Both excellent girls. Room was a bit small. I would recommend this spa to friends.

THEY DO IT ALL!!!

by alipearson

This is the Spa to come to if you want it ALL!!!

I have never visited a Spa (and I have visited many) that offers MORE treatments than you can even IMAGINE! If you can imagine it, Spa Newbury can DELIVER IT!

I have been a client of Spa Newbury since it opened a few blocks up the Street. They have since moved into a beautiful VERY TASTEFULLY DESIGNED first-floor space further up the street in a much hipper section of Newbury Street. (closer to nice restaurants, shopping.) I really love what the owner, Selena has done with the decor of the Spa, as I have visited beautiful Spa's like this in Paris. Reminds me a lot of Paris! Merci Vraiment, Selena!!

I especially LOVE the fact that as soon as I came in for my Spa Treatment, I was offered something to drink (green tea, in fact) and a cookie snack. Little did they know that I had worked all day and did not have a chance to stop for a snack and was starving!!! This was such a "thoughtful" service that I had not expected at all... that little snack meant more to me than they could have possibly imagined!!

My services have ranged from:

* Individual Massage and Couples Massage (including spa packages)

* Warm Java Body scrubs

* Express Facials and Full Facials

* INCREDIBLE "Pink" mud baths (OOOOOH MY GOD!!)

* Detox Treatments and Mineral Treatments

Including countless other treatments...

In my opinion, Spa Newbury is a top notch Spa with the best service you will get here in Boston and anywhere. The staff is professional, pleasant, friendly and very knowledgeable.

The best thing that I actually learned from Spa Newbury was how to care for my skin at home as well as at the Spa. The products range from Clinical type products to your "better" Spa products. The staff really knows what my needs are and everything that I have purchased from Spa Newbury has worked for me without fail. They will also suggest products for special skin needs (in my case sensitive skin prone to all types of allergic reactions.) I also have hyper-pigmentation. The products that I got from Spa Newbury have been working to reduce the visibility of the brown spots on my skin. YES, they really actually WORK!!! And, keeping in mind that my skin is very sensitive, I can actually use the products without any skin reactions or irritation.

THANK YOU SPA NEWBURY for helping me put my best face forward!!!

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by Kathy A

Easily booked an appointment on-line. Took me right in for my appointment on time. Received a great facial and pedicure. Enjoyed some unique attributes to the services such as some type of mud ritual for my pedi. Spa Facial included face, neck and upper chest. Facialist was an expert. Pedicurist was perfection. Receptionist was warm and welcoming. Truly enjoyable.

One of Bostons Best Spas

by Mazzy E

I happen to love Spa Newbury. I have been several times and have found it to be a wonderful reprise. Then again, I have been to many spas so I tend to think I have a better idea of what is great - and what is not.

I love the fact that when I go in there is great food (and I mean real snacks not just an apple), there are great and plentiful magazines and the people watching in their first floor space and huge reception area windows are all superb.

Their services are exceptional as well. I mostly go for their massages and I remember Tina and Beth best. They both have MAGIC hands. I think I have always received a gift bag at the end of each visit and I love the "stress relief oil" packet that always comes in this. Its a really nice gesture after the end of any spa visit.

I love that I can now book my appointments on-line and that they are open 7 days a week so I can go anytime I want (within reason). I also love that they keep their spa tidy and well organized. While I love my cell phone just as much as any, I love the fact that they truly do not allow this in their spa which is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. Praise true ethereal peace!

While I have been to much larger spas, and if I wanted a relaxing time at a pool or another spa experience I would book elsewhere other than Newbury street, I will say, this is one of my favorite local Boston haunts. They always seem to have what I want and provide it effortlessly. It has been great every time I need.

• Pros: Friendly, Knowledgeable
• Cons: Have not found any yet!

Never Again!

by kai123

At the beginning of my visit I sat in the "waiting" area that was extremely tiny. I received a phone call on my cell from my mother about funeral arrangements for my gm. Obviously I needed to take the call. The receptionist interupted my call and indicated there was no cell phone use in the waiting area. (which I can understand why since there was a person getting a manicure in the waiting area) However, she attempted to block my exit out of the building so that I could continue my conversation!

I went to this salon for an airbrush tan. The website indicated that the salon had experienced technicians to do the airbrushing. Turns out the receptionist is also the "experienced technician". However, when my tan "set" I discovered yellow/orange streaking on my elbows, shins, and underarms. This was all with the products they convinced me to buy and use before my tan. But that wasn't the worst of it! The technician while I was in nothing but a paper thong asked if I've had children and had I lost weight. Yes, I have stretch marks. But it isn't fun or appropriate to ask those questions when someone is standing in front of you in an already precarious situation. Not if you want to make money in this business anyway. If you have any flaws expect them to be commented on if you go to this place. If you're lucky enough not to, beware of streaking!

• Pros: I'd Give This Spa a Zero Rating If I Could!
• Cons: Rude Staff/Overpriced
