    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 !

As I entered the establishment, I noticed that it was clean and quiet, which I like. Even though I was late, the receptionist welcomed me in, and the masseur still provide me with a full 60-minute massage. So, real quick, I don't prefer to be massaged by a dude. I'm not homophobic or "a manly man," I just prefer a woman. I believe it's because I feel more relaxed with a woman. Nevertheless, in this experience, I received a masseur named Zack. Zack was incredible! Just his way of talking and his passion for the profession made me feel at ease. Also, I love a ton of pressure on my back and Zack was able to provide that and some. He did such a great job that I had to tip him, even though the massage was previously paid for by my friend. This was a great massage given by a professional and thorough masseur. If you need some muscles kneaded, Zack is your guy. Enjoy! Side note: I was late because I could not find this place. Well, if you're like me, know that it is right next to the Apple Credit Union in the Potomac Festival Shopping Center; Staples is across the parking lot.

    I hate to start off low but I got to for the first time experience here. I have been needing and…read morewanting a massage for months due to me working out and the type of job I have wearing heavy equipment on my waist and body all day and night. I know massages/facials can get expensive so I wanted to try out a few spots first before I spent too much money. So I decided to go on Groupon and see what was available. I purchase one a few months and needed to use it up before it expired. Since this place was so close to my house I was excited to see how this would go....boy was I extremely disappointed. I have gotten massages in so many places around the world and always had a great experience. I would feel so rejuvenated, relaxed, and be ready to go take a nap. But this time around....not so much. I guess I should have known this masseuse wasn't going to be good because he had a very cynical attitude from the start. He started out acted like I was late for my 7:00 appointment, but I was checking in at the front reception desk since 6:50. I was up there asking questions and getting more information on possibly getting a membership. If you was so concerned about me maybe being late why not take a trip to the front and see if the client has arrived. So after this less then stellar introduction he tried to make small talk. But again....in a very cynical type of way. Knowing I'm the last customer of the day I guess John really wasn't trying to do his best job. He told me he did "deep tissue" which I informed is good because of my shoulders, legs especially knees, and feet were my main issues. Why when he asked me why I came I said "because I'm sore from working out and my everyday job" he kind of "scoffed" as if this was a lame reason for me to come. See where I'm going with this... So the massage started and John was making all these weird sounds and noises throughout the ENTIRE session, but didn't really do anything remotely close to a massage. I get a better massage at the nail salon! He never touched my feet...acted like he couldn't do anything with my knees which I've never heard a masseuse say that before. And his supposedly special shoulder "technique" he kept emphasizing wasn't more then some pulling on my shoulder that I could have went to a chiropractor to do better. I don't know where this guy went to school because the service was horrible. I couldn't even relax and sleep like I usually do because of all this grunting and pulling he was doing. Afterwards he just left the room and I never even seen him again. This is the first time I have ever had an experience like this before and I would hope the last. Just imagine if I would have paid full price I would have felt robbed out of my money for the unpleasant experience. I was tempted to not give a "tip", but opted for $5 only because it was a Groupon and I didn't pay full price... Will I come again? Yes I'll give them a try but if John is the only one available I will pass. I like to give them the benefit of the doubt that their other masseuses are better. How I left out of there is not what I expected...American standards need to be improved because overseas in other countries are killing the massage game! Y'all need to do better!

So let me tell you how I came in for a consultation with Erica and she immediately addressed my skincare needs AND was able to book me for a facial the same day!

Now... this facial, I walked out looking all types of Glazed Krispy Kreme doughnut okayyyy! I didnt even have plans until later but I went to the grocery store just because I wanted to walk around giving FACE cause I looked that damn good!

That was my 4th surgery for revisions after having a bilateral mastectomy with immediate DIEP flap reconstruction due to breast cancer. When I started going to Carol my torso area was hard a brick! I was behind the 8 ball in a major way with getting my massages done (about 8 months) due to excruciating wide spread joint pain from fibromyalgia. 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!
