DC Beauty Studio

Yulia is a miracle worker. I have been going to her for almost two years and she has transformed my skin. She also helped me plan my skincare regimen and products, so I’m not wasting money on the wrong stuff anymore. Plus she’s nice as can be and flexible with fitting in appointments. Highly recommend!

Julia is amazing! I’ve been going to her for facials for a few years. My skin has greatly improved after visiting her. I highly recommend her services to any and every one!

I had a very pleasant experience. Julia is knowledgable and gladly shares her recommendations regarding skin care. The ambience is very relaxing. Will be coming back!

This was my first time at DC Beauty Studio and I had a great experience. Yulia was very nice and professional. She took her time to explain what might be beneficial for my skin but without upselling or promoting her product. If you like something done a particular way she is happy to accommodate and has tools to do it. If you are new to the procedure she will make a recommendation based on your skin type. I had a spring facial done and my skin hasn’t been this clean in a long time. Overall it was a relaxing experience which I appreciate. I can’t wait to be back.

I had an appointment for a facial today with Julia who was amazing, however the owner, who does hair was the most rude, racist, ignorant business owner I have ever encountered!!! Julia allowed my husband (who is black) to accompany me in the room while receiving my facial. Yet the owner stopped him from coming upstairs to join me… as my husband was also trying to bring Julia a tip! When I tried to ask the owner why he wouldn’t let my husband up to the room I was in he got very rude and dismissive, very loudly talking over me rather than answering or apologizing for the miscommunication. I was so disappointed in this encounter. His actions were so ignorant I would extremely discourage any persons of color to honor this man with your rendering your services, as you most likely will feel as uncomfortable and discriminated against as we did. He is completely undeserving of anyone’s business at all!!!

I really don’t like to leave bad comments on the places I visited, but this one is a no-​no! my skin hurt even after 2 weeks! and to my surprise, they even did not clean your make-​up on a deep– facial! whaaaaaat? I can still see my eye-​liner melting on my face after the session is up. real shocked to hear her just saying, «oh, you are closing your eyes so I can’t remove your make-​up». excuse me? is that a deep-​clean session without a face clean? very frustrated

I did the facial at the Studio last week, and my skin looks much better. I need a lot of extraction, and it is really hard to find the place where they don’t just apply and remove the product, but do the job. She used brush, vacuum and special tools. I feel that is just what I need for my skin from time to time.

My skin did not look any different than when I walked in. True I had quite a few tiny pimples on my forehead. I had been using Mac foundation the last few months and I believe that it caused my skin to break out and so I decided to discontinue using it that week and thought a microdermabrasion, which I had never had, and a facial, which I had gotten at another salon before, would help. She showed me all the dead skin she removed from the microdermabrasion and then she went on with the facial. After performing a few extractions and completing the facial I looked in the mirror and my face looked bumpy and swolled but I thought ok it looks a little better and I’m sure the swelling and bumpiness is just from tons of extractions she must have done. The extractions were pretty painful but I figured they must have been really deep. During the last facial I had the woman had me sit with the steamer for a long time but this time I was under it for less than a minute and that may have been part of the problem. It may have made them more difficult to extract because my pores weren’t open enough. In any case, over the next three days I noticed that my face did not look glowing and that I still had just as many pimples on my forehead and my face looked dull and not any healthier or glowing. When I had my last facial at this other salon, my skin looked so refreshed and glowing and my boyfriend even commented on how good I looked as I left the salon. Julia asked me as I prepared to leave DC Beauty Studio if I wanted to schedule my next microdermabrasion and if I booked it right then and there I get a discount for paying up front. I did so thinking that there would be results in the next coming days. I e-​mailed after a few days and asked for a refund and Julia said she would issue the refund for the appointment that I had scheduled for the future. So they get a star for the refund. I loved Salon Roi the first time and recommend it. I might just have to go back there.

I had my first deep pore cleansing facial at DC Beauty Studio today and it was fantastic. My skin had been clogged, rough and bumpy looking for a while and I left this facial feeling like my skin could finally breathe again. Really great experience and I’ll be back again soon.

Great experience– my skin was looking really rough, after 2 sessions with Yulia it looks better than it has in many years. Yulia is extremely skilled, a lovely person, and really does an exceptional job. I’ve had a deep cleansing facial (groupon) and a light peel, both were among the best I have ever gotten.

I had a wonderful experience with Julia. She did a great job with my microdermabrasion. She was also a pleasure to chat with during the procedure. It was easy to book an appointment online through her website although the reminder email didn’t have her address which would have been helpful. She’s located in an alley in upper Georgetown on the top floor of a townhouse.

Yulya spent a lot of time with me discussing my goals and her planned treatments for me. I really appreciate her attention to details & also how she tailors the treatment for me. After microdermabrasion my skin is so smooth. I did it only once, but even after the first time the results are noticeable. Will add it on next time for sure. Love my facial there!

TERRIBLE!!!
They sold me two deep cleansing facials and when I tried to redeem it they cancelled the initial facial. When I found a day open to re-​book they said it was outside the rang. Every weekend after my cancelled appointment was booked. Yulia was extremely rude. Never go here!!! Terrible customer service.

This is a one-​woman show, but the woman who is DC Beauty Studio knows her skills and does them exceptionally well. If you find a new customer deal, you should take advantage of it. It is a steal.
True– she asks detailed questions, but if you are sensitive, just let her know. The questions are to help her provide the best services for you. They are not intended to be nosy or judgmental.
Also, the products used are what she recommends as the best. Some places will recommend one line and use another– so which is the ‘best’ in those cases? It is crystal clear here.
The hours are narrower than I would like, but I will bend my schedule for them! This aesthetician is worth it! The prices are fair, and attention to detail is peerless. You will be happy here.
The experience is a little on the no frills end, but not in any way to the detriment of the services provided. Hands down, this place is my new go to for an aesthetician who is skillful, knowledgeable and fair!

Yulia is the best!!! I’ve been going to her for about 5 months now and I have seen improvement in my acne. She just doesn’t give you a facial and make you comfortable, she does soooooooo much more. Yulia kept it real with me about my eating habits, and that I needed to cut back on my sweets because it has a lot to do with my skin condition. She is the best and I will continue to go to her as long as I’m still in the DC area.

Julia was great. I had a deep pore cleansing facial. She was very thorough and knowledgable as to what is best for each skin type. The spa is very relaxed and has a great setting. It’s on the third floor of a Georgetown row house which is also a hair salon. You get a great homey feel when you’re there which is nice. My face looks great and will definitely be going back for additional services in the future.

Another 5 star review. My friends call me picky and I am — about service and beauty. The only places I trust to meet my standards are Blue Mercury, 180salon etc and now DC Beauty Salon. I’ll definitely be back. It was a real facial not a face massage. Just what I need and appreciate. Very knowledgable and friendly.

I just had my first facial with Julia and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results! I have really oily skin and the DC humidity doesn’t help at all. It took me a while to find a good esthetician in DC and I am glad I stumbled upon her. I purchased the groupon for 2 facials and I will be coming back at full price. She is definitely worth every penny!

I purchased a Groupon for a deep pore facial in need of some help with my skin. I ended up adding a chemical peel for an additional $ 45 and am glad I did. 3 days later and I don’t remember the last time my skin looked so good. This is exactly the hole in the wall place I was looking for. Straight to the point no frills excellent service and great price. I was able to gather some really good insight, didn’t feel any judgment, and can’t wait to go back next month.

I found DC Beauty Studio first by looking on Unilocal (of course) and then when I happened upon a Living Social deal for a facial, I decided it was fate. Booking online is so easy and convenient, and while I was booking I decided to add a microdermabrasion. A nice and quiet room tucked way above a hair salon, and it is in the back of a sweet little and almost hidden row of buildings. While I was there I hopped on the deal for pre-​payment of my next appointment, and cannot wait! My skin is glowing and my pores have thanked me over and over and over…
