BEWARE -- gift cards from this vendor expire after three months! I was so disappointed about this,…read moreas I lost access to a $150 gift card that I was saving for a special occasion to treat myself :( Every other facial gift card I've received gives you unlimited time to use it, since it shouldn't matter when you go if you've already paid hundreds of dollars for a service. The expiry is written in small letters on the gift card, but since I've never seen an expiration date on something so expensive, I didn't even think to check. I obviously cannot speak for the services themselves, as I wasn't given the opportunity to use what was already paid for. And that means the vendor just got to pocket the money without providing the service already paid for -- which is super bad taste. It's up to the person receiving the gift card when they can make time to use it, and makes zero difference on the vendor side for when someone can utilize a gift card. Hopefully, the vendor can take this feedback to improve their treatment of future clients.

She sets the vibe with a relaxing playlist curated personally by Maraki. The intimate ambiance is very clean, refreshing and sanitized.

Her expertise and techniques are unmatched, as I have had been getting facials since I was a pre-teen from High-end Forbes rated Spas, LA Medspas, local owned wellness centers, and boutique facial spas around the World.

I could keep going, however, I will conclude with this... if you live in the Washington DC metropolitan area and don't give Maraki of Skin In the Game at least one visit... your skin does NOT stand a chance in this GAME against the harsh winter elements and dry heat or the humidity of the vibrant summer nights... I urge you to put my words to the test... as I can assure you the experience will leave you glowing and speechless... and all smiles!

I signed up for the consultation online and received a text almost immediately to schedule it. My appointment was scheduled at 12:30 with Stephanie. The day of my appointment I received a text asking if I could postpone until 1:30, which I was able to. This location is in Muddy Branch Square. It is in the same center as Giant Food, First Watch, Starbucks, and Paisanos. Upon entering, I was greeted by Stephanie, who was sitting at the receptionist desk. She asked if I wanted any water. Then she brought me back to a room where she explained laser removal, shared a few before and after photos and went over the price packages. Milan uses Candela Gentle Max Pro and they have a seal. What sets them apart from other practices is that although their packages are expensive, they offer a lifetime guarantee so the price for touchups is included for life. You can visit any of their locations nationwide and they will have your record on file. I really liked their model, however, I couldn't get over the price. It was way more than I was expecting. For the Brazilian, their cost is $8,568 and with their current 50% off promotion it brought it down to $5,998. When I had this procedure done many years ago at another practice, I vaguely recall it was around $1,000. As much as I loved the exceptional customer service and that they offer a lifetime guarantee, I could not bring myself to pay this much. So I am likely going to look at other practices. Stephanie was very professional, personable, bubbly, funny and just a pleasure to talk to. Despite leaving the consultation without purchasing a package, Stephanie was still warm and bubbly, and even opened the door when I left the practice. She is the epitome of exceptional customer service! If money is not a concern and you're not frugal like me, I highly recommend this practice. Just remember, you get what you pay for.

Sales pitch is misleading and time consuming. While the actual staff was friendly, a lot of time…read morewas wasted in getting a simple price. They make you come in for a consult for pricing, even though they don't examine the actual area at all. The estimate could have been a quick 30 second phone call, since it's not personalized to each body and pricing is just based on what area(s) you are treating. Since I was under the assumption that the point of an in person appointment was to examine the area, I even asked on the phone if it was fine my hair was waxed/shaven, as I wasn't sure if they would need to see the hair grown out to determine how many sessions, or any side effects/special circumstances, etc. They said it didn't matter, which I found kind of odd, but assumed they may be able to tell with equipment or just visually looking at the pores/follicles. Essentially all you're getting in person is a 30 min powerpoint presentation just for them to present to you a pre-determined price at the end. Unless the person I spoke with has no common sense, there's no way she didn't understand that I thought there would be a physical evaluation, based on the questions I asked. In comparison, I've called 3 other places for hair removal estimates, and all of them gave me pricing immediately on the phone within a few minutes. Save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere unless you really like their unlimited/lifetime membership. For anyone curious, the estimate I was quoted was $4,000 (60% off from their "regular" price), which is THOUSANDS over any competitor I spoke with (I did my screening, looked for comparable lasers for what Milan uses, read reviews to make sure techs were qualified and didn't cause any burns, injuries, etc). Even if you had to go back 20 more times to another place, you'd probably still be saving over $1,000 easily.

I went to Drip IV in Reston because I couldn't get a same-day appointment at Prime IV (also in…read moreReston), where I've had great experiences in the past. The staff at Drip IV were very nice, but I had significant issues with the service. For the same price I've paid elsewhere, my IV drip lasted only about 20-25 minutes. In my prior experiences, IV treatments typically last closer to 45 minutes, which made this feel rushed and less substantial. I was also surprised by a $25 physician consult fee for a phone call that lasted less than three minutes, during which I was simply asked if I had any drug allergies. The physician was not onsite, I did not request a consult, and I was not given a choice in the matter. This fee was not disclosed upfront. I've had IV drips at least four times with two other providers and have never been charged a physician consult fee or encountered undisclosed add-on charges. Between the shorter treatment time and the unexpected fee, I won't be returning. UPDATE on 1/2/2026: I am updating my review from two stars to one star. A few days ago, I left a detailed review explaining my disappointment with the IV amount provided and the undisclosed $25 "doctor consultation" fee and small IV bag. The business owner publicly responded, asking me to contact the business so the situation could be "rectified." I called in good faith. The call itself was frustrating and unproductive. The receptionist initially had no idea what I was referring to, then reviewed my Google post and asked, "What's the problem?"--despite the fact that my original review clearly outlined my concerns in detail. I was also told, unsolicited, that the consultation fee could not be refunded, even though I never asked for a refund. I called only because the business asked me to. After that call, the owner, Erica White, subsequently contacted me directly. During that conversation, she stated she would be willing to issue a refund only if I agreed to take down my original review. She also offered a complimentary 1-liter IV bag if I removed the review. I absolutely refused. I do not engage in quid pro quo arrangements, especially when it involves suppressing honest consumer feedback. This confirmed for me that the original public response was performative rather than genuine. The business already had my full contact information from intake (phone number, email, and home address) and could have reached out directly at any time. Given how this situation was handled--and the pressure to remove an honest review--I am deeply concerned about how this business is being run, particularly by owners who are not licensed healthcare professionals (neither a nurse nor a physician). STAY AWAY. I would not allow anyone at DripBar Reston to touch me again.
