Villa Giovana Day Spa

This spa/salon is wonderful! Cynthia, the owner, did my and a friend's gel manicures this past weekend, and we loved chatting and getting to know her and her business. Our gel manicures turned out amazing, and I already scheduled my appointment in two weeks for my next gel manicure. She knew exactly how to treat my dry cuticles and short nails. With the friendly customer service and beautiful end product, I definitely recommend those seeking a quick, long-lasting, chemical-free, and reasonably priced gel manicure to call Villa Giovana Day Spa as soon as possible and schedule an appointment. I bought 3 gel manicures for $49 on Groupon, which is awesome! Can't wait to go back in 2 weeks, and thank you again, Cynthia, for the manicure! more

this place is fantastic. I could not believe that they do gel manicures without parabens, toluene, formaldehyde or other nasty chemicals, and they last for weeks. the place smells lovely not nasty when you walk in. my technician could not have been nicer and she explained various eco things that they do such as using biodegradable toe separators instead of foam, disposable liners in the pedicure bins instead of the whirlpool, and LED lighting to cure the gel instead of UVA which is the bad lighting in tanning spots. They also do many charity drives with eco companies. Not only that but I just purchased 6 gel manicures for $99 which is a really really low price. I could not be happier and I urge anyone reading this to patronize such a company that truly cares about their clients' health. more

I went to villa giovana day spa for a facial and i must say it was a great exsperciance the woman who performed the service was very smart she told me what products i should use and had those products on hand.i was very pleased to have been introuduced to that spa by a friend of mine.i would recommend this spa to anyone and everyone. more

I have a crazy schedule and it is hard for me to make appointments but they were very accomodating. I really appreciated their patience with me since I had to change my appointment two times. I had a coupon for a facial and because of my schedule I was not able to use it by the expiration date. They understood and were kind enough to extend the date so that I could still use it. When I went in for my facial I was equally impressed. The facial was incredible. It was to relaxing, just what I needed to ease the stress of my crazy schedule. more

A++ Very elegant atmosphere. Fantastic service. If you want VIP treatment this is the place!!! more

AMAZING SERVICE!!!! I highly recommend. I had the deluxe facial and I really enjoyed this service from start to finish. The staff is very professional and very polite. My esthetician was highly educated and gave a great massage. I will definately return. more

Today was a treat. I had a groupon for a facial and a gift card for a gel manicure and used them both. My face feels great and my once ugly hands are beautiful. She had many colors to chose from and I even bought the moisturizer she used! FYI: the spa sells Bioelements and she custom blended a bottle of face moisturizer with serums. I'm excited for my next facial! more

BEWARE! NOT WORTH THE PRICES AND GROUPON!\r \r I have really tried to make it work with this place. I purchased a groupon for three gel manicures. At first it took over a week of calling each day to schedule an appointment. I left messages each day and received no return calls. After a week of trying to catch someone, I did and I went in for my first gel manicure. \r \r The manicure didn't have any cuticle cutting, lotion, or hand massage. The worst part was that the gel only lasted 5 DAYS! \r \r I figured it was worth trying again since I had the groupon. I scheduled an appointment right before Christmas. I got a call the day before saying that the manicurist could not make my appointment because her sister had a baby and she needed to go to NYC, so I rescheduled for after Christmas. I got a call again the day before my appointment canceling due to pipes bursting. With these being legitimate reasons, I once again rescheduled for yesterday at 3:30. \r \r This time they called me the day before, but did not leave a message. I showed up to my appointment after driving 40 minutes to get there. The salon was locked, so I waited in the freezing cold for 15 minutes. At 3:40, no one showed up and I left very frustrated. \r \r Luckily Groupon has great customer service and will reimbursement for my troubles. \r \r Beware! NOT WORTH YOUR TROUBLES! more

I recieved a groupon for my birthday for a manicure. I must say it was the best experience I ever had. Cynthia was very knowledgable with what she was doing. Plus she she advised me on what products to use to help me have a healthier nail base. I am happy to had such an experience at Villa Giovana. Thank you! more

Fantastic Facial! My fiancee wanted us to get facials before the wedding so she bought me a Groupon for a deluxe facial. I didn't know what to expect and felt really awkward but Cynthia really made me feel at ease. I was running late and forgot to put money in my meter. Luckily, I got a spot out front. The receptionist must have seen me arrive and forget to put money in the meter. During my service, the receptionist put her own money in my meter so I wouldn't get a ticket. I have never written a review before but I really felt like I needed to. more

I got a gel manicure almost three weeks ago and it is still going strong! I am so impressed. I really appreciated that the manicurist took extra time to help me choose a color. She said they have over 70 shades! I cant wait to go back next week. I highly recommend this spa. If you want your gel manicure to last you will not be disappointed. more

I got a groupon for a gel manicure for my birthday and it was off the hook! I love really bright colors and they had alot of options. I like to do one color on each nail and the manicurist could have huffed and puffed but she was so nice and had a smile the entire time. I live in West roxbury so it's a little tough to get here because I don't drive, but I will definitely try to come back! more

Incredible facial and impeccable customer service!!!! I am a physician and since I am often on call, my schedule is very unpredictable. I had some free time early on a Sunday morning before the spa was open and they were very understanding and willing to accomodate me. The owner gave me an appointment at 9 am, even though the spa opens at 11am. As soon as I walked into the spa I was instantly impressed. It is very elegantly decorated and very clean. My esthetician was very well educated and I can truly say it was the best facial I ever had. They use organic products and do not reuse their implements. A collegue gave me a Groupon for a facial and I am so thankful that she did. The spa really needs to be recognized for the cleanliness and the way they go above and beyond to accomodate clients. Due to my schedule, I dont know when I will be able to be back but I wouldnt consider going anywhere else. more

I never write reviews because I have just never have been ""wowed"" enough to bother. These girls are so sweet. I have really sensitive skin and I was looking for a new cleanser and moisturizer so I would go into random salons. Not only was Cynthia extremely knowledgeable about the products and ingredients, she gave me a little sample of each so I could try them first. I went back today and bought both of them because my skin responded really well. The fact that she took time to actually educate me and help me was awesome. Great customer service. I think I'm going to go in and try a facial! more

GREAT EXPERIENCE!!! I WENT IN FOR AN AROMATHERAPY WRAP. THE SERVICE WAS AWSOME.THE WOMAN WHO PROVIDED MY SERVICE WAS VERY EXPERIENCED AND FRIENDLY..I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SPA TO ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR A DAY OF RELAXATION! OVERALL THE SERVICE WAS GREAT!!!\r \r \r \r more

I don't typically post negative reviews because I think everyone is allowed to have a bad day, but this went beyond a bad day. I bought a groupon for a massage with an aromatherapy wrap and I was very excited to make my appointment. I left several messages before finally speaking to someone (no one called me back, I had to keep calling them) and I was finally able to make an appointment. The day I was scheduled it snowed so my appointment was understandly cancelled. I was rescheduled for a few weeks later and the day before my appointment I received a voicemail saying their pipes froze so my appointment needed to be rescheduled. I had to call them back several times to reschedule my appointment for another week and a half later. Once again the day before my appointment I got a voicemail saying my appointment for a gel manicure needed to be cancelled because the nail technician was sick. I called and asked if perhaps they called the wrong person because I was scheduled for a massage and they said the same person does the nails and massages so they just said the wrong thing on the phone. She said she would call me back to reschedule when she knew when the woman would be back in and a week later I had not relieved a call so I called them. I asked if I should just ask groupon for my money back and the woman I spoke to said no and offered me a free express facial while I was in the aromatherapy wrap to make up for all the cancelations. I said okay and we rescheduled. Last Saturday I was supposed to finally have my massage so I got there 10 minutes early and waited and waited and no one ever showed up. Another customer finally arrived and she had someone's home phone number and called and I was able to speak to the woman and she said she had called and left me a message saying they needed to cancel because of the weather. The weather was cold and predicted snow for 3pm and my appointment was at 10am! She told me she would call to reschedule. It is a week later and they have not called. Luckily groupon has excellent customer service and has refunded my money. Don't waste your time with this place. Worst customer service ever! With all these cancellations I am not sure how they even stay open. more

Great spray tan! It's not streaky or orange at all. It's done by an actual person and not a machine so it's even. I love my glow and can't wait to try out more services. more

This is a long overdue review. I was getting married after the New Year and the girl that was going to do my makeup ended up cancelling on me without any reason. I was completely devastated and began frantically calling around. I lucked out when Cynthia said she was able to fit me in for a trial on Christmas Eve. I'm a very natural girl and don't like to wear to much makeup but of course with it being my wedding, I wanted to go with a little bit more. She did EXACTLY that. I had a beautiful glow and she was able to make my thin lips look really nice and full. My wedding was gorgeous and everyone complimented me on how beautifully my makeup was done. I have 6 friends getting married within the next year and half and they have all been referred to Villa Giovana. Thank you Cynthia, for making me feel like such a princess on my day!! more

Really great pedicure. I like the fact that they had disposable things, like files and buffers. Great massage and my feet are super smooth. I also got to take my file and buffer home as like a little take home kit. Cute idea, girls! See you when I get back from Florida! more

I'm not sure why there is negative feedback because the service at Villa Giovana is great! The girls are really friendly. I had SUCH a relaxing facial today. I have dry skin and I left with my skin feeling so hydrated and refreshed. I can't wait to come back for my pedicure in two weeks! more
