I've been a client of Jessica's for over two years now and was excited to join her at her newest…read morejoint venture this past summer when this spa opened. The facility is very sleek and modernly decorated and always smells amazingly; I absolutely love the place. My facials with Jessica are always great. Jessica uses her years of aesthetic experience to educate me on how to adjust my skincare routine at home to get the most out of my monthly facials. While I usually get the signature facial, we often switch up the treatment based on my skincare needs at the appointment. Jessica brilliantly adjusts the services without hesitation to give my skin exactly what it needs. I can count on Jessica for product recommendations for my combination, melanated skin. As a dark skinned Black woman, it can be challenging to find the right products for my skin that balance cleansing, moisture, and hydration and DON'T leave a chalky white cast. Jessica understands this widespread deficiency in the skincare industry and uses only some of the best high quality brands in her spa that work well for all skin types and colors--even melanated skin like mine. Overall, this is a top notch spa for men and women and I highly recommend it.

I went with my girlfriend to get waxed and have been going to her for my skin care services ever since!! Requesting her services is super easy as you can book online through her website. She is always on time and super quick, especially when it comes to waxing! Sunny has a very sweet and calming personality, which always puts me at ease. Her suite is lovely and has calming vibes as well. I come all the way from DC to have Sunny perform my skin care! If you are in the Upper Marlboro/Bowie/Crofton/Gambrills/Odenton area (or not lol), check out her services! She is worth the drive!

I bought a full package for my birthday and it was totally - happy birthday to ME :) I have never done a full body scrub and Tanya was more than respectful and professional -- I won't do that every time, but will definitely do it again. The massage was absolutely wonderful - last year I had a total shoulder replacement and in that process, I also re-aggravated the other shoulder (that was injured years ago). Tanya worked and worked on muscle knots and gave me so much desired relief. All in all, it was truly a wonderful experience and I'll definitely be back. I have to drive 40 miles (one-way), but it's more than worth!

I had an oxygen facial with Christina, esthetician and owner of Skin Zen Escape, two weeks ago…read more My skin looked amazing afterwards, yet what amazes me *even more* is that two weeks later, I can say that my skin, with minimal upkeep on my part, truly looks better than it has since before teenage acne hit me (well over 20 years ago)! Christina asked me to complete a skin questionnaire upon my arrival, and at the beginning of the appointment, she assessed my skin carefully (but without the judgmental comments that I unnecessarily had feared) and recommended the facial that she thought would be best for me. Each step of the way throughout the facial, Christina explained what she was doing, and she also provided helpful skin tips and insights. She truly took her time, and she clearly took pride in providing quality, individualized care to me (and to her clients overall, I would think). At the end of the facial, Christina also provided me a nice travel-size kit of skincare products (with detailed individualized recommendations) to put me on the right path for post-facial skincare. Christina introduced me to the skincare line that she uses and that she offers for sale to her clients, but she did not pressure me to buy products. I fully recommend Christina and Skin Zen Escape. I already have booked my next facial!

Love the location of this store, conveniently located inside Waugh Chapel shopping, which allows…read morepeople to stop by and grab the things they needed after dinning at the restaurants nearby or while doing errands run at Target or Wegman's. Parking: large shopping center parking lot. Inside shop: spacious, fairly clean, did not see too many staff in the shop, well stocked on most of the shelves, has one of the largest Styling Tools section. Service: we did not need any customer service on this trip, but when in line to check out, there was only 1 staff behind the counter while 3-4 customers were waiting in line. Wait was not long, so we didn't mind. It was a weekday afternoon, so not as busy as the weekend, not sure if that's why staffing was low, or some were happened to be on break at that time frame. Do recommend by @WineDinenVacay

I went to this location yesterday. My sister wanted to test out a product on display, as she was…read moretesting it out, she sat her car keys on the stand and because the stand had a giant ass hole in the middle of it, the keys fell into the hole. A young lady who worked there approached us and asked us if we needed help. She kindly went to get her manager (I'm assuming) the manager walked up to us and asked my sister "what were you doing?" To which my sister responded and explained that the keys fell into the stand and we couldn't get to them. The younger lady was very kind about the entire thing. They had to use a screwdriver to open up the stand and retrieve the keys. After we got them back my sister thanked them and also apologized for the inconvenience. The younger lady was sweet and said no problem but the older lady (the manager) rolled her eyes and didn't say a word. Next time just give us the damn screw driver and we will get them ourselves. It's one thing to be annoyed but another to be rude. Maybe fix the displays so stuff like that doesn't happen in the future thanks.

***Review is for facials by Kayleigh…read more Mixed feelings about Mixed Elements. I visited Mixed Elements because I saw a deal for a facial that included O2 and LED. It sounded exciting. Located off Rt 3 in the same plaza as Lash Moi and Namaste Indian restaurant. Booking an appointment was pretty straightforward, and I felt fortunate to find availability this week. What was good? Plenty of parking and a cute storefront (jewelry, hand masks, bags, etc. Gave a sort of co-op feeling as there is also a hairdresser on site. Areas for improvement: Talk to the client, explain what will be involved in the facial, and advise them at every step. For example, when I put on a mask, you might feel some tingling. Probably the worst thing was this was a "dry facial". I inquired about this at the end, and she said she "wet her fingers and used a warm towel because she was concerned about my lashes." This was substandard service at best. There was mask residue on my neck and in my hairline. No lip balm at the conclusion of the service. Did not mention after-care instructions, whether sunscreen was applied, no lip balm or hand massage. Not sure if it is because she is untrained, unfamiliar with other skin types, or didn't care. I will not be returning.

Be warned. They do makes mistakes and their policy is not to correct them. Nivika charged me $105…read moredollars MORE than I was told my services would cost. I was told by their staff that they would honor my expired Groupon for the services listed and happily made my appointment. During my appt, the doctor recommended I add on more. I decided to add on $140 of services. The doctor confirmed that what I wanted would be an extra $140 over my groupon to which I agreed. This was a splurge for me, so I made doubly sure this was accurate. It wasn't until after my appointment that they changed their mind and said they would not honor the promotional value of my groupon and I was charged $245 instead! I was sure this was an error and they would honor what I was told before my appointment AND during my appointment. But they will not. I've received numerous emails and calls from Sonya, who just tells me that they don't honor expired Groupons. "That's not our policy" is not an excuse to mislead your customers into adding on services while being dishonest about the cost. I know what I was told by staff. They said my groupon would be honored for the services listed, period. I should pay what I was told the services would cost even if staff gave me incorrect information. A good business practice is being upfront about the cost of services. I can only assume now that this "mistake" was actually intentional. I will take my business elsewhere.

They had all of the items I needed in stock... Including some products I have not been able to find it other locations. I ended up leaving with more than I originally came for. The staff were polite and allowed me to shop in peace, checking in wants to make sure that I was finding everything okay. I especially love that the store is in an outdoor shopping center and not tucked away in a mall somewhere where I have to walk past dozens of stores that I have no interest in just to find it. There's also plenty of parking in the shopping center, which only adds to the convenience.

Warning-possible TMI…read more I saw Wendy Christine at Pink Lotus today for my first bikini wax in 1.5 decades. My first-and last bikini wax was for my honeymoon and I remember half way through it thinking "why am I doing this to myself". The pain had my eyes tearing up- and I am a tattooed lady-not a stranger to pain. Anyway, I decided to give it a go again because the bumps from shaving are annoying as all hell. Wendy made me feel comfortable, relaxed, had great conversation to distract me and practically no pain. Not a wince, not a tear. Looking forward to being shave free this summer. Highly recommend her to all.
