As a male getting my very first facial, I genuinely did not know what to expect walking into Silver…read moreMirror in Dupont Circle, but wow. Five stars, hands down. I booked a facial specifically geared toward acne-prone skin, and my experience exceeded every expectation I had. Imani took care of me, and she was absolutely incredible. She explained every step so clearly, answered all my questions with so much patience and knowledge, and made me feel completely comfortable the entire time. I honestly feel like I learned more about my skin during this appointment than I have during countless dermatologist visits over the years. Not because they were trying to replace a dermatologist in any way, but because the education and guidance were such an amazing added bonus. The entire space felt spotless, calm, private, and extremely professional. As the only male there at the time, I never once felt awkward or out of place. Everyone was kind and welcoming. And somehow, this was even better than the massage I got earlier this week. I left feeling relaxed, refreshed, informed, and honestly just so happy that I decided to do this for myself. I can already tell this is going to become part of my routine. If you're a guy wondering whether facials are "for you," or someone with acne-prone skin looking for extra support and care, I cannot recommend Silver Mirror enough. And if you can book with Imani, do it. She is such a kind person, so professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and has the sweetest, most calming presence. Truly one of the best self-care experiences I've had in a long time.

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.

I visited Glowbar for a facial this past Sunday when I was in Georgetown. Glowbar offers "facials…read moreon the go" - 30 minute facials. If you're a member (for a facial one a month), the service is $65; for non-members, the facial is $80. They have a wash bar when you wash your hands and face before being taken into one of the treatment rooms. The 30-minute facial is customized based on your needs (mine was focused on extractions and LED light therapy). The customer service was great, and the treatment room was beautiful and comfortable (mine was the back treatment room which had enormous windows looking out onto the garden behind the building - those fall colors and trees made my treatment extra relaxing). There are a lot of options for facials now - a range of prices, lengths of treatment, a range of privacy offered by the spa. There isn't a Glowbar by me in Baltimore, so membership isn't an option for me. But I enjoyed my experience. It's nice to have a less expensive and quick option for a facial! It makes it easy to fit in a facial, even during a busy week or weekend.

My primary concern was hyperpigmentation, and she consistently tailored each facial to directly address those areas with intention and expertise. What stands out most is her attentiveness.

It is clear she genuinely cares about her work and takes pride in delivering results. If you are serious about improving your skin and want someone knowledgeable, professional, and invested in your progress, I highly recommend Lola.

She takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, and her understanding of anatomy and facial structure makes you feel completely confident in her care and recommendations. What I appreciate most is that she truly cares about her patients and clients and never makes you feel rushed. She provides honest counseling and guidance for every service, and you can tell she genuinely wants the best results for you. I've had multiple treatments done, from skin tightening to other skincare services, and I've loved every experience. Viktorija is wonderful as well -- an integral member of the team. Ritual's skincare line is amazing, and I'm especially obsessed with the SPF Tracy developed called Throwing Shade. It feels incredible on the skin and has become a daily staple for me. Highly recommend Ritual by Tracy Holzman NP-C if you're looking for someone skilled at helping you look and feel your best, trustworthy, and truly passionate about what they do. Thank you so much to her team!

I'm in the midst of finding my new "home" for skin and beauty needs, after an esthetician that I…read moreloved moved out of the area. So after reading the reviews for Ritual and following them on social for a few months, I decided to book at appointment for a peel with Victoria. The business suite is located within a much bigger building and upon getting off the elevator on the 8th floor, it was clear to me that many of the surrounding suites include other medical professionals. Upon entry, you'll notice the clinic is pristine and elegant, while also feeling warm and welcoming. Cayla, the patient coordinator at the check-in desk was bubbly and genuine - as a first time visitor, that initial impression means a lot. No pretense, no standoffishness - just a desire to help you to get settled in. I was then taken to the waiting area which was also clean and comfortable, with a few refreshments that are available for guests. Luckily for me, I was only in there for a few minutes before Victoria came to get me. We took a few pics and then headed into the room for my appointment. The room felt very much like a room you may be in for a doctor's appointment - very sterile, bright lights - which of course is a good sign. I then chatted with Victoria about my concerns and needs. She was a great listener as well as a proactive communicator, always educating me as she made suggestions or talked with me about options. It's evident that her top concern is the patient's health and well-being first and foremost, which then guides her recommendations. With the additional knowledge and context she provides, it's impossible not to feel well taken care of, in the hands of a responsible and professional provider. I was also very appreciative of her care and awareness of what treatments would be best for my type of skin, educating me about the Fitzpatrick scale (which I had taken time to educate myself briefly about on my own, but had never had a provider articulate with such mindfulness.) She also was able to balance that professionalism with warmth - which is a rare combination to find. Her ability to make you feel comfortable seems to come naturally and really makes the whole experience not only impactful but enjoyable. It's also evident that she carries a wealth of knowledge and is confident about that (without being condescending.) Overall, very impressed with the business and grateful for Victoria's care. Will definitely be returning in the near future to explore other treatments that will be good investments in my overall skin health and integrity.

Jhovonnah made sure I was comfortable throughout my treatments (RF Microneedling does sting a bit, but she took the time to really numb my face). I'm a registered nurse, and always have a lot of questions about procedures. I am also very familiar with clean and aseptic practices, and I am very impressed. Jhovonnah is very knowledgeable about all the spa treatments, including Morpheus 8, and answered my questions thoroughly. I'm giving my skin a break for a bit, but will probably get the "deeper" Morpheus 8 treatment here at Georgetown Allure with Jhovonna. MY RESULTS? Well, these treatments are not "instantaneous" because collagen remodeling takes time, and my skin improvements continue for over 6-12 months afterward. I HAVE HAD RANDOM COMPLIMENTS on how my skin looks from friends who did not know I've been doing these treatments. I bumped into a 20 year male acquaintance who I hadn't seen since before I started treatment, and HE complimented how good my skin looked (on a no make-up day)-- that one really struck me! I had 4 total treatments, each about a month apart, starting in October, and I have not had Botox or any other treatment since I started. If you are concerned about your skin's appearance, I do recommend Georgetown Allure Medical Spa.

We had such a pleasant encounter with the receptionist, Nicole, from the moment we walked in and were placed with 2 masseuses who were top-tier and gifted with the art of touch. Our couples massage was beyond rejuvenating and serene for each of us and we were truly able to decompress (and leave a lot of muscle knots behind on the table)! We both left feeling SO much lighter, connected within our bodies and to each other, and grateful we accepted the offer to give Unwind another chance. I am so impressed with the level of intention and care that the owner, Antonio, has displayed in making sure that we were in the absolute best hands the second time around. He was very apologetic that we had an off day on our first visit and really turned things a total 180. It's evident that he is passionate about his business, is extremely detail-oriented (the decor is GORGEOUS!), and has strived to exceed the 5-star reputation his establishment deserves. In a world where self-care tends to be an afterthought or a treat, I'm feeling inspired to carve out time to visit Unwind Wellness on a regular basis. I'm so glad I found the right match (and might have to gatekeep my masseuse's name because she is THAT good)!

I am in DC temporarily for cancer treatment so I wanted to find a place to get my lashes done…read morebecause it's the one (vain) thing that makes me feel better right now. This place got good reviews so I booked an appointment at the Eastern Market location since it's near the place I'm staying. The night prior, they called and asked if I'd be willing to go to the Dupont Circle location instead so that the technician could fit in more appointments. It was annoying, but not a huge deal. I was getting lash removal & a new set of classic/hybrid lashes. I've been getting eyelash extensions for 13 years and this is by far the worst experience I've ever had. They were thin, whispy, pre-made fans that were poorly glued onto only some of my lashes. They started falling off almost immediately, and there were visible white clumps of glue that a friend pointed out because she thought I had crumbs on my eyes. One week later when I went to another eyelash studio, they couldn't even tell I had any extensions on until they put me under the lights. I would've been better off just curling my own lashes & using mascara because mine are thicker & longer than whatever they used. I've never had such poor quality.
