When the seasons change I like to prep for the season ahead and mentally recharge by treating myself to a spa service. While I've been to my share of spas and salons, there's something special about G2O Spa & Salon on Newbury Street. Maybe it's the ultra soothing Brine Inhalation Therapy Relaxation Room, or the Penthouse Roof Terrace, or their experienced team of estheticians and technicians. For me, it was the Skylight Hot Tub. 

When I booked G2O's Custom Signature Facial, I wasn't sure what I was more excited about-- the facial or the post-treatment dip in their hot tub! All spa treatment guests are granted access to the luxury amenities offered at G2O Spa & Salon making services here an incredible value. 

After checking in I slipped into their private locker room, changed into the robe and slippers provided, and was whisked away to a private treatment room for my facial. G2O serves up the Rolls Royce of custom facials; your esthetician will ask you questions about your routine, skin care concerns, and the products you use and make selections based on your answers. I let my esthetician know that clogged pores and dullness were two of my main concerns so she spent extra time on extractions and used a Clarisonic brush to address my concerns about dullness. It was one of the more extensive facial treatments I've received  and so relaxing that I drifted asleep a few times! The treatment concluded with a face mask and soothing hand and arm massage. Your esthetician will carefully wrap your hands and put them into heated gloves for the remainder of your treatment. 






After my facial I headed back to the locker room to change into my swimsuit and enjoy their Skylight Hot Tub on their roof deck. After making myself a cup of tea, I took a cool rinse before settling into the hot tub. I must say, it was the ideal way to end any spa treatment! I'm already planning to book an appointment for my birthday week as I can't think of a better way to celebrate than by treating myself to another luxuriously, relaxing day at G2O Spa & Salon.
