Coming from Northwest DC
Crossing from Northwest DC into Chevy Chase is short in distance and occasionally long in traffic, depending on the hour and the avenue. The Red Line is often the more predictable option.
People book from across a wide stretch of the District here, so we do not assume a typical visit. What matters more than where you set off is how much of the day you can give it.
Book a HydraFacialWhat it does and does not do
One 80-minute appointment: cleanse, exfoliate, extract, hydrate. Skin usually looks brighter immediately and can be slightly pink for an hour.
The effect is real and it is temporary. Anyone describing a single facial as a lasting fix for texture or tone is overselling it, and we would rather you heard that before booking.
Days, not months
The effect is real and temporary. Anyone promising otherwise is overselling.

Good to know
Booking from Northwest DC
Drive or Metro?
Either works. Metro is often more predictable at peak times; allow for the walk at our end.
How long does the result last?
Days to a couple of weeks for most people, depending on skin and routine. It is not permanent, and nobody should tell you otherwise.
Should I book a course?
Not at the first appointment. See how your skin responds once, then decide with the provider.
If I drive, where do I park?
There is parking on site. From Northwest DC the drive is short outside the peaks; between four and seven the Metro is usually quicker door to door.
Which Metro line and how long is the walk?
The Red Line to Friendship Heights, then a short walk. Allow ten minutes more than the app suggests if you are changing lines.
Does the time of year change how often I should come?
Your skin in February is not your skin in August, and your provider will say if the interval should change with it.
Is a course better value than single appointments?
Sometimes. Have one appointment first so the recommendation is based on how your skin responded rather than on a package bought in advance.
How far apart should appointments in a course sit?
Your provider will say, and the interval depends on your skin. It is not a fixed number and should not be treated as one.
Can I pause a course and come back?
Ask when you book so you know the terms before paying for several appointments rather than after.
Do you have evening appointments?
The later slots exist and go first. The booking page shows what is genuinely free.
Is it quieter on a weekday morning?
Yes, and appointments run closest to time then. If you would rather not be waiting, that is the window.
Can I book online while I am on the Metro?
You can book online any time, though a slot in the next hour is unlikely to be free. The day before is the reliable approach.
What should I do about make-up if I am coming from the office?
Nothing. Cleansing is part of the appointment; arrive as you are.
What if I want to change what I booked?
Say so at the start. Changing before the appointment begins is straightforward; changing partway through is not.
Do you take walk-ins?
Not reliably. The diary is usually booked ahead, so a walk-in is a wasted journey more often than not.
Is there a cancellation window?
Ask when you book. Knowing it before you need it is more useful than reading it afterwards.
Can two people book at the same time?
Ask when you book — same-window appointments depend on who is working that day.
Will my skin be sensitive to the sun afterwards?
Your provider will tell you what to be careful about before you leave. Ask if they have not.
What if I only want to try it once?
That is a complete appointment on its own. Book the shorter option and judge it before deciding anything else.
How do I book, and should I book more than one?
Book one through the button on this page. Whether a second is worth it is a question for your provider once they have seen your skin.
