Skin Innovations Spa

This place has come along way.although they are always changing there staff. I always see new people in there. so why? most good spa's have the same staff,not new faces every few weeks. Also when you call to book apt. You cant understand the receptionist half the time. That goes with the change of faces though,sometimes you get a really great speaking girl, and other times you cant understand the woman at all...The massages are good. more

I went to Patty for a facial--did it as a back-to-school treat, also because I had a coupon for 20% off in honor of their relocation to a bigger place on Walnut Street (hasn't happened yet, but I think it will this week). The facial was great start to finish. Quiet and peaceful room, products that felt great, wonderful technique. Patty explained the steps and the products but she didn't oversell or push me to buy expensive things. She made some helpful suggestions for my skin care regimen. Patty also did a ""Teen facial"" for my daughter a few weeks ago; it was a huge success. I plan to be back...my skin looked and felt great afterward. more

Skin Innovations is a wonderful clean, relaxing dayspa. I had a Signature Facial with Patricia and my skin glowed. She gave me recommendations and ""strong"" suggestions to take care of my aging skin. I love their organic skin care line. I will be back! more

Saadia gave the best massage I've ever had. the space was clean and very comfortable, and the price was more than reasonable. Parking was easy as well...plenty of spaces in the lot. Overall this was a great experience; I will definitely be back to see Saadia again, and I strongly recommend anyone reading this review does the same. Pros: great location, great service more

. I have known Saadia for the past five years. During that time I have had the great fortune of getting know Saadia in her place of work. I see Saadia once a week for a 1 hour facial at Skin Innovations (her current place of employment) in Newton, Massachusetts. Saadia?s deep passion for what she does translates into the positive experience I have when I am on her table. Her professionalism is something to be commended and her talent in my opinion goes far beyond her years. I am constantly referring people in my work place to seek her services, assuring them that they will leave feeling more relaxed and refreshed than ever. I am confident that Saadia will only continue to grow in her skills as she continues to work in this field. She has already been sent on many conferences which only further her knowledge and she is always willing to learn more. She constantly tells me that she, ?loves what she does?. From someone who has been in the business world for quite some time now, I can say without any shred of doubt that a desire to do ones job WELL, makes all the difference, especially when you are enjoying what you do for a living. Pros: great service, great locations, good prices more

This spa is great! I have been going consistently once a month and seeing Saadia when I go. She is awesome! Incredibly talented, a licensed massage therapist AND aesthetician. I can go for a massage and a facial at the same time. She is very professional and makes me feel completely comfortable. I highly recommend her to ANYONE!! Pros: offers a wide range of services! more

Went to Skin Innovations for Spa week because my girlfriend kept telling me I should get a facial. Not gonna lie, I was a little nervous going in being my first time at a spa. I was pleasantly surprised though. What a great place! The girls were very nice, friendly, professional and really knew what they were doing. They explained everything to me and did a fantastic job. Saadia is truly amazing! She made me feel comletley comfortable and tought me new ways to take care of my skin. I felt great after and still notice a huge difference. I will be back again. Keep up the great work!! Pros: Very professional and relaxing more

I have tried a number of massage therapists in my time, and Anna Kovgan is the best I have met. She is amazing! Very meticulous, careful, and attentive. She will listen to you very closely and is very knowledgeable about addressing specific issues. She has a warm personality too and very generous (my session went 15 minutes longer than it was supposed to). When I got up I felt incredibly rested and it felt as if I had a new body! She did wonders to me! The spa has a great atmosphere and I'd recommend it to anybody. Pros: knowledgable and attentive staff more

Saadia is amazing - i've had facials from a number of salons in an around Boston and she is the best i've been to. Not only was my skin amazing (both look and feel) after she was done but it was so relaxing! I've referred her to friends who have had microdermabrasion by her and they loved it. Without a doubt I would tell everyone to go see Saadia because she is awesome (plus she is one of the sweetest people which makes it even more comfortable to get some services done that can be a little initmidating) Pros: comfortable atmosphere, wonderful staff more

I was only very recently referred to this unique and terrific skin salon. Sophia and Saadia are very sincere about wanting to help each client, as well as being quite knowledgable about skin. The services and the products are excellent and there is no doubt that they have the clients best interests at heart, rather than just trying to make a sale. Pros: Extremely knowledgable and friendly professionals! more

i love this place! i was a bit nervous going to a new place to get my brows done but they were so amazing, i havent been anywhere else since! the staff is super friendly and sophia is awesome! ive been there for threading and facials, and been super happy with every treatment there! sophia has recommended me products, which i know use everyday! Pros: sophia rocks! more

As a non metro-sexual male, I was a little intimidated @ the prospect of going to a spa. But I loved it! Wld recommend to anyone. fyi Saadia rocks - be sure to ask for her! Pros: ambience, staff more

I looked for a long time for some one to do threading and I finally found Skin Innovations Spa. The woman who did my threading was incredible. I love my eyebrow the shape is amazing! I highly recommend them and will definitely be back. more

As a male, it's always a little difficult to talk about skin care issues. Sophia made me feel really comfortable and explained everything I need to know about my personal skin problems. I had the best facial I've ever received and the products I was recommended are GREAT for my sensitive skin. Thanks again Skin Innovations! more

Skin Innovations and Sophia are amazing. I have been there for waxing and for massage and I have been extremely satisfied with both. Sophia is attentive, thorough and completes all of her work with such care to what I (and her other clients) need. The atmosphere is extremely calming and inviting; simply walking in can relax me after a busy day. The products and materials that Sophia uses are clean, calming and healthy for my skin, which has a tendency to be sensitive. Sophia also has a lot of the same products for sale, including two spectacular lip treatments that make my lips feel full, soft and completely hydrated (essential during the winter months!). Pros: amazing massage and hair removal, clean and calming atmosphere, great customer service more

I have wrestled with red, sensitive skin for years and felt like it was a losing battle. It wasn't until I found Skin Innovations and Sophia that I finally feel like I'm in charge - and WINNING! Skin Innovations' treatments and customer care are exceptional. They often take more than my allotted hour to give my skin the TLC it needs. And the environment is incredibly inviting and relaxing. I often catch myself waking up after a quick cat nap. But more than the pleasing experience, Sophia really understands the complexity of skin and all of the factors that go into its care. Beyond the amazing treatments I've received there, she has spent a lot of time giving me helpful information about things I can do at home at little or no cost to keep my skin looking great. more

The facial I got from IRINAis the best I've ever had. She was very thorough and gentle and did an excellent job with the extractions. I felt pampered and beautifully attended to the whole time I was in her chair. My skin felt clean, incredibly soft and smooth afterwards. I was looking for a hydrating cream to put on at night so IRINA suggested a couple of creams from the iSHADORA line, but didn't push anything on me. I bought a cream that has been heavenly to use at night. It feels like I'm giving my skin a nourishing treat. I left Violet Skincare feeling like I had a brand new face!! Thanks so much for your excellent facial and professional skincare advice! more

I don't review spas ever, but I absolutely love this place and felt compelled! Pros: parking ,cleaness,attention Cons: don't find one yet more

Excellent staff and great job with waxing, eyelash extensions, facials. Very experienced and friendly. more

I have had two services at Skin Innovations: threading for my eye brows and eye lash extensions. I can't say enough how pleased I have been! I cannot get my eyebrows waxed, as I break out in the worse rash. The threading is quick, painless, inexpensive and precise. Even better than the threading are the eye lash extensions. I had them done for my 30th birthday party. I felt like such an absolute superstar. Everyone kept asking me what mascara I was using. They didn't look fake at all and instead made my eyes look wide-eyed and younger. Plus, I was able to wake up in the morning and just go without worry about doing up my eyes. The process was painless and the maintenance was very easy. It was definitey money well spent! I want to thank Skin Innovations for doing such a fabulous job and for being so nice while they did it! :-) Pros: Fabulous staff, attention to details, reasonably priced Cons: None! more
