Reviews of Holiday Organic Spa
J
Stunning space, great services. Had a facial here and loved the products! Lindsey was fantastic and did wonders on my skin. I will be back!
Nelya Binder
My experience at Holiday was magical. I came in dire need of a relaxing, healing facial and received just that. I felt seen and deeply taken care of, from the customized pure products to a rejuvenating facial and neck massage. I could not recommend this spa more, especially if you’re looking for a clean beauty approach in an energetically positive space!
Sofia Filippa
Great waxing experience! Catherine was professional, knowledgeable, careful and thorough. The room was spotless and so beautifully decorated. Would definitely recommend to others and will certainly be back!
Marissa Gallerani
Catherine is fantastic and the environment at Holiday Organic is a dream. I always feel relaxed and rejuvenated when I come out of my facials. I like it so much that I even make the trip up from Rhode Island on a regular basis to see them.
Stephanie Colucci
I have been going to Holiday for facials for almost a year and only have fantastic things to say about Lindsay and Catherine! They are both so friendly, professional and a wealth of knowledge! I see Catherine most regularly and she has helped me to continuously rework a home skin care routine that fits best for me, and I have noticed real results. They are really the best place for a personalized facial in the Boston area!!
Julie Meadows
Catherine is amazing! She is so sweet and always makes me feel comfortable during my services. I get facials and eyebrow waxes from Holiday and I always leave with glowing skin and feeling so relaxed. Catherine is extremely knowledgeable and has helped heal my skin. It really feels like going on Holiday when you’re at Holiday ;) You won’t regret it!
Allie Jennings
I've had a facial with Catherine and with Lindsey and highly recommend them both. They have created such a relaxing, professional, and genuine studio and their passion for skincare and wellness really shines though. They really catered the facial to my specific skin and were very knowledgable when providing advice. They also use great quality products that clean and cruelty free. They helped me to establish a great skin routine that's helped my skin get back on track and looking healthy!
Sierra Nicole
Catherine and Lindsay are both wonderful! I love getting facials and waxed from here! They both do an amazing job and are very professional. They also take the time to talk to you and let you know what they’re doing and give you recommendations for anything you might need. 10/10 always!

Struggling with hormonal acne I have had my fair share of facials but nothing compares to Holiday Organic Skin Studio!
After moving to Boston and feeling such a lack of confidence due to acne I found Catherine and came in for a 30 min facial. From my first ever appointment I was a new person ,my skin was GLOWING. Catherine not only offers an amazing facial but is beyond knowledgeable and has helped me heal my body from the inside as well!
I cannot recommend this studio enough, we all deserve to feel beautiful and at Holiday Organic Skin Studio they help make you glow! 10/10 recommend!
Alison Duran
This was my first visit to Holiday Organic Skin Studio and I will definitely be coming back! I had a facial from Lindsey and she was amazing. She listened to all of my needs/concerns and tailored the facial to exactly what I asked for. I also LOVE that the studio uses all clean products. 10/10 recommend!
Brenna
I was very new to waxing before going to Holiday, both Catherine and Lindsay make the experience a breeze. Not only are they incredibly professional but also wonderful individuals as well!
Edit 12/13/21 - Update, it’s been over a year since I’ve been doing my monthly waxes at Holiday, I genuinely get so excited to go in, see Catherine, and catch up on life. The energy in the studio is always fantastic, so welcoming and warm! And I’ve officially gotten my first ever facial from the lovely Catherine, and let me tell you, it will certainly not be my last! It was more than I could’ve imagined! I left feeling like a new person, she was present in the room the whole 90 minutes, and during quiet relaxation was massaging product into the face, or getting rid of knots in my shoulders. It was truly luxurious, I swear to you she’s got magic hands, I’m still glowing the next day!
Lauren Connell
So glad I found Holiday! When I moved here in December, I wasn't sure I'd find an organic salon for my waxes and other skin care, but Holiday has surpassed expectations. I recently tried eyebrow tinting as well and was sooooo pleased with the results! Lindsey is kind, compassionate, and goes above and beyond to make sure I'm comfortable and happy with my service. Planning to be a loyal client for as long as I'm living in the Boston area! xx
Terra Mikalson
I had never gotten a bikini wax before going to Lindsey at Holiday. She came recommended to me by three friends and for good reason! She was knowledgable and friendly as she walked me through the process. I've been going back every five weeks or so ever since.
Sarah Joaquin
I have been going to see Lindsay for monthly facials leading up to my wedding. She is so friendly and super professional. It is truly a spa experience and I always feel so relaxed after. My skin has cleared up since I started going and my face always feels so fresh and clean. They use great products that I have even purchased for myself at home! Lindsay listens to what I want but also provides great suggestions and feedback. I love coming here and so happy I found Holiday Organic!
Emily C. Meyer
I just had my first facial at Holiday and it far exceeded my expectations. From beginning to end, this was one of the most relaxing and blissful experiences I’ve ever had. Catherine is such a lovely, warm, and down to earth person, and the studio is GORGEOUS! The masks smelled so natural and botanical (no fake perfumey scents here) and you can tell all products used are top quality. She catered the experience to my skin needs, and the neck/shoulder/face massage was enchantingly good. I could’ve laid there for hours! Even from one visit it is obvious that Holiday really goes out of their way to make clients feel special, with a lot of little details that go the extra mile and make them stand out. Catherine is so knowledgeable about skincare I can’t imagine trusting anyone more with how to care for my skin. I purchased a lovely facial scrub there but never felt an ounce of pressure to do so. Don’t hesitate to book the Bespoke Facial or any other service here. I cannot wait to come back!
Sasha Mielke
Was truly the best facial I ever had! A wonderful experience and really easy to get to. The owner is lovely and truly knows how to give a unique experience and luxuries experience. Totally worth it!
Kristen Sack
Went here for my first facial ever and they totally exceeded my expectations. Catherine was amazing and extremely helpful. I love that she took the time to go over my skin care routine with me and made suggestions on products to switch out. She goes above and beyond and I will absolutely be a returning customer!
Mary Nikolai
Catherine and Lindsey are friendly, kind people and do a great job! Very positive experience at Holiday Organic, will be returning!
Laura Hink Slaght
Lindsey was amazing, a true professional! You can tell Lindsey is passionate about what she does and very detailed oriented. It was the least painful wax I've ever had and most relaxing facial...I literally fell asleep. Lindsey also provided additional education on ways I could enhance my personal skin care routine based on my concerns and never made me feel rushed. I will definitely be going back! Thank you, Lindsey!
Alexa DiPalma
Holiday is pure MAGIC. Please go! Catherine is a true skin care wizard. I trust her completely to work her magic on my sensitive skin, plus she’s great at communicating with you throughout so she knows what you need and you know what she’s up to. If I could live in this studio, I would. It’s like a mini vacation when you walk in. The light coming into the room, the plants, the crystals. Everything you need to feel completely at peace. Will be coming back forever!
Emma Szalewicz
I am SO grateful to have found Holiday & Catherine! I had my first ever facial here and couldn’t have had a better experience. My skin feels & looks amazing! Catherine is incredibly kind, truly intuitive and genuine and so good at what she does. I can’t wait to go back❤️
Lauren Jett
Catherine is absolutely amazing. I have come in for waxes, and she always does a great job. She creates an extremely comfortable environment so you always feel at ease, and is very friendly and sweet. The entire process is very personalized, you don't feel like you're just another customer at a chain salon. I can't recommend Holiday enough. I'm looking forward to getting a facial here soon!
Nancy Zhou
I never go to spas but really wanted to try eyebrow tinting, lash tinting, and a lash lift. I was really nervous to try it out, but I heard a lot of good things about Holiday Skin + Wax. I went online and booked an appointment with the service that I wanted at the time I wanted (super easy) and went in the same day! My experience was AMAZING.
The space itself is super inviting and cozy. When I met Catherine, she made me feel comfortable and at ease! She’s knowledgeable and explained the process and what type of products she uses. I think that was the most impressive part- that all of the ingredients she used in her products were safe- no weird chemicals.
The result- AWESOME!! I loved my eyebrow tint, lash tint, and lash lift!! I felt fabulous. I can’t wait to book my next appointment with her. Can’t believe I took so long in the first place.
If you’re looking for a place that makes you feel fabulous, I highly recommend Catherine and Holiday Skin + Wax.
Priscilla Angier
I absolutely LOVE self care days at Holiday Organic Skin Studio! Catherine and Lindsey are both wonderful and have always made me feel so comfortable! I have told all my friends about the studio, and they love their experiences as well. I would highly recommend you book your next self care experience with one of these gals, they are very knowledgeable and personable.
Dana Ansel
I have had 2 facials with Catherine and they have both been *amazing*. I felt so pampered and my skin has gone from dull to bright. I can't speak highly enough about Catherine. (I don't typically do google reviews but had to do one for Catherine!). She is so attentive and skilled at what she does. My parting words to her at the end of each facial has been -- I can't wait to come back.
Emily Doll
I have gone to Catherine regularly for a few months and she has been absolutely amazing and I am so glad I found her to do my regular waxes! She is extremely thorough and takes the time to explain what she is doing the first few times you go. She also takes the time to get to know you on a personal level and makes the experience enjoyable and fun! The space is extremely clean and relaxing and the price point is extremely affordable with specials for regular customers. You can tell Catherine really takes pride in her business and works everyday to make it better using customer feedback. I am excited to try out her facial packages and can't imagine going anywhere else!
Brittany Kurtz
LOVE everything about this space and its energy. Both Catherine and Lyndsey are friendly, professional, and passionate. I saw Catherine for a custom facial, and it was truly one of the most ethereal and energy-cleansing gift I could have given to myself- I'm already looking forward to the next time I can come in! Honestly can''t say enough about this sweet space.
Megan Zed
I’ve been to Holiday for facials and eyebrow shaping and it’s amazing. Catherine is incredibly knowledgeable and collaborative and the environment is beautiful and peaceful. I got a ton of compliments on my brows, too, I won’t go anywhere else. And I love supporting a local small woman owned business. Try them, you won’t be sorry!
Komal R. Gupta
Catherine is committed to high quality products and services and it really shines through. She is easy to connect with, makes you feel comfortable and is a lot of fun to talk to. The space is soothing with a nature-feel while being extremely clean and sanitary, which is important! Love this place and it's the best I've been to in the Greater Boston Area.
Chelsea McLeod
Holiday Skin + Wax is simply the best of the best. Beautiful and convenient space, and Catherine is the best aesthetician I've ever had, and is the only person whom will ever allow to touch my brows. Her wax + tint package is party of my bi-weekly routine, and her facials are amazing. My skin health and quality have drastically improved since I started seeing her and I've gotten many compliments on my brows. Her waxes are also super quick, efficient, and perfect! Appointments are easy to schedule and she bends over backward to accommodate clients. You MUST see Catherine if you're in the Boston area!
Madelene Nieman
I've been getting waxed at Holiday for almost two years now because they're AMAZING. Catherine and Lindsey are both incredibly laid back and great at their jobs. The space is beautiful and super clean, and I've always felt incredibly comfortable. Cannot recommend enough!
Rae Abarbanel
Let me start by saying I am so busy I usually never take the time to write a google review. But Catherine deserves this time and recognition for her amazing work and professionalism. I received my first facial from her a few months ago and I foresee myself seeing her for years to come. She uses her expertise to educate her clients on healthy skin care practices and has an uplifting and calming energy about her. She frequently checks in during the service. I walk out of her suite every time feeling renew-ed, refreshed, and ready to "face" the word.
chelsie lincoln
You can tell Catherine cares so much about her clients' experience. She is incredibly friendly and does everything to make you feel as comfortable as possible. I'm no stranger to bikini waxes so I feel very confident when I say this was the quickest, most professional wax I've had in a very long time. The studio is adorable, smells great, and is very clean. I used Groupon for my first wax but my second will be as part of the VIP deal which Catherine kindly offers. I was interested in some of her products and possibly getting a facial. Catherine happily answered all of my questions without sounding like she was giving a sales pitch. After numerous experiences at chain establishments it was refreshing to speak to someone who really cares about her business. Five stars without hesitation.
Olivia Reardon
Catherine makes you feel so comfortable and welcome in her adorably decorated office! Her prices for wax cannot be beat and she does an amazing job. I would love to try some of her other services she even puts on little parties where she teaches you how to make organic skin care products. Catherine feels like a friend and I look forward to seeing her every 4-6 weeks! So glad I found this gem! Life changing!!
Stephanie Langford
I have gone to Catherine at Holiday Skin + Wax for Brazilian waxes for 7 months now. Catherine always does an amazing job and listens to any of my concerns and helps me with them. Her space is relaxing, beautiful, and clean. She is also super accommodating. I have had a couple of situations where I have had to move my appointment around and she completely understood and helped me set up a time that is more convenient for me. She is a lovely person and does a great job with her bussiness.
Marley J
Catherine (she runs Holiday Skin and Wax) is an incredible artist of personal beauty, personal care, and relaxation. Her studio is so gorgeous and relaxing. I feel so calm right away when I walk in! She is kind and extremely caring toward her clients. She also takes her job very sincerely -- she is highly trained and clearly puts a lot of effort into making sure her clients are cared for. She is friendly, thoughtful, and responsible. Not only does she help her clients look (and feel) great, but she makes the whole session very enjoyable! Her services are extremely reasonably priced, especially considering the cost of her tools. Visiting her studio feels so luxurious (but it doesn't break the bank!). I highly recommend going to Catherine's Holiday Skin and Wax! Treat yourself!! You deserve it!!
UPDATE: 11/25/19
OMG I just got my brows done for the first time!! My brows look FABULOUS!!! Catherine is so quick and skilled at her craft. I love how she shapes brows based on a person's bone structure, so the shaping is literally perfect for my face. Catherine is the ONLY one that I trust with shaping my brows!!
Sherline
Love love love Holiday Skin+Wax! I started going about 6 months ago after trying other places and my experience at Holiday has been the best. Catherine is amazing, super nice, and is easy to talk to. She's super helpful and the spa environment itself is very relaxing. Not only this but the results are great and at a great price! I would definitely recommend.
Susan Reeves
I was lucky enough to find Holiday Skin + Wax last year through a Groupon, and I am so happy I did! The environment is zen and relaxing, with so many cute touches. Catherine is amazing! She is so knowledgeable about all the products she uses, and is great at explaining what she is doing throughout the service. And she is just a lovely, super nice, fun person to talk to! I started going just for Brazilians, but now I also get my brows and lashes done there too. The lash lift and tint was a game changer for me...I'm hooked! Give Holiday Skin + Wax a try--you won't be disappointed.
Talia M
I absolutely love coming here! I’ve had both Lindsey and Catherine and they are both dolls! When I was super pregnant Catherine bought a stool so I could get up onto the table easily. They go above and beyond for their clients. I recommend them to all my friends.
kit sombke
Hidden gem of Brookline! I love their facials and love how Lindsey will give you the best advise on which treatment you should get. Also the service room is so cute! Does not feel commercial. Very homey with the nude colors, crystals and the rainbow light beams. I also think it’s priced well! I will be going back.
Kate Goldhouse
Catherine is AMAZING! When she showed me the mirror after my first facial with her, I was shocked at how bright and smooth my skin looked. Her space is also really elegant and relaxing, and she has a wonderful, positive energy that is just really pleasant to be around. The products she sells are very high quality, and after you see your face you’ll want to buy them all, but she doesn’t push anything on you, which I really appreciate. I really can’t recommend her enough!
Anna woosley
I have gone to Catherine regularly since moving to Boston and she has been absolutely amazing and I am so glad I found her. Holiday Skin + Wax is a relaxing and professional environment. The online booking system is great if you have a busy schedule, it's so easy to book an appointment. I can't recommend Catherine's services enough!
Natasha Taylor
Not only is Catherine such a wonderful person, her spa experiences absolutely amazing! She is truly knowledgeable about her treatments and products, all while making you feel comfortable and beautiful. Her studio is so magically decorated, you'll want to move right in. Can't wait to book my next appointment!
Kerin Perez Harwood
Catherine is amazing! Her space is so welcoming and beautifully designed. She made me feel so comfortable. She is also very knowledgeable about safe products and is up to speed on the latest trends in skin care. It has taken me a long time to find an esthetician I jive with and I finally have with Catherine. I will be coming back. Highly recommended.
Bonus! She offers champagne! :)
Liz Shaughnessy
I've been to a lot of salons for waxing but none have been as positive an experience as going to Holiday Skin & Wax. Catherine uses the best products to make the wax as quick, easy, and painless as possible. She has a great environment and is very professional. I'm so glad I took a chance on her Groupon because I've been going monthly ever since! I'd recommend her services without hesitation! I haven't taken advantage of her services aside from waxing yet but I definitely plan to! It's clear she's very knowledgeable and skilled at what she does.
Madeline Wise
I wish I could give Holiday Skin and Wax 10 stars! Catherine Richardson is an absolutely amazing esthetician. She creates a relaxing and warm environment and makes you feel absolutely pampered. I haven’t gotten my eyebrows done in a long time because I am not very trusting of others with my brows, but she made them look perfect! I also get bikini waxes with her every 4-6 weeks and I will never go anywhere else. She uses both soft and hard wax with expert technique. I have also had the pleasure of getting a facial with her - on your 6th visit every service is half off so I splurged for a facial and WOW. It was by far the best facial I’ve ever had. Catherine uses all natural ingredients and has lots of options for types of facials and can accommodate your preferences in many ways. I love Catherine and her business. Cannot recommend her highly enough. She is amazing and I send all my friends to her!
brianna c
One of my good friends told me about Holiday skin and wax after she got her brows tinted and waxed and I have never been elsewhere since.. Not only is Catherine the SWEETEST person ever, but my brows have improved SO much over the past few months, I honestly can't believe they are mine. Her little spa is so pleasant and cute and relaxing I can't say enough good things!
Julia
Catherine is absolutely wonderful! Her spa studio is beautiful and pristine. She genuinely cares about her clients, uses the best products and has fair prices. After my facial, my skin has never looked better!
Lindsay Jacobsen
This place is a serious hidden gem! The studio is absolutely beautiful and relaxing, and Catherine is the absolute best. She takes the time to explain everything and uses both hard & soft wax. She also offers an amazing discount if you keep up with your waxes regularly. My friends and I are planning on booking one of her parties soon, which is such a cool service to provide! I am SO happy I found this place and honestly can not recommend it highly enough!
Hannah Brooks
Catherine is amazing, plain and simple. I exclusively go to her for waxes and skin care since I met her over the summer, and recommend her to everyone I meet. She has also hosted lovely, relaxing and thoughtful events for birthdays, and uses all natural products / wax and is in tune with your specific needs - she saved my skin by recommending a product line that I now can’t live without. 10/10 recommend!
Sonya Highfield
Catherine is the best!!! I LOVE her non-toxic facials, her space is so beautiful, and she's so sweet. It's like a little vacation visiting her. She also has been super helpful with product recommendations, she's very knowledgable about skin and how to customize your care routine. Highly highly recommend!
ariel szabo
I had a couture facial with deep relaxation - it was AMAZING. The space is beautiful, inviting and relaxing. Catherine is super warm and friendly. She listened to my skin concerns and addressed them during the facial and gave me advise for at home care. Throughout the facial, she let me know what she was applying. While the masks, serums and lotions were working their magic, Catherine pampered my neck, shoulders, arms and hands with massage. There was also ample facial massage. My facial was a super relaxing experience and my skin looks phenominal.
Helen Suntag
I really cannot rave enough about this spot. Catherine has the most beautiful studio in the city; it’s bright, inviting, immaculately clean and, of course, #aestheticgoals. My brows have never looked better after her wax and tint. She’s given my lashes the most beautiful lifts and they really do last for well over two months. She’s always been so accommodating when I’ve dragged friends with me to appointments and I really love how much she supports other female entrepreneurs.
I’ve since moved out of Boston but I have yet to find a place as warm and welcoming and someone as sweet, dedicated, and talented as Catherine.
Fiori_in_Biblioteca88
I have seen Catherine twice for a facial, and I could not be happier! She is competent, positive, and very attentive. She takes the time to listen to your concerns, and customizes the facials to your specific needs. Catherine has also created an incredibly pretty environment, with crystals, hanging plants, and feminine mirrors and furniture - to see her is to take a mini vacation in the heart of the city.
Elizabeth Gallagher
I am 37 and have been getting waxing since I was 19 and facials since my early 20's and since meeting Catherine there is simply no one else I will see for skin care. I rely on Catherine not only for her expertise but also her honesty. I have tried a couple of products from her practice, for example, and when one didn't work as well as she thought, she would tell me. (On the other hand, one has worked AMAZINGLY and I love it!) Catherine is the most skilled and knowledgeable esthetician I have ever met, and in addition to that, she is also so kind, bubby and easy to chat with!
Empowering Path
I've had several facials with Catherine and all of them have been very thorough! I love how Catherine uses all natural products and knows exactly why she is using them. I really felt Catherine catered to the needs of my unique skin! I feel very grateful to have found her practice and am looking forward to my next treatment.
Haley E
I received a 90 minute facial and it was phenomenal. Everything I had written in my intake form was considered and I received so much feedback about my current at home routine and how to make it better. I have extremely sensitive skin and this was considered throughout the entire appointment. I cannot recommend their services enough!
Amelia Rossi
I came to Catherine having never had a facial, but always struggling with discoloration, uneven skin, and problem breakouts. Having seen a few dermatologists in the past and never finding relief, I had just come to the conclusion that I had bad skin and I had to live with it. I talked to Catherine and she was so passionate about skincare, that I decided to book an appointment at Holiday Skin + Wax to see what she might be able to do for my skin.
Catherine is SO helpful and knowledgable – I asked her about 1000 questions during my facial and she taught me so much! She helped me figure out what products would be best for my skin while being mindful of my budget. I'm so excited about my new skin care regimen and have already noticed positive changes in my complexion in just a few weeks.
Also, if you've never had a facial, it's more than just a face wash and intro to skincare. The process includes a head, face, and neck massage – honestly the most wonderful treat for yourself.
Don't hesitate to book – I wish I had found Catherine years ago!
Ilana Seewald
Catherine is THE BEST!!! I’ve been going to European Wax Center and Miniluxe for years but haven’t been back since I found Holiday - it’s SO much better!! It’s run by Catherine, she is incredibly sweet and makes the experience as painless as possible! The salon is tranquil and extremely clean. Catherine is a super knowledgeable esthetician - when I go in for a wax she will even take a look at my face and give me suggestions for my blemishes. If I could give this place 6 stars I would!!
Riley Eyges
Catherine is the best. She makes my waxes painless and go by so fast. She has a great personality and is extremely knowledgeable able about skincare and wellness. I will not go to anyone else after meeting Catherine a year ago!
Taylor Bathel
I see Catherine for waxes; she offers a wonderful "VIP" pricing package for regular clients. I have extremely sensitive skin and Catherine is the first esthetician whose wax products have not negatively affected me. Her small, cozy salon is tucked away in Brookline Village (a minute or so walk from the D line), and always smells like sage, lavender, or something else that reminds you to take a deep breath. The space is also super clean. Not to mention, Catherine herself is so kind and bubbly. She is always on time, and gets me in and out in twenty minutes. Highly recommend!
Shelby Hinkley
I recently visited holiday and had my first lash lift and my expectations were far exceeded. My lashes are perfectly lifted! Lindsey was not only professional and kind but truly holds a talent for creating beauty. I can not wait to book my next appointment here! The studio is also extremely clean and has a zen vibe.
Samantha Surface
The stars truly aligned when I met Catherine because her professionalism and warmth stays with you long after you leave her place of business. Not only has she completely changed my skin, but she's changed my entire energy and outlook on the world.
Catherine prioritizes the feelings of her clients and while she is making you look beautiful on the outside, she helps you feel whole and unstoppable on the inside. She believes everyone is a goddess, but sometimes we don't realize it, and Catherine helps you embrace that part of you.
Go to Holiday Skin and Wax as soon as you can. Your skin will glow from the fabulous natural products she uses, but also because she's able to tap into an inner layer that you didn't know existed. She did that for me so allow her to do it for you too.
Kelly Trujillo
Holiday Skin & Wax is a HIDDEN GEM, especially given Catherine is phenomenal. I recently visited for a brow wax & tint, as well as a Brazilian, following a random Groupon find and now I am positive I will not need to go elsewhere.
At almost 30 years old, I had never had my eyebrows done before due to being nervous about the outcome. I have always been insecure about my eyebrows given some weird trimming I did at a young age (why doesn't anyone tell you the things you do to your eyebrows at a young age will forever haunt you?!). I shared this with Catherine who made the experience more positive than I could have imagined. She was patient, walked me through what she was doing, and made me feel I was in good hands. Following the wax/tint, I sincerely could have cried I was so happy with the outcome, and my friends have already been asking where I went :)
Also, my first Brazilian experience was...rough. I am SO thankful I gave Holiday Skin & Wax a go, because not I will not dread the next visit.
This is all not to mention Catherine's space is lovely! Not sterile, very warm, and relaxing. Cannot recommend highly enough!
Elizabeth Takash
Catherine has completely changed my life with her immense knowledge and talent in skincare and facials. I have struggled with acne recently and since I have been getting regular facials with her my skin has drastically improved in every way. She has addressed all of my skin care concerns and educated me about how to improve the issues I am having now and prevent other issues in the future. She has shown me how to make an effective home skincare routine with products that are organic and vegan and therefore much better for your skin and the environment. She never pushes expensive and unnecessary products on you, she is very honest with me and I have learned so much from her! Cannot recommend her facials enough!
On top of her overwhelming knowledge of skincare, she is so friendly and welcoming. Her salon is so beautifully decorated which really emphasizes her zen vibes. I truly look forward to every appointment with her!
Tory Brogie
Catherine is AMAZING. Being new to the area I’ve had a hard time finding an aesthetician that I trust with something as important and sensitive as my skin! A friend recommended her and I will never go anywhere else as long as she will have me! She is so respectful of my time, down to earth and is happy to explain any process or give tips and tricks! 10/10 recommend this.
Jocelyn Steinfeld
I've been going to Holiday Skin + Wax for brazillians for 6 months now, and it has consistently been a wonderful experience. Catherine is fun, friendly, professional and the process is quick and efficient. I always love my results, and Catherine has great hours and flexible scheduling so I can always get in or reschedule if need be. I couldn't recommend more!
Haja Fofana
If you are looking for a clean, inexpensive and painless waxing service this is the place to go. Catherine is really friendly and makes the experience a pleasant one. She uses all organic products. You get 1/2 off your first visit and it’s $40 if you book for an appointment within 4-6 weeks from your last wax. You really can’t beat this price in Boston. Can’t wait for my next appointment.
Maddison Stemple-Piatt
Catherine is beyond amazing. She has quite literally changed my life. My skin has always been very dry and painful and recently I’ve had persistent cystic acne. I booked Catherine for a facial and not only was it the best spa experience I’ve ever had but she helped me develop an entire skin care on my budget with only natural products. In one month my skin went from super painful, uneven, and embarrassing to Dewey, clear, and I am confident make up free! My friends and I all go here and refuse to see anyone else. We even all get together about every two months for BFF Dates where we get to hang out with treats and drinks and get pampered with footbaths and facials—the best brunch alternative. Five stars is not enough ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Majella Kennedy
Love this place and love Catherine! She’s super professional and makes u feel very comfortable (even when she’s waxing the hard to get areas😜) her place is very calming and quiet. I even mentioned to her how relaxing the vibe is the second u walk through her door. Her rooms are spotless and beautifully accented. On top of all that I don’t think u can beat her price list anywhere in the city.
Amelia Wiggins
I came to Holiday for my very first Brazilian, and found the experience to be relaxing despite the discomfort associated with the first time wax. Catherine is wonderful and makes you feel welcomed and comfortable while bearing all. I definitely plan on coming back and would recommend her services to everyone. 😊 …
seonmin yun
Catherine is the best! I've gone to catherine almost for an year now. She is very friendly and makes me comfortable during the treatment. I was very nervous when I went there first time because it was my first brazilian wax. She explained well and was very gentle. It was quicker and way easier than I thought.

Holiday Skin + Wax is the best! I moved to Brookline in September and have been searching for a local spot for my skin care needs. Catherine's space is clean and relaxing and easy to find/get to! She is always on time and professional and does fantastic work! I have already referred my roommate to her and would 100% recommend to others!

Not only is this the best facial I’ve ever had but Catherine makes you feel so special and pampered, it makes you feel like a princess for the day! She also only uses the best products and I love knowing that everything used is nontoxic and good for my skin— I buy all my products here now too!

This spa is extremely clean and hygienic they do not double dip. The environment is calming and inviting. Lindsay was polite and professional, she is efficient and knowledgeable on best skincare routine and products. The Brazilian was worth it .

Catherine and her spa are wonderful. She has decorated the space beautifully and it always smells so fresh. It is obvious she cares a lot of about her clients and her business through the way in which she maintains the space; you can really see her personality shine through. She also goes above and beyond in terms of service, I received a HAND WRITTEN thank you card a few weeks after my first appointment. That is beyond. I am not usually an outgoing person but when I get to her spa I really feel like I am seeing a friend and enjoy catching up with her during my services. She also does a quick, thorough and comfortable brazillian so if its your first time she will be careful with you. I can't say enough about her or her spa but I would give more stars if I could!! Thank you :)

Phenomenal experience at Holiday! Catherine quickly picked up on exactly what I needed. She chose the perfect products and the little extras for a one of a kind facial. The facial was the most relaxing thing I've done for myself in years!

I wish I could give this place and Catherine more than 5 stars! She is absolutely amazing. Her space is very calming and relaxing. The products she uses are great as well! Very natural and soothing. She is so personable and does an absolute amazing job at making you feel welcome and comfortable. I would recommend her to everyone.

I've had 2 facials with Catherine. She takes her time and clearly cares about and enjoys what she does. The environment is relaxing. I am always curious when getting services and ask lots of questions. Catherine is very knowledgeable and engaging in answering all my questions informatively. She is also very professional.

I've actually gone to Catherine multiple times and have found her to be nothing but professional, pleasant, respectful, and kind. I love being able to book online. She's super flexible and easy to talk to, and her facials and brow shaping are AMAZING. 100% recommend.
Megan Donnelly
Catherine is so wonderful! She has created a beautiful space where I always feel super comfortable and relaxed. She explains everything she does and goes at whatever pace I need her too. I go for a Brazilian and my brows and I will never go anywhere else!

Catherine is so sweet and makes you feel super comfortable! And the wax was the least painful one I've ever had, I don't think I will go anywhere else now! The room is also decorated so cute and is a really calm and nice environment.

CAN NOT RECOMMEND CATHERINE ENOUGH!!!!! I stumbled upon Holiday Skin + Wax over a year ago, and I’ll never go anywhere else. Catherine makes every effort to make her clients feel comfortable and beautiful. You definitely need to try this place out!

The whole Vibe is stunning from the energy that Catherine brings to her amazing work as an Uber talented Aesthy. Her facial massage leaves you a puddle and my skin went from 47 to 42🥰 with all of the skills she applied to my skin ! Run don’t walk here. …

Such a joy and relief to go have my brows or lashes done, a facial, anything - and know I’ll be so well taken care of. Both by Catherine’s easy, loving, smart, talented way of being and by the vegan and non-toxic natural products she uses. Highly highly recommended 👍🏽 …

I got my brows waxed and tinted by Catherine and she was so sweet! She also talked to me about skincare a bit which was helpful. Overall I had a relaxing and pleasant experience, and my brows were fierce as hell when I left. 5 stars :)

Catherine is amazing at what she does and I can’t wait to go back. I highly recommend this place and have already told many of my friends about it. Thanks Catherine!
Heide Penner
Just what I needed! Love the vibe - the crystals and airplanes give the space a very zen feel. The only thing I’d change is signage- the paper on the suite doesn’t have their name on it. Otherwise, great! Thanks, Lindsey!
