It's very impersonal and you just check in on an iPad. 5-7 minutes went by. Still no eye contact. No smile. Nada. Finally - 5 min after my appointment time my aesthetician called my name. She was nice enough but I was completely underwhelmed by the facial. We were done in 45 min and my skin looked okay but not sure it was worth the money or the lack of warm reception. I'm also not sure how to relax in an open setting. The client next to me had a very loud conversation the whole time so that was pretty intrusive. At the end I declined a future visit and the pretty pricey suggested products. I won't likely be back.

The owner and Master Esthetician Christina is an amazing lady who takes pride in her work! I love that she is thoughtful and explains the process before she continues with each service. Christina has so much experience and knowledge in this field that I trust her recommendations and judgments during my services. It was also seamless using the Vagaro app to book appointments with Christina and email/text updates to prepare for the appointment! Located in the Capitol Hill area of DC, this cute studio is on the Lower Level Pennsylvania Ave building. It can be a lite tricky to access and Christina provides thorough information with pictures to enter her studio. The studio is decorated with white/gold accents and displays the niche products she uses for her services. Services: -Brow Lamination/Sculpt/Tint: this was my first time getting my eyebrows laminated, sculpted, and tinted. I was a little nervous about my appointment and Christina made my experience comfortable. For any new clients you have to fill out paperwork and then there is a quick consult where Christina asks for your preference and expectations. Then you walk into the studio room where you lay on the spa table. The pillows for my head and legs were so comfortable I wanted to fall asleep lol Christina first cleaned my brows and then mapped my brow shape from my facial structure and alignment. Christina meticulously maps out my brow shape with her ruler and sketches this out. She explained the reasons for how she shaped my brows and provides a mirror for me to confirm the shape. After she cleaned up my brows and processed/structured my brows the last step was tinting my brows. Christina gave me an ombré tint to match my hair color. I loved the look of my brows and the knowledge Christina shared with me during our sessions! She's so personable and detail oriented that made me feel so comfortable to explore more sessions like her facials the next time. In the end, I received an aftercare bag with cotton pads, spoolies, brow oil, and aftercare instructions. I cannot wait to come back for another brow session and maybe add a facial as well!

Chris coordinated all of my reservations and handled every detail seamlessly. They truly did not miss a beat. From the beautifully curated setup to the thoughtful touches--balloons, champagne, mimosas, strawberry lemonade, sparkling water, tea, and an incredible spread of light bites (charcuterie, vegetables, fruit, nuts, and strawberry shortcake)--everything was executed flawlessly. The experience felt incredibly exclusive, almost like I had the entire spa to myself and my guests. Antonio, the owner, greeted us personally and ensured we received white glove treatment from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. I genuinely felt like a queen celebrating such a special milestone. When I walked into the lounge and saw the setup, I was overwhelmed--in the best way. I actually cried. The robes, slippers, added seating, and overall décor were stunning. Every detail felt intentional and elevated. My massage with Brenda was phenomenal. She worked out tension I didn't even realize I was carrying, and her nurturing, calming energy made the experience even more special. I left feeling relaxed, cared for, and completely restored. I'll absolutely be booking with her again--and I'm already planning to return for a facial with Ruby. If you've ever considered celebrating your birthday--or any special occasion--this way, run, don't walk to Unwind Wellness. I would rate this experience a 1000 out of 10. You will be cared for, celebrated, and treated exceptionally well.

I love how she described everything as she did it, and how she listened to my goals ahead of time so that she could really target specific areas and results. It was easy to book online (and there is a Yelp DC code to get $30 off if you're a new client! If the online booking doesn't take the code, just mention it in the note and they will apply it when you check out). Its very clean and modern. A thin sparkly curtain separates people, not walls, but I found the experience peaceful and the results are great. Its a little pricey to me, but I think in the world of high quality facials, its priced just right. You won't regret going!

Listen, I can make this review absolutely ridiculous; and I intend to. However, I want to get down to the hot points: 1. Why is this the exact salon of my dreams? How yall do that? 2. Is it just me or do you feel love upon entry? 3. I know you ain't just lay a luxurious blanket upon my bodice while also sitting me in a massage chair. Laying special scrub and tea upon my scalp.. this is a sensory overload.. imma let you finish. 4. Why am I floating on cloud 9 after my hair wash? Do you need my money? 5. This salon is hitting on all cylinders and I'm overwhelmed with goodness. Please, don't stop serving me. 6. Now we in this braid down for the install and it's serious. Feels like a geometry class and someone is taking the AP course. Its getting technical. 7. Here we go with the major event.. The hair install and from the conversation, sour sop tea and overall authentic interaction; I'm feeling more cared for by the second. 8. Girl who made this tea and why aren't you selling this? 9. Consulting with me and asking pertinent questions gone make me fall in love... too late.. 10. Baby, you ain't have to cut my sew-in, tussle curl it and send me in my way like that. That was exceptional. Overall: I'm sitting on my couch, in my house, just 1 hr after leaving the salon. Bonnet on just how Ngina (my stylist) told me. There are so many things I can say. I already did above but to add good measure; this is an experience salon. A moment to give great pause and allow a fully staffed beauty team to treat you. The seamless care and consideration I got today made me feel elated to pay my bill. Do you need my money? I shall sleep and bask in these memories. I've already set my appointment for the end of the month. I'm missing you already.. Now, I know I didn't drop photos on you.. just know im serious about protecting my likeness.

It smelled FIRE throughout. Not overwhelming but so pleasant. The decor was stunning. So pretty and luxurious. But really, the service? TUHHHH. INCREÍBLE. From the moment I walked in and was greeted by the women at the front desk, onward, every single employee who walked by or guided me from point A to point B was sooo kind. This is big for me: EVERYONE SPOKE. Anyone working here who crossed my line of vision SPOKE TO ME kindly and in a welcoming way. They do nails, hair, massages, all types of things - it's a wholeeee spa and the owner (obviously a Black woman and bosssssss) did her thing here. Now, as for my mani/pedi: also great. Haha. If you were expecting something different, I have nothing for you. Alayna did a fantastic job and took her time. They have Dazzle Dry! She was thorough and even made product recommendations for my feet since I do so much yoga. I can't wait to come back. It's so unsuspecting outside but the inside is incredible.

I went to Peachy Navy Yard on May 5 for Jeuveau and was very clear that I wanted a frozen look. After waiting three weeks, I still had significant movement in my forehead, 11s, and crow's feet, so I returned for a follow-up appointment on June 8. More than two weeks after the retreatment, I still had visible movement and lines. I've been getting neuromodulators for several years, and I've never had a treatment fail like this--let alone a retreatment. Instead of addressing the fact that the follow-up treatment also failed to produce the promised result, I was told I was now "outside their adjustment window because it had been eight weeks since my original appointment." ?????? That completely ignores that they chose to retreat me on June 8 because the first treatment hadn't achieved the desired outcome. Rather than standing behind their work or offering a reasonable resolution, they simply suggested I try a different product and pay again in the future.
