Housed on several floors, this personal beauty emporium offers the latest in cutting-edge services, and all the requisite primps and prods, to a varied clientele. While it does provide clients--from suburban housewives to professional athletes and everyone in between--with every salon procedure under the sun, what makes it stand out is its overwhelming assortment of spa therapies, treatments and wraps. In the basement floor's 20-odd treatment rooms, patrons are twisted, dunked and contorted in ways previously thought unimaginable. Among the most rewarding services are the soft-pack body wrap…

Editor's Tips

Save Money:
Consider joining the Giuliano Privilege Club: The $79 annual fee nets you a 10-percent discount on all services.
Save Money:
For hardcore spa junkies, the VIP program could be a steal. Pay $99 per year, and every $10 you spend (at either G2O or sister spa Emerge down the street), $2 is credited to your account for future services.
Know Before You Go:
Be mindful of your schedule. Depending on your reserved service, there's a 24- or 48-hour cancellation policy, and a 50% charge for late cancellations and a 100% charge for no-shows.
Look Good:
Though credit cards are accepted for services, tips are additional (typically 15%-20%) and can only be given as cash in a provided discreet envelope. Prepare your wallet accordingly, or an ATM is right by the front counter if you're in a bill-less bind.

The new G2O is a dream...

by AdClubKaitlin at Citysearch

The new G2O is a dream! I've been a client there since 2006 and their space is finally worthy of their awesome talent. I am able to get my cut & color done with Alexander, my nails done with Kim, and my waxing done with Sasha all in one trip to their "urban oasis." The new salon/spa is totally "green" and feels both clean and trendy at the same time. I only wish I worked closer so that I could take my lunch break in the spa's "nap pod" or jacuzzi! Get your appointment in while it's still nice out, relax on the roof deck and take in the view. Kudos to the G2O team!

Fantastic Experience and Full On Customer Service

by Taylor100 at Citysearch

A completely fantastic experience!!! I have been to a number of salons on Newbury Street and after five years, have finally found a salon with everything I need. After a full hair makeover with Jessy, I am thrilled with G2O. Had a great cut and color, strong consultation, and felt totally appreciated for the service. Wonderful staff at every level from check in through check out.

  • Pros: Great customer service, great products, beauty experts

Fabulous experience with Alexander

by CSMobileUser2 at Citysearch

I have been having Alexander cut and color my hair for awhile now- he is not only skilled but very friendly. At his suggestion, I decided to try the Ultra Tress extensions to add more length and volume to my hair. I am so happy with the result! Alexander did an amazing job making them look and feel natural without draining my bank account. I can't wait to see the new G2O location when it opens this summer!

Great Facial!

by ack20854 at Citysearch

I was in Boston for the day and called last minute to see if I could get a facial. The staff was very helpful and was able to schedule one later in the day. My aesthitician, Olive, was very experienced and gave a wonderful facial including a hand massage plus lotion and the warm hand mitts. That was a real gift on a freezing cold day!! Olive effectively tackled my "T-zone" area. If you are sensitive, ask for gentle treatment. Overall, a wonderful experience and I will definitely return!

  • Pros: Very relaxing and professional
