I love this place! I waited a minute (A few years) to post a review because I use to work there (Felt like it was a conflict of interest). Eyebrows on fleek! Brazilian as painless as they can make it. Laser Underarms amazing! When it comes to customer service they go all out. I honestly do recommend this place when people ask me to get their eyebrows done. Every last person has loved it. Worth it!

I had three sessions of laser hair removal here, and then they burned both of my legs. See attached photos. Their NY office reached out to me after the appt and first tried to blame it on sun exposure (I had not had any), then asked if I smoked weed (I do not and fail to see how this is relevant. I saw a nurse practitioner that prescribed a burn medication. She told me she was previously a laser technician and they would have had to use an extremely unsafe setting to produce this level of burn. These burns/scars lasted a year. I would highly recommend going to Laser Away. It was slightly more expensive but definitely worth the extra money to achieve good results, and to have a safe experience that doesn't leave you with extremely painful and long lasting burns.

I loved this place! I came here during the Yelp's Summer of Self-Care event. I scheduled a down-there wax with Suni for 7:30. Driving into DC is usually painful, so I overestimated traffic and got there over an hour early. The front desk staff was accommodating and scheduled an earlier appointment for me. Suni did my wax. She was very polite and warned me every time she was about to do something. She answered all of my questions and made me comfortable. Most importantly, she was gentle. Her services were quick and painless. I have sensitive skin, but had no negative reactions to the products, and I love the results. After the appointment I asked the front desk staff, particularly Kiara, a lot of questions about other services. She was able to answer my questions and recommended a wax and laser hair removal consultation appointment in one. Shobha also has package deals, which is sweet. The staff was great, the venue was clean, and I found ample meter parking close by. Glad I was recommended to visit! *Update* After seeing the reviews of others, I'd like to note that there is a no period policy. This did not bother me, but it is an important note. While others experienced being wiped to check, it is my experience that I was being pre-sanitized. I don't discredit other reviewers, just wanted to share my experience :-)

Came here for a yelp elite event! This place is by far one of the best places to get sugared in dc! Extremely painless and the staff is all very friendly! They have the option of laser, sugar, or wax for many areas of the body to choose from!

I can't say enough great things about Ritual by Tracy Holzman NP-C. Tracy is incredibly…read moreknowledgeable and professional, and you can really tell how experienced she is as a medical provider. She takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, and her understanding of anatomy and facial structure makes you feel completely confident in her care and recommendations. What I appreciate most is that she truly cares about her patients and clients and never makes you feel rushed. She provides honest counseling and guidance for every service, and you can tell she genuinely wants the best results for you. I've had multiple treatments done, from skin tightening to other skincare services, and I've loved every experience. Viktorija is wonderful as well -- an integral member of the team. Ritual's skincare line is amazing, and I'm especially obsessed with the SPF Tracy developed called Throwing Shade. It feels incredible on the skin and has become a daily staple for me. Highly recommend Ritual by Tracy Holzman NP-C if you're looking for someone skilled at helping you look and feel your best, trustworthy, and truly passionate about what they do. Thank you so much to her team!

I'm in the midst of finding my new "home" for skin and beauty needs, after an esthetician that I…read moreloved moved out of the area. So after reading the reviews for Ritual and following them on social for a few months, I decided to book at appointment for a peel with Victoria. The business suite is located within a much bigger building and upon getting off the elevator on the 8th floor, it was clear to me that many of the surrounding suites include other medical professionals. Upon entry, you'll notice the clinic is pristine and elegant, while also feeling warm and welcoming. Cayla, the patient coordinator at the check-in desk was bubbly and genuine - as a first time visitor, that initial impression means a lot. No pretense, no standoffishness - just a desire to help you to get settled in. I was then taken to the waiting area which was also clean and comfortable, with a few refreshments that are available for guests. Luckily for me, I was only in there for a few minutes before Victoria came to get me. We took a few pics and then headed into the room for my appointment. The room felt very much like a room you may be in for a doctor's appointment - very sterile, bright lights - which of course is a good sign. I then chatted with Victoria about my concerns and needs. She was a great listener as well as a proactive communicator, always educating me as she made suggestions or talked with me about options. It's evident that her top concern is the patient's health and well-being first and foremost, which then guides her recommendations. With the additional knowledge and context she provides, it's impossible not to feel well taken care of, in the hands of a responsible and professional provider. I was also very appreciative of her care and awareness of what treatments would be best for my type of skin, educating me about the Fitzpatrick scale (which I had taken time to educate myself briefly about on my own, but had never had a provider articulate with such mindfulness.) She also was able to balance that professionalism with warmth - which is a rare combination to find. Her ability to make you feel comfortable seems to come naturally and really makes the whole experience not only impactful but enjoyable. It's also evident that she carries a wealth of knowledge and is confident about that (without being condescending.) Overall, very impressed with the business and grateful for Victoria's care. Will definitely be returning in the near future to explore other treatments that will be good investments in my overall skin health and integrity.
