please read this before you make an appointment I understand a 24 hour cancellation policy, i really do. If someone is negligent and doesn't show up without notice, that's completely disrespectful. I'm a nurse, and last night I came home feeling run down, flat out awful. This morning, I went to my doctor who diagnosed me with strep throat. Today was also my birthday, i made an appointment for spa treatments, but obviously wasn't in the condit... Read More On Citysearchkeslater18 1/25/2010
Bella Sante Newbury is Bella indeed I have been going to Bella Sante once a month for almost four years. It is my favorite day of the month! I start with a massage by Darryl who will find any muscle even thinking of being in a knot. He always leaves me feeling relaxed and loose.
Andrea S. takes over with a facial to keep me looking and feeling great. She does whatever is needed to keep my aging skin soft and supple. She has gre... Read More On Citysearchrebecca1959 12/8/2009
Great place for customer service and relaxation Bella Sante is the true meaning of Day Spa! There are amazing options for refreshments at their juice bar, they have the nicest staff and awesome customer service and they really know how to make you feel relaxed and at ease. I love this place and my favorite treatment is the Bella Provence 80 min massage....to die for. Read More On CitysearchRacine1 12/2/2009
The best place - Anne P is wonderful! I have been going to Bella Sante for about 6 - 7 yrs. Anne is the best and fun to talk to and makes that waxing time less painful. The environment of the spa is relaxing, the employees and front desk staff are fun and professional. I have had YET to have a bad experience with anyone there.
I will say though, that Anne P is the one to go to! Read More On Citysearcheneville 12/1/2009
The best day spa I have been going to Bella Sante for almost a year, as soon as you get there your greeted by friendly hosts. Once you get inside it's relaxing and the massage is wonderful.

ONLY PLACE TO GET EYEBROWS DONE!! Alex Quiros.... That is the girl you need to see. If you want the eyebrows that everyone wants, then she is your girl. She is methodical, and takes her time. I am always amazed when it's over, and I look in the mirror. It's like a mini face lift!!
Not only that, but the facials are amazing as well. The best part of the facial is the massage of my neck and shoulders.
Such a pretty place, an... Read More On Citysearchcurshaw 9/2/2009

Absolutely Amazing I've made it a tradition to treat myself to a visit to Bella Sante every year on my birthday. Unfortunately, this year, I got a sweet boot on my car the morning of my appointment. Thanks, Somerville. When I called to let the spa know I would be late because I had to find alternate transportation, they were extremely accommodating. Everyone expressed sympathy when I got there and on my way out, no... Read More On CitysearchNova7064 8/7/2009
Fantastic Facial I visted Bella Sante for a Spa Facial this past weekend. The facial was fantastic My skin was glowing and still looks and feels great.

I recommend trying her and she's definitely has a new customer in me! Read More On CitysearchAlli6 1/20/2009
ALEX at Bella Sante--- SHE IS GREAT! I have been going to Bella Sante for a while now and I LOVE it. I would highly recommend Alex! She does a great job everytime I visit.

Average Spa--Pedicure Experience from Hell I decided to indulge myself in the $60 basic pedicure at Bella Sante on Newbury today during my week off from work. I had a $100 giftcard and was ready for some pampering.
I was horrified at the experience that took place for the hour that I surrendered myself to the "SPECIALIST" pedicurist. The spa pedicure was a quick 30 min tops, not the 60 min "miracle treatment" as promised. The pedicur... Read More On CitysearchMajshy 10/29/2008

I had a Bella facial with Jackie and my skin looked and felt great.

I can't wait to go again! Bella Sante in Wellesley is a haven of relaxation. Walking into the spa, I immediately begin to feel my stress diminish - the atmosphere is calm and inviting, the changing room/shower area is always exceptionally clean, and the services are always first rate.

Fantastic spot- must visit! Today I had a nice experience. I don't typically take the time to say 'thank you' to a business...but I feel it necessary to take a moment and express gratitude to the folks at Bella Sante.

OVer-priced, Over-hyped I received a gift card here for two facials. I regularly get facials and have experienced many Boston facials as well as facials within the Boston suburbs. I was very disappointed with Bella Sante. I found the front desk staff to be VERY unorganized which added a high element of chaos to what was suppose to be a relaxing experience. The staff were clearly distracted and on personal phone call... Read More On CitysearchShaSC 5/20/2008
Horrible manicure I have been to several places in Boston for manicures and this was by far the worst experience. I got there 10 minutes early as they ask and had to wait about ten minutes into my appointment. The waiting would not have bothered me (as it was only ten minutes) however the manicurist rushed through the appointment. She gave me literally five seconds to pick out a color! The hand massage part was no... Read More On Citysearchlakupi 5/16/2008
Worst Manicure Went to Bella Sante for a day of beauty a week ago. The massage, facial and other services I got were fabulous but when it came to the manicure- I was beyond disappointed. The woman who did my nails painted my whole finger (literally) and spent all of the time cleaning up her mistakes. Far too expensive for such poor quality- you are better going off somewhere else for a manicure! Read More On CitysearchCindyTee 4/26/2008
Awesome waxing! I have gone to Bella Sante for a variety of services from the bronzing treatment to waxing and I have had a great experience each time.

So-So I went to Bella Sante recently for a massage. The receptionist told me my treatment was supposed to begin in one minute, so if I didn't want to cut things short I needed to get changed really quickly, which I did. After I came out of the changing room I wound up waiting for a few more minutes (not a huge deal) before my masseuse (sp?) came to get me. The massage was decent, not earth shattering, ...

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde My mom and I went for a girl?s day out. We got massages followed by facials. During my entire 50-minute massage there were noises penetrating the room. It was very distracting and hard to relax. Then when it was time for my facial it was amazing. The room was quite, music relaxing, and the treatment was great. I felt like I went to two different spas. Why couldn't the massage have been as ... Read More On Citysearchbecknuts 4/3/2007
Beware the product sales pitch My girlfriend has been going here regularly, and likes the spa services a lot. The last couple times she bought some products after she was told she that if she didn't like them after a couple weeks, she could return them.

A wonderful facial I was really not expecting too much when I made my appt. with Bella Sante.

A bit of everything. + Strange Cult like music?? I frequent Bella Sante Lexington. I will say the place usually gives me a chance to relax with peaceful music & surroundings (I'm a mom!).
