Salon and Spa Directory: Glowbar on Newbury Street in Boston

Get ready to glow! During my last trip to Boston, I experienced a treatment at Glowbar on Newbury Street. What an absolute delight!

I felt like I was immediately whisked away to a delightful oasis the moment I stepped through the door. Even though this location is on busy Newbury Street, it's so calm and refreshing inside — I immediately forgot about all the hustle and bustle steps away!

Upon arrival, you check in on an iPad at reception.

The space is large, airy, and bright. Love the pops of orange.

After I checked in on the convenient iPads at reception, I was led to the Wash Bar. I think this is an interesting way to begin the appointment — you're responsible for cleansing your skin before meeting with your facialist. I haven't usually needed to do that, but actually enjoyed making sure my skin was good and clean before the treatment.

You begin by cleansing your skin at the Wash Bar.

Once my skin was good and cleansed, I waited for my esthetician in a little nook off the front area. She came to retrieve me and lead me to my treatment room. From there, the magic really began!

Each treatment at Glowbar is 30 minutes. That sounds short — but wow, do those 30 minutes pack a major punch for your skin! My esthetician put together a customized facial just for my skin type and concerns.

Since it was wintertime, my skin was SUPER dry and flaky. My treatment focused on hydration with a light chemical peel to slough off dead skin and a super hydrating mask. My esthetician also performed light extractions to remove buildup around my nose and chin.

After only 30 minutes, my skin was GLOWING. Not surprising, since this is Glowbar, after all! I seriously couldn't believe how much better my skin looked in such a short amount of time. And of course I had to snap a photo with their signature mirror to show off the radiance. Not to mention I was smiling from ear to ear for DAYS.

I couldn't stop smiling after my Glowbar facial.

 
Consider this my plea for Glowbar to come to the West Coast immediately if not sooner!
