it here. It is hard to impress me since I lived for a long time in Denver and Phoenix, with access to world class destination spas. So, when I read the reviews on this site, I was hopeful - but did not want to elevate my hopes too much since I have been greatly disappointed by other area spas/glorified salons, before. I called and spoke with Dorothy, who greets customers with a warm voice oozing in empathy. I explained I had a really bad day and just needed a little pampering - and she had an opening for a massage. With the appointment made I ventured over to the office building. It was confusing to me because I had never been to the massive, mostly medical, complex...but Dorothy had explained I should go in by the New Horizon's Day Care center, which proved to be the best suggestion with an easily identified landmark. I was a little early so I indulged in a grilled cheese and tomato soup across the parking lot at the Gold Coast Cafe - it was EXACTLY what I needed...then into the door, just a few steps down the hall and into the inviting office/spa. I was a little concerned going in that the fact it was actually an office complex might distract me. Accustomed to "spas" on Newbury/Back Bay locations, or in settings which are seemingly more soothing - I wondered how a site probably best suited for a doctor's office would perform as a day spa. My concerns were immediately dispelled when Dorothy opened the first set of doors to reveal the space beyond. You are first greeted by a small chair massage area (not in use during my visit) and then four or more pedicure stations (three in use during my visit). The atmosphere was almost solemn, and the women in the chairs receiving treatments seemed to be in another world, without so much as a glance up to see me pass to the waiting room. I was given a form to complete and allowed to do so in a well appointed, cozy waiting room. The space was cozy but not claustrophobic as the suite had replaced the wall that was probably there prior with a glass panel, so someone waiting could see the activity beyond the room, but still relax in the low lighting and music of the lounge. Dorothy also brought me a "lavender collar" to help me reach a little more relaxation - which was a hot and slightly heavy "collar" with a heavy but not distracting scent of soothing lavender. My treatment began with a sample of aromatherapy scents; me choosing which we would use with my eyes closed...each corresponding to whatever my body needs...I chose the one which evidently signifies I am "in transition". The oil therefore should help to "balance and calm" me when added to the massage oil. My main complaint with other area spas, and in fact all spas - is noise. Here there is a reverence that I have never found even in five-star spas in Scottsdale. The staff speaks in a whisper - doors are closed with care not to make a sound, and carpet throughout assures that any footsteps are muffled. There are no passing conversations in the hallway to distract the patron from the service at hand. The massage itself was nurturing and fantastic. Not the deepest massage - which I think some practitioners equate with "good" but rather a nurturing treatment with attention to energy flow, pressure points and relaxation. If only I did not have to re-enter the world when it was over I could have remained in a state of bliss and overall body mushiness. Dressed and despising the thought of going into the world again, I was given a choice of herbal teas, allowed as much time as I wanted in the lounge to sip and complete my relaxation and then make my way to the front whenever I was ready - of course, I was never "ready" but I did eventually saunter up to pay and eventually leave. I have read here and in North Shore magazine that the facials are amazing, which I will try on another, better planned visit. I can say that I will be back. My only complaints, and they are very small - but it wouldn't be one of my reviews without them - are: If you have to go to the bathroom, it is a shock to your system - the entire space is in muted colors with low lighting - the bathroom is that of a doctor's office and kind of jolts you back to reality - I don't want reality - I want to stay in my cocoon. Also, the music is different in the massage room v. the outer rooms - and you can hear the conflict which is MILDLY distracting - it would be better if either the massage room music was louder to drown out the other music, or they were in sync. To my earlier point - I also wish the entry point/retail portion of the spa was also a little more muted in color and lighting - which I understand may be difficult to do with the standard lighting of an office park. Finally, I wish the chairs in the lounge reclined even slightly. Overall - fantastic.

I love New England Electrology! I've been coming here off and on for about 2 years now for…read moreelectrolysis. It's a very clean and professional place. I've seen both Barbara and Bobbie who are both fabulous. They always make me feel very comfortable (as you can imagine sometimes hair removal is awkward) and they check in frequently during treatment to make sure I am still okay with the strength. They always do a thorough job, always recommend just the right amount of treatment time needed, and never try to "sell" me more time or treatments that I don't need. No pressure at all! It's also super easy to book an appointment online and if you do need to speak to someone they get back to you very quickly. I have had great results and will continue to come here!

I went in for an electrolysis consultation and first time treatment on 6/25/2015, after booking online through their website (so easy!). Barbara was the staffer who performed electrolysis on me: she gave me the form to fill out, provided a tour of the electrolysis and massage rooms, described how electrolysis worked, and showed me the autoclave (tool sterilization) machine. She also answered questions I had, and was very helpful in giving clear, concise information on the treatment and post treatment care. During electrolysis, she checked with me if i was comfortable with strength of the treatment or if it needed to be adjusted, but it was fine. Great experience, as I've been hesitant of getting permanent hair removal, but honestly, it pretty much feels like waxing, but doesn't burn like wax can. Very highly recommended.

Ponhnithi Chea is her name on Venmo. I got a basic pedicure but it was very nice and she used hot oil and hot stones. It was very relaxing. She did a nice job ( I thought) on my nails as well. I flew home back to SC the next day and the following day one of my nails popped off. I did not have tips on, so it was just the color as a whole came off. I ended up using nail glue to put it back on. Then the next day, another one came off. Again, I used nail glue to put it back on. At that point, I called the nail salon to let them know. They took a message and I received a text back letting me know I could come in for them to fix it. Of course that wouldn't work because I was not in town anymore. They said if I ever come back, they could give me a discounted service but they would not give me any refund because they are a small business. There wasn't much to do with that response. As the next few days went by more nails came off as a whole and some started chipping. As for my toes, my gel polish is still on and looks great.

I mean, what good is a cheap massage when I've got better things to do with my time? Which brings me to Debra-Jean. I didn't even use a coupon, I'll admit. I went to her because I have two friends who won't see anyone else, I was in some pain with a spasm, and I just could not risk another second rate back rub from a "fast food" massage joint. Well, I found out that all massages are NOT created equal. Debra-Jean took the time to really asses my situation, she asked questions, she looked at my posture and then she started the treatment. From the first couple of questions I just knew that she had education, experience, and a real love for what she does. Just that alone is enough to get me to relax and be able to really trust the process of letting my spasm wracked back release itself. I could really feel the targeted treatment working. Debra-Jean also was very thorough in instructing me on what to do to take care of the area and avoid letting it happen again. I have a long commute and I'm always in danger of having my back and shoulders act up on me. You can't just let some teenager out of massage school work on an injury or when you are in pain--that might even make it worse. Well, after an hour with Debra-Jean, I will join my two friends who are devoted clients and I will not go to anyone else. Trust me on this one. If you really need a solid massage and want to feel confident about your therapist, call Debra-Jean.

Even after experiencing two identical reactions within four weeks--each occurring immediately after using the topical--everyone I spoke with continued to dismiss the obvious connection and suggested the cause was something else I was doing. It is extremely clear that the reaction was caused by the product they prescribed, yet throughout every conversation, the staff didn't to acknowledge this possibility.
