G2O Spa & Salon

If you're looking to escape from the winter blues, head over to Guiliano Day Spa which specializes in treatments that make patrons feel like a million bucks. Specialty packages include wraps that could make you lose 10 lbs instantly, scrubs to even out skin tone, and hot stone massages to heal you physically and spiritually. Also excellent are the salon's hair stylists and spray tan applications. You will look like you've just come back from a vacation once you've spent a few hours inside this spa. This spa's aptmosphere is so aesthetically pleasing and relaxing that customers may forget they are in the middle of downtown Boston. Prices are reasonable (especially considering the area) and the staff is excellent. more

I went to Giuliano simply for a massage, and its location on Newbury St. was easy to get to. While waiting, I heard a group of women get called in for their "group pedicure," and I thought, 'What a fabulous idea! How many women have gone together to get pedicures, only to be separated because of other customers?' I thought it was great that Giuliano lets you book a pedicure together. The atmosphere of Giuliano is very peaceful, except having to use the elevator to get to your treatment area. It is not as spacious as many other spas, but still beautiful and luxurious. My massage did the trick but was nothing really out of the ordinary. The masseuse was willing really to listen to my areas of pain in my body and worked on those specifically. She did not talk during the massage except to tell me to turn over, which I appreciated. more

Giuliano Day Spa is probably the most well known and most popular day spa in the city. For my mother's 50th birthday, my siblings and I chipped in and bought her a full day of services at Giuliano, and I went along to keep her company. She was a bit nervous, as she never pampers herself and did not know what to expect. She loved it!! The staff was extremely professional, respectful and understanding that it was a very significant day for my mother - you could tell they were trying hard to make it special for her. They were friendly, but not too chatty or intrusive. Every service seemed great, from the full body massage, to the manicure and pedicure, to the hair style and makeup application! We enjoyed the spa lunch as well. She left very happy and so relaxed she wanted to take a nap! :) more
