I'm coming back next Saturday for a massage and will be back next month for another facial. I want to stop wearing makeup and if my skin always looks this great, that will totally be possible! I also love that she did not try to sell anything to me. And they have the best table with raised arms and it's roomy. Some of those massage tables are so narrow but this was comfy and I didn't worry about falling out of it!

Pretty good experience - a little on the fence…read more I was presented a gift card to the Sugar House Day Spa and Salon. It had been some time since I received a massage, so I was looking forward to this visit! There is a parking garage conveniently located next to the spa, so that was great. The staff at the entrance promptly greeted me and asked if it was my first time. The process of checking in and getting around was simplified by them taking the time to walk me where I needed to go rather than just telling me, which was appreciated. I was walked to the area where I changed into a robe and was subsequently accompanied to the massage area. Unfortunately for me, there were a lot of stairs, something that my knee and foot surgeries did not appreciate. It was a little awkward to sit in a small, public waiting area wearing a robe but it's a minor sacrifice. I had a massage with Audrey, who was very nice and professional. I appreciated that she took the time to ask me about my concern areas and my goals for the massage. The massage itself was good, though I unfairly compare massages to my former therapist who was exceptional. Audrey was very communicative and, even for someone who finds it difficult to relax, it was a good experience. Overall, The Sugar House Day Spa is worth a visit - it's also worth purchasing a gift card for someone. They will appreciate it! (NOTE: you can use the funds from the gift card to supplement a tip)

She loved it. Monique was her manicurist for many years. I've done countless pickups for both her and my daughters at this place and she spent lots of money here. My money, lol. Services are definitely unique to the individual providing them so I would definitely judge accordingly. She always got the mani/pedi combo from Monique - until she left. Good business, but consistency is variable.

I can't rave enough about Pure Aesthetica. I've gotten facials at 2 other places in the local area…read morebut found the places just lacking and quite frankly, the prices are too expensive. I found Pure Aesthetica by doing a pot of research to make sure they use products that don't irritate my skin. Came here before the pandemic and during the pandemic. Their protocols during the pandemic was appreciated and I'm so happy they took precautions because it made me feel confident in going especially that I was desperate. I had some major maskne issues that really needed to be addressed. Tiffany always does my facials and she's great. She tailors the facial according to your needs. I always get the regular 3 in 1 facial. My favorite is the micro current and the oxygen afterwards. It just makes my face so nice, subtle, and soft. Been coming here for about 2 years now and counting! They have specials for new customers so check that out if you're interested in trying. They also get booked very quickly so make sure to book way in advance. Prices are affordable in my opinion. Other places charge over $200 for a facial which does not even include micro current or oxygen or microdermabrasion. The 3 in 1 is so affordable and is about an hour. This is the best quality of facial for your money. Plus staff is fully vaccinated!

I was able to make an appointment through email and they told me to come in on Sunday at 2 PM. I was ready to head out when I saw I had a few missed calls and voicemails asking if I could come in at 1 PM. However, by the time I checked it was already 20 mins past that. So I called them back and they told me that they had some sort of emergency and if I could come in at 4 PM instead. Thankfully, I was able to move some things around go in at that time. Once I arrived, I was asked to fill out a form that they would send me via email. I sat there for a few minutes until she did so. But moments later, the aesthetician came out and said that she is ready for me. I told her that I am still waiting for them to send me a form that I was asked to fill out. There seemed to be some misunderstanding or lack of communication between the front desk, person, and the aesthetician. I wish they had sent these forms before my appointment so I didn't have to waste time doing it there and cut into the time I was supposed to be starting the facial. I felt very rushed towards the beginning of my service. While I was filling out the form, the aesthetician (Darat) offered me some tea, which was a lovely touch. Then I headed in for my spa service. The actual facial itself was wonderful. One of the best ones I've gotten in a while. I told her that I recently got a nose piercing and to be careful around it as it is still healing. She was extremely careful and I felt no pain or sensitivity. She even threw in some head, arm and foot massages which I absolutely needed! It felt like a true spa experience. That is the reason I am giving it 4 stars, but docking one star because I wish the actual spa was a bit more organized in their scheduling and overall logistics. I think they have the potential, and I think I will be returning for another facial with Darat!

After a crazy week of work, I decided to play hookie on Friday and take a me day. I arrived on time and lucked up with 2 hr street parking on Madison. This spa is located in Old Town Alexandria so parking can be tricky. Anyhoo it's in the same building as One Life Fitness. Very easy to find. Not too many amenities to enjoy before being serviced and a very small restroom/changing area. Literally 1 toilet and 2 showers. The entire spa was really small. I felt bad like I was cheating on my regular masseuse. LOL but this was a gift! So I guess I can make an exception ;) My service was with Suzy. I opted for the 50 min hot stone massage and I did inform Suzy that I wanted a full body reset and gave her the green light to really apply pressure and dig deep into my massage. Deep tissue, full body massage!!! Susy was a little too gentle with me lol my massage felt more like a body rub with hot stones. Anyhoo! Very sweet place- just not for me. Happy Yelping!

From the moment I walked in I KNEW this was going to be an amazing experience! First impression is always the welcome of the staff and the reception area. Both were immaculate! I was greeted with an enthusiastic welcome and an encouraging smile!! Loved that! After a very brief wait in the serene/relaxing reception area, I was led to the back. I was given an outfit to change into (you're fully clothed during the Thai massage) and it was soft and very comfortable! I had an "idea" of what a Thai massage was so I wasn't blindsided when I walked into the room and saw the pallet; that the massage was to take place on, on the floor. This type of massage doesn't take place on the typical massage table. The whole vibe of the room was a mix of a relaxing spa and HEAVEN! My therapist came into the room and the magic started!! While stretching my body, she found knots on my body that I didn't even know I had! She contorted my body in ways I didn't know it w could bend! She then got a walker and began walking on my back...my legs...my feet, my arms...my hands...you get it! The only place she didn't walk on was my head (they offer a separate massage especially for your head and I plan on checking it out as well)!! The head massage is called an "Indian head" massage . My body is usually riddled with constant pain (especially my hips and legs). Can you imagine my excitement when I got up from the floor and there was not a pain in my body to be found?!!! I got the massage on May 12th and to this day the pain has not returned (it is May 19th)!!! They close out the session with a wonderful cup of tea! *Ahhhhhh* I have now added this massage into my budget (I want this once a month for sure)!! I'll come back and update this review with the details of the massage for my head!!

I was specifically looking for skilled Licensed Massage Therapists, and their setup looked promising. I booked a 75-minute therapeutic session with Tatiana and it was far beyond "good." It was easily one of the best and most effective massages I've ever had! As someone who is knowledgeable about proper technique and tends to be quite critical, I was thoroughly impressed. Tatiana is simply amazing, and my only regret was not booking a full two hours! Tip for first-timers: The building is set back from Duke Street and isn't directly visible from the road, so give yourself a few extra minutes to find it. It is well worth checking out, and I will definitely be booking a 2-hour session with Tatiana on my next visit.
