Best of Boston

The full name is ‘Dayle’s European Skin Care and Day Spa,’ yet ‘Dayle’s’ captures the friendly essence of this little gem, founded in ’84 by Elizabeth Grady alum Dayle Ciampa. Like its namesake (lithe, blonde, very much hands-on), the spa doesn’t show its age: On the sleek, sun-filled first floor are blissful mani/pedis; upstairs is for up-to-date med-spa services, HydraFacials (locally exclusive to Dayle’s), and indulgences like chocolate body wraps.
