on Citysearch Jun 04, 2009I decided to try one of their facials and cannot regret enough that I did, a waste of money to say the least. My esthetician was absent for at least half of my facial, which I later learned that she actually catered to... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 09, 2009Until I became a walker I would always go to Elizabeth Grady to get waxed. Thankfully, I had to find a spot in Brookline to go to and took a friend's advice to request Erma at Lavinia's. Two years later I would not trust... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 27, 2008Erma gives the best brazilian bikini wax, almost painless, very thorough and over so quickly - it cannot get any better for a less than desirable procedure! She also gives a great facial and eyebrow wax, I can actually... (more)
