I went twice when they opened and had really mediocre mani/pedis where either my daughter or I had…read moreto wait a long time, and then they rushed through and were not gentle at all. They were very agressive treatments. A few years passed and I thought I'd go to them just to have my gel polish removed, and they completely destroyed my nails. Used the dremel before and after the polish remover sat on my nails with foil, and the dremel completely shaved down my nails so thin and caused indentations at the base of my nails so now I have to wait a few months to have them grow out to my strong, nice nails again. Was really a huge bummer.

Khadija was out and her sister, Neezah gave me an upper lip, chin and Brazilian. The service I…read morereceived was excellent. I arrived 10 minutes early and she was ready to receive me. She welcomed me in and made me feel very comfortable. She was very gentle but thorough. I left very pleased with the services I received. The next time I am in the area I will definitely return.

I have followed Neza here from her previous Silver Spring, MD location and will continue to do so…read moreif she leaves this one! She is an expert at waxing and truly cares about skin. I have learned so much since coming to her that I was doing wrong and have been getting waxed for years. She taught me that I was over exfoliating and less is more basically. To think I would get Brazilians every 4 weeks when Neza has gotten me to a 6 week minimum schedule. I do believe this is all due to her skill and using both traditional wax and sugar. Not to mention she is such a sweetheart. I will keep making that drive for her! She is worth it!

I have to shout out the person who does my surgaring, Lynn, because she is truly amazing at what…read moreshe does! Her sugaring technique is chef's kiss -- super gentle, thorough, and she really takes her time to make sure everything is perfect. What I appreciate most is her attention to detail. After the sugaring is done, she will ask if it's okay to switch over to hard wax or tweezing to make sure everything is perfect. And she makes good product recommendations. Nothing ever feels rushed, and she makes the whole experience so comfortable and easy. You can tell she genuinely cares about her work and her clients. I also really enjoy that we can talk about life and our cats while the service is happening. This makes things way more comfortable. If you're looking for someone who provides consistently fantastic service and really gives great attention to detail, Lynn is it. Highly recommend!

Lalla Skincare is the only place I go to for waxing. This place is a hidden gem, tucked away in a…read moreresidential area in Arlington, which adds to the peacefulness of the experience. There are two parking spots out front, but I have never had an issue being able to park there. If the tiny parking lot were full, it's easy to find street parking nearby. I also appreciate that this is a women-only spa, overall it feels very private and safe. I've started booking appointments only with Maryam, as I appreciate her attention to detail and her kind, considerate approach to treatments. I haven't had other treatments here beyond facials and waxing so can't speak to the massages, etc., but I've been very pleased with these services for the last few years.

Consistently great service from multiple providers. Very clean, friendly, and responsive.read more

I usually go to the Reston EWC and always have great experiences, but my recent visit to the…read moreCourthouse location was very disappointing. The front desk associate was amazing -- so kind and professional -- but my waxer, Uka, provided one of the worst services I've had. She explained the wax wasn't cooling because the building was so hot, but the wax itself was way too hot and very uncomfortable. She didn't apply pressure after removing strips, which made it especially painful, and went over the same areas of skin more than four times. I've been getting waxes for over 10 years and have never had this type of reaction from my skin -- I left red, irritated, and sensitive for days, and even then not all of the hair was removed. Unfortunately, I would not recommend booking with Uka at this location.
