There I was; ascending up the stairs to my appointment. I'd opted for a sew-in w/ leave out and an…read moreorganic scalp wash experience. Listen, I can make this review absolutely ridiculous; and I intend to. However, I want to get down to the hot points: 1. Why is this the exact salon of my dreams? How yall do that? 2. Is it just me or do you feel love upon entry? 3. I know you ain't just lay a luxurious blanket upon my bodice while also sitting me in a massage chair. Laying special scrub and tea upon my scalp.. this is a sensory overload.. imma let you finish. 4. Why am I floating on cloud 9 after my hair wash? Do you need my money? 5. This salon is hitting on all cylinders and I'm overwhelmed with goodness. Please, don't stop serving me. 6. Now we in this braid down for the install and it's serious. Feels like a geometry class and someone is taking the AP course. Its getting technical. 7. Here we go with the major event.. The hair install and from the conversation, sour sop tea and overall authentic interaction; I'm feeling more cared for by the second. 8. Girl who made this tea and why aren't you selling this? 9. Consulting with me and asking pertinent questions gone make me fall in love... too late.. 10. Baby, you ain't have to cut my sew-in, tussle curl it and send me in my way like that. That was exceptional. Overall: I'm sitting on my couch, in my house, just 1 hr after leaving the salon. Bonnet on just how Ngina (my stylist) told me. There are so many things I can say. I already did above but to add good measure; this is an experience salon. A moment to give great pause and allow a fully staffed beauty team to treat you. The seamless care and consideration I got today made me feel elated to pay my bill. Do you need my money? I shall sleep and bask in these memories. I've already set my appointment for the end of the month. I'm missing you already.. Now, I know I didn't drop photos on you.. just know im serious about protecting my likeness. This place deserves all the acclaim that's coming their way. A full head to toe Beauty Service (hair, body, nails, toes, wax, sauna. I'm missing a few services. I'm sure of it. All that to say, ah yo go get taken care of. Arrive to a sensory, aromatic overload of goodness. Now, imma go to bed, floating on sunshine. Ngina, thank you for restoring so much within me in one hair style. Happy Birthday Sweet Darling and thank you for creating a space fit for me. ;

Blown away! I'd never been to or heard of this beautiful spa in Brentwood, but baybeeee, what a…read moregem! I booked a regular pedi and gel mani with Alayna. Had no idea what to expect. I received confirmations beforehand and the staff even checked to see if I needed anything else. LOVE. I get there and OMG. It's serene, clean, and a good-smelling machine. It smelled FIRE throughout. Not overwhelming but so pleasant. The decor was stunning. So pretty and luxurious. But really, the service? TUHHHH. INCREÍBLE. From the moment I walked in and was greeted by the women at the front desk, onward, every single employee who walked by or guided me from point A to point B was sooo kind. This is big for me: EVERYONE SPOKE. Anyone working here who crossed my line of vision SPOKE TO ME kindly and in a welcoming way. They do nails, hair, massages, all types of things - it's a wholeeee spa and the owner (obviously a Black woman and bosssssss) did her thing here. Now, as for my mani/pedi: also great. Haha. If you were expecting something different, I have nothing for you. Alayna did a fantastic job and took her time. They have Dazzle Dry! She was thorough and even made product recommendations for my feet since I do so much yoga. I can't wait to come back. It's so unsuspecting outside but the inside is incredible.

I am in DC temporarily for cancer treatment so I wanted to find a place to get my lashes done…read morebecause it's the one (vain) thing that makes me feel better right now. This place got good reviews so I booked an appointment at the Eastern Market location since it's near the place I'm staying. The night prior, they called and asked if I'd be willing to go to the Dupont Circle location instead so that the technician could fit in more appointments. It was annoying, but not a huge deal. I was getting lash removal & a new set of classic/hybrid lashes. I've been getting eyelash extensions for 13 years and this is by far the worst experience I've ever had. They were thin, whispy, pre-made fans that were poorly glued onto only some of my lashes. They started falling off almost immediately, and there were visible white clumps of glue that a friend pointed out because she thought I had crumbs on my eyes. One week later when I went to another eyelash studio, they couldn't even tell I had any extensions on until they put me under the lights. I would've been better off just curling my own lashes & using mascara because mine are thicker & longer than whatever they used. I've never had such poor quality.

And service happened to be prompt for everyone who came after me(lucky them, or, bad on Nails Etc staff). Also, if you can't communicate or understand what customers are saying, that gives rise to problems and a bad experience. Beyond that, the staff here aren't skilled manicurists/pedicurists when it comes to color. They do a good job with cleaning only. It's $35 for a mani pedi. I can't understand how this is a go-to spot for some people. I guess mediocre is good enough for them.

Are you ready for your world to change?…read more The only reason why I thought of not posting what I will say, is because I know this will get Magdalen more busy and man what will I do if I ever lose her? I don't know. But let me tell you a little bit more about the decision you are about to make. My first ever waxer relocated to a whole another state and I was lost for sometime. I tried to become a regular for European Wax but their service and work did not mix well with me. I am currently located at #AspenHills #Rockville and I started looking for waxers. Wanting to find a place that feels like home and a safe space to be reborn every other 4-6 weeks. When I found Magdalen's page, the reviews automatically got my attention and decided to book being that she was 13-15 min away. The BEST decision I've made all year. When you enter, this particular smell that its so deliciously delicate welcomes you. Warning, in the beginning you will be confused and nervous because her method is so different from what everyone else is doing. But trust me when I say that it's less painful and more effective. I have thick hair and it grows really fast but after my first visit with Magdalen I noticed about only 60% of my hair growing back. Which is crazy for the amount of hair I used to grow with the other waxer. She warned me about growing less hair and less pain but you just have to book for the experience and for finding a home. She cleans THROUGHLY... life changing. Her wisdom definitely outshines her years of experience and yes, you will look forward to seeing her every visit.

Magdalen is absolutely amazing! This was my very first time getting a Brazilian wax, and I was…read morehonestly so nervous walking in. I had read so many horror stories online about pain, irritation, even skin being removed so I was preparing myself for the worst. But from the moment I met Magdalen, she completely calmed my nerves. She's incredibly warm, professional, and downright hilarious, which made the experience so much easier to get through. She walked me through the process, made sure I was comfortable the entire time, and the best part she's fast without making you feel rushed. I didn't experience any of the nightmare scenarios I was bracing for. No pain, no trauma, and definitely no regrets. I left feeling smooth, confident, and honestly wondering why I didn't do this sooner . I'll definitely be back and recommending her to all my friends!

I was originally referred by a friend who had been going to her for years. As an Asian blonde, finding someone who can consistently get the color right without damage is incredibly hard, but Sally nails it every single time.

She knows exactly how to achieve the color while keeping my hair healthy. Posh salon is a very professional, well-organized business. Appointments are always on time, communication is clear, and the whole experience feels smooth and stress-free. She's warm, meticulous, and genuinely cares about her clients. She's often stayed late to finish my hair after hours. I can't recommend Sally and Posh salon enough. She's a gem!
