Great pedicure

by jennybackbay

Tried Melt after I read the Stuff beauty awards because they won best specialty pedicure. It was much different from the average walk-in experience. Loved the service, Kristie did a great job. It was more like having a foot/leg massage than just having your toes done. She used a custom made scrub that left my feet so soft..

This spa is Awesome!!!

by DoreenBel

I received a Gift Certificate for my birthday from my girlfriends to this place and can't say enough about how great it is. The staff are so attentive and can't do enough for you. I had a facial from Katie and a pedicure from Lucelli which was the best I have ever had!!! I met the owner who made sure to come over and see if I needed anything and to introduce herself to me which I thought was very nice. I have been to a few places on Newbury Street, but this by far is the best. I can't wait to go back!!

• Pros: Friendly Staff, Great Services, Beautifully Decorated
• Cons: None

Brides beware!

by VeronicaL

I've gone to Melt for Luzerne facials in the past, and I've always loved the results. So when I was booking pre-wedding beauty appointments for my recent wedding, I naturally called Melt to book a facial for two days before the big day. They recommended a Hydrafacial for me--they promised that it's safe for all skin types (mine is sensitive) and that I would be glowy for a week afterward. That certainly wasn't the outcome I got. My skin was extremely red, and peeling and flaking all over the bottom half of my face and didn't clear up until the MIDDLE OF MY HONEYMOON. $200 wasted to ruin my skin for my wedding! I wanted to cry every time I looked in the mirror. And when I called after to tell them the problem, the manager's response was "Oh really? Sorry about that." In the past I would have recommended this spa in a heartbeat--now you couldn't pay me to go back.

• Cons: Hydrafacial DESTROYED my skin
