The Perfect Primping Package

Quick. Easy. Cheap. We'd generally prefer our dating style not be described using these adjectives. (We got enough of that in high school, okay? And just for the record, they were, like, totally already broken up!) Unless, that is, you're talking about how we primp for an outing - in which case, we're guilty as charged. That's why we're smitten with Date Material ($115) at G Spa (35 Newbury Street, Boston, 617.267.4772). The 90-minute experience features a trio of treatments - the Ultimate Manicure, G Glow Quickie Facial, and Haute Hair wash, blow-dry, and style - that makes for super-speedy pre-date (or pre-whatever) primping. No fuss, no muss, and no need for him to see a spread of freshly used beauty products all over the bathroom counter when we take him home. (Whoops.) We can't vouch for that suitor, but G Spa hits the sweet spot.
