I have been going here for over 5 years. I recommended this place to all my friends who were interested in korean skincare. As far as I know, this is the only place that does korean style skincare. I was a bit hesitant to write reviews because I don't want this place to get over crowded... :P read more

The esthetician's at Skincare SoU are very skilled and perform an excellent Korean-styled facial. I've been coming to Skincare SoU for the past 3 years and I've always had very pleasant experiences with all of the esthetician's and the nail staff. Especially during COVID-19, the staff spends extra time cleaning between clients, wears masks and face shields, and enforces social distancing to keep the employees and staff safe! read more

Sou The Spa - Skin Care Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Lumi is AMAZING! She lets you know what she is applying to your skin every step of the way while also explaining the benefits and tailoring the appointment to your skins needs and concerns. I received the acne treatment for 90 minutes and it was 90 minutes of HEAVEN! I would definitely recommend to go! read more

Found this place initially to find a new nail salon. I was very happy to see one of my old favorite nail techs working here from her own little studio. Kate is super talented with her nail art and gave me a gorgeous nude, sparkly new years look. While there, I learned more about the skincare services and booked an appointment as a birthday gift for myself. I am a big believer in the magic of K-skincare and go through the 10-step skincare process every morning and night. I looooove pampering myself and just went with the regular facial, because I just wanted to try it out along with wanting to pop a monster pimple on my chin (hormonal acne ackkk). Although this is the most basic package for facials. I felt so taken care of. In between the masks, I got a face, clavicle, arm, hand, and neck massage. As a massage junkie, I was in pure heaven. Yeah, the pressure is more than I am used to (and I LOVE pressure), I loved the pain! Through each massage move, I was taught what each pain point meant (I got lots of tension in my neck and possibly bad digestion haha). I also learned products that are targeted for older ladies (like Sulwhasoo and Estee Lauder) aren't the best for my skin, because they tend to run oily. By the end of the facial, my skin was soo shiny and moisturized. As someone who suffers under dry office heat then face numbingly cold winds, I felt like a new lady. I'll definitely get my nails and face pampered here from now on~ read more

When it comes to nails, I like to experiment different designs that are simple but modern. Usually I do my own nails since the previous places I have attempted failed to meet my expectations. This is my first time with Kate, I showed her two pictures of the design and colors I was looking for. What I appreciated about her was that she not only quickly picked up my style but also suggested/consulted designs I wouldn't have thought about. I listened to her advice and voila! this is how it turned out! I absolutely love it and so many people have commented on my nails! Kate is a talented artist so if you are a nail art person like me, I highly recommend her! read more

Sou The Spa - Simple but chic Christmas gel nail art - Skin Care Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

I wanted to love this place, I really do. So I bought a ten session package of LDM facial treatment after initial consultation. The package costs $2k for ten sessions. If I don't buy package, it's $300 per treatment. So to save myself some money, I agreed myself into their package deal. In the consultation, the owner promised me that I will see results (tighter, more glossy skin) after three treatments. Mind you - I don't have perfect skin but if I were to rate it on a scale of ten, I would give it a seven to eight. No acne scars and I invest in good skincare regime (I have been using sk2 for more than 5 years now). I have dry skin during winter and get some acne's once a month before my period. I wanted some brightness which is the reason why I went for these treatments. To give you some background, LDM is a treatment where they use an ultrasound machine to encourage more collagen production. It is not a painful procedure. Skin looks pretty glossy and healthy after each session and I give credit to moisturizer/sunscreen and bb cream they apply after mask. After you wash it off, there's not much improvement to be seen. Fast forward after three weeks/ three sessions, I didn't see any improvement. I went for fourth session in hopes I might see "some changes". None nada. It might do some changes underneath the skin but nothing visible on the outside. So today was supposed to be my fifth session. They close at 7pm and take appointments by 5:30pm latest so they have 1.5 hours for each treatment. Life happens, today I ran 20 minutes late I called them at 5:38 and they bluntly told me they have to close at 7pm no matter what. Owner does my facial sessions and she's not willing to stay 20 mins late and improve overall customer satisfaction. She needs to leave at 7pm sharp no matter what. I was very upset by the way I was treated on the phone so I demanded a refund of the unused portion of my package. They charged me 10% cancellation fee ($200). I blame myself for not trying out a couple sessions and purchasing a package on the first day without checking their facilities or service level. For a $300 treatment, I expect outstanding service, complete serenity and luxurious experience. None of the three exist at this business. They demand 20% tip for each session as well. On the first day, they put me into a tiny room and staff kept coming in to get products every 10-20 minutes. My whiteheads are still intact after every treatment. For something that's priced as high as a 5-star hotel spa, yes I do have high expectations. Most people who come here are Korean women. I am not a confident Korean speaker and I found communication a little hard at this place. Non-Korean speakers - be aware. I can go on and on about this business. Owner is generally nice but if you are a native Korean speaker, you will get better service and deals. I thought I found my med spa for life but the search continues. read more

I've been a regular customer here for over two years and am exceedingly happy with my skin. Lumi and her wonderful staff are skilled and are also delightful people to spend time with. I have an aging, dry complexion that requires a whole lot more love and attention than it used to and thanks to Lumi and her staff, I get that in spades and look fresh and glowing every time I leave. Also the products that they use work really well and smell wonderful. I've bought several of them to support my skin in between appointments. As for any language barriers, I don't speak Korean and neither do any of my friends who go here and we have no trouble at all getting the attention or the services we need. Apparently the language of beauty is universal as is the language of kindness and honesty. Great find! read more

Awesome custom facial by very knowledgeable ladies. I got an aqua microdermabrasion which is super nice and leaves the skin cool rather than burned. They use quality Korean skincare material. Two masks were applied leaving my skin like glass while I received a hand and shoulder massage. So relaxing and definitely worth the trip. Planning my next visit! read more

I'm impressed by Kate's work, she did wonderful job on the manicure. This will be my new favorite nail salon for sure. I strongly recommend this place to any friend/family. I was a bit nervous, but Kate made me feel super comfortable and took her time and very patient with her work. Worth of price and time. read more

I have been getting facials at this place every 2 weeks for the past 9 months - so that's saying something! I lived in Korea for a year and LOVE the way they give facials, as well as how much they emphasize skincare. So coming here & being a loyal customer took little effort :) I highly recommend you come here to improve your mental health and address your skincare needs! read more

I have been going to Skincare SoU for a year now and I love Lumi (the owner/skincare specialist) and the services she provides. She is truly knowledgeable and has all of the newest as well as highest technology. I have a sensitive skin so my skin broke out a couple of years ago from using the wrong product for my face. After trying out different skincare facilities, I was never satisfied and stopped trying until I received the recommendation from my sister to try out Skincare SoU. Lumi healed my skin and I no longer have breakouts except a few zits here and there during my deadly, dreadful, monthly cycle a,k.a auntie flow, feel me ladies? Anyhow, I will continue to get the service here as I heard "receiving skincare routinely is just like providing food for your body". It's pretty much a necessity. ^-^ Once you start, you can't stop. Hehe. Ladies and gentlemen, I highly recommend Skincare SoU and if you're looking for just an awesome facial, maintain your nice skin, or have problematic skin, please seek Lumi! She is the bomb diggity! :) read more

I've been using Korean products for years but had not had the pleasure of having a Korean facial because of location. So the next time I had a planned trip to Nova, I decided to take advantage. As an African American, i was a bit hesitant about some of the different goals that Korean women have for their skin (namely whitening), but i actually felt quite relaxed once i met the owner and she evaluated my skin. The staff was super friendly and very welcoming. They totally warned us of the difference between American and Korean facials so we would not be freaked out by the many steps and strong massage. (I also brought my aunt along) Lumi chose the aqua peel for me and crypto for my aunt. We changed in the small dressing room and hopped on the tables. Inflatable massage cuffs were placed on our feet and legs and once everything was situated the facial began. Double cleanse, exfoliate then mask. Next was the chosen treatment and then the second mask. In between each step was a massage, chest/shoulders/back, arms and then face. A full 90 minutes of bliss. So blissed our that the price just didn't phase me (told beforehand). Expect to pay 150 for the specialty facials and with tip 180. I know many Korean women are doing this bi/weekly, but i will definitely commit to making this trip at least quarterly, if not bimonthly. Self care folks! read more

Whenever I come to get a facial here, I leave with my face fresh and glowing. I've been coming here since they opened and haven't been disappointed once. The service is top notch. Every facial comes with a back & shoulder massage, and arm massage. It is clean and well kept. The staff is very friendly and customer service is great. It is definitely not an American facial/spa, but if you want a good quality facial that will leave your face glowing and well manicured, this is the place to go. read more

I visit here every week to get skin care service. They are very knowledgeable about skin care products and new technologies. I have 3 kids and my facial skin could recover so fast after having babies because I visit here regularly. The staffs are very nice so I feel very comfortable during the service. read more

Came in for a facial after reading some yelp reviews. The owner provided great attention when I got my facial. I felt so relaxed and my face was glowing at the end. She explained each step and what products she was applying. It was reassuring she was explaining the process because I have extremely sensitive and dry skin I was afraid that I was going to get an allergic reaction. This was my first time getting a facial and I'm not sure if this was supposed to happen, but some of the products made my face terribly sting! She said that it is normal to sting for the first minute or so. A plus was that they even had a leg massage/compression massage machine while you get your facial. The only con was that the most basic regular facial runs about $100! The owner seemed a bit pushy and insisted that I buy a facial package 10 facials for $800. read more

I've been a client of Skincare Sou before they moved to this location. Korean skin care is the best kept secret in the states! Eunyong, the owner, is very skilled and knowledgeable on the latest medical grade skin technology. The facials are great and comes complete with back and arm massages. I live in New York City and come down once a month to see Lumi. She is the best! read more

I'd seen the top notch facialists in Chung-Dam Dong, South Korea where all the best facialists were located and had visited by all Korean celebrities before I moved to the States. Only complaint living in the states was that I couldn't get same service I used to get in South Korea. Indeed, South Korea has best facialists in the world!! When it comes to selecting the skin specialists for myself, I'm extremely picky about it. I'd rather not have it at all unless they have very high expertise with fully understanding on individual skin. Even if I'm living in Manhattan now, it's very rare to find a specialist who could understand very delicate Asian skin. I've always been very difficult client when it comes to getting a right result. I've been seeing Lumi for 2 years now to take care of my sensitive/delicate skin and she has always done her job precisely. She knows how to take care of individual skin with right degree. I'm 100% guarantee to get the best result from Green Peel, Stem Cell with Aqua Peeling or whatever she would recommend for certain cases- I indeed trust her judgement. If you want to take care of your skin at best and you should, you should really try her at least one time and you will see. Think about all Korean actresses who have the best skin ever, it's all because of regular routine with right facialists. The best investment ever! read more

Lumi is the sweetest woman on the face of the earth. She has graced this earth with her skincare knowledge, and she decided to bless me with it. I am going to have to continue to add to her already perfect rating, she is top notch. She makes the full experience lovely, and does a consultation before getting started. You can tell she is passionate and heavily educated about skincare by how she speaks to it. She suggested one of her treatments for me and we got started. It was truly a treat! She was so gentle and made me feel relaxed. Not to mention that my skin was amazingggg after, just in time for an event. I will be going back!! read more

This review is for nail services only. Haven't tried the skincare services yet. Kate does a great job with my nails. Love her attention to detail. She primarily works with gel. There is a minimal selection of regular nail colors. Always make an appointment! read more

So I'm a white guy. My better half is Korean. So she had an appointment for a facial and massage, but that morning she woke up sick. So instead of missing it, she called and after a brief conversation I was on my way there. Luna performed magic on my skin, turning it from both dry and oily and I'm not sure whatever else to a "glowing" state that my spouse was thrilled to see. Her products and technology are all state of the art, and it is well known Korean facial care is the envy of the world. I can't tell you everything she did, but I can vouch for the results! read more

I recently bought a facial package at Skincare Sou and it has definitely improved my skin's texture, elasticity, and overall appearance!

The owner is very professional, experienced, and is truly an expert in skin care! I am extremely happy with every facial I have received and highly recommend Skincare Sou to everyone! read more
