I booked a 50minute combo massage with Ms. Lauretta. This was the massage I have been needing and always hope for when booking somewhere new. Ms. Lauretta is lovely and seemed very experienced in light and tension relief massages. The place is clean, cozy and front desk kindly offered me refreshing water. Got lucky with free street parking right in front. Everything about today's massage experience felt good and will be back soon. read more

I would like to thank Marcia at Fountain Day Spa in Old Town Alexandria for the best massage i have ever had. Thank you. Marcia is excellent and I strongly recommend. Fountain Day spa is a gem. I have enjoyed many services over time. The spa is calm, pretty and spotless. The services are excellent and the professional team members make it a very special escape. read more

I absolutely LOVE this place!! 5/5 STARS!! I came here for a birthday treat to myself and it's hands down an amazing experience from start to finish. The spa itself is spotless... from the welcome lounge to the massage areas and restrooms. The ambiance is relaxing, peaceful, and inviting, which makes it easy to unwind as soon as you walk in. The overall vibe is professional yet warm, definitely not stuffy, just serene and comfortable. I booked the Summer Sun-Kissed Serenity Package, and it was worth every minute. Marcia took care of my body polish and massage. She was fantastic!! Super attentive and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. She checked that I liked the pressure during the massage, which was tailored exactly to what I needed.... and the body polish left my skin so smooth and refreshed. For my facial and waxing, I saw Kirby, who was incredible. She's so friendly, detail-oriented, and professional. My facial left my skin glowing, and the waxing was done quickly and as pain-free as possible. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel cared for during my special pamper day. Everything felt luxurious yet approachable, and I walked out relaxed, rejuvenated, and feeling like a brand-new person. This place is a must if you want to treat yourself. I promise you won't regret it... I'm already excited for my next appointment! read more

I can't say enough positive things about the services and staff at this day spa. I've never had a bad experience. Today I had the Hydra Súmmum facial with Heidy and she is absolutely incredible! I left feeling refreshed so well cared for. Can't wait to go back! Suz Atchison read more

I visited Fountains Day Spa once, and had a great, relaxing experience. After my infant daughter was diagnosed with cancer just before Christmas last year, my husband thought a spa day would be a perfect gift and purchased a spa day gift certificate for me. I emailed to check their availability, and asked what their cancellation policy was, given she may need chemotherapy in the coming weeks, potentially with little notice. The response below was internal communication that wasn't meant to see, but was accidentally left on the email thread. Tee is a hurtful, callous person to respond in such a manner, especially given all I did was ask what their policy was, and at no point asked for any special treatment. Tee has made me feel unwelcome and uncomfortable to even step foot in that place again. My infant daughter's cancer is, and always will be more important than a spa service, especially when the practitioner is disgustingly inconsiderate and thoughtless. 0/10. Rude, hurtful, inconsiderate and insensitive employee named Tee. Hope he never has a baby with cancer, and if he does, that his community is far kinder to him than he is to others. read more

I can't say enough how much I love the reflexology at Fountain's Day Spa. I love that Suzanne talks to you and tells you the points she is working on. I have had reflexology before but they never discussed the points they were hitting as they worked. On the days I have the service done, I sleep so well. When my mom was in town, I treated her to reflexology. It was her first time and she loved it! It will be her treat every visit! My husband uses Andi for massages here. I highly recommend Fountains Day Spa! Check them out! read more

I want to start this review off by saying Carla is one of the best massage therapists to work on me. Carla and the massage were an easy 5 stars. My deep tissue massage with Carla was amazing. I have been dealing with some low back and hamstring tightness and she was determined to get me right! Carla provided a warm and relaxing environment for me while providing me with great care. She applied strong pressure without causing pain or discomfort and she was intentional to check in with me throughout. The experience that I had with the desk staff is what influenced my decision to drop one star. There were two women at the desk when I arrived about 5 minutes before my massage. One was warm and welcoming, and the other was definitely less so. Neither of the receptionists were rude at all to be clear. However, since this day spa was highly recommended, I expected to feel more welcomed and appreciated as a first-time client. So again, no one did anything wrong but I did not expect to feel as if my presence was an indifference. read more

I had a wonderful experience at Fountain's! Reception was welcoming, the atmosphere felt peaceful and smelled amazing. Marcia checked in with me regularly during massage to ensure pressure was just right, medium to deep pressure felt great on my very tight neck & shoulders area. Looking forward to next visit! Thank you - Krista C. read more

This was my forst visit to the spa. I had a most amazing massage by Loretta. She really listened to my issues and helped me feel much better. I would highly recommend Fountains Day Spa! read more

I just got a hot stone massage on Saturday and I absolutely loved it. I've been dealing with elevated stress levels lately and this was so relaxing. The stress just melted away. I have been to Fountain's Day Spa multiple times and have gotten massages and facials and they always do a fantastic job. I'm looking forward to my next visit already. So folks will know that this is a real review, Catherine Oemig read more

This is my second time trying to get in contact via Yelp. Both time I've been ignored and unanswered. With their reviews and choices I wanted to experience their spa. There are so many eager and willing spas in the Old Town to offer me their business. I am disappointed I've waited twice now on Yelp to secure an appointment. Here is a photo of my message from 3 days ago. Apparently Yelps accuracy for response is invalid. Lastly, they have a 100% response. read more

I went to the Fountains Spa in Old Town Alexandria with a friend and were lucky enough to get in for an 80 minutes massage on the same day. Marsha gave me one of the best messages I've ever had. Everyone was welcoming and gracious. Thank you, thank you. Avis Vesely read more

My wife LOVED her experience here with Edith, her masseuse. Prices are decent as well (tips are in cash or Venmo). Definitely recommend.

Francis is a GEM Helped me so much with my skincare & my facial was lovely. 10/10 I'll be back!

The timeliness. 80 minutes should be 80 minutes. It is greatly appreciated. Experience matters as well!

I requested a facial with Francis. What a treat! He has so much experience and is an expert in skin care needs. He has been with the Fountains Day Spa for many years. He is a lovely person and has an extremely low key personality which helps to relax you while you're getting the facial of a lifetime! He treats you wonderfully and is a super knowledgeable aesthetician. He'll help to guide you toward the type of facial that you and he decide might be best for your skincare needs. You can't go wrong at Fountains Day Spa. You'll want to go soon because a morning or an afternoon at the Fountains Day Spa is a really special experience. They also offer many other spa services. read more

I started coming to this spa some 5-6 years ago. Love Suzanne, the owner. She's caring, professional, and absolutely top notch as an aesthetician. Even after I moved away from this area after covid, I still made a point to come see her for a facial whenever I was in town. I would've given this place a five-star were it not for the receptionist's poor service. I've disliked dealing with this woman from day one. She's incredibly unpleasant and treats customers with a tone and demeanor that is quite disrespectful. The good spas all make you feel welcome and pampered. In every interaction I've had with the receptionist, she's acted like she's a school teacher and the customer third-grader. It's highly offensive, especially given that this spa isn't exactly cheap. I ignored the unpleasantness for years because I was a huge fan of Suzanne's. Last month was when the unpleasantness reached a new height. I made an appointment with Suzanne and wanted to make some changes before the 24-hour deadline. The receptionist refused to accommodate in her usual unpleasant fashion. I was never informed of the restrictions she mentioned when I made my appointment. I asked if I could speak to Suzanne. The receptionist said no and informed me that she was Suzanne's daughter and spoke for the owner. That last part was truly annoying. There's nothing wrong with a family business but the receptionist clearly has a sense of entitlement. In some ways, it explains her bad service and bad attitude. I canceled the appointment with Suzanne and will not be going back. It's too bad. Suzanne had provided wonderful facials and addressed my skincare needs over the years. Yet her daughter provided the reason to end that relationship. read more

Please take warning and review all of the other posts regarding gift certificates. If you buy a gift certificate from this business they are unable to verify that it is theirs if it expires. We had a gift certificate that expired during the pandemic and they got to keep the money for the gift certificate without providing a service. They made profit on a gift certificate scam. We were unable to redeem it because the employee said she could not verify that it was real. It was in their hand writing, had their company logo on it, and was issued by them. I will never use them again for any services, and will be passing this information onto the client that gave us the certificate, and our community to stop using them. This is an unethical business practice in this age of technology. read more

Great spot for prenatal massages. However the front desk service could be improved. It's as if the rules changes based on the reps feelings which comes off a bit biased in my opinion. Customer care can definitely be improved. Ambiance is nice and the therapist service is always great. read more

I love this place! It's such a cute vibe (relaxing townhome in old town) and the massage therapists are amazing. I have knots for days and Marcia worked them out - already looking forward to my next visit. Definitely recommend! read more

The hydra dermis facial with reflexology are excellent. Getting the reflexology during the facial allows the moisture mask time to infuse more moisture into my skin. The staff are very courteous and the spa is very clean. This facial has made a big difference in the condition of my skin. I often receive compliments on my complexion - this facial makes the difference!!! Thank you Francis V!!! read more

Had a facial with Amsale today. She was lovely. She did a wonderful treatment, explained what she was doing, and my skin looks so much brighter.Definitely going back to see her for additional treatments. The staff is also very nice and the inside is very cute and welcoming. The prices are reasonable for the location and the products. I can see why this location has so many positive reviews. read more

I got a package deal as a gift. It included a facial, scrub, and massage. It was my first dry scrub. I'm not sure if I didn't like that, or I wasn't a fan of the spa. But, it wasn't a particularly relaxing experience. I much prefer the standard (less fancy, less expensive) Korean spa skin scrubs. The massage was nice in terms of pressure, but the masseuse purposefully put shea into my hair. Omg, I cannot stand that sensation. I left feeling icky. The facial wasn't possible because no one was in that provided that service, which is fine because I used most of the extra gift card credit on a large heating pad (by Kozi) from the spa merchandise area. This thing is AMAZING. I'll probably use the rest of the credit to buy a second one. I LOVE it so much. I've even recommended it to several people. Google "Kozi spa heat pack - for the back" if you want to see it. read more

Highly recommend a visit to this charming and cozy spa. The staff was lovely, and my therapist, Lauretta, was attentive and a true professional. Already booked my second appointment. read more

I've gone to Fountains for several years now. I always get a massage, but usually I'm going just to relax, not for pain relief. Today's massage was a combination (medium pressure) 80-minute massage with hot stones. I have sciatica and trouble with intense muscle tightness in my legs. The masseuse focused just the right amount of attention on my legs before turning to my back and neck. She was fabulous. I left feeling so much better. I will definitely return. read more

Been coming to Fountains for over a year. Carla is my therapist of choice. Her 50-minute deep tissue massages give me life and keep me going. I get the massage package to prioritize this piece of my self care, so all I have to do at the end of my session is make the next appointment and show Carla my gratitude. Also, the front desk staff couldn't be nicer and more helpful. read more

I just had the most amazing facial today with Megan at Fountains Day Spa! She listened closely to my skincare concerns and made me feel so relaxed and rejuvenated. I always suffer from dry skin in the winter weather, but Megan has my skin looking dewy and absolutely glowing! I honestly don't even want to wear makeup when I go out for dinner tonight, because she made my skin look naturally beautiful. I actually made an appointment to come back for another facial in a couple of months so that Megan can rescue my skin again when the weather gets to freezing temps. The receptionists were also lovely and friendly. I can't recommend Fountains highly enough! read more

I had some free time today and had been pondering about book a reflexology session. Thankfully a space was available. Courteous front desk that went over all the Covid questions etc. This was very comforting. Free 2 hour parking was a huge plus. My therapist was Francis who did a brief overview of reflexology without getting bogged down in the details. My session was very thorough. Francis was used the perfect amount of pressure. Honestly, I think the only negative was the size of the service room. Not a big deal but I guess I'm more concerned about the space the various therapists have to work in and if it's comfortable for them. At any rate, I'll definitely book again. I'd like to try other treatments as well. read more

I arrived totally stressed and left feeling amazing. For those of you like me who hardly ever take time for yourself; I highly recommend the occasional spa day. The staff including the receptionists were all welcoming and courteous and the facial and massage were expertly done. I definitely will be back! read more

I got a great 50-minute massage from Marcia, and wished it could have been longer. She did a wonderful job, was responsive to my needs/issues, and was kind and caring. The front desk staff were lovely. I would definitely go back! read more

I had my facial on Friday with Francis was absolutely amazing! Not only did it feel great and was super relaxing and my skin felt amazing after. Looked so pretty. But more important Francis was so attentive and provided me with so much information about what he was noticing on my skin and let me know what he was doing during the process. I will definitely recommend this place to family and friends. read more

Hi guys, just to warn some people like me who are not using gift certificates a lot. THEY EXPIRE. very disappointed to find out my birthday gift certificate to this salon expired. $150! I honestly did not check the certificate that did state the expiration date but why to have an expiration date on a birthday certificate?! so customers forget and then cannot use it. not a good way to run business. Beware. read more

AMAZING experience the 2nd time around. I learned about this hidden gem this year and went October and again in December, both times was an enjoyable experience. However, my experience in December was incredible as my massage therapist Laretta was awesome. Ask for the 80 minute combination massage, you won't be disappointed. -Tamika H. read more

Such a great spa!! My husband got a gift card for me for Mother's Day, and I went in for one of their stress-free bundles. It included a massage, facial, and reflexology. I felt AMAZING after!! I have been dreaming of going back because of how good I felt after. They also made the check-in/check-out process so easy by already having my gift card pulled up when I arrived. The process was very easy. Will definitely be rebooking all of these services soon! read more

Had a great experience getting a facial with Megan, and the results have really shown! Clear skin and leaving there glowing every time. It's my go to place in Alexandria. read more

Not all spas are created equally. Fountains Day Spa was truly a magical experience from the moment you hit the door to the moment you float out the door. The service is extremely professional and comforting. During my first visit to the spa, I was taken care of by Carla for my massage and Suzanne for my facial. Both women are extremely extraordinary and made me feel right at home at the spa. Carla is bubbly and extremely professional; she will definitely make sure you are relaxed once you slide off her table. Suzanne is a ball of wisdom, and I am truly blessed to have met her. Suzanne is one of those people you wish you were related to because she was put on the planet to change the world; she is doing exactly that (just go speak with her). The service provided by Tina at the front desk is beyond customer service standards. Tina ensured I understood every aspect of the process even before coming to the spa. She is honest, kind, and beautiful. Huge thank you to the Fountain Day Spa team. I will definitely see you again. read more

I want to start off by saying the actual massage was amazing. My therapist, Amy, did a great job. It was very relaxing and she applied good medium pressure which I appreciated. The only reason I'm giving an average review is because I felt the front desk could be more approachable. I called a few weeks ago to book my appointment, and while I received the info I needed I still felt the interaction was cold. I inquired on how gift cards work and I felt the answers were condescending in a "uh didn't you read the website" kind of way. Which I did.. but I still feel like expanding on additional questions shouldn't come with attitude especially at a zen spa. On the day of my appointment I provided my gift card upfront as instructed, but after my massage the front desk attendant said I did not give a gift card. I said I had and noted what kind of gift card it was, which she then found and apologized. All in all it was fine since I paid what was expected, but I would hope the front desk would be more warm and accommodating instead of tense initial interactions. read more

After a weeklong conference in southern Virginia, my flight home out of nearby Reagan airport was delayed by many hours, so I decided to make the best of it and go find a local spa for a massage. SO GLAD I found Fountain- their staff was so sweet and accommodating (they even stored my luggage for me during my massage) and Linda did a fantastic job during the massage itself. My shoulders were pretty tight from the conference and it was great boarding my cross-country flight back home with my back feeling so much better. It's also just such a cute setting- they've really made it relaxing and welcoming from the minute you walk in the door. I highly recommend and would go back next time I'm in the area. read more

I had the most amazing massage, it was incredibly relaxing !!! 10/10 recommend this place!

Fountains was my first stop post COVID vaccine last month after reviewing their COVID protocols online, which seemed appropriate. I proudly told my therapist that I had been vaccinated as a healthcare worker and finally felt comfortable coming in for a session. Her response was to tell me that she had the opportunity as a licensed professional to be vaccinated but declined and "wasn't that into western medicine" and spent a significant portion of the session asking me questions about the vaccine. While technique was excellent it was incredibly uncomfortable . An email to the manager including my intention to never return based on my experience resulted in with no attempt to remedy the situation including the lukewarm comment "I think based on your letter I need to move forward with looking into distributing more education on the vaccines to all of my staff" read more
