Amazing staff and top notch skin care
by Dotty27 at Citysearch
I have been going to see Allison for facials for almost a year now and my skin has improved beyond my wildest dreams! Every facial is relaxing and super enjoyable and I would recommend her to anyone. Just to give some background... I only had a facial one other time before coming to see her and it was at a fancy resort in the Bahamas; Allison's work is so much better than what I experienced on vacation that I just can't imagine wasting time seeing anyone else. She is incredibly knowledgeable and always willing to answer your questions.
The rest of the staff is amazing too - every time I go there, I am greeted by a caring friendly staff. Everyone smiles and is genuinely happy to see you there. Aside from all of that, what I love about Interludes is that there is no ego like in other spas, each experience is completely relaxing and fun. I always feel like I have to show off at other spas (not that I go to them anymore,) but Interludes is just not like that. Not to mention that the prices are an absolute bargain for the extremely high quality services and personal attention that you get.
This place actually isn't too far from the T if you live in town, you could take a short cab ride from Oak Grove or Malden Center (on the orange line) to get there. I would say it is well worth the trip!
- Pros: knowledgeable, friendly staff; great prices; amazing services
- Cons: a little bit of a trip from the T if you live in town and are without wheeels

SMASHING!!

Got the best facial, wax and pedicure EVER!
Morroccan theme room in the pedicure area!!!! Lights change color in the foot chair bath. Nice back massage in the chair.
Wax room is small but comforting, with lots of "sayings" and fun things to occupy
the mind as they "rip" Clean and sanitary.
Looks like you are in a living room, very cozy. Hand painted furniture, recliners, I loved the ambiance.
There is one facial girl there and she sent me to heaven and back. Not pushy like the other reviewer said.
In fact she told me to continue my current regime and gave me a mask sample which was wonderful! Going back for sure. There is parking in the long driveway, but I parked on the street.
- Pros: Great Service & ON TIME!!-doesn't get much better than this. Experienced people.
- Cons: none

Best waxing around
by cittygrrl at Citysearch
I have been waxing for years. So when I recently moved to the area I looked all around for a good waxing technician. I had a tough time - tried a few places on Newbury street, etc. but was never really happy - until I found Interlude. My first time there Michelle (the owner and Waxing Queen) took the time to go over my previous experience with waxing, explained the products she uses (hard wax, no strips, it's the best!), and what to expect from the whole experience. I saw that a previous comment stated the waxing room was small - but really how much room do you really need to get waxed?? The business is located in a converted house so it is very cozy, you feel like your at a friend's house. And the staff certainly makes you feel that way as well.
- Pros: Highly skilled, "maintenace plan" pricing for waxing, GREAT customer service
- Cons: parking can be a pain
