Paris Alexander Day Spa exceeded my expectations. I had the oxygen facial with Ayana and she was absolutely amazing. My skin was glowing afterward to the point where I kept getting compliments. It was such a soothing and relaxing experience from start to finish. Ayana was professional, gentle, and explained every step along with the benefits of each part of the treatment. She also gave thoughtful recommendations that were perfect for my skin. I already booked my next facial because the experience was that good. read more

I wish I could give this place a 4.5 not just 4 stars. I truly enjoyed my birthday spa day at this day spa. I was gifted with their face and body combo. My first time going to a spa! Location: I had a little difficulty locating the spa but that was my own fault because of the area. It's located above a dog store called Doggie Style which threw me off. You have to go up the stairs and then choose the door on the left. The very kind receptionist was able to turn me back around to get to my appointment on time. Service: The face and body combo includes a facial, seaweed body wrap and massage. I upgraded the facial to a microdermabrasion. Paris did my face service and it turned out to be greatfor my skin. She was down to business, not too talkative but very kind. She was the one that looked at my chin and was able to let me know/confirm digestive issues. At that time I was dealing with food poisoning and it was showing up all on my face through the microscope (still irate with that vegan spot--see other review for that). My skin/face looks so good right now. I also had a massage and body scrub done by a lovely female massage therapist. I couldn't get the seaweed wrap because I have a shellfish allergy. I thoroughly enjoyed both services and she was amazing, I didn't want to get up. Price: so, this is the only reason I gave the spa 4 stars--I wish I could give 4.5 though. My friend was quoted a certain price and so was I when the appointment was booked. But apparently when my friend arrived to pick me up after my services, she was told a mistake was made in calculating the price and it would be significantly more. She was given a 10% discount for the mistake. I hate that this happened and would have preferred for the spa to stick with the price quoted to avoid surprising my friends with a much higher bill. Or I wish that the mistake would've been caught earlier - maybe when they were doing reminder calls or emails. I would suggest confirming the final price before your appointment. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and I will return to the spa for more massages and facials. It's a great spa with great employees. read more

I discovered this place a year ago when I first moved to DC and have not been disappointed yet! When I moved here from NY my skin behaved badly. I made an appointment with Paris, the owner, and told her my concerns. She analyzed my skin, made some recommendations, and gave me the best 90 minute facial I've ever had! I continued to go to Paris once a month for 7 months and my skin was velvety smooth and clean!!! I stopped going because I told myself I didn't need it. Boy o boy.... fast forward to today 6 months later and here I am with my misbehaving skin. Paris took one look at me and knew immediately what needed to happen to address my skin issues. She administered a mild peel and gave me an oxygen facial and vitamin C treatment. My skin is velvety smooth again and I've already scheduled my 6 week follow-up to continue treating my clogged pores. She is phenomenal and highly professional. My only issue here is the front desk staff isn't the best with the exception of Dana who is wonderful. I recommend the facials, body massages, and the products they offer here. Please book your facial today! read more

I went to Paris Alexander Day Spa on 9/17/20. I was at my wits end with my skin. Wearing a mask every day has wrecked havoc on my face and my hormones were all over the place. I had been struggling with cystic acne since July 2020 and none of my usual skin care remedies worked. With every pimple that went away, two more painful pimples would replace it. I shared my skincare journey with Paris and that I had a date coming up on Sunday and was open to her recommendations. Paris did a Vitamin A infusion treatment on my face and today, 3 days later, 9/20/20, I've seen a 75 percent improvement of my skin. The majority of the cystic acne has dried up and flattened. No new acne has formed. I'm elated! I should've made an appointment earlier! THANK YOU Paris for helping me with my skin! read more

I love this place. My mother and I have been coming for years and I think we've gotten almost every service here. I definitely recommend the Swedish deep tissue massage. The place is super clean and the staff is very experienced and welcoming. I feel like a brand new person when I leave. Much love! read more

Omgoshhh the absolute best. The woman at the desk was the sweetest!!! She made me and my bestie feel welcomed and celebrated. She truly went the extra mile and I really appreciate that. Both of us enjoyed our Swedish massages. I didn't fall asleep or anything but it was good. Next time I want to try the lomi lomi or A facial. Preferably both :) read more

BEWARE! Do not give your credit card information! This was my experience. I called with an inquiry a couple days ago, and the woman on the phone proceeded to pressure me into giving my credit card information in order to "lock in my appointment" to which I responded that I would have to call her back after speaking with my fiancé. (I was calling a few places and wanted to discuss the charges with my fiancé first bc I plan on having multiple sessions over the next few months until the wedding) - She then calls me back to tell me that she had "put me into the system anyway" explaining that it was a "placeholder" so that if I were to call back and confirm, the spot was held. Mind you, I told her that I would call back with my credit card info when I was ready. She then proceeds to call me the FOLLOWING SUNDAY saying that I owed them money. She then tried to go into a full blown chastising session about whether I "understood" why I have to pay them money. I felt very bullied and manipulated. She tried to strong arm the sale and employ less than honorable tactics to extract money for services NOT RENDERED. On top of this she was extremely disrespectful, full of attitude, and condescending. Quite frankly there are too many places in DC to choose from to gamble with this place. THANK GOD, I didn't give her my credit card information. A spa should be an expense women look forward to and should be treated with care and understanding from beginning to end. This place does not feel high end to me AT ALL. I will continue my search for a more professional and respectful establishment. read more

I was hooked after my first visit to the spa. The Gentleman's facial is A+ and the staff has always been professional and on time. It's DC, so of course parking can be an adventure, give yourself an extra 10 minutes to find a spot. read more

The best spa experience I've ever had - from the receptionist Janine to the Esthetician Ms. Paris - my face always felt amazing and clean - Ms. Paris cleared my acne and aided in me regaining my confidence - I love you Ms. Paris, see you soon!!! read more

Paris Alexander Day Spa is a quaint salon tucked inside a house. It's easy to miss as there's no ostentatious signage outside of the building. I was a bit thrown off by how tiny the salon was. It consists of a couple of treatment rooms, a bathroom, and a nail salon in the back. I even glimpsed what looked like a disheveled laundry room on my way to the restroom. The facial was standard. My esthetician (and owner of the spa) Paris wasn't chatty, which I liked because I don't like anything messing with my sense of zen when I'm at the spa. I was fine with all the products she applied to my skin except for the one that smelled like pine-scented household cleaner. I fell asleep during the facial and was awoken by the sound of someone entering the room and rifling through the drawer. I was completely annoyed by this. I give Paris Alexander Day Spa a 2.5. I got a decent facial, but my visit wasn't as relaxing as I'd hoped it would be. read more

Referred by a family member, I received a facial and massage combo. I was immediately greeted by the receptionist Dana when I arrived. She offered me tea and water while I waited and reading material. About 10 minutes before my facial was scheduled to start, I was ushered to my room. I changed into a robe and I was given time to relax before the services commenced. Paris (the owner) performed my facial and Gladys performed the massage. Both women were very professional and gave me excellent service. Paris focused on my problem areas and offered extraction and micro dermabrasion. The overall experience was quite nice. The spa is a relaxing nook in the middle of a busy city. You can tell it's a small business (which I prefer so I'm not just a number) with a devoted clientele (which means people like the service and employees). The price is also a selling point too - my spa combo was extremely reasonable. The location is easily accessible by metro and sits amongst restaurants, which is where I headed for lunch afterwards. read more

Paris provides amazing service and is a skin expert! I visited consistently for a year for facials and had amazing results. The services were unique to my concerns and her technique is unmatched. I can't wait to get back soon! read more

I took a chance on scheduling an appointment at Paris Alexander and it was the best! I had an issue with my shoulder. It was weeks and I still could not rotate it. I came to Paris Alexander Day Spa and the young masseuse that worked on me was amazing. The space is quaint and cozy with a very soothing and comfortable ambiance. I was able to meet the owner as well and she just topped off my experience. I can't wait until I am back in town to schedule another appointment. Thank you for the opportunity and the experience. read more

I received a facial here for a birthday present about a year ago. This is by far the best spa I have ever been to, the owner is very nice and attentive, she explained every step of the process and it was very relaxing. Her store was easily accessible and if I was someone who went to the spa regularly this would be my go-to location. read more

I booked a hot stone massage here as a birthday gift to myself. The shop is small, but well decorated. I filled out an intake form upon arrival (I was really glad they included a portion of the form that asked where I preferred to not be touched) and was then led to the back. I think my masseur's name was Benny. He was an older Black/African-American gentleman with glasses. I'd never had a massage done by a man, but he was the only one available for the day/time/service I booked, so I gave it shot. I ended up enjoying my treatment. He was friendly, checked frequently to make sure I was comfortable (definitely necessary for the hot stones), and described the whole process elaborately before and during service. I will definitely visit again read more

AMAZING!!!! One of the most relaxing experiences I have ever had. Ms. Paris is truly gifted and I cannot wait for my next appointment!

I Absolutely love Paris! I go to her faithfully for microdermabrasion facials. She really takes her time, and the experience is so relaxing. I'm usually sleeping like a baby by the time the service is done. read more

I love Paris Alexander Day Spa! I've been going there for years and they give the best facials! Paris takes her time and is very knowledgeable about different skin types. The products that she uses are also great. Highly recommend! read more

I highly recommend Joie, for the Body Conturing Lipo Caviation. Joie is extremely nice and she thoroughly educates you on the process. I am very comfortable and trust that the process is safe. It takes two: Lipo Caviation and you eating healthy, drinking water, exercising. Thanks Joie!!!! read more

Bennie did an amazing job on my massage today! Excellent, I highly recommend Bennie and also Paris for a facial! read more

I had the most amazing experience at the Paris Alexander Day Spa! I had the seaweed wrap, massage and facial package. It was $190 for and about 2.5 hours for the services. The staff was great. Scheduling online is convenient. Cards are accepted and street parking available. read more

I feel so spoiled and cared for when I visit Paris. She absolutely knows and loves her business. I've started going every 6 weeks for the first time in my life and really feel that my skin is appreciating the support. Always clean and on schedule. read more

Have had a couple really good facials here. Staff is friendly and polite. Paris is a pro. It's not super deluxe or anything but that's okay.

Decent. Quaint. Personable. Great staff. Wants to be seen as a high end spa yet lacked character & class. The massage therapist was really knowledgeable. I really dislike any place that suggest a tip. Why? Mrs. Receptionist?!? Would you have the audacity to suggest such? And then your snare. There should never be a required tip accordingly to the cost of the service. I tip in account to my pocketbook. Anyways I loved the fact that it's owned by an AA woman. But surely I'll never return due to the snare. read more

I was so happy that I came across this place because I was looking for a black owned business. After being come to this spa on and off for a few months. Everytime I leave, my skin is renewed and the esthetician is really good at dealing with my skin issues. Although I am not consist with skin care, the products have truly made a difference in my skin. My favorite product is the deep pore cleanser. read more

The first time I came here for a facial was about 20 years ago and when I came back to work everyone told me how much my skin was glowing. I still get compliments to this day after a facial from Paris Alexander, herself. With the soothing music and her relaxing voice, you are to fall asleep. I think it's about time to make another appointment for a facial. read more

Ms Paris knows skin! She never tries to upsell you and recommends treatments that work. I went to her when my winter moisturizers started to fail me and she recommended a product line perfect for my needs. I have recommended many people to her spa and the service is amazing. Benny is my favorite massage therapist and his lomi lomi massages are to die for- I would literally follow him anywhere... read more

I had a great facial. Paris is very knowledgeable and my skin looked much younger. I highly recommend this salon.

I wanted to get a facial near my new office, and wasn't sure where to go. Thankfully, Spa Week rolled around right on time. I did a search on the Spa Week website, and came up with this day spa. It was a little confusing -- Paris Alexander at Lillian Laurence?! Is that one spa or two? I know I had heard of Paris Alexander spa before, so even though I didn't really know what was going on, I went ahead and booked this appointment. Paris Alexander spa is in fact inside Lillian Laurence, Ltd. The two spas each have their own reception desk right next to each other. It turns out I wasn't imagining things -- Paris Alexander DID used to have its own space, over on 18th Street above the Candey Hardware store. But that building didn't renew their lease, and in an effort to stay in the area until they can find the perfect new location, Paris Alexander decided to rent space at Lillian Laurence. The situation here in this new space is cramped -- the room used for my facial had several tables in it, separated by folding screens. But the table was very comfortable, and as nice as any I've lain on. The equipment was definitely high-end, as were the products -- Sothys and G.M. Collin. Paris Alexander herself did my facial. I like her -- she's not chatty like some facialists. She was happy to answer my questions, but most of the time the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing. Her hands were sure, and the facial itself was perfectly competent -- thorough, with nothing unexpected. Plus, she gave me a great hand and arm massage while my masque was setting up. When we were done, she showed me a moisturizer she recommended for me, but there was no hard sell. I bought it because it felt great. She also gave me a goody bag with a magazine and some literature. Seeing as Paris Alexander is one block from my office, and that I know for sure she can give me a lovely facial in 50 minutes, I'm sure I will come back in the future. I'll keep my fingers crossed that she finds a suitable new space for her business that isn't too far away. read more

Horrific experience. Look at the pictures to see the wound Paris gave me! I went in for a facial. It didn't feel like she was extracting gunk up out of my pores - but rather, that she was pushing her fingers down into my skin, in the way that I would if I were squeezing zits myself - aka, pushing the gunk down even deeper. Afterwards, she and her staff member strongly encouraged me to buy a set of facial products - I should have just said no, so it's partially my fault, but I felt pressured. My face felt raw and irritated but I hoped it would look better the next day. Well, you can see the pictures I've posted of what my face looked like! Not only did my skin look terrible overall, but she took off a layer of skin on my chin and I had a huge red wound. When I called and told her receptionist what happened, she said she didn't know what they could do, as Paris was out on vacation. Finally the receptionist texted me to say they'd refund me, could provide me with a small trial sample of an antibiotic salve to help the damaged skin heal, and would schedule me for another appointment, "so Paris can try to make it better." It was very unprofessional - not only was she texting me (at one point she said "lol"!), but she also said that she could *maybe* bring the antibiotic salve to me, if she ended up going to see her friend that lived near me that night for dinner. Wouldn't you think she'd either commit to bringing it to me (sparing me the details of her personal life) or tell me I'd need to pick it up? I told her I'd come to get it, but that I didn't want Paris to touch my face again - and she said that in that case, if I wasn't going to continue seeing Paris, Paris wouldn't give me the salve! Obviously, I highly suggest you go elsewhere. read more
