I'm coming back next Saturday for a massage and will be back next month for another facial. I want to stop wearing makeup and if my skin always looks this great, that will totally be possible! I also love that she did not try to sell anything to me. And they have the best table with raised arms and it's roomy. Some of those massage tables are so narrow but this was comfy and I didn't worry about falling out of it!

Pretty good experience - a little on the fence…read more I was presented a gift card to the Sugar House Day Spa and Salon. It had been some time since I received a massage, so I was looking forward to this visit! There is a parking garage conveniently located next to the spa, so that was great. The staff at the entrance promptly greeted me and asked if it was my first time. The process of checking in and getting around was simplified by them taking the time to walk me where I needed to go rather than just telling me, which was appreciated. I was walked to the area where I changed into a robe and was subsequently accompanied to the massage area. Unfortunately for me, there were a lot of stairs, something that my knee and foot surgeries did not appreciate. It was a little awkward to sit in a small, public waiting area wearing a robe but it's a minor sacrifice. I had a massage with Audrey, who was very nice and professional. I appreciated that she took the time to ask me about my concern areas and my goals for the massage. The massage itself was good, though I unfairly compare massages to my former therapist who was exceptional. Audrey was very communicative and, even for someone who finds it difficult to relax, it was a good experience. Overall, The Sugar House Day Spa is worth a visit - it's also worth purchasing a gift card for someone. They will appreciate it! (NOTE: you can use the funds from the gift card to supplement a tip)

She loved it. Monique was her manicurist for many years. I've done countless pickups for both her and my daughters at this place and she spent lots of money here. My money, lol. Services are definitely unique to the individual providing them so I would definitely judge accordingly. She always got the mani/pedi combo from Monique - until she left. Good business, but consistency is variable.

I can't rave enough about Pure Aesthetica. I've gotten facials at 2 other places in the local area…read morebut found the places just lacking and quite frankly, the prices are too expensive. I found Pure Aesthetica by doing a pot of research to make sure they use products that don't irritate my skin. Came here before the pandemic and during the pandemic. Their protocols during the pandemic was appreciated and I'm so happy they took precautions because it made me feel confident in going especially that I was desperate. I had some major maskne issues that really needed to be addressed. Tiffany always does my facials and she's great. She tailors the facial according to your needs. I always get the regular 3 in 1 facial. My favorite is the micro current and the oxygen afterwards. It just makes my face so nice, subtle, and soft. Been coming here for about 2 years now and counting! They have specials for new customers so check that out if you're interested in trying. They also get booked very quickly so make sure to book way in advance. Prices are affordable in my opinion. Other places charge over $200 for a facial which does not even include micro current or oxygen or microdermabrasion. The 3 in 1 is so affordable and is about an hour. This is the best quality of facial for your money. Plus staff is fully vaccinated!

After a crazy week of work, I decided to play hookie on Friday and take a me day. I arrived on time and lucked up with 2 hr street parking on Madison. This spa is located in Old Town Alexandria so parking can be tricky. Anyhoo it's in the same building as One Life Fitness. Very easy to find. Not too many amenities to enjoy before being serviced and a very small restroom/changing area. Literally 1 toilet and 2 showers. The entire spa was really small. I felt bad like I was cheating on my regular masseuse. LOL but this was a gift! So I guess I can make an exception ;) My service was with Suzy. I opted for the 50 min hot stone massage and I did inform Suzy that I wanted a full body reset and gave her the green light to really apply pressure and dig deep into my massage. Deep tissue, full body massage!!! Susy was a little too gentle with me lol my massage felt more like a body rub with hot stones. Anyhoo! Very sweet place- just not for me. Happy Yelping!

From the moment I walked in, the staff make me feel welcome and comfortable. The ambiance is clean and calming, with some hot tea available in the lobby.

After each session, my skin feels soft and hydrated. I always leave feeling pampered and glowing!

I was specifically looking for skilled Licensed Massage Therapists, and their setup looked promising. I booked a 75-minute therapeutic session with Tatiana and it was far beyond "good." It was easily one of the best and most effective massages I've ever had! As someone who is knowledgeable about proper technique and tends to be quite critical, I was thoroughly impressed. Tatiana is simply amazing, and my only regret was not booking a full two hours! Tip for first-timers: The building is set back from Duke Street and isn't directly visible from the road, so give yourself a few extra minutes to find it. It is well worth checking out, and I will definitely be booking a 2-hour session with Tatiana on my next visit.
