It's a small spa that's easy to find. I was gifted a massage here which was suppose to be paid in full but the facility took half as a deposit instead. I arrived early and asked to access their WiFi as I waited and they were kind enough to let me use it. The waiting area is pretty small but enough that people can walk through. The massage was okay. My Masseuse was going faster then I like with the strokes but the pressure was good. She used baby oil as the moisturizer . At the end she applied warm towels on my feet , stomach and neck .. that felt amazing read more

Definitely NOT one of the best massages I've had. I opted for an hour long hot stone massage. I assumed that would involve the usual massage techniques (kneading, rolling, pressure variation, etc) along with hot stones, as most salons do. I was wrong, unfortunately. My hour long massage essentially felt like an hour long back rub with hot rocks passed across my back every few mins. There was no pressure variation, kneading, or rolling. Just back rubbing, some warm rocks, and too little aromatherapy oil at times. I rate massages based on how many times I doze off during the massage. During this massage, I didn't even come close to dozing off. Such a shame, because I was so looking forward to that great massage table sleep. read more

Oh my goodness, this was a wonderful place to be for my birthday this year. My husband booked the swedish massage package here, which included a back and foot scrub. The vibe from right when you walk in is as relaxing as can be. Everyone was so nice and they immediately offered water and tea while I waited for my massage room to be ready. But I wasn't ready for how much more relaxed I'd be. Everything from the aroma to the lighting to the firmness of the massage bed was perfect. My masseuse then came into the room, introduced herself, checked if I had any allergies to the products she would use, let me get comfortable, and then went to work. I felt renewed and cared for during my massage and I left feeling like I left earth and moved to the clouds lol. It was such a positive experience for both my husband and me. And of course, I felt safe and the place was very hygienic with regard to COVID-19. I've heard of Blue Bell Spa since I'm from DC but I've never been and I'm so lucky to have had an experience. Can't wait to go back! read more

Thank you to our masseuse and masseur for their magical hands! That deep-tissue massage worked wonders on my back! Me and my husband went in for a couples massage, as soon as we walked in we were greeted, we were offered tea and water, really made us feel comfortable. Our therapist started in a timely fashion, but before starting they asked us what exactly we were looking for so they could hit the right spots and they surely did! I would have been nice to receive a promotional discount as a first time customer, maybe it's something they should consider. But highly recommended! read more

See all

Love love the signature spa. Hubby & I did a couples spa for our anniversary. It was some mesmerizing he drifted to sleep. Thanks Bluebell Spa for a memorial visit. read more

Excellent and very relaxing Signature massage with Marcio. Looking forward to returning.

Ms. Yordanos is simply amazing. She was so attentive and really listened to my body. She did some light stretching, which was great and seemed to be exactly what I needed. I highly recommend her! read more

Blue Bell Spa has a great vibe and great staff. Yordanos gives an amazing massage, with a delicate touch, but creative and therapeutic manipulations that I had not really had before. A lot of leg and hip work, on top of a thorough and relaxing back massage. As gentle or firm as you wish, she understands your body and reads your cues to make sure she provides exactly the experience you want and need. read more

I got a last minute massage with Marcio on a whim, first time there, it was fantastic! I prefer deep pressure and have had every type of massage at every price point imaginable, and he was one of the best ever! My horrible neck pull is gone and my muscles are so loose I didn't even realize they were right before! The Spa itself is clean and smells great from what I saw, and the employees were very nice. read more

I had a wonderful deep tissue massage with Ms. Yordanos. It included hot stones, a scalp massage, and some light stretching which felt amazing. I will definitely be coming back! read more

This is the best Thai and deep tissue massage business I've found in DC. If you get a package it comes out to ~ $90 / hour which is great. I can almost always get in same day but be aware you have to schedule and pay over the app as they take no money inside the business. There's only one restroom so sometimes before or after a service you and other clients and therapist end up in a bit of a queue. read more

I love Bluebell! I started coming to see Ms. Karina in December 2021 for moderate acne and scarring. After receiving my very first service at Bluebell, I knew I was in the right place. Ms. Karina took the time to speak with me about my skin goals and how we could achieve the best results; 8 customized sessions later and I couldn't be happier. She is incredibly knowledgeable, and provided me with a daily skin regimen that is easy to stick to. After suffering with consistent breakouts for most of 20s, I have never been more confident in the resiliency of my skin. Thank you so much Ms. Karina!! read more

We visited Bluebell Spa DC on Saturday, October 20th at 10:30AM for an appointment for three of us. We each got a 75 minute massage. The treatment rooms are very comfortable, relaxing, and everything was ready to go on time for us. I know they I disrobed, laid down, and forgot about all of my worries. The therapist that I had (I forget her name) was fabulous and she used a variety of techniques and seemed to have absolutely magic hands. She was concerned about making sure that I felt good, which was a pleasant surprise from some of the places I have visited in the past. I would most definitely return to BlueBell again in the future, if my travels brought me to DC. read more

Oh. My. Wow. I just had the most incredible massage from Ana. I woke up with an incessant pain in my neck and shoulder blades and she knew just what to do. From start to finish, the massage was absolutely fantastic. She pulled out all the stops: alternating between sports and Swedish massage techniques to address the more tense muscle groups, using hot stones to soften the knots in my shoulders. It was heavenly... everything a spa treatment should be. Before we began, she asked me if I preferred oil, lotion, or cream. I told her that I preferred oil, and she selected a spicy rosemary blend that was absolutely wonderful. I believe that I requested an aromatherapy massage during my last visit, but I felt that there were way more aromatherapeutic elements in this massage than there were during my last one. She also asked if there were any areas that I wanted her to focus on. I told her about my neck and back pain and she told me she had just the thing. She was not kidding. Her expertise was evident both in her technique and in her recommendations. During the massage, she recommended a variety of things (yoga stretches, different kinds of pillows) to help me remain comfortable and otherwise in alignment in between massages, and even incorporated a few stretches into the massage itself. We went a few minutes over, but she told me that she did not want to stop in the middle of loosening the muscles that were giving me the most trouble. I've never experienced that before. Many of the spas I've been to are strict on the end time (regardless of whether or not we started on time), but Ana cared more about my comfort and satisfaction than she did about going a few minutes over. Wow. I'm also pleased to report that the spa has since addressed the loud music issue with the business below them. My massage room was a quiet, tranquil and relaxing atmosphere, and I enjoyed it immensely. I am beyond pleased with this experience, and I am glad to add mine to the myriad of 5-star reviews for this spa. I feel like I have a brand new body, and I am very much looking forward to my next appointment with Ana. read more

Beyond thrilled to have found this place--the atmosphere is so calm and peaceful, you feel like you left the city when you step inside. The staff are really warm and attentive, and you can tell they are taking COVID precautions very seriously--temperature checks when you enter, washing hands, masks worn at all times, special air filters, etc. My massage with Marcio was great (super relaxing, the perfect amount of pressure), and the facial was INCREDIBLE. Adena is fabulous, can't recommend her enough. She was gentle, super detailed, and took time to explain each process to me and even gave me lots of great advice on my dry winter skin. I can't wait to get back! read more

This was my second visit to Bluebell Spa so you can see I am sold on the treatment I got from Carlos and his staff. Carlos (the owner) and Selly, the receptionist, are super friendly and professional. Carlos is an excellent Massage Therapist and a good conversationlist if you want to talk...and his low low prices are muy affordable. His "Bluebell Signature Massage" is always right on time to relieve stiffness, aches and pains. The spa is nicely furnished and exceptionally clean...even el baño. read more

I received a Swedish massage from Marion that left me feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and honestly like a new person walking out HIGHLY RECOMMENDED I will be back for sure! read more

Had an AMAZING massage tonight by Ms. Yordanos. I loved every minute of it. I got the Bluebell Signature massage and it was hands down one of the best massages I've ever had. She was very skilled in her technique and I loved how she checked in a few times to make sure the pressure was right. The hot stones and hot towels were perfect and it was so incredibly relaxing. The aromatherapy from the oil was awesome too. I was mad at myself for not getting the full 90 minutes- next time! I will definitely be back. read more

We were able to schedule Christmas Eve. It was my son and husband's first massages. It was worth the 1.5 hrs drive!!

Amazing spa with incredible service. Just had the best massage of my life from Almaz. My previous visit was just as good - a wonderful facial from Ms.Karina who provided me with so much information on how to take care of my particular skin condition and even gave me a lists of products to avoid. When I accidentally purchased the wrong retinol she even called me and let me know she didn't think it was the best choice for my skin. I was able to return it and saved a lot of money! That to me was above and beyond the level of service I had expected! read more

I booked an hour massage and an express facial. The massage was absolutely heavenly. The next day -- I felt even more amazing. Thanks Marcio! My express facial was lovely. Ana was more than willing to give me tips about skin care routine. She also told me exactly what she was doing at each moment -- and what I should be feeling. My face felt so smooth afterwards. I will definitely be back! read more

Had the most amazing deep tissue massage with Ella at Bluebell! She made me feel at ease, asking me questions about my preferences while giving me enough space to relax. At the end, I didn't want to leave! Will definitely be back. read more

I was gifted an appointment for my 40th birthday by my wife while visiting DC. I loved my massage and my massage therapist Mrs. Denise. I had some issues with my feet from the night before, and she was still able to service my feet and avoid my problem area. Honestly, I have had massages before, but this was a different experience, and I enjoyed it. MS, Mrs. Denise worked on my problems areas while stretching me simultaneously. Wow! I need this type of service in Philly. I would absolutely go back when I am in town. read more

This was a surprise birthday present for a friend of mine.He loved his experience with Ms. Membi.The ambiance, kindness and services were on point.He left feeling great and he kept thanking me for having such a relaxing and wonderful experience. Added bonus- The receptionist helped me the entire time,while I was booking his appt online.She was extremely patient and kind.I highly recommend Bluebell spa if you're in DC. read more

Tonight I went to Blue Bell spa. My neck to the base of my back was in knots ,shoulder blade etc. I requested a 75 minute deep tissue massage. You can pick your masseuse, but this was my first time, so all I knew is I wanted a man! I got Marcio. I don't even know where to begin. He was kind, courteous and respectful. Before the session began he asked me what were my areas of concern. We discussed my concerns, he left the room to let me get undressed and a way we went. He periodically checked in with me to see how I was feeling. All along the way I felt great. I am typically a very chatty person; however, when I'm getting a massage I don't particularly care for a lot of conversation. I feel like he can read the room. Beyond the check-ins we didn't talk much. Perfecto! Sadly 75 minutes went just like that. At the end of the massage she asked me how it was feeling. I felt great.When I got off the table I was so relaxed, I felt super relaxed! I'm so grateful that I live within the neighborhood. Talk about a hidden gem.Bluebell, where have you been all my life? I'm so glad I have found this spa. I highly highly highly highly recommend spa and especially Marcio. read more

I had gift certificate from my birthday and thought I would give a shot. This place is amazing! The staff a super professional, it is clean and nice. The front desk was very welcoming. I had a summer special massage and cleansing facial and felt great. Might have fallen asleep during the facial bcoz it was that relaxing‍ read more

Quiet and no-frills but very clean space, great massage, friendly and easy booking. Doesn't look like much from outside but it's a solid option for massage. read more

Bruna is amazing! I've never felt so relaxed in my life. I'm definitely coming back the next time I'm tense and stressed.

5 stars is right. Yordanos was not only super sweet, welcoming and thoughtful (offered me tea, water), she asked exactly what I wanted and over delivered. She even used a bunch of unique techniques to work out tension in my neck, techniques I've never experienced before and worked exceptionally well. There was a slight mixup with the duration of my massage, I booked 75 and they only had 60 min available, but they somehow made it work and gave me an additional 5 mins at the end. Really amazing all around. Note this is a massage only facility, no hot tub, sauna, etc - but for a city spa it's the best around. I'm sure all staff are excellent, but Yordanos was flawless. Thank you! read more

Great location, friendly staff, lovely interior. Great atmosphere: super quiet, the music was relaxing, and great lemongrass smell. Ms. Yordanos was amazing for a sports massage- I run/spin & lift 6 days a week so this was so helpful. She is incredibly skilled! Choose her if you need some muscle relief- great touch, excellent stretch and manipulation. My soreness & stress melted away. Easy to book online. read more

I am very happy I discovered Bluebell spa in my neighborhood. The staff is professional and friendly. The service providers are top notch. I've seen several different massage therapists here and they have all been excellent. I've also had several facials. Recently I purchased both a massage package and facial package so I will be back many more times! Shout out to Yordanos and Karina! It's easy to schedule online or simply call them and they can accommodate multiple services and even couples. Parking in this area can be tight and limited to two hours unless you're a resident so plan accordingly. read more

Amazing way to recharge. It was my first time begging a massage and I loved it! Yordanos was amazing.

This spa is tucked away in an unassuming building on 14th. The reception is warm and welcoming, and the building is *pretty* soundproof from the noise outside. We had a wonderful one-hour couple's massage then went across the street for tacos for lunch. Perfect Sunday morning, in my opinion! I had Marcio and he found a surprising amount of knots in my back and shoulders. While I would have probably benefitted from a longer massage, I feel like he did excellent work in the hour he was given. I'm likely going to come back on my next 'treat yo self' day. read more

Bluebell Spa is a gem! I've been for a massage with Yordanos twice now and she does a fantastic job--one of the best masseuses, if not THE best, I've ever had. I look forward to my next visit! read more

I came back here to try another facial with Karina and had a great experience this time around. Karina asked about my skin concerns as well as my current skin care routine. She kept me informed of all the products which she put on my face and what they helped with. I came away with a few new tips and products that I will be incorporating into my skincare routine. I also received a brief shoulder/arm massage which was a great addition. The extractions were also easy and painless and I left feeling like my face was clean and glowing. I enjoyed this experience much more than the last and would suggest booking with karina if you are getting a facial! read more

This spa was recommended by a friend after I pulled a muscle and sustained an injury. Ms. Yordanos Seyoum was so helpful with not only rehabbing/massaging the injury, but incorporated recovery techniques to stretch my legs (I'm a runner!). I don't regularly seek out massages, but I feel so much better after working with her, I might make this a regular appointment. Thanks Ms. Yordanos! I highly recommend to all athletes. read more

Good massage, not so good ambiance. For the price, I expected this to be an upscale experience, however this spa is not different from others that I have attended with massages under $100 per person. I booked a couples massage for what I was hoping to be a romantic experience for my fiancés birthday. Things started out well, however we were able to hear very loud music either from a nearby apartment, restaurant, or business below the spa, completely interrupting the relaxed environment. On top of that, one of the masseuses phones kept going off with text or email notifications (not a vibrate, but an alert), and he had a runny nose and was sniffling loudly for the duration of the massage. While the massage itself was fine, I expected much more out of the ambiance and experience. Will not be returning. read more

Love this place. Easy to book, super friendly and professional staff, very clean facility, and great massage therapists. I'm a dancer and have been getting massages for over 20 yrs, so I'm pretty picky and have a lot to compare it to! I've seen Ella several times (she's fantastic), and my husband has had Carlos and someone else (can't remember who), but all of our experiences have been great. Great location as well. Very close to Columbia Heights metro and right along the bus line up and down 14th St. read more

I have been going to Bluebell Spa since it opened. I finally found my go to therapist. Yordanos is the BEST at deep tissue massage. I go in feeling exhausted and leave feeling completely relaxed. I highly recommend Yordanos! read more

I'd never had a facial before going to Bluebell and I've now had two facials with Ana. She's incredible! No complaints at all. She makes you so comfortable throughout the whole experience and truly cares about the results. She's not pushy on selling the products at all but also provides great advice on a personalized skin care routine. I'm already scheduling my next facial with her. Definitely recommend! read more
