Christine's has the best brazilians in Boston and everyone that works there is really friendly. I have seen Suzanne a number of times and she does a great job. She is always very gentle, efficient, and outgoing. I highly recommend going to Christine's for a wax before vacation (or anytime really)! Pros: Amazing brazilians

I've been going to Christine's for years and couldn't be happier with the place. The staff is first class and the atmopshere is warm and friendly. I go regularly for electrolysis, microdermabrasion, facials and massage, and love all the services I get. If you want a "factory" this isn't the place for you - it has a family-like feel to it that is very inviting. I highly recommend it!

I recently moved here and went into Christine's to "check it out" and I loved it! The woman at the front desk was such a delight to talk to and she made me feel very comfortable. She even got one of the Aestiticians to speak with me about my skin and the products that they use and sell. I made an appointment for a facial and cannot wait to go back and be pampered!! Thanks Christine's Pros: Friendly staff, relaxing and comfortable atmosphere

I had a wonderful day off recently at Christine's Day Spa. My services included a facial, massage, manicure and pedicure. My facial with Maria was relaxing while she informed me on the best treatments for my skin type for the summer. Nuala gave me an outstanding massage. I've never felt so good. I finished with a manicure and pedicure with Bernadette who was so friendly. I usually go to Newbury St. but it was nice to find the quality and down to earth atmosphere at Christine's. Thanks for making my day so special and I will be back soon for more pampering. Pros: Great Atmosphere

I have been going to Christine's for about two years for electrolysis and really liked it there. The staff was always friendly and professional. They lost their best electrologist, Peg, about a year ago and unfortunately the service has really suffered since then. I have not been seen one time for an appointment since she left. I usually go for about 5 minutes and have to wait anywhere from 10 minutes to a half hour to be seen. (This is quite unfair as they will charge you if you miss an appointment.) I have finally reached my limit with this poor service. I am paying them $21 + tip for 5 minutes of service and they unapologetically delay my schedule each visit. The last time I was there I arrived early, waited 15 minutes after my 5 scheduled minutes had come and gone, and then asked the receptionist what the situation was because I had to be somewhere. She said that the client prior to me was 20 minutes late for her 30 minute appointment, so everyone was delayed. I expressed that I could not wait any more and thought it was very unfair to not call me, not inform me, and make me wait for someone else's tardiness. There was no apology, no phone call, nothing to make amends. I can see once in a while being off track, but this is a consistent problem that they apparently have no intention of resolving. So I am going elsewhere because, if they haven't noticed, there are other electrologists. Pros: skilled electrologist Cons: bad scheduling, always late

I went to Christine's for a half day of beauty (massage, facial and mani/pedi). I was very impressed with the facial I received from Lana. She was very friendly and made the facial very relaxing. The massage had to be the worst I ever had in my life (with Nuala). I get massages at least once a month and this was terrible. It felt more like a rub down than a massage. The therapist asked where my trouble areas were and then proceeded not to focus on them. I felt more tense than before I got it...there were no techniques. It seemed she was very inexperienced. I moved on to a pedicure (Jackie). It was nothing but a 30 second Salt scrub with polish. She pushed back the cuticles and that was it. No scrubbing of the bottom of my foot. I felt like I could have done the same thing at home (definitely not worth $56). I had been to Christines in the past and was always impressed by how friendly and professional everyone was but this visit on a busy Saturday was very disappointing, enough to never go back there again. I wrote to management over a week ago and still no response. Christine's is a little cheaper than most spas and I think it shows in their "light" services. If you like to get massages and quality pedicures, I would go elsewhere. Pros: facials, friendly staff Cons: poor massage and pedicures

After reading all the great reviews of this place, I was psyched to make an appointment for their advertised "Mother to Be" massage. It sounded great. I was totally disappointed. Despite listing a pre-natal massage in their list of options, they do not have a special "tummy table" for expectant mothers. When I told the secretary that they should note this in their listing since many people assume this is a standard feature of a pre-natal massage, she said they only tell women they don't have the table if they specifically ask when booking the appointment! Even though I told my therapist ahead of time that my hips were stiff, she didn't even touch those muscles. She also didn't do my hamstrings or the rest of the back of my legs. On the rest of the massage, I didn't find her to be a particularly skilled massage artist. Since they didn't have the special table, I had to lay on my side for half of the massage. Definitely far less effective than being on your stomach. The therapist was appologetic when I brought up my concerns about my hips and legs in the lobby, but made no offer to correct the situation. (She abruptly left at the end of the massage, so I couldn't bring it up while still in the room.) I've written a letter to management, so we'll see if they can resolve this matter effectively.

I have been to Christine's for a Brazilian wax a handful of times. While somewhat expensive, the staff is extremely professional and make even the most squeamish of patrons feel very comfortable. Plus, they reduce the pain of waxing by using wax that hardens on your skin rather than waxing using cloth strips. Overall, they make the experience of waxing as comfortable as possible.

I go here to get my eyebrows done; they use a green hard wax that doesn't need strips. It is way less painful then anywhere else I have been. I just got a gift certificate here and I can't wait to try their other services! Pros: friendly staff, amazing service, nice atmosphere Cons: kind of expensive
