    tl;dr 100% recommend pampering yourself with a caviar facial and a spa pedicure This was my first spa experience since the pandemic started. Sabrina was my esthetician for the caviar facial. In the beginning, she asked if I was interested in a educational or relaxing experience. I asked a bunch of questions, and she gladly explained everything she was doing. There was also a very nice shoulder massage. The caviar facial (creamy colored mask) has anti-aging properties, and left my face feeling hydrated and smooth like a baby. The nail salon operates separately from the facial/massage area, and handle their own appointments. There was a decent amount of people getting their nails done. I was 20 minutes early for my appointment and they were still able to take me in. The salon chairs look gorgeous and new. I felt comfortable and everything was super clean! The spa pedicure comes with callus remover and foot/leg massage. My feet and legs are so soft! Very happy with the service here! For the facials, you're able to leave tip on your card. For the nail salon, it's best to bring cash for tip.

    This is my new go to spa! My experience was great! I booked the full spa package for my first visit and they did not disappoint! I received a reminder email and text message a few days prior and a courtesy call the day before my appointment! The customer service was excellent! Upon arrival I was greeted with a warm welcome and given the key to my locker. The robe provided was super comfortable and it smelled amazing in there! I'm super big on cleanliness so I was very pleased with the superb upkeep and condition of every room, especially the locker room! It was a super relaxing experience! I loved the whirlpool and the wet sauna! The dry sauna also had a honeycomb pot full of water and a steam releaser that was activated once you poured in the water! My deep tissue massage was amazing ! I would recommend Katrina or Angelica for a deep tissue! I also got my very first customized facial from Erika! She was very knowledgeable and super easy going! She even offered some recommendations for skincare items based on my skin type after the facial. Lastly, I enjoyed the comfy VIP lounge and got to relax and sip my complimentary mimosa! I have added monthly facials in addition to my biweekly massages as part of my my self care routine !

    First and foremost I LOVE the staff here ! Secondly I've had some insecurities about my skin and I ALWAYS leave here feeling vibrant and just all around happy . The environment is beautiful, the experience is amazing & the staff genuinely care about your needs . I model so my skin is a necessity & ever since coming here I've never been disappointed . I HIGHLY recommend Sabrina ! She definitely takes care of your specific needs for YOUR skin type ! I also recommend the hydra facial it's my new favorite thing !!! With all that being said I definitely recommend Essentials Massage & Facial Spa . Take it from me , they know what they are doing and they are the standard !

By the time Carol got her hands on my I was twisted & knotted up MESS! Did you catch that...I WAS... Carol is AMAZING!!! I travel about 50 min to get to her & do it happily! She is worth her weight in gold! She is HIGHLY skilled & how she connects with your body using her fingers, hands, forearms & elbows as her guide will blow your mind! We are now working on scar tissue. NO internal fiber can escape Carol's hands!! She is like a medal detector. Once she gets a "hit" & her "radar" goes off, she gets DOWN in those nooks & crannies & will set you FREE!! Before Carol got her hands on me I could not, without joint pain, twist my torso area, lift my arms above my head, bend over or lift my legs. Now...NOW...I can get into yoga poses I could only DREAM of before!!! Oh yeah....she gives homework assignments. Mine was to do yoga. I communicate with her just like I would my Drs. I don't add to anything without first consulting them. I wanted to start Palaties but she advised against it because palaties is designed to strengthen muscles & at the stage I was in at the time, that would as she explained would strengthen the disfunction I was already dealing with which is the exact opposite of what her goal was for me at that time. If you are suffering in any way in your body, PLEASE reach out to Carol. Help IS out there & she CAN help! Your body will THANK YOU! You owe it to yourself to get your life BACK & to get BACK to the things that pain keeps you from. You will KNOW when you've been TOUCHED BY CAROL!

I would travel for this luxury. The spa is in a building with a bunch of other small hair salon businesses. The lobby area is small, you can in when you're there and she will buzz you in. She was finishing up with a previous client. Her salon is very cozy! Love the ambiance and you felt immediately zen. Anna Mae also has a very calming demeanor which is nice. She was very sweet from the start and throughout the entire process making sure I was comfortable. She offered me snacks and beverages as well. She started by looking at my scalp up close with her camera and I was shook with how much build up and nasty stuff was on my scalp. I'd been having itchiness and flakiness for the past 6 months so that's also why I was really looking forward to this scalp detox. She taught me so much about things I can do to better my scalp help which can go such a long way. She also shed light that the products I'm using are harming my hair which I would've never known. She's very knowledgeable and it was relieving to know what has been causing my scalp issues and how to fix it. She did a did deep scalp detox and cleanse which was very relaxing. Some of the solutions felt tingly on my scalp but I liked that feeling. The vibration scalp massage was my favorite part. After she did the entire scalp detox and treatment, she showed me the aftermath and all the build up was gone. You could even see new hair follicles already which was crazy. After she showed me that, she blew out my hair and made it all pretty. She recommended I come back in 2 weeks to follow up and see the progression. if I continue to see her within 6 weeks, the scalp detoxes are free which is nice. It is expensive but it's worth it. The scalp detox is $155, and the deep cleaning was an extra $125. The blowout was $65.

Parking & Location This was located at a strip mall so the parking was plentiful. It was a huge parking lot so I see no one having issues finding a parking spot. This was located in a suite of salons located in Woodbridge, VA. Ambiance The entrance was very secure as it was double doors and you needed to call your stylists before being granted entry to the actual suites. In between the double doors is a small sitting area. I used the directory to dial Anna Mae and she responded fast. She was out to greet me within minutes. I followed her back to her private salon where I was surprised to see that there were no other clients. Normally, at any salon you'll have one person under the hair dryer, another waiting, and one still in the chair finishing up. This was already a plus because it was a custom experience. Experience She begun by introducing herself to me and showing me as well as telling me about her certifications. She is not only a Licensed Cosmetologist but also a Certified Japanese Head Spa Specialist. Next she offered me snacks and chai tea....happily excepted all of the above. I mean these were the good snacks, kind bars, Olli Pop soda, RXBAR protein/granola bars, and fresh chai tea. She explained the service options and possible add-ons. I opted for the deep cleaning option. Then she brought out the camera and showed me my scalp that I do not grease but looked like it hadn't been washed in a long while. She proceeded to take me over to the shampoo table, yes you lay down to get your hair washed. She provided me with a steam warm eye patch to place over my eyes, and I got under a big cozy blanket. She put a pillow under my legs so I would be comfortable. She was very gentle as I have type 4 natural hair and she took her time to separate my hair into sections, detangle, and used her finger pads to scrub my head. As if that was not enough, she asked permission to massage my feet and later my back. Consent is so important and she definitely understood that. Of course I agreed and was basically in heaven. I believe the massagers were percussion massagers so they had some power to them. When I was all washed, I went back to the chair and received a scalp massage as well. Then she showed me my scalp again on the camera and explained the treatment to me. It looked like someone else's head based on the earlier video. I could even see where some of the follicles were trapped and unable to grow from the previous build up and had now been freed (if that makes sense). I opted for the blow dry add on because why not. She'd been so gentle with my type 4 hair and I figured I would milk it. LOL the experience was immaculate and Anna Mae was a wonderful stylist!! Ten out of Ten would absolutely recommend her services. I will be back for special occasions or treats :).

First of all, Kathie has such a wealth of knowledge about anatomy and physiology, natural remedies, current products on the market, and truth in advertising. She caters to each individual and spends the time making sure you walk away looking great, feeling great, and are more knowledgeable about how to best take care of your skin. On my most recent visit, I got the works. Kathie is the only person in the state of Virginia who uses sugaring for hair removal, and it's awesome. It is kind of like waxing without the heat or irritation on your skin. In the process you also get a little exfoliation too (bonus!). It was so cool, I wanted her to do my whole body (maybe on the next visit). Kathie measured the hydration level in my face, exfoliated away all the gross dead skin, moisturized me up, and even got rid of all of my blemishes. She has this cool argon tool that literally took some huge zits and made them go away in less than a day. For each step, Kathie talked to me about my skin and simple ways that I can improve it at home. She also had great suggestions on products (that she doesn't get a cut from) on the market that will help in the long term. We also had a whole fascinating conversation about sunscreen that blew my mind. Did I mention that she gives a massage to top it all off? I walked away looking better than ever and not needing a DROP of makeup for the whole day. My fiance didn't know that I had the appointment and when I came home he asked what I did that today because I was glowing. If you are need of a little pampering, Kathie is your girl. If you've got a big day/event coming up, Kathie is your girl. If you've got some minor things to work on, Kathie is your girl. I will NEVER waste my money on a facial from anyone else again.

She gives you a lot of budget-friendly tips for taking care of your skin and doesn't push her products. She has actually discouraged me regarding certain products saying that I've asked about, stating flat-out I don't need them yet at my age. Her sugar-removal process is amazing and so much less painful than waxing, without the ingrown bumps or irritated and red skin. It lasts much longer too!
