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 pedicurist was snippy with me from the moment I greeted her and to be frank I could not understand what the heck she was even saying. During our time together she managed to soak my feet in cold water, shoot me dirty looks especially when looking at the bottom of my heel after my cold water soak and to my request to cut my nails shorter. She completely skipped the massage part of the service, jumping from the loobing of my leg/foot to quickly whipping it off with a towel. oh and here's the best part. They don't have foot dryers so after slapping on some polish, she sat me in the waiting room and left. I have had better service for $20 at a local salon. The main reason that I am so turned off is that my spa professional had a real air about her, she made me feel guilty that my old polish was still on, that I dry skin and that I took her up on her offer to bring me a cup of tea. I was majorly disappointed. I was so excited about my spa day, and instead found myself thrilled to finally breathe some relief when the elevator doors closed upon my exit. I have $40 left on my card and will hope to redeem it at another location. PS. you can't tip on the gift card.
Pros: clean
Cons: snippy staff, no parking, pricey for poor service

Wow! This was my first time to the Wellesley location and I was swept away with the tranquil setting and luxurious treatments! So many spas are stuffy but the people at Bella Sante make everyone feel like a VIP...My facial with Beverly was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! She is extremely knowledgable and the added touch of a foot massage sets this spa above the rest! Gerda's massage is like NO other you've experienced...THE BEST! I've always enjoyed the other 2 locations but to have this at my back door is heaven!!
Pros: Top notch services, soothing ambience and there's plenty of parking!
Cons: NONE
