Indulgence Day Spa

I have been going to Indulgence Day Spa for eyelash extensions. They look so natural and beautiful that I am constantly getting compliments and requests on where I have them done. I have gone to spas for quite a long time and for various services. However this spa impresses me every time I go there. As soon as I arrive I am greeted by all the employees. As soon as I check in I am offered refreshments and engaged in pleasant conversations. I feel like part of the family. Not only are the employees wonderful but the spa is designed with such class. I am so impressed every time I go there. There are different areas for different services which make it so relaxing. Not only does the spa look awesome but also it is so clean and sanitary which made me feel even more comfortable and happy that I became a regular customer. They are right on top of all the services and newest techniques. Thank you for always making me feel special when I am there.

Loved my facial with Brenda. Was booked with her by chance and will definitely return.

I searched for months to find someone in MA who could do a decent pink & white (originally had them done in Maine) and after a few rushed, sloppy jobs where my nails turned yellow, I was SO HAPPY to find Indulgence Day Spa! Laurel does a beautiful job with my nails!
It’s a small, but nice setup and your appointments fly by because there’s a TV quietly playing and the staff speaks with you and makes sure you enjoy the visit. I am used to sitting quietly for an hour or longer zoning out, but this spa is a nice combination of relaxing and enjoying conversations with people.
The other day Laurel squeezed me in (reschedule) and was able to do a complete pink & white fill in 30 minutes and it looks as beautiful as every other time. If you are looking for a clean spa and want beautiful nails, go here because you won’t be disappointed.

So I went back to Indulgence to prep for my wedding. I did a trial run spray tan with Makayla (again, spelling?) and it went very well! She was very informative and guided me through the process. Be forewarned, you’re naked in front of someone so get over that if you want this service. Makayla also did my waxing a week later, underarm and brazilian. This chick is FAST! She’s great at making conversation too, which helps distract you from the blinding pain.
What I was really impressed with was how Makayla took the time, after my trial spray tan, to help me figure out how I should book all of my beauty appointments and in which order. She gives you tips to make the spray tan last, and made sure the spray tan I booked for my wedding was with someone who would deliver the same exact result (since she wasn’t available). Laurel did the tan for my wedding and it looked great! And the price is just right ($ 35).
My advice for the best spray tan is to book it in the morning (on a day off), shower the night before and use a good scrub to exfoliate. You want your scrub to have no moisturizers or oils (Bath & Body makes a great salt scrub for this purpose in their Blue Spa line). Don’t moisturize after your shower!!! Your skin has all night to dry and get out the extra moisture. Wear lose fitting clothes (that you don’t care about) after the tan (they might stain a little). You can’t shower for 8 hours after you get sprayed, and you will look kind of dark, so be prepared to kind of look a little silly for the day (that’s why I suggest doing it on a day off).

I recently started going to Laurel for the gel polish manicures and couldn’t be happier. They usually last for 2 weeks, however, the last manicure lasted a full 3 weeks! There was no chipping or peeling at all. The removal process is gentle and even includes a parrafin wax hand treatment. Also, the eye brow waxes are the best I’ve had at any salon.

Had an excellent spa pedicure today! They are thorough and efficient. I love the selection of colors to pick from and if your having trouble choosing the staff is always pleased to assist. My feet and legs don’t even feel like they are attached to my body. Heaven on earth. Move over chain nail spa’s!

a bikini wax isnt supposed to be fun but macayla (spelled wrong??) is so quick that it is bearable! she talks through it making it a heck of a lot less awkward too!
got my eyebrows done here too and they always come out great!
staff is not pushy to sell products but will tell you what you need if you ask!

I got a bikini wax here. Not the greatest. She went very fast, which was good, I guess, but a little more painful than I would have liked, but nothing out of the ordinary. She was very very nice, however, and made everything as un-​awkward as it can be. Also, the place was very nice, clean, and modern.

I love Indulgence Day Spa! I’ve been a «regular» at the spa for about 10 yrs now until I moved to NH. I tried to find a spa in my area that measured up but no such luck. The services here are fantastic & the staff are all very nice & professional. So I’m back again as a happy regular! The commute for me is a bit far, but it is well worth it!
The treatments/​services I’ve used at the spa include:
~Waxing: They do the BEST eyebrow shaping. My brows always look perfect after leaving the spa. I actually get complimented on my brows all the time!
~Swedish massage: Excellent massages, especially if you need help with a target area that is sore. My issue was with my back. I always felt so much better after getting a massage and they even introduced me to a product called China Gel which is a miracle cream for sore muscles!
~Facials: I have *very* sensitive skin and have had bad reactions to facials at other spa/​salons. Their GM Collin line doesn’t irritate my skin.
~Manicure/​Pedicure: They offer a wide range of mani/​pedi options which I love because I can choose if I want to get really pampered with a spa pedi w/​all the extras, or if I want just a quick touch up.
In a nut shell, I definitely recommend this spa. You will feel very welcomed & «at home» while there, and leave feeling refreshed, pampered & pretty!

I got acrylic nails here and not only was the atmosphere abominable but the technician did a horrible job. They did not fit and were poorly adhered. I had an allergic reaction to the nail glue and ruined my nails for almost two years. I was not even warned about the damage it would do to my nails and was over-​charged. I called to complain and was treated quite rudely.

I used the gift certificate I had received from the manager of Indulgence Day Spa over the summer, following an awful experience that I had, and I’m pleased to report that my return visit was a hundred times better.
My esthetician, Joyce, was pleasant and friendly – but not too chit-​chatty. She really let me sink into my cozy little cocoon and just chill out. Joyce was gentle and thorough and knows how to offer advice without sounding preach-​y or sales-​y. Always appreciated! The massage elements of the facial were sublime, and she spent a fair amount of time kneading out the kinks in my shoulders.
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised to have such a good experience this time around. I could definitely see myself coming back here – and the facials are right on par, cost-​wise, with other local day spas.
If you’re headed over here, I definitely recommend Joyce for your facial. (And if you can’t get an appointment with Joyce, I recommend that you ask for another nonsmoking esthetician.)
One final note: Indulgence has daily specials, Monday through Friday, that are worth checking out. For example, on Fridays you can get a free brow wax with any facial appointment. That’s pretty cool!

i had the BEST bikini wax i’ve ever had here. I’ve tried a lot of places in the greater boston area, and was never really satisfied. This was not very painful, and i really felt like they got the job done, and got it done well. I haven’t gotten any other services from here, but the bikini wax is great!

I’m still searching for a great manicurist to do my artificial nails. Indulgence will make a nice fallback if I don’t find something better.
I had an appointment with Laurel for my acrylic fill (I think she’s the owner). She’s nice… but her personality is a bit intense for me. I like to relax while I get my nails done, and there was no relaxing while she wanted to talk. My nails seem pretty good shape-​wise, but the polish is already starting to chip (it’s only been 3 days), so I doubt it will last 2 weeks. And she used OPI polish and Selche Vite topcoat too — weird, that usually lasts a long time.
My biggest complaint is that the entire nail area STUNK TO HIGH HEAVEN from the chemicals. Has no one heard about ventilation? If you’re going to be doing acrylic nails — and have 4 pedicure and 4 nail stations in such a small area, you need STRONG ventilation. Definitely not there.
I also had Beth, an aesthetician, give me a brow wax while I was there. The treatment room was very nice — quiet, calming, comfortable, and no smelly fumes. She was very nice and calm and gentle and did a great job. I’d definitely go back to her. And I’m thinking about getting a facial from her.

FYI… my recent review of this place magically disappeared. I had described this place as giving very bad manis and pedis. I took my friend here for her birthday and we expected to relax but instead we heard yapping between the two who gave us our manis and pedis — the entire time. My nails weren’t filed well so they started chipping the next day and my friends feet were sore all week because they cut in so deep. I really don’t recommend this place at all. If you want a relaxing experience, stay away.

I just wanted to point out that parking is an hour for each quarter, not 15 minutes for each quarter. I have lived in Lexington for my entire life and I know this for a fact. The only place where half an hour costs a quarter is on the 30 minute limit meters. Indulgence is a nice place. I haven’t been there in a while, therefore I don’t feel like writing a review on it, but I just felt the need to clarify the parking meters situation.

I would give this spa five stars if I was just reviewing the facial. It was relaxing, lasted a long time and I got a bunch of skin care tips in the process.
The body wrap is good if you enjoy epidermal scraping. That’s sort of the point, it just wasn’t exactly soothing, especially considering the room was cold and I couldn’t stand having even one toe out from under the blanket.
I didn’t get to the mani/​pedi portion of the Deluxe Indulgence package I ordered weeks in advance because the mani/​pedi woman had her eyes dilated that morning — and she didn’t realize she wouldn’t be able to see. She said she would still paint my nails, as she looked at me through squinting eyes. I declined her offer.
Finally, the receptionist charged me the individual rates for the facial and body wrap. Granted, I would have paid for the facial, but I would not have ordered the wrap if it wasn’t included in that package. After a brief discussion, she calculated the correct amount and I departed with my bag of full-​priced facial cleansers. I couldn’t resist — the facial was that good.
All of those problems may have been situational, but one negative that’s not going away is the parking. I booked the package at this particular spa because I intended to spend several hours relaxing in a place where I’d be able to avoid parking/​commuting hassles. However, the municipal lot they use required me to move my car every two hours. So, during my body wrap, I was told that the receptionist could feed the meter for me once or twice (15 minutes per quarter), but I’d still have to leave soon to move my car. What should I have done at that moment? Say, ok, let me go take care of that now? I’ll just bring this big blanket with me? I was there in an attempt to leave my cares behind. Once I was told I’d have to move my car, it stuck with me until I conceded… I’ll just get a ticket… whatever… I’m at a spa. Thankfully I didn’t get the ticket, but that’s one distractiton they should try to avoid presenting to customers. Can’t they make a deal to reserve a certain number of spots in the lot? Hand out get-​out-​of-​ticket-​free cards to clients or something?

This place is great. Great manis and pedis (have not had any other spa services there.) Great prices and genuinely nice staff with no attitude… truly relaxing experience every time without the hassle of Back Bay.
