LOVED THIS DAY SPA!!!
I went in yesterday and had the best massage and facial EVER. The entire experience was relaxing and awesome! The staff were friendly, helpful and extremely good!! I highly recommend La Dolce Vita!

Blissful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the recommendation of a co-worker I spent a wonderful day at La Dolce Vita--facial, massage, mani & pedi...pure heaven!!! I was welcomed warmly when I arrived, and felt totally pampered for my whole stay. They made sure I was comfortable and happy. Although everything was great, the facial really stood out: it was the best I've ever had. The only bad part of the day was leaving. I've alr...

Disgusted
The most unprofessional encounter I have ever witnessed anywhere happened at La Dolce Vita Salon & Day Spa in Boston over this past weekend. I was in the waiting area and was completely disgusted when I witnessed a young woman ? a customer of the spa - being made fun of, and threatened by the staff. This young woman had attempted to pay for her spa services with a gift card given to her recently ...

Would only go there with a gift certificate
I received a gift certificate for a "Little Escape Package"- Massage, manicure, pedicure. The massage felt great, very soothing and relaxing. As I sat to get my pedicure next, the massage therapist entered and loudly proclaimed to the desk staff that she was upset I had not left a tip (one was waiting for her in my pocket, since she disappeared after my massage). The preparations for my manicu...

Overpriced, not as good as cheaper places
I went as a first-time customer for mani, pedi, brow wax, haircut and blow-dry. The mani/pedi was not as good as ones I've gotten at much cheaper nail salons. The haircut and blowdry and eyebrow wax were fine, but nothing special. I've gotten better (or just as good) $40 haircuts at other places. The ambience is okay, but nothing special; it doesn't feel like a high-end salon, the quality isn...

Services are fine, but I won't be back
I went into La Dolce Vita over the weekend to use the Groupon I purchased last month. I had been there before, and the prices with the Groupon couldn't be beat, so I figured I'd have a good experience. Unfortunately, that was my last visit to La Dolce Vita. The services performed were fine, and the woman who did my manicure, pedicure, and eyebrow wax was great. She couldn't have been nicer an...

spa day
I went here for a massage and haircut, having never seen the place before. The salon part of La Dolce Vita was very nice and the stylist did a good job, but the cut that I ended up with wasn't exactly what I had asked for. The massage was great, but it was a little awkward because there's just one room with a massage table right off from the main salon. I don't think I would go here for any sp...

Great Wax!!
had my first Brazilian here with Jorlady and it was amazing. I felt so comfortable in what would normally be a very uncomfortable circumstance. I have very sensitive skin and had absolutely no reaction at all! On top of being a great waxing it was one of the cheapest in Boston ($55). I continue to return here. I highly recommend this salon to my friends as well.

Great, relaxing Spa!
Ladolce Vita is the perfect place to go for a relaxing afternoon at the spa. The aroma hydrating facial is to DIE for, and the whole staff is professional, clean and friendly. I have been to this spa twice, both for bridal parties, and it was perfect.

After reading reviews and noting the price of brazilian waxes at La Dolce Vita, I decided to give it a try. I was able to schedule an appointment very easily (one day in advance), which was very convenient for me.

Hot Stone Couples Massage was Excellent!!
My boyfriend got the couples hot stone massage for Christmas, so we went in on a Saturday afternoon to get them.

I went to the salon to get a Brazilian and chose it because it was rated very highly and the prices were reasonable. It was my first time getting a Brazilian and I was quite nervous.

The salon was decorated nicely, however, the chairs you sit in for the pedicures, the massaging cushion was broken and the remote, table & lamp were dusty.

Total Let Down
I was extremely disappointed with my spa experience. I had read the reviews here at CitySearch and decided to ignore the few that were negative (service takes way too long, unfriendly staff, expensive for what you get, etc.) I thought going on a Friday afternoon would increase my chances for a favorable experience. To my horror, the negative reviews were right on. This is not a spa, it is a hair ...

Satisfied Customer
I spent about four hours at the spa getting my nails done, a massage and a facial. The people were very nice and very friendly. They made me feel very comfortable, relaxed and pampered. The services were just as good, especially the massage part of my visit. I left a very happy customer. I highly recommend them

Another good review for Cathy
I went here based on the favorable reviews I read on City Search. I'm always hesitant when I try a new salon for highlights, but given what I read I figured I'd try it. Cathy took very good care of me and did an awesome job on my highlights and was very friendly and conversational. Prices were affordable. I will definitely go back for future hair maintenance.

my first brazilian!
I went into La Dolce Vita for my first ever brazilian wax. I was so nervous! After meeting the waxer ( Elana ) i was brought to a room and asked to change. Elana put me at ease by joking with me and informing me of everything that would take place. After we got to talking I felt much more comfortable, like i was with an old friend! The procedure itself was quick, not entirely painless, but not ne...

I got my first ever brazilian bikini wax done with Dianna.

The procedure did hurt (I have thick hair), however, I highly recommend Dianna. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, and the whole place was clean and neat.

Their Brazilian waxing was indubitably the best one ive ever had. It was quick, thorough, not as painful, and cheaper than others ive been to. I hugely recommend this place to everyone.

Not the place for eyebrows!
I only went for my eyebrows and had a horrific experience. I should have known better, seeing as how they only charge $18 for the service. I was greeted pleasantly enough but the "specialist" made no effort to make me feel comfortable or to consult with me about what I wanted. The wax was cheap and I was left raw and red. If you want two eyebrows that match, go somewhere else.
