Spa Mesu

I’ve being going to Mesu for nearly 10 years now. I love everything about her! I’ve never had a cut I didn’t love! She listens to what I want and duplicates it. Her prices are fair too. Can’t say enough about her!

SPA MESU IS THE BEST!!!
Décor/​ambiance and classy touch. The energy and atmosphere is superb… soothing music.
I drive by the salon/​spa frequently and I always had meant to google this place. Since 2014, I had read reviews and visited the website… and kept telling myself I was going to make an appointment.
FINALLY!!!
2015:
I contacted the salon on July 18, 2015, to schedule an appointment… I was able to be seen the same day at 2:30pm. I arrived 20 minutes before my appointment and when I walked in the energy was beaming to me… positive reinforcement, beautiful paint colors, lavish décor, beautiful art on the walls. white hand towels in the restroom I was REALLY impressed with the clean atmosphere and clean salon/​spa.
I was greeted by the receptionist and she offered me tea, coffee, or water… I chose the water and remind you it was HOT out there today. The receptionist came back with my water in a glass… NICE…I was impressed again. She had me complete a questionnaire in regards to your skin/​nails. I apologize to the receptionist, I did not get her name but she was very polite and nice.
She informed me that Tasha would be with me shortly…
Ms. Mesu (owner) greeted me as well and told me that she was the lady on the phone that scheduled my appointment… I remembered her voice… she was so pleasant on the phone as well as in person.
She informed me that Tasha would be providing the service for my Manicure/​Pedicure. While I was patiently waiting… I kept looking at my feet thinking that they were WAY OUT DATED! My feet were tired some swelling and who knows what else.
Just a few minutes later… I was greeted by Tasha (Nail Technician)…her smile and warm embrace was welcoming… I went in with rough… cracked feet, yellow bleached toes from cheap quality nail polish that had made my toe nails so hard and yellow and even cracks on my toe nails. My heels were rough, janky, cuticles were damaged and down into and under some of my toe nails… my feet were tore down… all jacked up…
WOW, wow, wow, did Tasha not take my feet back to brand NEW! It was like she gave me new feet. my feet are soft now, nails are clean and immaculate conception… toe nails are so pure and white… just like they are supposed to be and look. I truly tell you she takes her time and she is a creative masterpiece in what she does. She applies the nail polish like an artist… smooth bright radiance colors and nails polish and feet on are point. NO DOUBT!
Manicure is top notch… this is top shelf here! Superior quality… my Manicure/​Pedicure looks like the pictures in the magazine.
Every two weeks I will be a frequent client…
See you in two weeks, Tasha thank you!
Tasha you are the best!
Ms. Mesu you are like my mom… love your salon/​spa is so warm and inviting.

I am a woman with short funky hair and Consuelo gave me one of the best cuts I’ve ever had. She checked in with me often to make sure everything was perfect. Also, everyone who works there is extremely polite and helpful. Definitely my new salon!

I saw Consuelo for my first appointment here and was very pleased with my «Robin Wright» pixie haircut. I can’t recall exactly what I paid, but it was fair. A nice experience.

This sophisticated salon is far removed from the loud, bustling hipster places where all the staff fancies themselves cosmopolitan creatures to be revered. Mesu is a tranquil, attentive, purposeful, skilled stylist, and that is the essence of the entire spa. Getting my haircut here is like a getaway to an elegant, peaceful oasis. The scalp massage during shampooing is heavenly. My naturally curly, sometimes long hair responds well to the techniques and products Mesu employs. I always feel a sense of relief from what i came in with while the hair is falling away. I’m always pleased with the result and the experience. Highly recommend Spa Mesu.

I went to Spa Mesu and Consuelo took care of me last Friday. I was not sure if she was able to help me cause my hair was a mess thanks to my last visit to a different hair salon where they burnt my hair. My head was divided in two sections, up my real color and down an ugly white-​yellow-​ish blond. It was breaking and falling off. Consuelo colored the blond-​ish part and added some thin highlight on the top, cut a bit (couple of inches maybe less) and the result was amazing! She really did a great job, even the boss was surprised of the final result. The price was a bit high for me, but taking into account all the work and the results, I found it fair enough.
I highly recommend this place. And I am very picky choosing the person who is gonna take care of my hair, so I would not recommend any bad stylist to anyone.
I will show you the results I got in Spa Mesu despite I do not like to show photos of myself hehe.

I was given one of those Spa Week gift certificates and really wanted to get a facial. After checking around to see which places had Spa Week offers, I settled on Spa Mesu. I couldn’t be happier about finding this place! It’s clean and provides a quiet and peaceful atmosphere for a facial. I’ve only met a few of the staff but all are extremely friendly. My facial was done by Rashida and I totally recommend her. I’ve been going for a few months now and look forward to every visit.

Absolutely awesome! The spa was clean and neat and fashionable and contemporary. The staff were all professional, very welcoming. offered wine, juice or water while waiting. The owner of the establishment was very gracious, very nice in the way that she spoke with us and met out needs. Rasheeda was absolutely amazing. Rasheeda is absolutely amazing for any sort of waxing she is professional gentle also very funny very personable totally makes me wanna go back for a spa day. my girlfriends and I are going to go back. I truly recommend this establishment. The prices are also fairly priced for the services and it’s a little gem in the heart of downtown Silver Spring.

This was a pleasant surprise. I only found out about them via spa week and I’m glad I came. It’s a peaceful full service salon (massage, nails, wax, facial, hair). The atmosphere is nice and clean with soothing music. I got a full body massage (very relaxing, the pressure was not to hard, the room was pretty quite, I wanted to fall asleep) and a mani/​pedi (equally awesome, my feet feel super smooth they were rough going in) I also got a paraffin treatment which helped. Both the nail technician and the massage therapist were very friendly and professional. Although I got a deal for spa week the regular prices are very affordable and I will be going back!

After seeing a good haircut on my friend by Mesu, I went to her place to get my hair cut. I was in and out in around 35 minutes. They offered me coffee, tea, etc. Mesu is very skilled. After asking my wishes, she offered a couple of helpful suggestions and she did a great job. I’ll definitely be coming back here. The price was very reasonable.

Aleesha did my manicure and Rashida did my facial. Loved it!
Ambiance: Very relaxing, spacious, and clean.
The manicure was so nice! They have an ok selection of colors to choose from and the entire process took almost (if not more) a full hour. Aleesha was absolutely amazing. She was very knowledgeable about nail care, took her time, and gave me some really good nail maintenance tips. I will definitely be back to see her!
My hour long facial was also a great experience. Rashida was very gentle and gave me a skin analysis and some helpful recommendations for my skin type. My skin looked great and it still feels awesome.
Sidenote: They offered tea or coffee and the coffee was a cinnamon and herbs blend and it may have been the best coffee I’ve ever had. You have to try it!
Loved this spa and I’ll be back soon!

I had a facial at Mesu. The spa is very clean and comfortable. They use a very good brand of products. Rashida was working on me and she did a fantastic job — very professional and knowledgeable. I had a very pleasant and relaxing experience. I will definitely go back.

I have now been to see Mesu twice and have had a wonderful experience both times. She is kind and listens thoughtfully and gives a great haircut, in a relaxing atmosphere, at a very reasonable price.

Mesu has been giving me fabulous hair cuts and color for almost two years. She is an expert colorist! My hair is short and wavy and I get many compliments from colleagues and friends. I also get my manicures and pedicures at Spa Mesu. Aleesha is a very talented manicurist and she gave me my first gel polish manicure a few weeks ago. As Aleesha promised, my nails sparkled for two weeks! I’m so happy a friend recommended Spa Mesu to me.

Had a coupon for this place so I decided to try it. I’m not fussy about my hair and normally get a very no-​nonsense cut at Hair Cuttery. Even with the coupon, I was paying more than I do at HC, but this is obviously an upscale place so I figured it would be worth it. The staff took the coupon, no problem there. But when I requested long layers in the back, the hairdresser said layers weren’t included in the «basic cut» that the coupon was for. Whatever! — I get long layers at HC all the time and they don’t charge me extra. Another thing that was odd was the lady spent about 10 minutes actually cutting my hair, and about 20 minutes blow-​drying it. Not sure how she cut it so fast, but the extensive blow-​drying ended up making my hair look a bit fried. The cut was okay but nothing special. No way would I pay full price here. Sorry, but Spa Mesu just didn’t do it for me.

I was given a gift certificate for Xmas for a massage, have been calling the spa for the past 6 months and every time I called I was told that there will be a masseuse available in a month, two weeks etc. Six months later still nothing. Decided to use the gift certificate to get a Brazilian instead, the lady who did it had no idea what she was doing, she used honey wax with strips which for anyone who has ever had a Brazilian knows you only use hard wax, I was so sore and pain for hours afterwards. Was the worse experience I have ever had. I do not recommend going here

I’m afraid to say I’ve been an unloyal customer of other places in Silver Spring – just was not finding what I needed, particularly on a student budget. Finally tried Spa Mesu ready to just fork over some real $$ for a good haircut. What a pleasant surprise though – I have been getting fab cuts now with Mesu for totally affordable and comparable prices. Plus who else gives you wonderful tea or coffee and conversation, too? Mesu is a gem.

With one exception, this was the best haircut OF MY LIFE. I am going on 10 weeks since the cut (going in this week). It was a gorgeous cut and grew out beautifully. When I pull it into a ponytail, it STILL looks like the ends were just cut yesterday.
I was referred to mesu by my dentist, and holy crap am I glad I listened. This woman is a true artist. She sized up my hair, asked me in depth questions about the look I wanted and how I’d be planning to wear it… and she went to work! She layered and snipped and shaped, and then washed, and went through it again… doing one last round of angling and texturing my bangs again when my hair was dry again. It was the most thorough, careful haircut I’ve ever had. I don’t think I had one hair even a centimeter off.
And…there isn’t anything I can even say about the color… see the pics for yourself. All I can say is I received more compliments over the last two months than for all my cut-​n-​colors combined.
Be prepared to be in there a good two hours easy for cut and color… she does NOT rush you… and she keeps trimming until it lays and falls and swings just right.
I have found my stylist for as long as I live in the DMV. Period.

I went to Salon Mesu because it is close to my house and received good reviews.
My haircut was with Consuela who didn’t talk at all, but that is fine with me. I asked her to cut my hair shorter in the back and longer in the front at about chin length. She seemed to have been confused and gave me a mullet. Not only did I have a mullet, but she cut the mullet differently on either side of my head! It was two different haircuts. I didn’t completely realize this until I went home and inspected it. I called Salon Mesu and asked if I could please come back in and have it fixed. They were very nice and Consuela attempted to fix it, but to no avail. At least it was a little more even between the two sides and the mullet wasn’t as drastic, but it was still uneven and not at all what I asked for. I ended up going to another salon to have it fixed.

Bravo Spa Mesu! You are a high-​end, high class salon with wonderful prices and service.
I needed Spa Mesu and didn’t realize it until I sat and relaxed while drinking Ethiopian coffee (cinnamon, cloves, etc infused) and let Mesu treat me well.
My cut is quite short, spiky, and unusual — Mesu had a blast with it — even telling me how she’s seen me in the neighborhood and had admired my hair and look.
There is no question — I have found my new local hairstylist — woo hoo!
