Editorial Review for Newbury Day Spa – by Ellen Roberts
In Shirt
Patrons waiting to be plucked and rubbed pass the time by lounging in antique-inspired chairs surrounded by mauve-colored walls. Subtle, harmonious music contributes to a soothing of the spirit. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the prices are reasonable by Newbury Street standards. For a special treat, guests can opt for a day of luxury that combines aromatherapy massage, deluxe facial, body polish treatment, manicure, pedicure, makeup application, lunch and parking.

User Reviews for Newbury Day Spa

I just wrote a review a few months agoabout previous positive experiences, but this time I am not too pleased. She missed a lot of spots and gave me an uneven landing strip right before my vacation. I'm not too happy and for the price I had to pay, I still had to fix it myself. I'm not sure if I'll go back.
Pros: Receptionist was a little more friendly as well as my esthetician
Cons: missed spots

I had my very first wax at Newbury Day Spa with Oksana and she was the best! Despite other reviews I read, she is very friendly, talkative and does not reuse sticks in the wax! She was also very gentle with the waxing, as I told her I have very sensitive skin. I had a little redness after, but she suggested I use baby powder and witch hazel and it worked wonderfully. I went back a second time and there was less redness after the wax. She didn't miss a spot! She provided a lot of information and was very knowledgable and competent about waxing and I am definitely booking an appointment with her before my vacation! *Side note: The wax used is HOT, and heat kills most bacteria, like when you boil water, it kills harmful bacteria. Most salons use the same wax all day because if they didn't, it would be too gosh darn expensive and they'd charge you more, so get over it!*
Pros: Wonderful staff, skilled & knowledgable professionals
Cons: Narrow, creaky elevator, receptionist doesn't smile
