Beauty & Spas in Manassas

Specializing in eyebrow threading, Dream Spa N Salon tends to all manner of aesthetic issues with services for the hair, nails, and skin. The salon hosts styling and coloring sessions punctuated by custom hues. And on the spa side of things, team members slow down Father Time by providing four distinct facials, performing waxing and threading services, and remembering to slap every grandfather clock in the face.

If mirrors on the wall could talk, they might recommend that the reflected subject consider a new look, and a fresh, people-oriented approach to conversation.

Scalp massages are free with non-chemical services.

The specialists at Metropolitan Med Spa wield a broad arsenal of modern tools and call upon extensive training to mend a wide variety of skin imperfections and lead clients to epidermal excellence. Their trio of lasers eradicates unwanted hair from a spectrum of complexions, emitting bursts of cryogen to keep skin comfy as their high-intensity light zeroes in on follicles like a bloodhound hunting a winning lottery ticket. The focused beams of light also power skin-resurfacing treatments that target hyperpigmentation and fine lines around the mouth and eyes.

For laser-free skin enhancement, four tailored facials call on the skin-nourishing ingredients of Caudalie skincare salves. Inspired by the lush vineyards of the creator's Bordeaux home, these paraben-free products battle signs of aging with ingredients extracted from grapes and their stalks, vines, and sap.

Dr. Timothy S. Mountcastle, medical director of Radiance Medspa Fairfax and chief of plastic surgery at Inova Loudoun Hospital, urges the Radiance Medspa staff to examine their clients’ diet and lifestyle when evaluating their skincare needs. His team takes a big-picture approach to wellness and helps clients with long-lasting, youth-boosting treatments, including microdermabrasion, teeth whitening, massage, and Botox. Before appointments, patrons can unwind in a tranquility room where troubles melt away like a pat of butter on a piping-hot dragon tongue.

Since 1973, each of Sport&Health's 24 clubs has aimed for full fitness coverage with programs for every taste and family member. Guests can spark positive lifestyle changes with gym workouts and wellness services, or engage in a variety of sports. Each facility houses different athletic amenities for games and laps, from pristine swimming pools to squash and racquetball courts lathered in a fresh coat of peanut butter every morning. The camaraderie of group classes such as Zumba and Les Mills BodyPump barbell routines complement scores of gym equipment meant for exercising solo—or with the guidance of a certified personal trainer. The clubs also emphasize kid-friendly activities with arts and crafts, Kidz Klub childcare, and youth certification courses that teach teens the ins and outs of training. Depending on the location, spa treatments can knead tension from muscles and paint one's favorite kettlebell with a layer of Shellac.

As its name implies, Spa World blends the spa traditions of diverse cultures into a contemporary oasis dedicated to total-body relaxation. The 50,000-square-foot, modernized jimjilbang—a traditional Korean bathhouse—admits guests 24 hours per day, seven days a week, giving them up to 12 hours of open access to a bade pool, a sauna, a fitness center, and seven poultice rooms.

One of the spa’s many focal points is the bade pool, which targets sore muscles with nine water-blasting massage stations, including a neck shower and a bench jet that sprays high-pressure water onto feet, calves, waists, and sides to increase blood circulation. Nudity is required to keep the pool free of clothing-based contaminants. Blue onyx, amethyst gems, and ice arch overhead in the seven poultice rooms, each of which is artfully decorated and designed to detoxify bodies. Rare substances comprise the walls and ceilings; Korean red clay radiates purifying bio-infrared rays, and salt rocks imported from the Himalayas expand pores. To nourish guests who choose to remain for the day pass’s full 12 hours, the onsite restaurant sometimes pilfers these salt rocks to help flavor its authentic Asian cuisine.
