Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spas

I just spent an evening at this Red Door and would have to say that it is definitely the best in the area (over Tyson's and Reston) but... Downside: It is super hard to get an appointment here on the fly. Although the spa looks huge, it only has three treatment rooms (I overheard an employee say this). Be prepared to pay for parking. They were literally running me out and shutting the lights after me. It was only 7 PM and they close right at 7 PM. The tip situation was weird. Give the tip directly to the employee to make sure that they get it. Upside: YES they do offer you cranberry juice, dried bananas, pretzels, apples, Andes mints and sesame sticks. They have a fully stocked changing room so you could keep all your shampoos, Q tips, mouthwash, razors at home and come after work. Sarah was a good massage therapist but she sounded like she might be leaving soon. Evangelina was an above average nail tech. more

If you want a great spa treatment the Red Door Spas is a wonderful place for a relaxing experience. The massage here always put me at ease. I wish it didn’t cost so much but the experience is worth the price. This location is located in Pentagon row, so it is very convenient to the Metro. more

I spent a half day here for my birthday and by the end of it, I was so ready for bed! The massage was great (thanks Petr!) as were the pedicure and manicure, but I was completely spent after being there for so long! The staff was super nice and constantly asking if I needed anything and after my experience I refused to answer to anything but "Miss Mary" for about a week. Wish I could afford to go back more often! more
