10 stars all around! I signed up for the monthly membership a little more than a year ago when my…read moreskin was going through major hormonal and cystic acne. The team at silver mirror slow walked me through getting my skin back to a healthy state. I'm now in a MUCH better state. I work with Maya and she's incredibly knowledgeable, especially with melanated skin, and makes sure my monthly facial is addressing the needs and concerns of my skin. The space is very calming, the staff are welcoming AND I love that they're open late during the week (so you can go after work if you need to).

I first visited Silver Mirror Facial Bar in DuPont Circle as part of a YelpDC event. I loved my…read morefacial soo much that I returned to that location with my cousin and I purchased memberships for us. Attempting to make an appointment at that location, there was no availability. I made appointments for us at this location. We were able to get afternoon appointments for the date we selected. When that date rolled around, I was given a call about coming in earlier due to the parade that was supposed to be happening. (I won't mention who the parade was for). Once I mentioned we weren't locals, I was told whenever you get here we'll take you right back. We were greeted upon arrival and offered water. It was a short wait for our esthetician and our facials soon began. The one thing that I love is that my esthetician was black (every time we visit | even at the other location). I felt very much at ease and she really knew what she was doing. My facial was sooo relaxing and my skin came out feeling so refreshed. She really listened to what I needed for my skin. My cousin loved her facial and she looked really dewy and glowy afterwards. The young lady at the desk even gave her skincare product advice. We will definitely be back if DuPont Circle is not available. My only concern is when making the appointment, I had no way of letting them know that my cousin has her own membership, so they had to cancel her appointment and reschedule it under her own account. (I pay for both memberships!)

Aura Spa is a quality spa inside the Vida Fitness in Navy Yard without breaking the bank. Here's…read morewhy I enjoyed it: 1) Location: It's inside the Vida Fitness in Navy Yard. Check in at the gym front desk and head straight back through the door that says "Aura Spa." There's street and garage parking nearby and a metro only blocks away. 2) Price: For a 60-minute quality massage in a nice environment, it only cost $115 not including tip. For this area, that's not bad. 3) Experience: It was a great experience. They made sure you stay hydrated, don't make you wait, and don't talk to you during the massage so you can relax.

Let me preface by saying there are two entrances to VIDA fitness, one facing 4th Street SE, and the…read moremain doors/entrance where the spa is, faces Tingey Street SE (basically just around the corner!). See photo attached for entrance to the spa. I came here because I pulled my shoulder and it hurt to bend, turn, lay down, sit up, and basically everything else. I saw Agnes and she was amazing. She was attentive and gentle but still got the job done. The inside was so calm, and the ambience was relaxing and chill. I definitely felt pampered. I scheduled my appointment last night and was able to get in today. I have another appointment later this week since my massage therapist back home said to wait 5-7 days if you're getting a massage for a targeted area/for muscle pain, but I will definitely come here again! Another Yelper said $115/60 mins is great for Navy Yard, and while I think I could find less elsewhere, Agnes was worth it and I cant wait to go again. I felt immediate relief in my shoulder, and she even worked out knots in my lower back. She provided a full body massage (head, neck, shoulders, back, lower back, glutes, legs) and I left feeling like a new person.

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.

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!

I didn't know anything about it before I arrived and at first was kind of taken aback by the boisterous, open atmosphere, especially as someone who went to Silver Mirror for over a year. I think if you embrace Hi, Skin for what it is and not expect a relaxing spa experience, then you can really enjoy it. The atmosphere was actually fun for a Friday evening and I ended up enjoying the energy and interacting with some other customers. My esthetician was Chrissy and she was great. We talked about my skin the products I'm currently using (she knew all of them) and she had some great recommendations but I didn't feel like she was trying to upsell me on anything. She had an amazing facial massage technique and pressure and also did a little shoulder massage (after asking) while a peel sat on my face. I signed up for a membership and look forward to going back next month.

Before I went to Doan, I went to some high-end salon and spent about 1/3 of my paycheck for okay results. I decided to try Doan in search of a more affordable way to keep up with my blonde highlight habit, and I am so happy I found her. The salon itself is lovely and I am always impressed by how much Doan gets done in a day. She is a one woman powerhouse. My blonde hair is healthy and stylish in Doan's hands.

Doan is super nice and i enjoyed having her bleach my hair for me. I came in asking for grey…read morehighlights and despite her bleaching my hair 2x it came out more of an ashy brown (which I was fine with). She did a great job on the bleaching and it's not damaged at all. The main gripe I have is that the dye she put on top washed out after one wash with purple shampoo, something that had never happened to me before when I had gotten my hair balayaged elsewhere in the past (nor when I'd gotten it toned every two months). She'd recommended using overtone conditioner--unfortunately, the silver overtone conditioner did nothing except give my hair a green twinge (looks a lot like hay currently.) When I panicked and told Doan about this she was kind and offered me useful advice--clarifying shampoo, which I hadn't thought about--and relayed the brand of dye she used so I wouldn't have an alternative salon use it on me in the future. Sadly, only two weeks after getting my hair done I'm going to have to go somewhere else to get it fixed, hence the three stars. :(
