This has been our favorite salon for years now! We started going because the interior is so…read morebeautiful and peaceful, so tastefully done. It's such a pleasure to just walk inside. But we stay because the services are just the beat! The owner and service provider are hands-on, remember our preferences each time, have our cold tea of choice waiting when we arrive, etc. Nail art is custom and hand-painted. Products are amazing and healthy. We've tried many of their treatments at this point because there are frequently specials (or special occasions) to try something new! Massages, facials, waxing, hair cuts, steam room and sauna, plus manicures and pedicures. Special tip: they offer add-on 15 or 30 minute massages to any service! 100% worth it.

What a monumental waste of my time. I requested deep tissue massage, and kept waiting for the girl…read moreto start. I don't think she was skilled in the art of deep tissue massage at all. It was as if she was afraid to do anything other than simply press lightly into my skin. After an hour, I was begging (in my head) for it to just END so I could leave. I work in a high-stress environment and sit 10-12 hours every day. I'm used to great massages in Washington, DC so, just like visiting most of the restaurants here, I was greatly disappointed. Waste of time and money. How frustrating!

However, this recent experience was extremely disappointing. My appointment was changed twice without any prior notification, including a switch in esthetician, which is very inconvenient when you specifically book with someone you trust. On top of that, the receptionist who processed my payment was noticeably rude and unprofessional. After sharing my honest feedback in a review, I later discovered my account had been disabled, preventing me from booking future appointments with my regular esthetician. That response feels unfair and unprofessional, especially for a business that expects strict adherence from clients while not offering the same level of accountability in return. Constructive criticism should be welcomed, not punished. Unfortunately, this experience has changed how I view the business.
