Ultimate Spa by Adela

I just like to respond to this offensive review by Sarah. I’ve been using the services from ultimate spa for the past 3 years, and I NEVER HAD A problem with scheduling or appointments. Adela and Flavia are always on time and always trying to giving me the time I need.
I thing you Sarah are a bad reviewer and are trying to make the spa looks bad.
If you don’t have anything good to say about the services that you DID NOT HAVE please, keep your bad opinion to yourself!
So people don’t consider this bad review.
Adela is a small business and she is in the area for the past 10 years, that says it.all.

My boyfriend and I bought a groupon for a 60 min massage here. We were able to book a last minute couples massage on Valentine’s Day which was nice! The massage was unreal, place is very clean and cozy. Will definitely be coming back!

I am a construction guy who deals a lot with dirt and dust and often I need to have a facial to rejuvenate and clean my skin so to speak. Adela’s Spa is a very comfortable and relaxing environment. I have tried several locations over the last few yrs and this is by far the best (I fall asleep almost every time). I cannot say enough positive things about Adela, she is a true professional in every sense.

I got 2 hot stone massages because I saw a deal on groupon. I called before purchasing the groupon to make sure there was a good appointment window for me. Adela was very nice, and I purchased two massages straight through her.
My girlfriend and I showed up on time. The place does not look super fancy but it does not look ratchet by any means. The massages were both amazing, my girlfriend and I both fell asleep on the bed multiple times. The music was great, the hands were great and the stones felt amazing. Would return.

I moved to Melrose a couple of months ago and went to Ultimate Spa by Adela as I just saw the place while passing by. I got their phone number and called to make an appointment. I asked about the price for a Brazilian wax and she told me it was $ 40.
Well, the place is definitely NOT a spa, but a dark ugly room stuffed with all kinds of things and an ugly microwave just next to the bed. The waxing was just ok.
When I was finished and wanted to make the payment, she told me it was $ 45. I asked why the price changed… as she told me over the phone that it was $ 40 but she just didn’t know what to say and tried to make smth up. BADDD!!!
I gave her $ 50 and she didn’t even bother to give me a change. That woman is rude!!! If and how much I want to tip dear lady, is up to ME!!! You can’t just filch the money like that without even asking!!!
Of courseeee I’m never everrrrrrrrr going back!!!

Adela is a godsend. I decided last minute to treat myself yesterday to a Brazilian wax and she was extremely accommodating on getting me in there so short notice. I have never gotten one before and upon getting to the spa i was very nervous but Adela calmed those nerves right away. Her rooms are clean and well kept and she is just such a professional and did an amazing job. I will definitely be back here!

The good: The woman who did my stone massage was good, and had a very personable disposition. The bad: It did take awhile to get an appointment. My facial was ok. I do enjoy a steam and longer extraction. Everyone at the business was very nice, professional, and fun.

I purchased 2 groupons for a massage, pedicure & facial. I called 2 months before expiration to schedule an appt. it took 2 weeks for Adela to return my call and then she was angry that I waited so long to book & was put out that I could only come on a Saturday
When I bought the groupon it was advertised «Mondays by appt only» so I thought I could do that but I was now told. Mondays closed. So that left Saturday
I finally got an appt & when I arrived I was told i wasn’t on the schedule.
At this point i just wanted out of this deal.
I purchase a lot groupons, some have led me to places that i like very much & still frequent.
Luckily groupon refunded me.

I have been going to Adela for years, ever since my boyfriend bought me a gift certificate. The place is very unassuming from the outside and is not in Melrose Center, so may get overlooked but I feel very comfortable there.
I now get facials every 6 – 8 weeks and after years of hating my skin, actually have had people compliment me on it, including my sister who has seen me at my worst! I never realized this was something that you needed to do frequently to get the benefit.
Adela knows her stuff and always will comment on my skin, on whether it’s looking sensitive and will change what she does that day based on how it looks. She gives awesome massages of your face on to your shoulders and then once she puts a mask on, she massages your hands and arms… heavenly!!! She will then bag your hands and put them into hot mitts to get a deep moisturizing treatment.
Because I go frequently, the extraction part (which I like the least) is very minimal.
I recommend Adela and love supporting a small, local business and getting to know her. Prices are more than reasonable too!

The best!!! I went here for my first Brazilian and Adela made me feel very comfortable and she did a great job. Her salon is very clean and professional. I’ve moved out of state since and I can’t find anyone as good as her!

I purchased a facial and paraffin wax through a groupon deal and scheduled an appointment a few days later. I made my way over on a Saturday morning for a 9am facial. I’ve driven by this place so many times and always wanted to try it and finally did!!! I got there a bit early and was chatting with Flavia, Adela’s massage therapist and she was super sweet. Adela was doing my facial and as soon as she came in we chatted a bit and then went into the room. I had an hour long facial with extractions and it was great and something I definitely need. They use dermalogica products which I’m also a fan of because my skin is super sensitive. Adela was amazing and did such a great job on my skin I totally saw the glow in my face as soon as I looked in the mirror.
The room I had my facial in was super cute and cozy and relaxing music was playing, which is key!
As I I was leaving the room I asked if I could do the paraffin wax with a manicure and was going to schedule it at a later date and she was totally fine with it. I made an appt for that following Friday. I had a mani w/​paraffin wax and pedi and it was really nice. I was the only one there and it was exactly what I needed. Quiet and cozy spot to get my services. It is now Monday and my nails have not chipped yet!!! LOVE IT.
My entire experience here was pretty amazing. From the cleaniess of the salon, friendly employees, free parking lot and great services. If you live around Malden/​Melrose area I would definitely try this place out. Can’t wait to go back and get a massage and another facial. This place is way better than Boston salons and the prices aren’t too shabby.

Adela is a wonderful woman very friendly, warm and inviting. I have had waxes, massages, and facials. She always is willing to squeeze me in somehow on not too much notice. Yesterday on 2−15−14 a saturday I treated my girlfriend to a massage and Adela came through for me it was a valentines day gift. I called her about 2 hours prior and she had us come in at 12:30. Adela if you read this I want to thank you again I always appreciate your work and professionalism. My girlfriend left feeling relaxed and you some how got all her knots out in that massage. One more thing I love that this place is in melrose a great area to shop and eat ect… very accessible.

I was on a search for waxing services nearby that was not only good price-​wise but also reliable. Found this place through these Unilocal reviews and called for a same-​day appointment with less than 2 hours notice. Adela picked up and was able to take me in that same day. It was my first wax in a long time so she made sure to engage in small talk because I forgot how much it hurt! Adela is a very sweet woman and enjoyed our conversation. Will definitely be returning again!

Adela is awesome!
Her place is calm, clean, and relaxing. She pays very close attention to what she’s doing and always does an amazing job! Her prices are pretty much the best around. Will definitely be back. I highly recommend her.

May I just say ladies: WOW.
Adela is amazing. Hands down best Brazilian wax I have ever had. She is quick, gentle, and most importantly VERY thorough. So thorough in fact, that when she was done waxing she got in there to pluck out the suckers that were still clinging on for dear life.
Did I also mention that it was ONLY $ 40!!! YES. FORTY. DOLLARS. She accepts credit cards too, which is always a plus for me since I hardly ever have cash on me.
I highly recommend Adela for waxes. She is super friendly and makes you feel at ease. I will most definitely be going back, and would like to also try some of her other services.

Adela is gentle and quick. Brazilian wax in 15 minutes, fully complete. She is great and underpriced. Her room is spa like and inviting and relaxing.

I’m not one to blindly go into a new spa or hairdresser without a personal reference, but I got a gift card for my birthday to Ultimate Spa by Adella and immediately checked it out on Unilocal.After reading the reviews, all is true… but your satisfaction with this place will ultimately be determined by how important each piece is to you. Making an appointment was easy, I found parking on the street easy (there is a 2 hour zone on Main St.), Adella was incredibly sweet, the little dog Pedro is adorable, no pressure to buy products, the atmosphere is comfortable and the space is maximized to its fullest without feeling cluttered, she was running late, but in the end, I received a relaxing massage.

Adela made me feel like a regular customer. I felt rejuvenated and relaxed after a massage, a facial, a mani and pedi. I highly recommend her services.

I set up a massage and facial for my friend and I to celebrate her birthday. I had an appointment at 6:00pm and was told we could both go at the same time.
The next day, I arrived on time to find out that she had not staffed enough people and would not be able to get to us. I asked her why she didn’t call me earlier to let me know and she had no excuse. I found this completely inconsiderate and took my business to Lexington at the Belle Santa spa and had a wonderful visit!

OK Unilocalers– let’s get off food for a second and get onto a quick discussion about the va-​hoo-​hoo.
I will admit, before a few months ago I had never gotten a Brazilian Wax. Finally a couple of friends of mine, who have been getting them for years, talked me into it. I went to Ultimate Day Spa by Adela and my hoo-​ha and I have never been happier!
Adela is a lovely woman with the most adorable spanish accent. She makes you feel completely comfortable, and is totally professional. She is also quick, and way less expensive than other places. Her price is set to keep you coming back and make her a part of your regular routine. And it works for me!
This spa will also provide you with a numbing spray! Adela loves us!
I have now gone back 4 times and keep getting happier. It also gets way easier after your first one. Adela is full of tips and tricks for the care of your Brazilian wax. I am very addicted to them now. I truly LOVE the landscape of Brazil!
I will also inform you that this place is very clean! Adela is very hygienic and as long as you follow her advice about the wax, you will experience no issues after!
