BEST SPA in Greater Boston --- nearly painless waxing

by Jamieag at Citysearch

I love this place beyond belief.... Everyone is so nice and friendly- they always try to accommodate crazy schedules...I questioned leaving the review because I feel like the place is my hidden secret but I felt it only fair give the girls credit for their beyond exceptional service!!

Trina is amazing -- I have been going to her for nearly two years for everything from head to toe waxing - to facials

ps -- if you know what a Martini Delight is--- this is by far the best place to go to for that !! :)

• Pros: Knowledgeable & Friendly Staff, Free Parking, BEST WAXING
• Cons: NONE

The Best of The Best!!!!

by Julero at Citysearch

I have been getting my Brazilian wax from Chani (now co-owner) since she started at Bella Skin a million years ago when it was under management of it's first owner. After changing ownership once and losing it's charm a the hands of some insane people, Chani and her partner Trina bought the place and have restored the integrity that made me a loyal Bella Skin client in the first place.

I live in Brooklyn and make it a point to return to Newton, MA every six weeks for my wax. It may seem extreme given that there are plenty of places to get waxed in NYC but I can tell you that the Jay Sisters have nothing on Chani and Trina!!!! They give me a perfect wax, virtually pain-free thanks to the wax they use, each and every time!!!!! Thanks ladies!!!!

• Pros: They don't double dip their sticks, warm & wonderful staff.
• Cons: They are in MA, I live in NYC yet I still get waxed there...

Wonderful Salon

by JessiBeth at Citysearch

Bella Skin is great! The relaxing, nicely decorated atmosphere makes getting a not-so-enjoyable waxing more than bearable. The entire staff is friendly and helpful and parking is never an issue. I recommend this place to all my friends!

Best "Hip to Ankle" Wax EVER!

by bufskein at Citysearch

Prior to a vacation last month I booked a last minute appointment with Chanti for a full leg and brazillian wax, based on the glowing review on this site. I could not have been more pleased, not only was the experience as painless as waxing can be but I was smooth in just about 1 hour! When I am getting a pedicure I want the time to last and last, but as we all know with waxing the experience should be as efficient as possible & it was.

Unfortunately (for me), the crew must be on vacation this week and I was due for my 4 week appointment. I decided to go elsewhere. Even though I paid a little less, I got what I paid for! I am bruised, burnt and the skin on my calves is peeling!!!! And the torture lasted over 2 hours!

Never again will I leave Bella Skin without booking my next appointment! Thanks again Chanti, I'll see you in 4 weeks!

• Pros: online booking, great staff, skills, no pressure to buy product
• Cons: None

Best Brazilian Wax!

by cjarnold at Citysearch

What an awesome experience! It was my first time getting a Brazilian Wax, and I was really nervous. Chanti did a great job at making me feel comfortable, it went by quick, and it turned out so great!

• Pros: Very nice environment, and clean.
• Cons: Not a lot of parking.

Never be nervous about waxing again!

by youngatty at Citysearch

I had never been brave enough to go for a Brazilian but, for my wedding and honeymoon, I wanted to do something special. I read the reviews about Bella Skin and got up the nerve to make an appointment, fully expecting some amount of pain and suffering. I could not have been more off the mark.

When I entered the spa, I was immediately absorbed into the clean, relaxed atmosphere. The women there were very kind and put my worries to rest almost as soon as they spoke. As for the actual experience, it could not have been easier. Something about the kind of wax combined with her technique... all I can say is that I will definitely be going back knowing there is NOTHING TO FEAR.

• Pros: Relaxed atmosphere, skill, painless.
• Cons: No plush robes.

Best Brazilian Ever

by Erin72 at Citysearch

I had the Brazilian bikini wax last Saturday and it was the best one I've ever had...and I've been to some of the well known salons specializing in this service in Los Angeles. The technique applied by the girl who did my wax was less painful because she did not use strips, and she was thorough. The setting was very relaxing as well.

• Pros: Exceptional brazilian with less pain. Priced right.
• Cons: Can't think of any.

Best Massage I've EVER had! I love the waxing and facials too, of course...

by NatickResident at Citysearch

I am 9 months pregnant and now past my due date. I went to see Nicole at the recommendation of Chani who I've been going to for years. I have had plenty of massages and let me tell you Nicole was amazing! She gave me a prenatal massage which basically means that you lie on your side as opposed to your tummy and back. The pressure was perfect, the room was the right amount of light, the music was soothing and the bed was heated! Oh, it was bliss and if I could give Nicole 10 stars in this review I would. She was excellent and I recommend that anyone should go to her. She used to teach massage and knows exactly what she's doing!

• Pros: Great Massage, Great Facials, Great Waxing, Awesome and Friendly Staff
• Cons: None!
