I was seeking a coworking space in Charlottesville for a couple of days and Studio IX welcomed us…read morewith open arms! It's in a great location within IX Art Park, so there are other businesses nearby to grab a bite or grassy fields to simply take a break while working. The space is rather big, with lots of areas to choose from for working. While they do have dedicated desks, there's also plenty of flex space all around. For amenities, they have conference rooms that you can sign up for with 30 minute intervals, private booths for phone conversations, a printer/scanner, kitchen, and free coffee, along with other snacks for sale. We paid $30 per person, per day, since we were just visiting, but they have plenty of membership plans you can peep on their website. It doesn't seem like Cville has a lot of spaces like this, so definitely check out Studio IX for your coworking needs! I'll surely come back if the need arises.

They have new artists coming in every two months and all of them will be women and/or LGBTQ artists. It was a free show to attend and on the first day they had light bites and drinks. It felt like attending a friend's art showing. It was very intimate and sweet. This place also doubles as a meeting place and photo spot. You can check out https://linktr.ee/yellowhouserva to rent the Yellow House for a photoshoot or a meeting. To rent it for a photoshoot it's $100/hr with three hour minimum. To rent it for a meeting, it's $100/hr with two hour minimum. If you read more about this space online, you find that "Yellow House was created to be a gathering place for people to have thoughtful and meaningful conversations in mind." Which matches the feeling I had when I first entered the space. I'm excited to see more of their art shows in the future.

I had a wonderful experience here and I would highly recommend!! I'm honestly shocked there are no…read morereviews yet!! To set the stage, a friend and I were visiting another friend who lives in Charlottesville for a BRIEF weekend (literally 24 hours from Sat-Sun). We spontaneously decided that we all wanted to get additional ear piercings at 5pm on Saturday. We searched Yelp for options, and unfortunately (after calling several places) were not able to make appointments on such short notice. Until about 1pm on Sunday!!! We had been looking on Yelp mostly, but saw that Spitfire had positive reviews on Google. We called and were able to make appointments for that afternoon (an hour later)!! This place is relatively new (I believe they just opened in February), and the place is spacious, sparkling clean, and comfortable (with really nice couches in the waiting area and individual rooms fully equipped with materials)! My friends and I received our piercings from Ariel, who was incredible! Two of us just got a second set of piercings on the lobes, while my third friend received a cartilage piercing. Once we selected our earrings, Ariel carefully consulted our ears and discussed with us where we'd like the additional piercing(s). We were so impressed by Ariel's expertise, commitment to clean and sterile technique, and ability to put us all at ease by walking us through the entire process. We also received detailed and helpful instructions about proper healing and care. This is my first time getting a piercing since I got my first set at age 14, and it was such a fabulous experience! The staff were all so responsive, friendly, and welcoming (both as they made our appointments and in-person). It's clear that they all have a ton of experience in piercings/tattooing. They've also done an amazing job setting up their space. I'm writing this review a week out and my new piercings look great and are healing so well. We're so glad that they were able to accommodate us in our 11th hour attempt to get piercings before our weekend ended!! **Aside from obviously being very sanitary for piercing reasons, they were also very COVID-safe!!**

But when I got in, I was very pleased. The atmosphere is very chill. Great music and staff was extremely nice. Scott took me back and completed the tattoo quickly and accurately.

I figure I'd get an idea by the time the time the appointment rolled around. You'll be very happy if you get work done here.

It's in the lesser known neighorhood of Langdon in NE DC (south of Brookland). The building itself is historic and giant. It's well kept maintaining its old charm. Inside are art studios for a collection of DC small businesses and creatives. Twice a year they open the warehouse to the public to showcase each studio's work. As you wander throughout the building, talk to the artists, enjoy the snacks they lay out in each room, and get to know their stories. Many of them are native to this city and express their perspectives through their beautiful art.
