Chris coordinated all of my reservations and handled every detail seamlessly. They truly did not miss a beat. From the beautifully curated setup to the thoughtful touches--balloons, champagne, mimosas, strawberry lemonade, sparkling water, tea, and an incredible spread of light bites (charcuterie, vegetables, fruit, nuts, and strawberry shortcake)--everything was executed flawlessly. The experience felt incredibly exclusive, almost like I had the entire spa to myself and my guests. Antonio, the owner, greeted us personally and ensured we received white glove treatment from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. I genuinely felt like a queen celebrating such a special milestone. When I walked into the lounge and saw the setup, I was overwhelmed--in the best way. I actually cried. The robes, slippers, added seating, and overall décor were stunning. Every detail felt intentional and elevated. My massage with Brenda was phenomenal. She worked out tension I didn't even realize I was carrying, and her nurturing, calming energy made the experience even more special. I left feeling relaxed, cared for, and completely restored. I'll absolutely be booking with her again--and I'm already planning to return for a facial with Ruby. If you've ever considered celebrating your birthday--or any special occasion--this way, run, don't walk to Unwind Wellness. I would rate this experience a 1000 out of 10. You will be cared for, celebrated, and treated exceptionally well.

This place smells good from the outside before you even walk in. I felt relaxed the moment I walked in! We were greeted with a beautifully decorated sitting room overflowing with a delectable spread of a fruit and treats. My 60-minute massage was divine! I had Otelia and she has healing hands! I fell asleep at twice and didn't want to get up when it was over. The room was peaceful and serene, and the music was the perfect level. I highly recommend this place for all things!!

Visited the Salamander Spa with a good friend on a Tuesday afternoon in December. I'll start by…read moresaying that the booking process was pretty awful. I suspect they are either understaffed or...something...because my friend had to put in several phone calls when the online system was giving us the blues. Once we got over that hurdle, things were pretty smooth sailing. I received several confirmations in advance and when I arrived the day of there were no issues or complications. For a long while, we had the lounge relaxation area to ourselves. The snacks were water, tea, pretzel bites, wasabi peas, and some kind of unsalted nut mix. Not the best spread but I did have my share of pretzel bites. Our massage therapists arrived promptly and on the other side of our services (90 minute massage for her and 60 minute body exfoliation followed by a 60 minute massage for me) we were both incredibly relaxed. We didn't use the steam room, pool, or sauna but I'll be sure to check those out next time. The services are pricey but the facilities are nice and I wouldn't hesitate to return. Special shoutout to my massage therapist. Duane was my tech and...he did that! Very professional from beginning to end, and very good at what he does. When I was checking out, somehow I was nearly charged for both my services and my friends. I was in such a relaxed state that I didn't catch it but the staff fortunately did. All things considered, a lovely experience.

Check in at the gym front desk and head straight back through the door that says "Aura Spa." There's street and garage parking nearby and a metro only blocks away. 2) Price: For a 60-minute quality massage in a nice environment, it only cost $115 not including tip. For this area, that's not bad. 3) Experience: It was a great experience. They made sure you stay hydrated, don't make you wait, and don't talk to you during the massage so you can relax.

I see her for foot reflexology and personalized deep tissue massages (always 90 minutes, because 60 isn't enough time). She is incredibly talented and very sweet!

I actually took my best friend there for Christmas, and it was such a great time. It was so good that the following year I sent my mother-in-love for her birthday, and another year I surprised my wife with a visit for hers. They both had amazing things to say about their experiences. I'm definitely overdue for a return -- I can't wait to go back this year!

I haven't had a massage for a long time and decided to give this place a chance. I asked for a deep…read moretissue massage and paid for a deep tissue massage. The facility is lovely, wonderful ambiance. I went to a room that is for couples. I was disappointed that the massage was nothing like I've had before at other massage places. The man sat in a stool and applied a lot of oil, would slide his hands up and down my skin. Like a petting motion. The entire massage was like that. I didn't feel any different after the massage and found myself quite disappointed. I got an email from Origins reminding me to leave a review. I responded asking to speak to someone about my experience and after a week, no response. I proceeded to email the email address on the website and gave my feedback. No response after 3 weeks I didn't feel like that was a deep tissue massage. The gentleman was sitting on a chair for 90% of the massage. Maybe he had a long day already.

It was nice to seem to have the place to myself for a while before more people came in. This was also during the middle of the week, but by the time I left the spa was pretty packed. It's also cheaper during the week, and if you buy a student ticket. The facility is stunning, making you feel like you're in the tropics. The heated pools on the first level were the perfect start to the day. My muscles almost immediately felt looser and relaxed. The massagers were a nice touch as well, just the press of a button gets jets of water shooting at your back. They have smaller pools in the larger one with hotter temperatures, and there are 4 on the side along the wall as well with varying temperatures. I enjoyed all the saunas with their various health benefits. The bar offered different frozen CBD drinks and mocktails. Kelvin was the man! He made you feel right at home, and I like how you can sample the frozen drinks. I got the Mango Guava CBD water, which has the same amount of CBD as the frozen drinks for half the price. It was refreshing, delicious, all with zero sugar. For lunch, I ventured to the 2nd floor and ordered lemon pepper wings with a side of truffle fries. Of course there was an upcharge to get the truffle ones. It was nice and hot, and very filling. I enjoyed the aroma room, immersion room, and peeks my head in the multimedia room. There were also numerous areas to lounge and relax as well. The third floor was the rooftop bar and outdoor heated pools. If you're looking for a luxurious spa day, Balian Springs is the place to go.

Ive started to notice that people who like King's Spa dislike Balian Springs, and I am one of those…read morepeople. I like that King's Spa provided uniforms. At Balian Springs, you wear a "modest swimsuit" with an optional robe and they provide a towel as well that you carry between the spa. I think that the uniforms at Kings Spa keep things more sanitary. I also don't drink so the bar options at Balian Springs don't appeal to me. I did try the virgin sangria and it was a lot of sugar. The body scrub experiences are comparable. I have tried the Gold full body scrub and CBD full body scrub at King's Spa, and the K Scrub luxe at Balian springs. All three include the body scrub with an exfoliating glove, a wash, oil, massage and hair treatments if you want. The services are comparable in price between the two locations, ranging between $170-$220. Balian springs is definitely a larger spa space, and you can spread out, but there's pool right in the middle so naturally there's a lot more conversation. I prefer the quiet of King's spa, but at the end of the day, a spa is a luxury I hope more people can experience.

I loved my…read morefacial soo much that I returned to that location with my cousin and I purchased memberships for us. Attempting to make an appointment at that location, there was no availability. I made appointments for us at this location. We were able to get afternoon appointments for the date we selected. When that date rolled around, I was given a call about coming in earlier due to the parade that was supposed to be happening. (I won't mention who the parade was for). Once I mentioned we weren't locals, I was told whenever you get here we'll take you right back. We were greeted upon arrival and offered water. It was a short wait for our esthetician and our facials soon began. The one thing that I love is that my esthetician was black (every time we visit | even at the other location). I felt very much at ease and she really knew what she was doing. My facial was sooo relaxing and my skin came out feeling so refreshed. She really listened to what I needed for my skin. My cousin loved her facial and she looked really dewy and glowy afterwards. The young lady at the desk even gave her skincare product advice. We will definitely be back if DuPont Circle is not available. My only concern is when making the appointment, I had no way of letting them know that my cousin has her own membership, so they had to cancel her appointment and reschedule it under her own account. (I pay for both memberships!)
