Best of Boston

A blend of Eastern European sternness and a baby-soft touch makes Violet Mkhitaryan’s all-natural facials the most welcome punishment your skin will ever endure. A biochemist turned aesthetician, Mkhitaryan mixes, then applies, a masque of organic herbs, oils, and floral extracts to your face after cleansing your pores and before massaging your neck and shoulders. That’s some tough love we can get behind.
