  9. 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...

  10. 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...

  11. 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.

  12. 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!

  13. 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. Ashli is the best, she is sweet and knows exactly how to make you feel better. It's the best spa I've been too.

  15. 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...

  18. 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...

  19. 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 had specifically requested Jackie P. based upon a review that she received on City Search and I am so glad that I did. She was very knowledgeable and professional. I recommend trying her and she's definitely has a new customer in me!

  20. 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. She pays great attention to detail when she does my brows and other wax jobs. I may complain about the price but it is totally WORTH it. I promise you, ASK FOR ALEX and YOU WILL LOVE IT TOO.

  21. 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...

    Wow! This was my first time to the Wellesley location and I was swept away with the tranquil setting and luxurious treatments!

  23. BELLA SANTE ON NEWBURY!!
    I came to Bella Sante and from start to finish, the customer service was AMAZING. I felt like a celebrity!! I had a Bella facial with Jackie and my skin looked and felt great. Although she looks young (I didn't ask), she knows her stuff and seems experienced- she even gave me secrets to caring for my skin at home. I hate extractions but it wasn't bad, besides, the pampering made up for it bi...

Her name is beverly and i was so relaxed and informed all at the same time... as i was put under the steam, she offered me a foot rub or a head rub, i took the head, and it made me go to lala land.... other places just leave you as the steam works, but not here....

    I go to all 3 locations and find all of them to be fabulous. The desk staff are always helpful and happy to see me when I arrive and treat me well as I leave. I've never had a bad experience in the 8 years that I've been frequenting Bella Sante...and I've been to other day spas in NYC and destination spas all over the country.

    I've been to the Spa on Newbury before and absolutely loved it so I was anxious to see if they could duplicate the experience at the new spa in Wellesley. It was incredible!!! The first thing I saw was a gorgeous water wall in the reception area, so serene. So beautiful and clean. Everyone was very nice and so knowledgeable about their products. I had an incredible facial, Carita, and a 90 minute...

  27. 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. I have had four different massage therapists and they have all been great and all with their own particular strengths (eg when I need deep ...

    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. Everyone was warm and inviting....the space was sparkeling clean and the Spa Director even took a moment to introduce himself to me!! I felt like I was a movie star.....like I was their only guest. I had a Ca...

  29. 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...

  30. 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...

  31. 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!

  32. 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. They are highly professional and the products they use are fantastic- esp. the wax- they are the most pain-free I have ever had (and I have had plenty). My only issue has been having to wait a few minutes during a busier time of year- such as during the holiday...

  34. 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, ...

  35. 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 ...

  36. 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. This most recent visit, she bought a whole line of a product, including some foul tasting vitamin powder. She couldn't even drink a single serving of it, but said, "no probl...

    After having my hair done at Runway Salon, I decided to go across the street to Bella Sante to have a facial and massage. What a fabulous experience for me.

  38. A wonderful facial
    I was really not expecting too much when I made my appt. with Bella Sante. The spa Violet on Newbury St had awesome reviews on this site and my massage there was nothing to write home about. However, Andrea's facial was really great. Her facial massage were just awesome and her whole experience with her was worth the $90. Highly recommended!

  40. 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!). But recently I had a massage late in the evening. It was an average massage but I was relaxed until the music (usually pan flute, birds, water) became faster and suddenly I realized I was hearing a deep male voice speaking within the music. I don't know what h...

    The Bella Sante salon and spa will leave patrons feeling relaxed, invigorated, or just plain beautiful. They specialize in luxury pampering treatments with an eye to current trends and the latest happenings in the beauty world.

    This is a great place for a day of pampering. Granted the prices are a bit extravagant but if you can afford to splurge a bit on yourself for a day of relaxation, then it is definitely well worth it. I had a massage here not too long ago and it was 80 minutes of pure heavenly bliss.

    Bella Sante is an amazing Spa in Boston. My sister and I try to go here at least once a year. The spa services are amazing. The pampering is awesome. The staff makes you feel so welcome, and treats you like royalty. Unfortunately, they are very expensive as compared to other spas-- Which is why my sister and I only go once a year.
