Jamachi Plastic Surgery: Chukwuemeka Onyewu, MD - Medical Spas Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Horrible results! Dr. Is very dismissive about concerns. Only in it for the money, heck with others self esteem.

I truly felt welcome which for me is a must! Dr. O's entire team are exceptionally patient and embracing. His bedside manner is exceptional and compassionate. The patient coordinator I worked with "Felicia" is extremely knowledgeable and kind. I went for skin tightening and after this experience .. I have plans for more! read more

Although, spa week began on April 11, I was able to finagle an appointment on April 10. I was running late but I called ahead but to my delight April, my technician, had the foot bath ready. The aroma of the soy/honey mixture in the bath greeted me as I entered the door. The pedicure chairs are brand new - as in they got them yesterday - plus they have massagers built into them. Before she began April turned on the massager. Needless to say between that and hot water foot bath I was in heaven! The soy milk and honey mixture soy coupled with the jets on the new chairs created massive amounts of bubbles. Poor April had to stop and pull some out every few minutes. After the maintenance during the soak, April applied the Jamachi "Soy Milk & Honey scrub" - a honey-based sugar scrub. It felt amazing on my skin! She massaged it into my legs and feet left it on for a few minutes. I felt the stress and tension seeping out of my body. She washed off the scrub dried my feet and massaged them with a soy milk and honey lotion. I brought my own polish - Essie Sand Tropez Spring 2011 - April applied it masterfully. We completed the process for the manicure. April placed marbles in the manicure bowl it was very stimulating. It was a very nice touch. After the regular maintenance, April massaged the soy milk and honey scrub into my hands and let it sit for several minutes. After I washed my hands, she dried, massaged them and carefully applied my polish. Overall, my experience at Jamachi for Spa Week was amazing! I've visited the spa before and I would absolutely recommend them - expect excellent service and great options. read more

See all

The faces and personalities you put at your front desk REALLY make the difference!. The receptionist on the phone was incredibly unpleasant - irritated and it showed... through the phone! And this was both times I called - a month apart. She was either yawning on the phone, or clearing her throat, or giving dramatic pauses after you ask a question, or stating the obvious almost in a "duh" manner... it was really bad. Why would I want to spend my money there ? More tangible reasons.. they call you the day before your appointment (that you scheduled a month ago) to reschedule. Then after you reschedule, you find out about the $150 consultation fee that YOU ask about. Because they don't think it's something they should throw in when you first made the consultation appointment a month ago. I didn't get receptionist's name . But she had a bit of an accent. Our people. She was African. read more

Dr Onyewu is by far one of the most professional and caring men in this profession. It was a pleasure and honor to have done business with you . The staff busted their butts to make sure my insurance covered all major medical expenses and I felt super comfortable expressing my fears and concerns for my procedure. I would highly recommend Dr O to anyone seeking assistance in this field. I am thankful I trusted my instincts and followed through visiting the office. read more

2.5 stars I honestly do feel badly giving Jamachi such a comparatively low score, because I do believe that the spa is attractive and well-maintained and that the technicians are friendly. Unfortunately, though, I did not find their laser treatment to be all that successful, and since I have had laser hair removal before and know that it works for my body, I had much higher expectations than what they could deliver. I went in with a Groupon for six laser hair removal treatments on my lower leg, and to be honest a not-so-small part of me wonders whether they may have kept the power of the laser lower than usual for me so that I would have to come back more times in order to actually see the results I expected. For the first four sessions I had the same technician every time, and while she was funny I hardly even felt anything from the laser....and the pay-off seemed to match that lack of any pain whatsoever. For the final two treatments, I had a different technician and she actually turned up the juice in my final treatment to the point where it did hurt, but it also FINALLY started to work. Unfortunately, by that point I had already decided I wouldn't be spending any more money at this business, but if she had been giving me treatment like that sooner than my final visit, things might have been very different. I usually did not have much of a wait, but I also made all my appointments first thing in the morning on Saturdays, so I imagine that wasn't a very popular time. I would advise it for anyone hoping to get in and out of there quickly! The one time I did make a weeknight appointment, I was there for well over an hour, which was not very fun. But at least the space they provided for me to wait was pretty relaxing. In short, there were definitely some merits to Jamachi, but not enough to keep me coming back for what would normally be a very expensive treatment. On my budget, if I'm gonna drop that much cash, I had better be 100% certain that I'm going to get effectiveness to match. read more

I hate to say this, but I can't really recommend this spa. They apparently just remodelled - and in fact were closed the first time I tried to book. I made appointments finally for a massage and pedicure. The morning of my appointments, I got a call that they could not do the pedicure. I went anyway, because I had taken the day off. When I went in, it still looked under construction and the lobby just felt dirty - literally, leaves from the street littered the floor and the furniture looked like 70's office leftovers. I'm really not a snob usually, but to put it lightly, it really wasn't inviting or relaxing at all. The massage room was much nicer and I relaxed a little - warm, nicely lit, I put the reception area experience out of my mind. The massage started wonderfully - the table was heated and I've never had a massage therapist begin by washing my feet, massaging them with lotion and putting on socks. That was WONDERFUL having come in from the cold. However, the rest of the massage was not so great. Actually, I felt manhandled when I left. Instead of long, smooth strokes, it felt like she was giving me a locker-room rub-down. I literally was in more pain when I left then when I came in and it took me two days to turn my neck without pain. True, when she asked if it was OK, I did not give my critique there on the table, so the blame is not all with the therapist, but overall, I can't say I had a great experience. read more

3.5 stars Not as bad as I thought. I have been here twice for a Groupon laser hair removal deal on my lower legs and so far it has worked and I don't have to shave as much. The only things is there is always a bit of wait time on the phone and in the office and sometimes the people can be a little snoody. I also felt a little bit of pain from the LSR device, but it was only temporarily and it did not leave any marks or after pain. She lowered the power and it felt a bit better. I have not done anything else at this spa and not sure I would if I didn't have a groupon. Plus I don't really do mani-pedis, facials, or spa stuff in general. But, would recommend it for LSR. read more

I have very mixed feelings about Jamachi. It's the holidays and I'm feeling charitable, so I'm going with 3.5 stars for the staff. For the spa itself, definitely 2 stars. I had very limited time to get a pedicure last weekend and this spa is steps from my job. They had a specials board outside that the champagne pedi was $30. I looked it up online and that normally goes for $60 so despite the dismal reviews, I decided to check it out for myself. I called around 9 a.m. and Elizabeth answered the phone. I was surprised (due to the bad reviews) that she was warm and friendly. I asked if they had a lunchtime appointment that day for just the champagne pedicure and she said April could see me at noon. When I arrived, Elizabeth again was very welcoming and had a big smile. The only annoying thing, which I don't blame her for, is that you have to fill out an intake form even for just a pedi. I think April is a pretty good tech and she was nice to talk to during the pedi. She offered me something to drink before she began and asked how my day was going. She also took her time during the pedi and I was able to really relax since it took almost an hour. So why the low rating? In spite of the great staff, Jamachi just doesn't live up to the "spa" name. If I had paid full price for the champagne pedi, I would feel totally gyped. The products used seemed to come straight from Marshall's. And call me a lush but if it's called a champagne pedicure, I should get some to drink! The mani/pedi area is in the reception lobby and separated only by a curtain so you hear everyone coming in/out and chatting. They have Essie and OPI polishes but they're old and outdated. In fact, the first was OPI bottle I picked up had turned solid. Overall, the nail area just looked shabby and it's clear that Jamachi provides nail services as an afterthought. read more

I went to Jamachi with a Groupon for laser hair removal on my chin area. After my first visit, there was still hair present as if I didn't just go in for a treatment. I found it weird that they didn't offer me a mirror to look at the results after she was done but I shrugged it off and decided just to check when I got outside into my car. When I saw it, I immediately called them and told them that hair was still present and if I could come back in to have it done over. They informed me that it takes a few treatments for the hair to not be visible? I found that off, but for it to be my first treatment I went along. The second treatment was better and all the hair was gone after I left. Not for good though, which was what I expected. I thought by 4-5 I would see little to no hair but that wasn't the case and at the 6th appointment I knew that I wasted my money. The treatments were not consistent. I would say 2 out of the 6 were done 100%. The other four were a waste of time and I feel it was done purposely so that you have to come back. I already didn't have a lot of hair to be removed but it was annoying to deal with so I thought this would be a good complete fix or at least make plucking easier but it didn't. The staff are nice. The environment seemed clean. I wouldn't recommend it for laser though. read more

Dr. Chukwuemeka Onyewu placed female breast implants into a male's breast. Yes, no kidding. I had to have them removed. I will post more information, pictures and videos. Later, I will discuss his BBL technique and fat transfer and liposuction. If he does a BBL on you, it's not going to last. Because, he does not know how to inject the fat. read more

Best doctor ever! You want to be snatched and don't want to have to go to see Dr. Miami or Dr. Dra Lily in Brazil to be a Yilly doll.... become The REAL Dr. "O" doll. Best decision of your life. How do I know??! Not only do I work WITH him... He is most definitely my surgeon too. read more

I completely agree with A.D. below. i am guessing we had the same masseur, because I too fell victim to being slicked down with enough oil to fill a drum and creeped out. I ventured to this place for spa week, thinking it was close to home and could be fun. Um, think again! As soon as I entered, I was disappointed. The receptionists barely acknowledged me until I went up and announced my presence and stated I was there for my appointment. I was then signaled to wait in one of the two uncomfortable, plastic chairs up front. As I sat, I saw there was some fruit (oddly displayed and covered in saran wrap) and a tin of Danish cookies. I figured I would help myself. Bad idea. The fruit was mushy and the cookies were hard as rock. I was eventually taken to the back to begin my massage. The room was very bare, the table was cold, and the music was odd. The masseur did not ask me anything about my massage preferences before he began. He then proceeded to slick me down with so much oil I was actually sliding out of my shoes once I left. It also did not smell very good. ( I am guessing this was because he used the geranium oil instead of the chocolate - he did not even ask which I preferred before he began.) He went through my massage barely getting any pressure points then uncermoniously told me my hour was up, and left the room. Once I was out, he mentioned, "Do you want tea, or water, or to go pay up front?" What? That does not even make sense... I would definitely NOT recommend this spa. Caveat emptor (buyer beware). read more

Came here to partake in Spa Week specials. Went with a friend to get their Geranium Sage full body massage. This was actually my first full body massage, so I don't have much to compare to (aside from a cream bath with scalp, shoulder, and arm massage I got in Indonesia), but I was very pleased with my experience. I definitely came out feeling less tense in the neck and shoulder area. My masseuse was very sweet and was always asking to be sure the pressure was alright. Upon leaving, my friend and I both did receive coupons for our next visit as well as referral cards... if you refer 3 friends and they schedule an appointment, you receive a free spa service with the purchase of another. Again, not having much to compare to, I thought this place was pretty great. It was a pretty small place but the entire staff were very welcoming and I also had no problems getting an appointment. Now if only spa week happened more often, maybe I'd be able to afford more frequent trips to the spa! oh... and fyi they extended their spa week specials another week! read more

I had cosmetic procedure here. They staff was very nice and helpful. The doctor was very helpful and answered all my questions. After my procedure, I wish there was more assistance there and another room where I could lay down before leaving. All in all, the staff was help and nice. My procedure was worth it, I like the results. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but I cannot recommend it. Their prices are maybe 10-15% cheaper than what I've seen elsewhere, but it is not worth the 30-40% lower quality of service. My "spa pedicure" was just like a regular pedicure, though quite a bit pricier, and the technician just seemed in a hurry to leave. The massage therapist was actually pretty good, but the table was wobbly (not soothing), and the room was too small for her to maneuver around the table easily. So, if you're looking for a pedicure or massage, this is not the place to go. read more

The laser tech is personable but I'm upset at having to wait 40 minutes after my scheduled appointment time. Grrrr

This spa is STILL CLOSED. I had purchased a Groupon almost a year ago, and each time I try to make an appointment, they answer "Trendz Rejuvination Spa", but am told they are closed. What is the deal with this place???? read more

Went in for a pedicure because I had a gift card. The pedicure was okay but the massage was soft and quick. I would not go back to this place for a Signature Spa Pedicure for $48. too expensive and not worth it. Location is great but too pricey. read more

I also came here for Spa Week and had the chocolate head to toe massage. I was a little skeptical on having a massage because I had one previously at another spa a couple of years ago and did not like it, but I figured for the price...how bad can it be? This massage was absolutely wonderful. The person that I had, Emmanuel, was wonderful with his hands and found the tension spots in my shoulders and neck. He focused extra attention here because of that. The atmosphere was very welcoming and wasn't uptight like that of other spas. I also received a coupon for $20 off my next service and the referral card for 3 friends. I am looking forward to hopefully going back before the next spa week to use the $20 off coupon and then again for the Fall Spa Week. read more

Through Groupon, I went for lower legs and underarm from Oct 2013 to March 2014. You get 6 sessions. The first 3 sessions were great with going to one person. She was pleasant and very thorough. For the fourth to last sessions, I had a different person each time. On my 5th & last session, they had to reschedule me twice due to first laser machine down, so they said. The last few sessions felt rushed. After couple of months, my underarm hair grew back with finer hair which you still can see. I expected to have no visible hair at all. As for my legs, the hair in some spots grew back, so I find my self plucking them out. I've had laser hair removal in the past on my bikini area with a dermatologist office and it worked successfully. read more

Don't get the Groupon! It is not worth it! The service is terrible. It is hard to get them on the phone to schedule an appointment. Their appointments get canceled all the time because the system is down. I actually went in for one appointment. They use an old ND:YAG laser. It was very painful and not nearly as effective as some of the other treatments that I had received. When I went in for my second appointment I had to wait over an hour just to be told that they had no idea if and when they could actually see me that day. It has been impossible to reschedule since. I asked for my money back from Groupon. Bad customer service, questionable laser care. read more

Great place to go for a mani/pedi. They have a huge range of services and staff is very friendly!

Although the spa is small, it is a very inviting space. I came to the spa during spa week and received the organic grape champagne facial. It was amazing. I was so relaxed as Trina exfoliated and cleansed my skin. Also, the mask smelled great! Upon leaving, I received a $20 dollar gift certificate to come back to use at the spa. I will definitely come back read more

I'm lost with words when it comes to Dr.O! He is an excellent doctor and my results exceeded my expectations in every way, professional, kind, informative, honest, and caring to say the least! He and his exceptional staff checked on me during my recovery period and every office visit I felt cared for. Dr. O is a humble professional physician! As my bestie stated, "Dr. Miami don't have shit on Dr. O"! I would highly recommend Dr. O without reservations to anyone!!! You will be in gifted caring hands. read more

I bought a Groupon for laser hair removal. The first appointment went fine. And before I left I scheduled my next appointment for 3 weeks later. I came in for my next treatment at the scheduled day and time. I walked in and waited 15 minutes before any of the staff acknowledged my presence. Then I told the receptionist I was here for my appointment. She looked on the computer and could not find my name or my appointment details. I was a bit pissed off but I agreed to reschedule. I then asked when the next appointment for laser was available, the receptionist told me that both laser machines were down and needed to be serviced and and that a technician was supposed to be coming out next week but she couldn't tell me exactly when the lasers will be back up and running. By this point I was done. I told them I'd think about coming back but I won't be. I got a refund from Groupon and I would not recommend this place. This staff is not efficient nor particularly welcoming and I would've appreciated a call to tell me that they weren't able to keep my appointment instead of me having to waste my time driving there to find out. read more

I just recently went there and I'd say the service was mediocre. The scheduling process as one other reviewer stated was a nightmare. My friend and I were going together and wanted to go at the same time...they called an hour before the appointment time to say hey we can't do both at once can one of you come an hour later...Huhhh? We come to a spa to relax not be bombarded with those problems. Anyways we deal with it....we requested female therapists..i got a man...my friend insisted when she have a woman when she got there and did..I didn't have that option. First off..the waiting area isn't very spa like especially after going to say a red door or another spa of that nature...they had like news tv or something on a tv...it wasn't very nice...anyways...I wasn't even offered water or anything..like nothing....I saw a little table with a k-cup machine and some water fountains but no usual spa set up....the room itself was pretty small...no changing areas with robes so you change in the little room...I was very uncomfortable with the man rubbing all over me honestly....I felt like he was being sloppy and rushing thru certain parts too ..oh and he never even asked was his pressure ok or if there were certain trouble areas..just went in for the kill....I know they use oils when massaging but my goodness I think he dumped the whole bottle on me...my skin felt gross....there were hardwood floors and his clunky dress shoes were not AT ALL relaxing...the music being played wasn't soothing it was like jazz or carribean throughout...he asked a little too many questions throughout...there was no aromatherapy or nice smell in the room at all so I missed that...the table was cold...it would have been nice to have heated tables....overall i would not go back between the scheduling mix up and the lack of "perks" ...I'll continue elsewhere. read more

Great massage by Nmaku. But they were late for my appointment with no explanation or apology. Atmosphere somewhat unprofessional. They do not provide individual towels, robes, slippers or lockers for those having spa services. Now, I could understand if their prices were cheaper. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Chukwuemeka Onyewu of Jamachi Plastic Surgery to anyone who wants and is ready to lose fat just in one day to get rid of stubborn fat, cellulitis and begin body contouring within a couple of hours. Dr, Onyewu is an experienced surgeon who has made my dream come true. Within just one visit his friendly staff. scheduled my procedure at my convenience in terms of date and timing of the day. Dr. Onyewu offered me a tailormade package for 4 areas inclusive of tummy tuck EX. Dr. Onyewu transformed 3 rolls or midsections of my abdomen in to one work of art. He is genius. He was also able to remove the cellulitis from my thighs via the liposuction. I was able to start walking the next day postoperative. I have been so hesitant and pondered doing this for years, finally I made up my mind, I wish I had done it sooner! So incredibly pleased with the results and Dr. Onyewu and your team, you rock and you are THE BEST!!! Thing that has ever reshaped my body. If you are thinking about having a procedure done, RUN, don't walk to JAMACHI with Dr. Onyewu. I love my results and determined to maintain my new body with its contours. I am still in the healing process and have regained my body boost and confidence. It is worth it. My husband and my family are also pleased with the results on my behalf. I am going to be lit in my new body form. Now I have an hour glass shape. read more

Dr. Onyewu performed my breast reduction surgery on Aug 9, 2017. Anyone who has ever considered or had a breast reduction knows that it is an emotional process. From the beginning of the process to the actual surgery and now post op Dr. Onyewu and the staff at Jamachi have been wonderful! The professionalism and confidence of Dr. Onyewu made me feel at ease and better about getting this procedure performed. I am satisfied with the results and would recommend him for anyone thinking about getting a breast reduction. read more

I had similar experience as Alexandra. I got almost zero result after 6 treatments and felt like the machine was not on during the first 4 treatments. I did hair laser hair removal treatments before and I know how it supposed to feel and the result you are supposed to have. I feel like it was a waste of money and time. After expressing my concerns for many times the tech suggested my to buy a second package for the price of Groupon deal, but I decided that I do not trust it enough to waste another 6 months. read more

Jamachi 2/16/2013 I made an appointment the week for Feb 11 for Feb 16 at 1:45pm. I received a call on Friday to confirm my 1:30 appt. You do NOT call a client and tell them that their appointment changed and expect them to be ok with it. A professional responsible business would call and clear the time change first. First mistake...any many others after that. My intention for the "Pamper for a Day" was exactly that - be pampered. Except I was more stressed out than anything - NOT good! The first person who came and performed did my facial for 30 minutes. She was the most pleasant experience of the entire 2.5 hour visit at Jamanchi. I was told to remove my clothes. I did. I folded them and put on a wrap to do my facial. After I was done, I was asked to put on a robe - I was going to another room. It was weird to me. So facial in one room, massage in another room, ok. The transition was not smooth. I had to wait in a very small room for the massage therapist to come and get me to move to the massage room. In the meantime, the facial person, came and gave me my purse to bring around with me my entire time of being "pampered." There are no lockers on site for clients to use to store their belongings. This is not a spa! The massage therapist came into the small room and was confused about what I was getting done. She asked me if I was getting laser treatment. I said no. She had to go back to the front to confirm what I was getting. Wow. The confusion! And it continues. Ready to get my massage with my diaper bag on my shoulders since there are no personal lockers - where is my clothes I thought? We got to the room and the massage therapist asked me what areas to focus on. Ok. Good turn of events, instead of assuming what I wanted like most businesses do. She asked, and I told her. Thinking the areas I told her was her focus. It wasn't. She gave a regular old massage. So Disappointed! At the end of the massage - no one knew where my clothes were. I waited for a few minutes for someone to tell me what the next thing was. This is the second time I wondered in the hallway confused. After they found my clothes, the therapist brought my clothes all rolled in a ball. Seriously! My clothes were brought to me in a ball I said. My coat, expensive coat, pants and shirt! They told me to get dress since I was going to get the last treatment, mani and pedi in the pamper for the day package. The mani and pedi is in the front of the building where you walked in to be greeted by the front desk person. A set of curtains separated the mani and pedi studio from the front desk and it was cold as hell. Oh and that isn't it. I got a half ass pedi and mani. The nail tech thought she gave me a gel mani since she offered nothing to dry my nails and wanted me to eat lunch with wet nails. I had to ask for fan to dry my nails. It still wasn't dry and I got frustrated. I wanted to get out of there. I am ready to pay - and this is the kicker. I told the nail tech, the woman who rang me up, I had a gift certificate. I handed her the gift certificate and my credit card. She charged my credit card the total and did not apply the gift card credit. I didn't realize this until I got home. I am a mother of a 5 month old baby - sleep deprived. Hence the pamper for a day package which was disappointing and downright stressful. I am still trying to contact Jamanchi for a refund as they charge me the full price on my cc when I had a gift card. How UNprofessional. THIS IS NOT A SPA! DO NOT GO THERE TO RELAX! read more

I have serious reservations about recommending this place to anyone. I visited this spa a few years ago on my birthday and had a wonderful facial. Later I tried to schedule another visit, but learned of the renovation so I waited until my birthday again, this past October 18 and scheduled a massagae, manicure and pedicure. I was mislead over the phone about the nails and what the person could do. Although disappointed, I went ahead and had the pedicure because I was hoping for a total spa day. The pedicure was way overpriced and I had to use my own polish because the selection was so bad. I could have done way better at one of the non-spa nail places. Afterwards, I was shown to the massage room and the massage was very nice. However, this is where the problem started. The massage therapist started talking about the benefits of using Latisse to grow my lashes and long story short, she totally misrepresented what the product could do and should be used for. Not knowing at the time, and believing she knew what she was talking about, I agreed to purchase the product and did so. I went home and researched the product online (as I would with any product) and learned that Latisse should only be purchased after a consultation with a doctor. Also, I learned that the product should never be used for bottom lashes--which is totally opposite of what the therapist told me. Bottom line is this business has no integrity in my opinion, because they have refused to give me a refund of $140 eventhough I have never opened the product and I made clear what my concerns were. I don't think the therapist was really authorized to sell it, but I'm finding that differenct states have different rules on that. What really disappointed me is that I've been trying to resolve this since October (it is now January) and the staff have simply stonewalled me with promises to call me back after speaking with the doctor about a refund, not returning messages left, and sometimes pretending they don't know what I'm talking about. This includes the person I was told was the manager. So, I don't plan to use them again and don't recommend that anyone do business with them--for any reason. REALLY BAD BUSINESS PRACTICES.

Jamachi is a wonderful spa located in the heart of downtown Silver Spring, Md. To be honest I was pulled into the spa because I had to have a torn ear-lobe repaired and the plastic surgeon on the premises, Dr. Onyewu came recommend by my family physician. Dr. Onyewu is part of a loving full service practice; and this love and full service extends to the Jamachi Spa. I have since received several treatments there from botox to massage. All of my treatments have been professionally delivered and everyone is always very courteous . The staff goes out of their way to accommodate my impossibly busy schedule and when you enter the office a variety of delicious refreshments are always available. I have severe muscle tension and Joel has been a wonderful find. However, there are men or women available to your preference. The spa also runs specials and are competitive with other spas in the area so if you are patronizing someplace like Massage Envy where you are rushed when you can get an appointment and mostly unable to make a appoinment and subject to crazy cancellation policies, I definitely recommend giving Jamachi a try. Why put up with all that crazy unprofessionalism when you can go to someplace that has competitive pricing and where they will treat you with curtsey and respect and take their time? And let me say again, where there is an actual board surgeon on hand. So give them a try, I'm sure you will have a good experience. In my opinion they're worth better than the rating they have here. Happy spa day!! read more

I was recently given a massage as a gift from a girlfriend. She booked my appointment with Nmaku. I had the massage with heat packs. I must say she is a gem! She was thorough with her technique and attention to my neck, shoulders and back as requested. I had such a stressful week. The Friday massage was just the thing to start me off to a relaxing weekend!! I will definitely rebook with her soon! read more

Discovered Jamachi Spa through the spa week special. Had a great massage but felt like a fried chicken smothered in grease when I was done but the experience was nice. Had a mani/pedi with April which was really awesome. Plan to go back for other services in the future. read more

This place is terrible. I've had nothing but bad experiences there. The first time I went I was kept waiting 45 minutes. The second time I went back only because I had a remaining balance on a gift card there. I had tried for months to go back so I could use my remaining balance before the expiration date, but they were shut down forever for renovations. I finally reached them and made a second appointment for January after they re-opened. When I arrived the second time there was nobody at the front desk. When I finally found someone, I was put with a male massage therapist even though when I made the appointment I had specifically requested a female and was told my appointment would be with Diana. They told me Diana was tied up at the DMV. Lame excuse if you ask me. Since the male was the only massage therapist on staff, I had to reschedule. Not very convenient when you're coming from Germantown all the way to downtown Silver Spring. I have yet to attend my rescheduled appointment. I wonder what will go wrong then....? read more
