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.

I've been at the dentist office (upstairs) for almost two years now. Earlier this year I decided to look at what the spa had to offer. I was really interested in the micro-needling as I have so many scars on my cheeks from picking my pimples when I was younger - yuck! For the past few years, I've been meaning to make an effort to take care of my face more, even spending hundreds of dollars on products that hardly even worked. I WISH I found Stacey sooner! I've had my third treatment of micro-needling within the past three months and you wouldn't believe the results!!! My scars are fading and my cheeks have never felt so smooth! It's really unbelievable! I also want to mention that before I started treatment, I was really nervous...little tiny needles just up and done my face, but Stacey explained the whole treatment to me, which made me feel better. She also recommended some post op products to me as I looked like I got the worse sunburn of my life after the treatments (goes away after 2-3 days). I can't talk enough about this treatment because IT ACTUALLY WORKS! Please, go give Stacey a call now and start pampering yourself. She offers so much and you won't regret it!

I was a loyal client here for many years and truly valued the professionalism and care I once…read moreexperienced. This place meant a lot to me. Over time, however, it felt like the management style, particularly at the ownership level, shifted. Communication became inconsistent, and situations that once would have been handled directly and professionally were not. This was not reflective of the front desk team. Many of the therapists I connected with moved on. My most recent experience simply was not the right fit. I did not feel fully heard, and the session felt more rushed than mindful. After the session, there was no follow up or check in at all, which has never happened in any of my previous experiences here. I was tired of bouncing around, so I gave it time to see if things might improve. In the end, she agreed it was not the right fit. What was most disappointing was how it was handled. It took several calls, emails, and texts from me to learn that my sessions had been canceled less than 24 hours before my next appointment. The front desk told me the owner was supposed to call me about the cancellations and to suggest an alternative therapist, but that call never happened, and there was no follow up afterward. There was also a brief moment that stood out. I had left more than 20 percent, though less than the week before because the experience felt different. When I shared that, it was suggested that the front desk might not have passed the full amount along. That surprised me, as the front desk team has always been consistently kind, professional, and trustworthy. I want to be clear that the front desk staff are excellent. They make scheduling seamless, communicate thoughtfully, and create a welcoming environment every time you walk in. I am writing this because I cared about this place. I used to genuinely look forward to coming here. Moving on feels like losing something familiar, almost like losing a friend. I would still welcome a one on one conversation with the owner, as I would have appreciated that before. I hope the practice finds its way back to what once made it so special.

Tried Skin Laundry Watertown on a whim--next-day slot, why not? Booking was a pain (register,…read morepassword, forms, six texts in one day). I show up early as instructed, they hand me an iPad for another form and it flashes every other client's private info--major red flag. Next, a 20-something receptionist scoots in and starts grilling me on skin goals, routine, the works. I offer to discuss the specifics with the clinician who actually sees me; she says that the appointment is 15 minutes and clinician doesn't have the time, but she'll pass my notes along--second red flag. We never even snap the "before" pic because she keeps looping, "I'm allowed to ask, it's not medical medical." After five minutes of polite push-back she offers to cancel my appointment--yep, grabbed it. Whole visit was sold as a consult-plus-treatment with a provider..... which says volumes on how they treat new clients. Burned an hour, zero confidence in services, even though the clinician might be superb, first and last time. Are all their practices run this way, or was i just unlucky?

Other aestheticians I've been to never took the time to clear out my pores like Erin did. I was so relaxed after the massage (bundled in with the facial), I was ready to take a nap! I had such a positive experience at Glow, I already scheduled a follow up facial appointment. The location was very convenient to get to as well.

It was easy to book back to back appointments online so that one of us could keep an eye on my little one while we were out. There were two women working, and they were very friendly and accommodating. There was just enough space for the stroller next to my pedicure chair, so I could happily soak my feet and enjoy the massage chair while Lee did my MIL's nails first. My feet really needed some TLC and were very happy after the soak, short massage, and scrub. I wish we could have opted for a longer massage! Lee did a great job with my nails. I opted for a festive color and feel ready for the holidays. A number of regulars came by while we were there, which was a nice sign. The prices were very reasonable too. I plan to come back!
