About

Rian founded Sage after an idea that took shape in early 2020, when she decided to shape the visit around her own ideas of care. The studio sits in Newton, a short walk from the Newton Center Green Line station, and the team includes Allain and Mercedes alongside Rian. The space serves only one client at a time, so each visit gets undivided attention.

Much of the menu combines bodywork and skin care in a single session. Fusion is a two-hour pairing of massage and facial, The Hybrid moves from a back-focused massage into facial work on the chest, shoulders, neck, face and scalp, and Heat Therapy covers the shoulders, neck, face and scalp in 60 minutes. Combination treatments are given by therapists licensed in both massage and aesthetics. The salon describes its products as premium, organic and plant-based, and it uses the Green Envee Skin Care line.

Massage options include therapeutic, deep tissue and prenatal massage, the last performed with the client on her side, and a CBD massage made with Life Flower organic hemp-derived CBD oil. Traditional lymphatic drainage and a massage-and-lymphatic hybrid are offered in longer sessions. Lymphatic drainage is not given over post-surgical areas, and the studio refers those clients to another practice. Clients actively fighting a viral infection are asked to wait until they recover before booking it.

The Acne Program is a guided series of treatments every two weeks, using enzyme or chemical peels and extractions alongside a personalized home-care regimen. According to the salon, most clients begin to see significant improvement within three to six months, depending on acne type and severity, and it describes clear skin as coming mainly from home care. The initial consultation is 30 minutes at $65, Acne Express is 30 minutes at $130, and the 60-minute Acne Treatment facial is $180. The starter home-care regimen is listed at about $200 to $250.

Booking is by appointment only with no walk-ins. Clients can reach the studio by text, phone, email or the online booking portal, and the studio is closed on Mondays, with weekday hours running into the evening. Gift cards are sold online only. Packages of six expire six months after purchase, and the salon says the best results come from one to two sessions a week at first. Hot oil scalp treatments are not washed out at the studio, so clients are advised to rinse the oil out the same day.

Each client is seen alone with undivided attention, and the studio pairs massage and skin care rather than keeping them separate.

A minimalist, skylit studio with nature-inspired touches and a warm bohemian feel.
