Nice lady, if it wasn't if she was a SCAMMER. she first off lied to us that these bracelets were real crystals. however upon further investigation, they are beads from Micheal's. this lady may seem nice, but DONT buy from her. tarot cards are over priced at $75 minimu, but I bought mine at $15. secondof all, when we tried to make a return, which wasn't specified before hand that she doesn't do, that the bracelet was bided to me because of energy. little does she know that sweat shop made glass isn't binding. for these reasons, everyone who is considering buying from her should first of all save the money and cast a karma spell on her, don't worry about protection spells because she DOESNT have because she isn't a real witch. thank you. read more

I enjoyed my experience at the psychic shops. I had a tarot reading which confirmed some thoughts on energies around me and some insights into how to deal with them. The 20 minute was pleasant, questions asked felt intentional and my reader was a great listener who explained her interpretation of the cards. Beautiful, welcoming space as well ! 4 stars pending update. read more

Charly is very warm and inviting. The environment is comforting and relaxing upon entry. Charly was able to provide my 30-minute,1/2 deck tarot reading with conciseness and with depth. She provided the confirmation my soul needed to know I was accurately acknowledging and trusting my own intuition in many situations both personally and professionally. Charly also offered many other supporting options to continue to cleanse, heal and further support my energetic reading and metaphysical/spiritual growth development. read more

First time ever getting a palm reading and I was shocked. Everything she said was so on point, it's like she knew me already and what I had gone thru with my life. My past love, my school, my hardships, everything. I am still shocked and I'm really impressed. I teared up, I feel better. Thank you Charley! Can't wait to get my Tarot cards read next read more

A friend and I spent her birthday weekend on DuPont Circle. The first time we passed this place, she said she wanted to try. I was skeptical. I was skeptical all the way up until we passed it for the 3rd time and she got a half deck reading. So, when we first walked in Tracy was just hanging out on her phone and I thought yeah we finna get ripped off, lol. My friend went first while I searched for a restroom. After we discussed her reading and I decided I'd try. I went in with no expectations and I'm glad that I did. She gave me a reading that was spot on. All the things she mentioned were things/issues I had conversations with the various folks in my life about at various points over the past couple months. I'm giving a 5 star review because of something she said to me about my job. Keep in mind I never told her what I did or how I felt about it. She told me in more or less words: you love your job but you don't necessarily like working at a desk and don't feel you're being used to your fullest potential. Someone at work is taking credit for the work you do and you don't really mind because you like helping people. But that person will be leaving soon, which will open the door for you to get promoted. Prepare mentally and emotionally because it's going to be a big change and you will have new responsibilities. I immediately knew who she was referring to. Anyhow, not even a month later, there's talks of that person leaving the company. There a many other things that she told me that were spot on but I mentioned that specifically because it happened very quickly. Will definitely be contacting Tracy for future readings! read more

Final Review: (update after 5ish years later) Hi Everyone, I want to tell you all about Nicole. I am so THANKFUL for her that I could cry! She helped me out of the darkest period in my life. She gave me knowledge and guidance I needed and now I feel unstoppable, clear minded and GRATEFUL! I've never been this close to my higher self. Prior to Nicole and a lot of my own research to work on myself, I have come SO far! I can't speak for anyone else, but Nicole - y'all... trust her! She is pure and she will give you the guidance as along as you allow it. She is THE TRUTH! She will tell you THE TRUTH! She really wants to help you! I've had so many epiphanies and this last one made me share this! Nicole, I'm forever thankful for you. I stepped into your shop about 5ish years ago and I wish I would have done the candles at that moment! I KNOW, I now know that it would have helped me a lot. However, I didn't and life happened. Nevertheless, I was brought to an even brighter light after the darkness, so thank you! I hate that I always have to learn stuff the hard way! I've found it has a lot to do with my Capricorn placements. Nicole, thank you! Thank You! THANK YOU! Y'all - listen to her! She will literally help your life stay on track, but always remember even if you get off track and even if you don't listen to her, fate will put you back on track, but why do it the hard way? Love & light read more

Disclaimer: I'm totally into stuff like this and am always willing to try it out I've walked by this place for years, after work on my way to DuPont station, thinking one day I would stop in for a tarot reading and finally the day arrived. I read with Charley. She has a super calming vibe and her reading was accurate. She described specific past and current events and people with no previous explanation from me. She took my hands at one point and I got very "tingly" for lack of better words. Not sure what that was but hey ... A good sign lol She did mention the aura cleansing ($1600) mid-way through my full deck ($reading. I asked some questions about what it entails and said I wanted to think about it and she wasn't pushy at all. The office is in an older building and the elevator is a little wtf buuuuut the actual suite space is very clean, relaxing, smells of incense and has a great view looking out onto Connecticut Ave. I later met Nicole and she seemed really calm and had a good vibe as well. Overall it was a really nice experience and I'd recommend. I've had other readings in different states and countries and this one was definitely one of the better ones that actually made sense. Holding off on a 5 star rating just because I want to see how things unfold over the next several months. Will update later. ETA: Charlie was super pushy. Even after making an initial sale she tried to squeeze more money out of me. No thanks. read more

First of all, let me say that I didn't go there for a reading, but to shop. The name "The Psychic Shop" suggests that it's a retail store, but there isn't anything for sale except readings. There is the old bait and switch tactic going on here, which is a huge turn off. The sign says "1 palm $10, 2 palms $20" but that is not what she offers. The $10 reading is for character and $20 is for character and future. Either reading lasts about 10 minutes. You can't get a $10 future reading. Charley knows just enough to be dangerous. She was right on about some things, but not about others. She gauges your reaction to see if she can get more money out of you. She suggested that one person needed "soul cleansing" and gave her a price for that. She suggested that another person in our party had a lot going on that she wouldn't tell her without doing the more expensive $65 full psychic profile. Like I said, she does know a little something, but I get a sleazy kind of feeling about it. If she's legit, she should just charge a decent wage and give a full reading. Don't play off people's fears and anxieties to get more money out of them. read more

This place was awesome. Went here with a friend while I was visiting DC. We both had our palms read and she was able to give us specifics regarding our futures and pasts. Kinda eerie how spot-on she was.. Definitely not a 'fake.' If your looking for an authentic psychic experience in the DC area, I would highly recommend. Also, we both originally wanted to have our tarot cards read, but it was around $40 or $50.. Out of our price range. We were able to get a $5 discount each since we both wanted to have our palms read. I really appreciated her working with us. If you're looking for any type of group reading, maybe she would be willing to apply the same type of deal - maybe not, but its always worth a shot. read more

Psychic Shop - Palm readings at The Psychic Shop - Supernatural Readings Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Love and light. I got a reading done by Nicole the last day of December 2017. It's now November 2018 and I must say, she's on point. I asked about some really personal things and she told me the truth because I ended up experiencing exactly what she described. I must say that there are other things I have yet to experience but as most of us know, what's revealed on the spiritual realm sometimes take time on the physical realm and so, I may still be in my cycle. She said I will meet someone in spring. This spring passed by and I didn't meet anyone so she did not say which spring and will be in a relationship come fall/winter . BUT the interesting part is that I may have MET someone in spring...but we don't actually start to date until later on in the year. So these things are accurate, just aren't very direct in the actual timing. Just like she told me I will have twin boys, I absolutely believe that because I always felt that I would. Honestly, Nicole is on point. I will update this review later on as my love life continues. I also went to see another spiritual reader and that woman actually mentioned the same thing about Spring (me meeting a guy). Go see Nicole guys. read more

It was my first palm reading ever, and I was looking forward to it. Unfortunately, it didn't end too well. About 75% of the things she said were at least applicable, which I think is good for a palm reading. However, the tone of the experience overall was unprofessional and dubious. When I decided to try her establishment, I called her number as listed online. She did not pick up. Then, assuming that she may have been busy with a client since it was business hours, I arrived at the shop. I went up, and she was not there. There wasn't even a sign or anything to explain why. I left and called again. This time, she picked up. I told her about my experience so far and she apologized saying she had a personal emergency or something. She asked me if I wanted to schedule a time later in the day when she'd be in. I agreed, and asked her how much it would be for a palm reading only. SHE SAID $20. I said ok and we hung up. I began the six-hour wait for the appointment. When I returned on time for my appointment, I called her to let her know I was coming up. She was there, and we did the reading. After the reading, she marketed a few other products to me. Then she told me that the fee for my session was $50. I objected, reminding her that she told me it was $20 over the phone. She denied telling me that the fee was $20. I then recounted the phone conversation we had earlier. She acknowledged some parts of the story, such as the fact that she was the one I spoke to, and the we had made an evening appointment. Yet, she calmly lied about the rest, even challenging me to go look at her price chart for details. I chose not to do so, because I hardly thought that would help the situation. Besides, as far as I am concerned, the truth needs no proof. Ultimately, she refused to keep her word, however, as a result of our exchange offered me a $10 discount (because I had to wait). In the end, I ended up paying double the price I was told. She had the audacity to hand me her card on the way out AS IF I would ever come back or recommend anyone to her. When I got outside, I sanitized my hands and cast off any negative energy I may have received through touching her. I then put her card in the trash where it belonged. Beware: this reader may be satisfactory in her craft, but she doesn't seem to have a good character. Character affects and directs the quality of what we do and create. If you read this, choose to visit her anyway, and things go awry: don't say no one ever warned you. read more

This was my first psychic reading and I went with two other friends. I was so excited and hopeful.......but it was a horrible reading, nothing was accurate at all. I had three main concerns that I wanted to address when I first came and Charley did not touch on any of the problems. She stated that I was currently talking to three men and that there was an ex who was trying to come back into my life. She stated I tend to go for younger men and should follow a love interest of an older man that I knew at work. She also stated that she did see marriage in my future. She also mentioned that I would travel twice in the next 2 months and I would get a promotion at work. WRONG...everything was just so wrong!!! I am already married, been with the same guy for 8 years, so everything she said was BOGUS. I also work in an environment where there are barely any men.....and my current job situation does not allow for me to get promotions. Also, I'm not too fond of traveling......so like everything else she had stated, was wrong. There were so many other things mentioned that were not even close to being accurate. I was the first to get a reading($100 for a full deck tarot reading), so I did not want to make a scene and ruin my two friend's readings. I told my friends to get half deck ($75) after what I had experienced. FYI, my 1st friend's reading was also totally wrong, and my 2nd friend, only about 40% of the things Charley said was somewhat true. I think these were probably all guesses and some just turned out to be true, but not actual readings or from any "psychic abilities" she had. What a disappointment... please look elsewhere if you are looking for a true psychic....RUN somewhere else, don't waste your money. read more

Very nice facility, the ambiance was nice. I asked for the psychic reading which she said included connecting with past love ones which didn't happen. My tarot reading was very surface level and mostly was based off of me answering questions. It didn't feel genuine and I didn't feel a connection. Nothing pertinent about my current self or future was mentioned. I didn't recognize any guidance or clarity on the the things I'm juggling at the moment. The lady was very nice, but it wasn't what I was looking for. read more

Although she was very accurate, and she spots on many things. i went back to her because she was being correct on her predictions, but she tried soooooo hard to make me pay for chakra balancing which will cost me totally around $330. I said no I can't afford it, then she tried to sell me another cleansing which also cost $100! And when I denied all of them, she was rushing on the rest of my reading. Sorry, $65 still costs a lot for me for psychic reading I'd rather spend $330 on other stuffs than just for balancing my chakras which will heal itself later on. Update : a year later... she used to warn me to be careful with someone who's jealous and has negative energy. She mentioned how that person looked like. At that time I didn't believe that the person she mentioned about was jealous etc (but yeah! She described about appearance which was similar to someone who was really in my life.) however a year later.... it turned out that she was jealous of me and everyone around her! It's like wow! How can Charley know that?! read more

Meeeehhhh..... I don't really know how to feel about this place. First off, I made an appointment to see Charley at 5. I arrived promptly, she actually answered the door (on the phone), proceeded to sit me down and say someone would be with me right away. I didn't even know that was Charley who answered the door, she didn't say "I" will be right with you, she said "someone". So I sit and relax, flip through a few of the astrology books they have on the coffee table and whatnot... And I sit... And I sit some more... Finally I look at my watch and its 5:35. I made the appointment at 5 because I had other places to be, and it wasn't like they had a bunch of people walking in and out (I believe I was the only one there, with the exception of someone who came out of a reading while I was waiting with another psychic) so I'm like seriously, WTF. I had a good 40 minutes almost to mull over what I wanted (palm reading, tarot, etc), and I had planned on spending a good $50-75 based on the positive reviews on Yelp that she's received, but at this point I'm a little annoyed. I knock on the door to the back part of the studio, she's sitting on the couch (STILL on the phone) and I motion my index finger to my watch while saying, "Do you know when Charley will be available? I'm a little pressed for time, which is why I made an appointment for 5..." Forgot to mention I had been calling this place multiple times for the last two weeks trying to schedule an appointment, I had just so happen to call THAT DAY on a whim and viola! someone answered the phone... A young, skinny woman interjects my questioning and says, "Oh, someone will be right with you immediately.", whilst she shuffles me out of the doorway and back to the lobby. Charley then comes out, saying she apologized, she had a family emergency (which I'm not so sure is true, I heard bits and pieces of her convo when she kept coming back out into the lobby to get water, it honestly just sounded like girl talk or gossiping), and said she would give me a discount for waiting so long. I perked up a little after hearing this, but when I decided on the palm reading, it only went from $25 to $20. Not that I expected the world, but I would have spent much more money if she would have suggested a different reading. I feel like she was just trying to do the quickest reading possible. There was also another gentleman whom had joined me in the lobby by this time, and by their brief convo and interaction I knew he was ALSO there to see Charley. Now the reading, or lack thereof... She literally looks at one palm for about 5-7 minutes, if even that. She said I was to live a long life, and that my heart chakras aren't in order, and in order to fix them I need X amount of sessions for $400. Um, wut? She pretty much told me stuff I already knew, since I'm no stranger to chakra, crystal and energy works/healing. Numerology too but that's another story for another review. LoL I've been to my share of Reiki healers, psychics, mediums, you name it. She wasn't my first trip around the block. I felt extremely rushed. I was maybe in Charley's presence for all of 15 minutes. I don't know if I would come back here, I'm still kinda neutral about the whole situation... It was just odd. read more

While in the DC area recently I decided to stop in and get my cards read. I've had readings before, so I feel like I can give a pretty objective review of my experiences. The pros: I was able to be seen as a walk-in. The cons: The person who read my cards (not Charley - I read good reviews of her on Yelp but she wasn't working that night) definitely had some insight, but I think she could hone it a little more. She picked up on some things that were happening in my life, but she was kind of vague. I tried not to lead her with body language or my responses, but I almost wish I had. I also felt like she flipped through the cards too quickly. In the past I've had a reader deal the cards (it's usually in a 5-7 spread or a Celtic cross), see what they have dealt for each "layer", and tell me what they see. I felt like the girl who did my reading would flip through, often layering up to 3 layers before saying something like, "Yeah, I definitely still pick up on [insert situation here]" -- I did not want to be hit up for a remote chakra cleansing. I made it clear several times that I was not interested and she kept pushing it. -- Towards the end I felt like she was trying to push me out the door. I had said in the beginning that I had had a relative pass away and there was something I hadn't been able to tell them. I asked her to please concentrate throughout the reading on any energy from that person because I needed to know that they had gotten the message I wanted to tell them. I asked several times throughout the reading if she had gotten any energy from that person, and at the end she said, "They're in a better place." In summary: I felt like I got a few validations of things I already knew about in my life. Nothing earth-shattering and like I mentioned, nothing I didn't already know. Not worth $50 unfortunately (my apologies to the piggy bank I smashed to fund this session). With more honing, I think the person who read my cards could improve and truly provide some valuable insight to those who come to her seeking it. read more

I called The Psychic Shop to find out if they sold Tarot Cards as I wanted to get them as a gift for a friend. While I was talking to Charley about purchasing the cards, I asked if she had time to read mine. I was led into a side room where she proceeded to read my cards. I have only had my cards read once before by a friend and since then I really had wanted to have them read again. Charley hit the nail on the head, over and over and over. She was warm, kind, and thoughtful and really spent time with me. She went into very specific detail (which blew my mind) and she was very accurate. She gave me a hug when I left. I will absolutely be going back. read more

This is the second time I've seen Charley. Most of the things she predicted the first time around have been spot on. Since I have only just seen her the second time, I will wait and see :-) I didn't ask questions because I didn't want to give any clues. She doesn't need hints. She is pretty legit. She knew my career. Both times. Uncanny accuracy. And my career path isn't mainstream. I have been to a few psychics around D.C and she is definitely my preferred. read more

I met Charley through a cousin in 2012 and wow was she spot-on about my entire life. She read my "life book" with the help of her personal spirit guides telling me details from my past, present, and future, even going so far as to read my thoughts 8 years in advance. She warned me of the problems I could avoid, I ignored her advice, and now I'm paying for it. Trust Charley, she knows. read more

Hubby and I went to miss charley on a whim, glad we did. Immediately when she read my palms, she talked about my past involving my family. She went on to describe my mother to the letter! Shocking. She went on to say that my career involves helping people and being creative (I do youtube, didnt tell her). She also talked about travels before the end of the year and early spring, we had actually planned seeing family during those times. She also said ill end up being well known internationally. Pretty cool. She was amazing with hubby, she told him outright where he worked and what field he's in. Told him about his past and that he's going to only be in one marriage (told me the same, we weren't wearing our rings either) and have 3 children. She also told him more things about his career and his workplace and our relationship. Spot on stuff. We really enjoyed our time there, $40 well spent. read more

What's a fun birthday gift idea for an astrology-loving friend? A palm reading at The Psychic Shop! I went there on a Thursday evening, got the basic $30 palm treatment, and had a great time. The Shop itself is a small place tucked away on the second floor of a quasi-DuPont street. The decor is cozy and interesting, with crystals adorning the wall and a bookshelf packed with volumes on all manner of psychic phenomena. The readings take place behind a little curtain towards the back of the shop. The psychic speaks in soothing, reassuring tones, and maybe a little quickly. She ran through all the elements, career, relationship, whatnot. I didn't really have any questions for her afterwards, although she'll ask you directly if there's anything specific you want to know. Analyzing the entire reading, I would put her accuracy at about 60%. Not bad for thirty bucks. My one gripe: I broke my arm two days later snowboarding in Pennsylvania. It was a bad break too, that eventually required surgery. A warning would have been nice. All in all, I recommend hitting up The Psychic Shop for a evening of light supernatural fun. They offer other services varying in price, and they take cards. You can make a reservation, but they take walk-ins too. read more

Charlie is 2-legit-2-quit! I was freaking out about an issue so I had my cards read. She predicted the outcome with uncanny accuracy - it wasn't a yes or no type question -- she was right on about the nuances. Also, she really read my personality strengths/weaknesses and life experiences well. I'll be back! read more

I stopped here originally because of her phone number, very into numbers and they reeled me in. Charley was SPOT ON. And gave me a lot of wonderful advice, she noticed my heart chakra was blocked (which I could physically feel) and I knew she wasn't a fake (not that I was skeptical but in case you are). It takes a lot to read into energy and I found pricing very fair. You must keep in mind that this wears the reader out and it is important to be wary of that! I highly recommend Charley, she is very sweet & is only trying to spread love and light. read more

I've been going to see Charlie about once a year for 3 years and every time she has been on point with everything. I came from my third visit last weekend marking my third year coming to her, I got what I never had before and it was the psychic energy reading. She is a very warm person who talks very calm, I always feel relaxed w her and I am also sensitive to energies and hers is very welcoming. Ok so back to my psychic energy reading, she hit it on the nail why I came she said I was torn between two people.......... BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!! She answered every question I had in my head about the situation. She also mentioned about my trip in August will be great even though it will be slightly delayed and I'm going to Miami in August . She said in the very end of my session, I knew everything I needed to do I just needed confirmation and that is exactly what I told my homegirl before arriving to see Charlie. She is wonderful and definitely a gem. I'm so grateful I found her I will continue to do my one year visit ritual w her. You will not be disappointed, trust and believe that one. read more

Just life changing! I saw Amanda from Philly and yes I was very skeptical about everything. She brought me into the back room and we started with a tarot card reading ... But I had mentioned I really wanted my chakra cleansed too. I am a brand new woman now. Amanda was great at giving me insight to my life. She told me things that were not just "guesses" she seemed to know me... Really well. Anyway, I'm so happy about my reading and Chakra cleanse :) read more

I am very selective of what type of psychich I go to. I am new to the area so I relied on my instinct, their vibrations and of course pricing. This price is a little high but I would say completely worth it. I got my cards read half a deck for 50 which was a lot. For the full deck it's 75. I didn't say much to Natalie or reveal anything until the end but she covered most dead on. She got the friend thing right of trying to sabotage as well as a new flame who starts with the letter C. That was completely dead on. I fended some guidance and she really guided me. I felt more comfortable and knowing what to do after the reading. Definitely recommend! Especially when you feel lost it's a worth a try. read more

Worst psychic experience ever. I know there are some genuine psychics out there but there are also many frauds as well, and I'm sorry to say that Charley is one of them. If you are looking for a good psychic in the DMV area, don't bother coming here. It's a complete waste of money and you will regret it. She's a fraud. read more

I read tarot cards and am very into this type of stuff and I decided with a good friend of mine to go and get a palm reading on a whim. We both were incredibly amazed by Monica: she is the real deal. Hands down one of the most incredible experiences of my life, she gave a fantastic reading and she seemed to know exactly what questions I needed answered without me saying a word. It was incredible. Definitely stop by and get a reading! read more

Really great people with a good insight. They offer many services and products that help. A good vist if you need some guidance.

My friend and I went here after dinner on a Saturday to see what it was all about. I opted for the $20 palm read and she the $50 tarot read. My experience was laughable!! This young lady took me to her tiny plastic table with a dirty cloth to tell me about how next year love will work out for me blah blah blah...as she is clearly running her hands over my wedding ring. Almost everything she said was broad and contradictory. She kept looking at me for clues to guide her predictions but I kept a stone cold poker face, except of course when I almost burst out laughing when she said a coworker will profess their love to me soon...I work with all married females This reader was just some kid who read some ideas in a book on how to read. Maybe it was her first day? On the flip side my friends Tarot reading was much much better. It was much more involved and intuitive than mine. Glad it wasn't a total disappointment! read more

I wish I could give this place a 2.5, but out of good faith, 3 stars it is. Ha. Psychics are good clean fun for me, especially when traveling--it's a harmless activity and memory for me. I stopped by The Psychic Shop during a work trip, as they were still open late (9:30-10ish) on a Sunday night (unlike most stores in DC). In fact, I passed 2 other google map psychics until I found this place open. While I prefer to have my tarot cards read, $60 is too much unless yelp tells me 50+ people say you're amazing. So the $20 palm reading it was. Having done this a few times, some of the things I've heard before. So does that make it true? Including: your very close to the time frame of finding the one, the past is the past, you're around competitive people at work, you're at a very good place in life, and the one you end up with you already know. Some things I found to be untrue: she immediately said I was very fit, as I'm easily in the worst shape of my life currently. She contradicted herself a few times: saying at one point "your first marriage... I mean your first and only marriage." She said I would get married around 36/37, after 10 minutes before saying I was very close to finding the one (that age is a far ways away). Whenever I called her out on the contradictions, she backpedaled quickly but not fluid enough for me to not catch it. She said I would meet the one I end up with online, and I said I thought you said I already knew him? She then said, you do but after you see him online you'll see him in a new light. Maybe, who knows! She did say off the top that someone from my past was trying to rekindle things, even getting his age range correct. And that I would be traveling to LA for about a week, which is also true. Overall I would say no harm done, but I wouldn't go back or recommend anyone spend more than $20 here. read more

Wanted $700 for two scoops of salt and two small rocks. In addition, said she would meditate on cleansing my chakra blockage for 6 hours a day in exchange. Being a third generation psychic doesn't mean you have 72 hours in one day, and meditating on cleansing my chakras is not what I came here for. I came for a chakra cleansing, not a request for you to take money from me and provide no tangible services in return. Scam. Update: owner called me the next day after I posted this review and requested I come in. Told me that she would like me to take review down, that it is not fair. Then gave me entirely different instructions and prices than her "intern" (daughter). Please do not call me again in response to this. read more

Visited this Shop just recently and had a really bad experience. After driving 50 minutes from Virginia, the psychic had a family emergency to tend to and was not at the Shop. The man at the store notified us that she would not be able to get to the appointment until an hour and a half later. We waited and then met her upstairs once we got a call that she was back. She told us that it would be a few more minutes..15 more minutes pass by and she comes over without apologizing telling us that she is ready for the first reading. As soon as I sit down she tells me that their credit card machine is turned off because they weren't expecting to be open that late yet their shop closes around midnight.... not the first thing I want to talk about prior to getting a reading. During the actual reading most things regarding my past were untrue and did not make any sense. Since I could not relate to anything she was saying regarding my recent past I felt extremely awkward and just sat there. I left feeling rushed during the entire 10 minute reading that was originally $50 but became discounted to $40 because we had to wait. Although now reading from previous comments I see $40 a pretty frequent cost for the tarot readings. I asked for further clarification on a comment she made and instead of elaborating she repeated exactly the same comments she said during the reading. Additionally, the coughing was quite disturbing. Overall not a positive experience and won't be returning. read more

Reading was not accurate, she kept offering me spiritual healing for thousands of dollars. I would never go back

This is my first-ever Yelp! review, and I am doing it because of my experience with The Psychic Shop. I am very skeptical by nature, but I also want to believe in such things a this, so both of these aspects of my personality affected the way I interpreted my reading. With that in mind, here are the highlights of my experience: -I went to The Psychic Shop four or five months ago. Charley did the reading, and I found the experience interesting to observe; it was not exactly what I expected. Charley's phone must have rung a dozen times during the reading, and she answered every time. That was more than annoying, but she seemed to have something serious going on in her personal life. -Nevertheless, when she wasn't on the phone, Charley was pleasant and friendly. I tried to give her as little information as I could, and I think that I asked two questions throughout the reading. -The palm reading was brief, but she seemed to have "hit the nail on the head" overall. She acknowledged several distinctive aspects of my personality, interests, and motivations. I didn't register her saying anything that did not apply at all. -The tarot reading was more intensive. She asked two questions: first about a couple of people I spend a lot of time with (at work) and secondly about what I do for a living. These were after she had already revealed quite a bit of what felt to be very specific. I racked my brain about whether the reading would apply if I had a different job with different people, and in the end I can't honestly say for sure. I asked a number of people if what she told me would apply to their working lives, and most of them said it would be a stretch, but it could apply if some allowances were made. What she told me, though, was again "nail on the head" and I did not have to make any allowances for what she read to apply to my life. That was a little unnerving. -Also unnerving was that everything she said about me personally felt accurate. My life is a little unconventional, and she didn't say much about me that felt like it would apply universally. -She made a few specific predictions: First, she said I would be traveling twice in the coming months (she named the months)--once for business and once 'romantically.' One of those predictions was correct; the other was not. -She discussed something, eerily on the nose, about a past relationship of mine. This was what really unnerved me. She said that the person with whom I had that relationship would reappear in my life by the end of the summer, which seemed unlikely, and she told me to avoid that person. The reason I am writing this is now is because only one person in my life fit that description (exactly), and the person did in fact reappear just a few weeks ago. I never, ever imagined that a tarot reader would guess something as specific as was told to me (in greater detail than I am recounting here), or that she would foretell something happening and it coming true. But she did. -She made another specific prediction that so far has not come true. -Overall, she was encouraging and kind, and despite my mixed skepticism, in the aftermath of the reading, I have felt hopeful because of what I was told--and that makes it worthwhile for me in the end. -She did try to 'upsell' me on a 'cleansing,' which I expected because I read others' experiences here. But she wasn't forceful about it at all; she gave me her card and told me to call her. In the end, I definitely would return for a follow-up reading if I didn't feel I were going to be pressured to purchase additional services that I cannot afford and don't have any reason to have faith in. -I went into the reading thinking that, at the worst, I would have spent a fair amount of money for a once-in-a-lifetime experience and would at least get to observe a self-identified 'psychic' (Intuitive? Body language interpreter? Con artist?) at work, distinct from what I've seen in movies and television shows. So I had low expectations and I came away with a lot more than I ever expected. So for anyone who has the money and who is wary of being upsold, it may well be a worthwhile experience. If you are naive/impressionable/desperate, you might seek the help of a counselor instead. I think most people who go for readings probably have a vulnerability that could make them exploitable, so always consider that. read more

Went to this place because I was recommended by a friend to see Charley, whom she raved about. Told Charley I only wanted my palms read, which was $20, she reads my palms for all of maybe 4 minutes then suggests going deeper into my problems with Tarot reading... which is $50. Since I;m in the middle of knowing more about the issues I've been dealing with all summer, I went ahead and did the tarot reading. Note* she didnt describe much in my palm reading, she quickly tried to sell me the tarot. When she did my tarot reading, some information that she gave me was definitely not right.. She didnt explain much further she just kept saying I needed a spiritual cleansing.... WHICH COSTS $1,600!! She kept pushing the cleansing on me even though I said I cant afford that right now, she gave me an alternative that was also quite $$. I do not feel satisfied with my visit. I came to get clarity about a situation in my life that has been taking a toll on me, which she did pinpoint, however did not go into any further detail about or tell me anything about the future about this situation. I was also extremely dissatisfied that she didn't spend much time on my palm or tarot and kept trying to sell me the next pricey service. I went in there wanting to believe in this but she ruined my experience and I am still left unclear with my situation $70 later.... read more

A Total Rip Off - Stay Away. Went in for a $35 tarot card reading. The reading lasted only 5 minutes!! It was full of platitudes ("someone around you is thinking of you") and generalizations ("this year will be positive year for you - the months of x and y in particular"). It became apparent about two minutes in that the reader had simply memorized a bunch of lines and was just regurgitating them back up. Didn't have me touch or cut the cards - which is an initial first step in most readings. When I asked questions I was told "the answer to that question is beyond the next 6 months, this reading only sees the next 6 months. if you;d like to know the answer to that question, you can do the $50 tarot card reading." Total scam. You can get detailed, accurrate readings in Washington D.C. for between 50-60$ for an hour reading. This place is not one of them! This place is the equivalent of throwing your money away - don't bother. read more

I recently did a reading with Charley's assistant, Amber. Kind of a waste of money. I'm usually a sucker for things like this, but I couldn't buy into her. She spent most of the time trying to get me to pay for a$700 chakra cleaning. Whether that's legit is not the point, she spent our time not on talking about me but more about that service and generic psychic language not specific to my personal reading, stuff I can find on google. She didn't even go through the whole deck even though I paid $50, because she had spent so much time on talking about irrelevant stuff. If you want to do this, go to Charley, Amber is not the real deal. read more

I went here for my first palm reading tonight. It was a great first experience. I went in to the reading open minded, but still got a lot more out of it than I thought I would. Nicole brought up very relevant issues and topics in my life and I knew exactly what she was talking about. It felt very personal and gave me a sense of guidance. I would definitely return for the other services that they offer. read more

So this is an update whether the predictions that was done during my reading came true or not. The reading was done in October of 2013. I would say that 80% of it did came true, and they weren't just 'general stuff' either. It was specific and even now I am still amazed. I wish I still work in DC, I want to see her again. read more
