What People Are Saying About Etant

The Scene – The level of serenity inside Etant (French for "being") contrasts with the steady commotion outside on Tremont Street. Focusing on consonance of mind and body, the spa operates opposite of Newbury Street's chichi spas, drawing customers more concerned with wellness than pampering. That's not to say that pampering isn't on the agenda--relaxing is effortless in the softly lit treatment rooms. Expertly trained staffers exude warmth and are the friendliest in town. – – The Services – Body treatments like mud therapy and salt scrubs renew the skin, while a…

So glad to have it in my 'hood'

I moved to the South End about a year ago and discovered this jewel was around the corner from my home. I was a little nervous to try a new place at first, but am SO glad I did. I will never go to another spa in Boston again!
Randy is a massage wizard - I have never had a better massage, and I have had plenty of them all over the US and other countries.
Their Estheticians are fantastic as well - I usually just book whomever is available, although I have to say.... Dena gives the best bikini wax - doesn't even hurt (ok, a little, but nothing compared to what it could!).
They are all so warm and fuzzy - I always leave with a smile! I am so proud to be able to support a neighborhood business like this - and so happy I walked into their doors a year ago!
- Pros: Warm, friendly, accomodating and fantastic staff
- Cons: none

Love this place !!!!

My second massage E-V-E-R and the best ever! I booked double appointments for me and my best friend who came up from Florida, they were ready when we arrived, the atmosphere is calming and the bodywork was amzing. Randy was perfect in her demeanor and the magical use of her hands reigned supreme. My friend had Jason and he did something to her ears that she has been unable to stop talking about since. She has had many massages before and she admits that it was the best she has ever had.
It was worth the 135 for an hour and a half ( a half hour of foot reflexology!!) AND I booked another for next month !!! Thank you Randy!!
- Pros: The staff are amazingly attentive

The first time I went to Etant I enjoyed the best facial ever. My 2nd experience not so great...I live about 45 minutes away and drove myself the 2nd time... I called and let the receptionist know that I had trouble finding my way back... she seemed to be very nice and understanding. She called me back and told me that they were going to forfeit my spot and also still charge me. I asked to speak to the owner he was very rude and dismissive. Not the best experience, but the clinicians are the best! I lost out on almost 100 dollars... they could have handled this better. If they did not have my certificate already they would not have been able to take my money.
- Pros: Great facials, relaxing
- Cons: The Owner
