We just moved to Alexandria so we wanted to check out what this is like in case we want to come back. Our spa pass included a mimosa and access to their outdoor pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, and relaxation lounges. There were also snacks and teas in the lounges. They also provide you with a locker, sandals, and a robe, and all the towels you'd ever need. The outdoor pool was fairly small but there were several places to sit outside with umbrellas so we enjoyed our time there with the view. The sauna was like the saunas in most gyms so I didn't spend much time there but I enjoyed the steam room for sure. The only reason I'm docking a star is that I don't think the spa pass was worth the $100pp it would have been normally, as the amenities were pretty standard and the women's locker room was pretty small. It def makes sense being in the MGM resort and can be great for guests but I'd rather spend my money at a standalone spa like King Spa that had more unique offerings. Still was a great day though and great to know this is right there in case we wanted to come back or try a massage etc.

I had somewhere to be, so I had to leave without being seen at all. I understand offices get backed up, but there was no communication, no heads up, no offer to reschedule me as a priority. I just sat there with no idea how much longer it would actually be. A simple "we're running significantly behind, here's the wait time" would have gone a long way. I won't be back.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this office. It came highly recommended by a…read morefriend, and I had been receiving a series of hair injections, with my final treatment (the third in the series) already scheduled. Unfortunately, while driving to my appointment, I received a call informing me that it had been canceled due to weather--this was a week after the recent snowstorm. If the office anticipated canceling appointments, I believe patients should have been notified at least the day before, not while en route. I actually received the cancellation notice as I was parking in the garage. What was even more disappointing was the lack of follow-up. After attempting to reschedule, no one from the office reached out as a courtesy to assist with booking a new appointment or address the inconvenience. The lack of communication and consideration was very frustrating. Based on this experience, I will be seeking treatment elsewhere.

Nice, but definitely a little predatory. Beware of how easily upcharges are introduced, especially…read moreif you're not familiar with how this spa structures its services. This may not be the place for you if you struggle with boundaries or are used to full-body treatments that include things like a scalp massage or comfort elements as part of the service. With the Relache Spa, everything is an "enhancement" and the technician is skilled enough to say it in a way that sounds more like a courtesy than an add-on. I scheduled my appointment with ZERO enhancements. For example, during my massage, the technician asked, "Would you like me to massage your scalp as well?" As a Black woman with various hairstyles, this is typically framed as a courtesy or optional comfort check--not an upsell--so I did not interpret this as an added charge. Similarly, during my scrub treatment, the technician mentioned how cold the room can get and said they sometimes place an eye mask on guests to help keep the body warm. In my very drowsy, sleep-deprived state, I assumed this was part of the service and meant to help--not another enhancement being added to my bill. The staff was polite and professional, but you'll need to be very alert and firm to avoid unexpected charges. Beautiful views and good champagne tho!

I've had prior experiences at different places that tinted them way too dark, almost black, as well as tinted way too light that you couldn't even tell I had anything done to them at all. During my appointment I informed Natalia of this and she said she knew exactly what to do. She explained that light brown would be too light for me and dark brown can appear black sometimes, especially with my skin/hair. She explained that she would mix colors and come up with something that worked for me. And she nailed it!! A true expert, I absolutely recommend her!

I went into this procedure expecting a smoother, more refined final result, especially by the…read moreone-year mark. While there was improvement in the overall shape of my arm compared to before surgery, the outcome still feels unfinished. The biggest issue is the scarring. At a year out, it's still very visible dark in color and somewhat raised in areas. I expected more fading and blending by now. The surrounding skin also has uneven pigmentation and texture that hasn't fully resolved, which makes the area stand out more than I'd like. From a contour standpoint, there's improvement, but not the tight, clean look I was hoping for. There's still some softness and lack of definition in parts of the arm that I thought would be addressed with the procedure. To be fair, this isn't a disastrous result, but it's also not a "wow" outcome. It feels like I got about 50% of the result I expected, and the remaining 50% mainly scar appearance and skin quality was never fully addressed or managed. If you're considering this procedure, I'd strongly recommend having a very detailed conversation about scar management, realistic outcomes, and what follow-up treatments might be needed to get a more polished result. I think I would have benefited from more guidance and a clearer plan for the healing phase beyond the initial surgery. Overall: noticeable improvement, but not as refined or complete as expected a year later.

She is extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, and caring, and she always made me feel safe and well supported throughout the entire process. It has been about three months since my surgery in October, and I truly love how I look when I see myself in the mirror. For a long time, I did not recognize myself and it made me feel sad. I avoided photos and never felt comfortable being photographed, even with my daughter and granddaughter. Now I feel like myself again. I feel beautiful, confident, and at ease, and I no longer feel the need to hide or fix my face or neck in photos. Dr. Costeloe gave me back my sense of self, and I am deeply grateful to her. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone considering facial surgery.
