I've had wonderful experiences here, and my most recent visit was with Master Esthetician Rochell, who did an exceptional job.

The special hours for groupon customers were totally unreasonable..so I will be getting a refund. Even if the hours were flexible I would have asked for a refund..I do not patronize businesses that are in the business of customer service who demonstrate POOR customer service. There are too many massage therapy businesses around to tolerate anything less than stellar service. UPDATE: Also she marked my Groupon as redeemed even though I never used it...tisk tisk.

Dr. Butler is a great massage therapist with a soothing and relaxing office. I learned about her…read morethrough an Amazon Local deal which was quite a bargain compared to others I've seen advertised. I then looked her up on Yelp and when I saw the good reviews I decided to buy the deal. I'm glad I did. She pointed things out during the massage that I've heard before from other therapists and understood from my own experience lifting weights w/o stretching. She convinced me to drink more water, especially during my workouts, and to stretch regularly which I now plan to do. I don't think I'll be able to quit the coffee though :) She ended the massage with some leg stretches which I appreciated. She was also very easy to talk to and professional the whole time. Since I have some work to do in the gym (not yet near my potential) she offered the contact information to a personal trainer she goes to herself. Dr. Butler also has an e-mail newsletter that offers deals on her various services. I recommend her practice for those looking for natural healing and relaxation remedies at an affordable price.

I was referred by a colleague whose nails always look gorgeous--she's been going to Jennifer for years, and now I see why. I'm so glad I came--I've officially found my new nail spot. A lot of reviews mention that the shop is slow. I wouldn't say slow--it's just busy. And honestly, a full shop with no room for walk-ins usually means they're doing something right. The quality, attention to detail, and affordable prices speak for themselves. For me, that's what matters most. Now that I know there may be a bit of a wait, I'll just plan ahead--bring my laptop or a book, knock a few things off my to-do list, and make good use of the time. Totally worth it. I'm already looking forward to coming back!

I also tried to open her website www.uniquexpspa.com but it was no longer working. I always try to support black-owned businesses and I tip well, but the way she ghosted me was unprofessional so even if her salon is open somewhere else, I won't be a new customer.

I recently drove by this nail salon and did a quick Google search to find that it opened last…read moreNovember. There are no reviews for this location which was concerning but I decided to give it a try yesterday. I called first to ask a few questions and was surprised to hear that a basic pedicure cost $45 when I'm used to paying no more than $30 here in SE DC but I decided to give it a try. I arrived and parked across the street in the Aldi since the parking lot looked full outside the nail salon. I went next door to Star Dominican Hair Salon as instructed on the phone since no one was inside the nail salon. I waited about 15 minutes inside a very loud hair salon with the TV and music blaring in Spanish which made me wonder if the nail salon was just as loud. I was about to leave when I was instructed by the owner, Natalie, to go next door to House of Nails for my service. Its a very nice looking nail salon with only 4 chairs, 2 of which still had water in the basins. The Spanish employee who directed me to sit was very loudly talking on her cell phone. The black lady nail technician came out and greeted me but the Spanish lady proceeded to manually remove the water from the chair basin next to me and then mopping the area while singing loudly in Spanish which was not relaxing to me at all. The nail technician was a nice black lady named Davita who told me that the owner was also black which was a nice surprise since I try to supprt black owned businesses whenever possible. Davita took her time and did a good job, however some of the tools she used were rather sharp and she hurt one of my big toes which was my fault because she did ask if I was ok and I said yes. My big toe still hurts today. I did let Davita know that I found the Spanish lady too loud and that people like me come to nail salons for a relaxing experience and she said she would talk to the Spanish lady. Davita also mentioned that the massage jets in the basins don't work when the plastic liners are in them which I found strange especially since the massage jets work with liners at the Asian nail salons I've been to. To make up for the jets not working, Davita gave me a good foot massage. Half way thru my pedicure, I had to ask for something to drink and Davita apologized for the oversight and offered me white wine or water and I chose white wine. She said they normally have red wine but were out. I enjoyed the wine in a beautiful crystal glass flute and was graciously given a second glass; however, it fell out the cup holder attached to the massage chair and shattered all over the floor and got a little white wine on my leather purse and sandals. They have a small but nice selection of colors. They also do waxing so I upgraded my service to include waxing of my toes and Davita did a good hair removal job but she left some wax on my toes which stuck to my sandals and later my bed sheets. I also had to go next door to the hair salon for my toe waxing in front of everyone which was not as private as I'm used to but Davita said eventually they'll have waxing at the nail salon. Although I found the experience loud and chaotic, meeting Davita was the best part and I will go back if the owner makes a few changes. First, they should have signs posted in the nail salon for staff and customers not to talk loudly on their cell phones. Second, they should use break-resistant glasses or acrylic glasses that look like real glass (no plastic). Third, they should get the massage jets fixed to enhance the spa experience. I look forward to the owner's response to my review.

He doesn't massage like a new graduate but a seasoned professional. I normally have my massage with Shadonne, but I never doubted his skills because Shadonne only hires the best of the best. Most of my pain is from driving and thus the front of my shins hurt and most recently, I have experienced stabbing pain in the middle of the night. He took care of that pain so much so that I actually for the first time in a long time I actually slept through the night pain free. I have had SEVERAL massages in my life - maybe about 2000 where probably close to half were with men. I have no preference as long as they are quiet, have proper pressure and good techniques. But for the first time in my experience, respectfully and professionally James left the room when it was time for me to turn over. I thought that was so kind and made what could for some women an potentially awkward situation not awkward at all. Thank you James. You'll do well.
