Skin Innovations Spa

. 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

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!

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

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

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

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.
My skin has improved dramatically and it is a result of the services that I received at Skin Innovations!

Pros: Extremely knowledgable and friendly professionals!

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.

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!

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!).
The massages I've received at Skin Innovations have been so therapeutic. The masseuse is extremely knowledgeable about the human body and how it works. She has been working with me to relieve the back, shoulder, and hip pain that I have from the stresses of every day life. After receiving a massage, I feel like a completely different person. She has even spent more time working on my body when I've needed it so she could help me as much as possible. Skin Innovations is amazing and I highly recommend it to anyone! The attentive service and calming atmosphere simply add to the beneficial treatments that they offer. I've heard such great things about Sophia's facials that I am making an appointment for that service next!

Pros: amazing massage and hair removal, clean and calming atmosphere, great customer service

Cons: none

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.

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!

Pros: great staff, natural products and knowledgeable service

I don't review spas ever, but I absolutely love this place and felt compelled!
Have been there twice and received two different signature treatments and both were fantastic. The facilities were clean with a modern feel Very relaxing. It may not look like much from the front, but once you're inside you forget that you are sitting right next to a busy freeway.Try pampkin peel wit hfacial OMG you will follow love wit hyour skin in instant .Very informative so just listen
If you live in the area this is a great place to have a little relaxing get away for a few hours. . Much more personality.
My only regret is that I can not afford to come here more often.

Pros: parking ,cleaness,attention

Cons: don't find one yet

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

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!

Pros: Various treatments, Clean, Knowlagable
