Etant Each member of the team at this South End Day Spa is utterly devoted to your well being. When faced with the question regarding the finest massage in Boston, the 1st name on everyone's lips was tant. i am startled, even a bit uneasy. But then I feel the muscles in my shoulders and upper back release. It's like my entire body's exhaled.

Wonderful experience! I had a 1-hour Swedish massage with Gregg and it was relaxing and restorative. Highly recommend!

I cannot speak highly enough about Etant. I've had services at all of the "best spas" in Boston, but nothing compares to Etant. Their services are unrivaled, and ALL of their staff epitomizes customer service. Every single person you interact with at Etant, from the moment you walk in, to the moment you leave, is BEYOND informed, kind and caring. Taylor is the best esthetician I've ever had work on my skin- she comes with smart and informed recommendations but doesn't try to sell you.

Outside of her skill as an esthetician, she is one of the sweetest people I've met. Highly recommend Etant from everything from massages to my favorite, facials. You simply can't go wrong here.

Had the most amazing facial today with Taylor, who is absolutely phenomenal. Taylor completely cleaned out my pores and gave me a combination of treatments that were personalized for the state of my skin. Taylor was so thorough and informative, recommending a plan of products to keep my skin looking amazing post-facial. My skin looks the best it's looked in a very long time & I will absolutely be back to visit Taylor at etant any time my skin needs a refresh.

I've been in search of a new spa for facials. Etant is wonderful! I saw Kiley for dermaplaning and a facial. She is WONDERFUL. My skin was absolutely radiant. I booked a return visit with her before leaving today's appointment. The reception staff is lovely and helpful. I will most certainly be returning for regular facials.

Etant is simply the best. I fell into one of those funny conversations with a complete stranger once in 2017 and we happened to start talking about spas, massages, etc. I remarked that my last experience with a masseuse had been a particularly (and surprisingly) bad experience, and this straanger (who later became known to me as "Harriet") recommended Etant.

I made an appointment the following week and have never had to look for another place to get my massage, facial and waxing needs met. The staff are friendly and soooo helpful; and the aestheticians and massage therapists are well-trained, professional, and SKILLED! There are enough massage therapists available so you can find one to match the style of massage and gender you prefer. Etant also sends out regular emails with nicely discounted specials - today I got a 20% discount on a massage with one of these promos. I cannot recommend Etant highly enough. It's a tiny little place, but worth its weight in gold.

First time going and it was great. Very unassuming, especially from the outside but everyone was so friendly and I had an amazing facial. I highly recommend this spa.

They are great. Got the two of us in today, and we each loved our massages I got deep tissue from Slavs and my partner got Swedish from John. Both great. So delightful after missing massage since COViD. Clean, safe, relaxing.

I had an amazing massage today with Wu (sorry if misspelled). I was recently in a bad car accident & have whiplash. I was a little nervous to do a massage but my dr gave me the go ahead & Wu was perfect. My daughter also had a facial with Bailey & she said it was wonderful! Literally just what the doctor ordered. Thank you!

Have had several massages and facials here. Professional, friendly, and top notch service! This place is very clean and relaxing; the perfect environment for any spa service.

I surprised my wife with a birthday facial session here - and before arriving, she may have said that she's "had a facial before". Not like this. Her words were, "I've never had a true facial like this in my life!" She came out elated and had nothing but great things to say about the service, the atmosphere, and the workers helping her throughout her time there. As a husband, that's all I want to hear!

My face ended up full of little cuts after a dermaplaning treatment. The apology "this happens" and "let it heal" is not enough for me.

I've been coming to Etant for years and am never disappointed. If you like deep tissue massage this is the place to go. Keelon, John and many others do deep tissue extremely well and will listen to you and focus on problem areas you mention. Also they are overall just amazing people. Jean at the front desk is a rock star too!

Fatima, what a treat! I am so happy that I found this fantastic place. Great massage, perfect pressure. Very clean, great service, everyone is nice and professional from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave. Can't wait to come back!

First off I'd like to say that the front desk woman, most likely the owner, was very kind and hospitable- I give her a 5/5 stars hands down. One of the other desk ladies was lukewarm and not responsive to guests. However, the body scrub is a 0/5 stars for me. As someone who has been spoiled with wonderful Korean spas in California, I was pleasantly surprised to find an affordable body scrub in Boston. Unfortunately, I was disappointed to find that there was no preparation of the skin such as a sauna or shower to moisten dead skin.

I basically paid $100 for Danielle to meekly apply $2 eucalyptus scrub and disappear twice for ten minutes (total of 20 minutes out of a 60 min scrub) to warm up a wet towel while loud cackling and coughing ladies made a ruckus in the hallway. On top of this, the body scrub was done on cotton sheets which is probably nice for massages but is not conducive for services that involve water.

After a measly 5min of body scrub and my front side of the body was wiped down I had to sit in cold, wet sheets for the next 30min. I was so disappointed with the service that I just wanted it to be over with. Little to no dead skin was removed, I'm out $100 and left disappointed. If COVID didn't put such a strain on businesses and workers I probably wouldn't have tipped at all. They may be worth it for a massage but don't waste your money on a body scrub here. I will not be returning.

My friend and I were able to book an appointment on a Friday just the day before. We were welcomed with friendly staff and offered some cucumber water. Establishment was clean and organized. My friend got a pumpkin facial for pigmented skin and I got the hydrating facial. We have a pleasant experience with comfortable chatting during. Some moderate extracting was performed during but could have benefitted from a little more. Overall good experience in a great location. Would come again.

Everyone was polite and gentle. It was my first time at etante. I did a back facial and a lavender full body scrub! They offer drinks in between services. I had 2 professionals. 1 service was on the 1st floor and the 2nd service in the lower level. There was music in every room and scente flowing everywhere. The bathroom was cute and bright. Would love to come back!

My first time at Etant, and I will definitely be back! I had a life-changing 90 minute CBD massage from Danielle, who I can't recommend enough. After asking what I needed, she applied just the right amount of pressure (which for me, is a lot) to utterly transform my back and neck, then did a shin thing that I didn't know I needed, but you definitely want.

Part medicine, part pampering, entirely transformative - this was at the top of massages I've had anywhere in the world. Staff is wonderfully friendly and efficient, space looks recently redone and is great. Only question is if I wait a month for my next one!

Let me start by saying yesterday I got two services - a massage with Keelon and a facial with Bailey. The massage was 5+ stars, Keelon is awesome! The facial was interesting, but the aftermath is awful. This is so hard for me to write because the front desk staff and my massage were great, but the facial was really painful at points and Bailey didn't take the time to explain anything she was putting on my face.

I had keep asking what she was doing because my face kept burning, but she said my skin was "responding well". After my facial, my skin felt smooth, but the lighting in the facial room was so dark I couldn't actually see what I looked like. Fast forward to today, I now had huge red bumps / cuts all over my face and my face is now bumpy and dry and scabbing. I've had several facials in my life, but this is the first time I've had one where I've genuinely looked much worse after.

This was a normal pure facial, this shouldn't have happened. I paid an extensive amount of money, I expect better quality. I'd do another massage here, but never would I trust a facial from Bailey again.
