    As a DC native, The Still Point adds value to the Takoma community. It's the perfect place to escape from the hustle of "what do you do?"

    Overall I had a decent first visit to this location. The spa is easy to find using GPS. There are a few parking spaces in the back. The front desk service is nice. There's a small shopping area to purchase trinkets, jewelry, home and body care items. For snacks there are biscoff cookies and citrus water. The sitting area is cute. The lights are dim and there is a variety of seating options. The area is decorated like a comfortable home with two sitting areas. While waiting you can hear the footsteps on the wood floors and lots of movement above. I had concerns that I would hear outside noise and the wood floors creaking during my massage but I was pleasantly surprised at how sound proof the room was. My masseuse was ok - the energy was a bit off and the massage itself was ok. I came here to try a different location due to my usual massage therapist at a different spa is on maternity leave. I may come back to this spa but ask for a different masseuse.

    This was my first visit to the spa. Upon entering, the soothing aroma and calm atmosphere were immediately inviting. However, the receptionist with blonde braids was not very friendly; her welcome felt rather perfunctory, especially for a first-time visitor. Despite this, the spa offers slippers, cubbies for your belongings, and a pleasant waiting area with water, tea, nuts, and biscuits. Conrad, my therapist, provided excellent service--he was attentive, listened well, and was a pleasure to interact with. The experience was great, with reasonable prices and a selection of oils, stones, jewelry, and body products available for purchase. Overall, it was a wonderful day for relaxation and a great massage.

    I went today for the first time! I received a gift certificate for my birthday and was able to finally put it to use on my off day. The services I got were the 60 min facial Jojolin & 30 min full body Massage with Ben. They both were amazing and professionals at what they do. My skin feels so smooth and refreshed. Ben definitely found all the tense areas on my body and got rid of them. Next time I will get a 60 min massage. I cant wait to return.

    my favorite spa in the DMV. Every practitioner is a pro, the space is lovely and quiet and the Promise Program makes self-care simple.

I don't know any of the therapists so I let the system choose mine for me. I arrived 15 mins before my appointment time as most places want you to chill out with a cup of tea and some relaxing music before your massage. No dice. The (kinda rundown) building has a janky call box to let you in and you can't hear I'd and when someone answers to buzz you in. Another person came in with me and told me how creepy the building was - the floor she got off on was barely half lit. I get to the floor of the place and it was stinky and dimly lit too. I find the door - it's locked - and I knock. No one is there. It's late morning not first thing in the day. So I call the place and a guy answers but sounds like I bothered him - tells me that he's working remotely and will call my therapist. Then calls me to tell me she's in her way. She arrives just after when my appointment was to start. So now I'm a bit worked up but also weirdly nervous because the whole thing was so off putting. Therapist was curt and arrived with a child. I nearly changed my mind and left but decided to stay went with it. Since no one was there nothing was prepared. Cold table - warmer not on. No music, no ambiance. No offer of a drink before. Just a lot of turning on computers and lights. I don't want to be there for that when I'm there for pure relaxation. The massage itself was decidedly fine. Not terrible but definitely not the best I've experienced by any measure. It was matter of fact with no consultation really. Just business and done. I wasn't impressed. This isn't the experience I'd ever want someone else to spend their hard earned money on for some relaxation. There are comparably priced places where you'd get the full experience of a spa relaxation. Go there.

I walked up to the door and it was locked (I think only on Sundays), after re-reading my email about using some code to unlock the door I tried to use the key pad it ended up dialing for someone. As I was calling the office, Tyler my masseuse walked out to open the door. He was very polite and friendly. He led me to the office to fill out a form. I used the bathroom quickly it was small but they really tried to make it nice for customers. I also asked if the facial that came with the package, could be skipped since I didnt want to wipe off the makeup he was flexible about replacing that with a longer massage. My massage included hot stone but there was not quite a prepared flow instead he focused on the problematic areas that I pointed out in the form. I also told him that I pulled the area below my shoulder blade the night before he suggested to massage the psoas which was overworked because I use the pilates reformer everyday. He took some time to massage and relax the area. After the massage the remaining soreness around the shoulder blade was eliminated. I enjoyed their innovative focus on muscles that were not traditionally massaged or paid attention to. The masseuse was knowledgeable, patient and listened to customer's needs. I would definitely go back again.

I contacted The Spa Room on the same day I purchased the Groupon and was told by Mary they didn't have any weekend availability, and asked if I would like to come in during the week instead. I again reiterated I purchased a weekend slot, and Mary replied that if I didn't want to come in during the week, I should contact Groupon and cancel. I pointed out that the weekend deal was still available on Groupon, and she stated something to the effect 'that's Groupon's problem, not mine' After several email trying to work something out, I contacted Groupon and let them know the circumstances and they refunded my money. The Groupon rep also stated they will be contacting the business to see what the issue is since the posting is still up for weekend classes, but obviously they are not able to deliver. After reading other reviews stating how bad the massage class is, I am glad I was able to get my money back!
