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!

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!!

The owner not so great, but love the rest of stafff. 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.

BEST WAXING EVER!. I recently moved to the area and needed to find a new waxer. I found Allison when i googled Best of Boston so I decided to give her a try. Allison gave me a brazilian wax and a brow wax. My brows have never looked better! She had me grow them out to be more even and now that they are I get so many compliments. The brazilian wax was so quick and virtually painless. She made me feel comfortable as well. Anyone who is looking for a great esthetician should definately go see Allison at Etant!!

The Best in Boston. I take my wife for a spa treatment and massage for our anniversary and for her birthday every year. We dad gone to a couple different spas in Back Bay for years in which the last couple times we didn't have the best experiences. Etant came highly recommended to me by a colleague, so I thought I would give it a try. Why not, right? My colleague didn't talk it up highly enough. Our experience exceeded both myself and my wife's expectations. In my opinion most higher end spas in downtown Boston give a great massage, facial, treatments, etc. That's a give in - It's what they do! The aspects that made Etant so spectcular was the atmosphere, the services, and the staff. We almost felt like we were in our own home - that's how comfortable we felt. Spa's can be a bit stuffy and pretensious, but I didn't get that sense here. My sense was they wanted to make me feel more comfortable then over the top pampered and in my opinion comfort is the best pampering one can get. I want to thank the staff at Etant and looking forward to seeing each of you again!!! By the way, I am a bit shocked about the last posting considering what myself and everyone else has to say. Maybe you should go to Newbury and you will get a high dose of "fake" people.

Cheers!
