The ambiance alone makes it feel like a retreat, and I could see myself coming back if a few things are addressed. That said, I booked a salt room session and left feeling unsure if the halotherapy element was actually functioning. I've been to several salt caves with active halogenerators, and there are consistent effects I usually experience: I feel the salt in my chest, my nose may start running or I might cough a bit as it starts clearing things out, and I almost always feel a sense of deep calm settle in after about 5 to 10 minutes. None of that happened here. I heard the machine running, but there was no visible salt mist, no salty taste on my lips, and no sensation in my chest, nose, or on my skin. Within 5 to 10 minutes, I actually found myself hoping the session would be over -- which has never happened to me in a salt room before. I felt antsy and restless, not relaxed, and even debated getting up and leaving early. That's when I really started to question whether the halogenerator was working at all. I asked about it after the session, calmly and out of curiosity. The staff member responded defensively, pointing to a bit of salt buildup on the output pipe as proof that it was working. But residue like that doesn't necessarily mean it was operating during my session -- that could've built up weeks or months ago. I explained that I've done halotherapy before and that I didn't feel any of the usual physical or emotional effects. I wasn't trying to be difficult, just offering feedback in case the generator needed maintenance. Unfortunately, the response felt dismissive rather than open to my experience. This place has a lot going for it visually, and I'd love to return if I could trust the therapeutic element was being taken seriously. If you're coming for actual halotherapy, I'd recommend asking how the generator works, when it was last serviced, and what to expect. The environment is gorgeous, but the experience didn't feel aligned with how real salt therapy usually affects me -- and that's hard to overlook.

Solace Day Spa My experience at Solace Day Spa (7696-B…read moreRichmond Hwy, Alexandria, VA 22306) for the "Relax Harmony Nourishing Head Spa" with Megan Dinh was disappointing. I booked the 1 hour 15 minute service expecting a true head spa treatment. Instead, I received about 10 minutes of light scalp massage with conditioner and mostly running water. The majority of the time (around 30-35 minutes) was spent on a very good neck, shoulder, and hand massage--but that's not what I came for. If you have natural Black hair, be cautious. My hair was clean but puffy, and it felt like the provider avoided working with it altogether. Overall, it did not match the service advertised.

Nails- Yes, Lashes- NO! Do not get Eyelash services done…read morehere. I went for a lash lift yesterday and I am asking for a refund. They moved my appointment back 30 minutes and told me it took 60 minutes max. I've had my lashes lifted many times and it takes 45 minutes. I was there for an hour and a half AND it looks like there was barely anything done to my lashes. I think the woman spent 25 minutes just putting tape on my eyes. And they have the nerve to charge $90 for this bullsh!t service. I have been trying to get a hold of the manager to ask for a refund for the last 24 hours and I keep getting assured she will call, but she hasn't. So I will warn everyone else, do no go here. Update: Update: 2 weeks later and the manager finally called me back. She told me there are no refunds, but I could come in and get other services up to my paid amount from the lash lift ($90). Long story short, it wasn't the most convenient thing for me to do, but I went and got nail services, where were phenomenal. They also provided 10% off the difference above the $90. So while I would go back for nail services, I would never go back for a lash lift.

The entire experience was insulting and infuriating. Avoid this place at all costs.

For my manicure, she took her time and was still meticulous with her technique. I got a full set of acrylics rounded out and my nails were not chunky and thick looking. They look so classy and like they could be my real nails! I am so pleased with their work AND their friendliness. Oftentimes you get one or the other, friendliness or skill. I would 10/10 recommend going here and ask for Tina! She is very talented.

It wasn't just a bad job--within a week, I developed a painful infection on my pointer finger. In hindsight, I should have taken the empty salon on a Saturday afternoon as a red flag. A week later, I had to go to another salon to have them fixed. The technicians there were shocked and asked where I had gotten them done, even suggesting that I shouldn't have paid for such poor work. The dip powder was applied way too thick, and my nails had been filed down so much that they were too thin. They recommended giving my nails time to regrow before getting another manicure.
