Even with big-name spas coming to town, local fave G2O remains unstoppable. After two years of construction, owner Joyce Hampers debuts its new home this month. What was once two historic brownstones is now a five-story facility, boasting all the essential amenities (massage, acupuncture, facials, manicures, pedicures, etc.), plus exclusives like brine-inhalation therapy, sunless tanning, a nap pod and a steam-ice fog room. Each floor has a theme, including a relaxing penthouse suite overlooking Newbury Street, complete with a hot tub and patio. My favorite is the salon floor, featuring separate wash, cut and color stations, with a table to plug in your laptop and enjoy free Wi-Fi while you process. Shampoos and conditioners aren’t the only environmentally friendly items—the entire building’s structure earns its green cred with geothermal heating and cooling, well water, LED lights and more. Leave here looking good, and feeling good about yourself.
