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!

My girlfriends and I decided to have a little date day here, and we had a great time! Parking can…read morebe a bit of a hassle, but we all made it in a timely manner. They had a section reserved for us, and when we arrived, everything was already set up with mirrors, tissues, wipes, and all the other items needed to create your own lip product. The space is a decent size, and the décor is very chic! I could see it getting a little tight if there's a really large party, but it worked perfectly for us. I decided to make a lip balm because I couldn't find a lip color that I really loved, and honestly, I didn't want to be there all day. The process was pretty cool, and our instructor (or should I say Lip Lab Scientist? ) was great and very patient, especially when I changed my mind and switched from making a lipstick to a lip balm! This is definitely a fun activity to do with your girlfriends! I also love that, for a small fee, you can get refills of the product you made since they keep your formula on file. That's a nice touch! Overall, we had a fun experience and I'd definitely recommend it for a girls' day or date day!

It took me 45 minutes to get there for no help at all. I'm sure there are other Korean skincare boutiques in Annandale.

Thank you, Megan! I'll definitely be back for some more pampering, and you should go see her, too!

She is incredibly knowledgeable and a pro at her craft; in my first appointment she was able to explain my skin type to me and what types of products are best for it, and she was spot on! Her facial service doesn't skimp on anything - steam, extractions, masks, incredible facial massage (my fave part - you leave looking contoured), a comfy heated table/bed and relaxing spa music all included. Her studio in Georgetown is impeccably decorated and in a great location right by the Four Seasons on M Street. Lisa herself is a lovely person and I always enjoy chatting with her during my appointments (though if you prefer to relax in silence she won't press you). Next I think I am going to try her Yumi Lash Lift & tint! Highly recommend. :)

She's helped me get rid of my acne, and always goes above and beyond at each appointment to help treat my scarring and any remaining acne. The picture on the left shows my skin at the end of January and the picture on the right shows my skin now as of this morning (7/13).
