Tucked away in a bank building, this gym is alright for women who want to get a break from the office for a quick lunch workout. A lot of the women I work with have memberships here and they are happy with it. When I went to this gym, however, I felt like there was not much to do. There are lunch time classes which is great but some of the instructors are really overbearing and annoying. Staff in the office are pleasant but your not sure if they are just trying to sell you the membership. The machines are the standard machines and can be difficult to get during the busy lunch hour.

Women's Fitness of Boston was my "starter gym" - I was terrified of gyms and hated to exercise. My coworker sent me here and it's a winner. Tucked into the basement of the Flatley Building on School Street (across from Borders), it has all the basic machines including treadmills, bikes, weight equipment, and ellipticals. There are classes every day during the week and the locker room is clean, if utilitarian. The guys who took over from the old owners are friendly and committed to keeping the place up - don't be skeptical that they're running a women's gym, they're awesome. The only downside here is that it's open only until 8pm, then until 1pm Saturday and closed Sunday. However, if you're the kind of person who works out before or after work, this will be perfect for you, and the price is usually right too.

I've been in Boston for a little over 3 years, and prior to going to Will Charles, had yet to find a hair stylist that I liked enough to go back to again. I had tried a handful of Newbury St salons, most of which were undeservedly over-priced. After hearing about Will Charles Salon from Groupon I decided to give it a try, but wasn't expecting much. Patrick cut my hair, and I was asking for a risky hair change that could have ended up disastrous given he had never cut my hair before. WOW, was I pleasantly surprised. He did exactly what I asked for and envisioned, and it was like he had been cutting my hair for years. I now have a super chic, stylish haircut that provokes nearly daily compliments and am more than happy to say that I've been back to Patrick....twice. I would pay more for his haircut and not think twice, but another great benefit is that haircuts are only $55.
Summary: the salon is the best on Newbury and Patrick rocks out uber-chic cuts!
Pros: great stylists, friendly but stylish atmosphere
Cons: none

The 5 star reviews and best facial awards you see on citysearch are for good reason. I have had a number of facilists and thi place by far is the best. My skin has finally found it's heaven. These ladies are extremely professional, yet unpretentious. They made me feel totally comfortable, and the results have been amazing!
Every single penny: worth it. I love that they don't push products. Get a couple of facials and you will be asking them what you need to maintain your beautiful, new skin. A few weeks after the deep pore cleaning facial it looked so good I wanted to stop by the office just to show it off. I was so excited and so grateful.
It's your responsibility to keep up your skin care. However, you should definitely leave deep maintenance to the pros to get and keep you on the right track. This is the place.
Pros: professional, attention to detail
Cons: none

Vassar has been in business for about six years. I followed my stylist
there from another salon. The stylists are indeed the owners, and they
are skilled and they listen. I've never before had such great, consistent
haircuts. The shop may be unisex and no frills, but that doesn't mean you
don't get a great hair style, in a warm, down to earth atmosphere.
I've recommended Linda and Diane to my colleagues and they
have become loyal clients too.
Try them. It's not Newbury Street, but just how much hype can you stand?

Located on the BU campus, this barbershop offers reasonable good haircuts at a decent price. It has changed since the veteran barber, Rocco, left, but there are still some good barbers that will give you a nice cut and maybe even remember your name. Cuts are 13 bucks plus tip. Not a bad deal for the ideal location.
