why facial theory
There are a lot of places to get a facial in Boston. Here is an honest look at the usual options, and what you get with us instead.
Book your facialFacial Theory vs. the usual options
| Where you go | What can happen | At Facial Theory |
|---|---|---|
| High-volume discount spas | Low prices often mean high turnover, and you may be booked with a newer esthetician who is still learning. | Estheticians with nearly a decade of experience each, at member pricing from $129. |
| 30-minute facial bars | Thirty minutes or less, a set menu, and sometimes you wash your own face at a sink before you start. | 50 minutes, every step done for you, and 20 minutes of massage. |
| Older day spas | Lovely people, but some have not kept up with newer technology, and the rooms can feel dated. | HydraPurge, microdermabrasion, LED, galvanic, microneedling and peels in a fresh, private studio. |
| High-end hotel spas | Beautiful for an occasional splurge, but hard to afford every month. | Results + relaxation you can keep up with: Signature $129 a month, Advanced $199. |
| Fast-growing national chains | When a brand grows quickly, experience can be stretched thin and every location runs the same script. | Two experienced estheticians who know your skin, adjust your plan every visit and share notes. |
Proven in Dallas, now in Boston
Proven in Dallas, now in Boston. Facial Theory began in Dallas, Texas, where our sister studio has earned over 100 five-star reviews. Facial Theory Boston is run separately, with the same method and the same standard of care.
Experience that stays current
Brandon and Summer each bring nearly a decade of hands-on experience, and they keep learning: new technology, new protocols and new ingredients. Experience tells us what your skin needs. Staying current means we have the right tool for it.
Results + relaxation, at a price you can keep up with
Skin changes with consistency, not one splurge a year. Our memberships make a real facial every month affordable, and students pay $99 Tuesday to Thursday.
Never wash your own face
We never hand you a cleanser and point you to a sink. Some spas make you wash your own face before they start. Here, every step is done for you, from the double cleanse to the final massage. Just lie back.

How is Facial Theory different from a facial bar?
Many facial bars offer 30 minutes or less and may ask you to wash your own face at a sink. Our signature facials are 50 minutes, every step is done for you, and 20 minutes of massage are included.
Why not just go to a high-end spa?
High-end hotel and resort spas are wonderful for an occasional splurge. We make taking care of your skin affordable every month, with memberships from $129.
How experienced are your estheticians?
Brandon and Summer each have nearly a decade of hands-on experience, and they keep training in new technology and techniques.
What technology do you use?
HydraPurge, microdermabrasion, red and blue LED, galvanic, high frequency, microneedling and professional peels, chosen for your skin at every visit.
Serious about your skin. Big on relaxation.
