The lockers in the elegant dressing rooms are big enough to hold a shopping bag or two, and the cushy slippers and thick terry robes are as cozy as it gets. Tired from a day at the department stores? Head to the spa at the Ritz-Carlton in Tysons Galleria (the hotel’s doors are next to the Burberry store).

The Still Point, 7009 Carroll Ave., lower level, Takoma Park 24. One unusual service: group acupuncture “happy hours” in which clients have five needles placed along each ear “to detox, calm, and drain unnecessary energy.” There are two sessions a week: $30 if you walk in, $20 if you register online. She also offers classes in tai chi, yoga, and couples massage. Organic herbal tea rounds out the experience.Īmong the 14 practitioners are a holistic-nutrition counselor, a life coach, an herbalist, and an acupuncturist who does facial rejuvenation “as an alternative to Botox,” Paide says. Therapists inquire about health and advise on problem spots. Popular with locals, the massages are praised as thorough and attentive with a focus more on healing than on momentary enjoyment.

The new Still Point spa in Takoma Park has done so well since its July 4 opening that owner and acupuncturist Tori Paide expanded last month to six treatment rooms plus the Sole Door, a space for leg and foot massage with touches of reflexology, where she plans to add pedicures that use natural polishes. Salon Jean & Day Spa, 7945 MacArthur Blvd., Cabin John 30. During the 60-minute, $95 aromatherapy facial, esthetician Sima Troncone not only cleansed, exfoliated, extracted, and creamed every facial inch, but while a mask worked, she did a neck, shoulder, arm, hand, leg, and foot massage. Salon Jean & Day Spa is small, but the service is huge at this gem tucked into a Cabin John strip mall. (Our reviewer was told her large big toe showed she used her brain, though a troubling curve hinted she was “overbearing.”) Still, clients are well cared for, and our reviewer’s facial was good. The Fountains Day Spa is an intimate, homey retreat for those who don’t mind a dose of holistic advice with their facial owner Suzanne Olsen might urge a client to switch from antiperspirant to aluminum-free deodorant or “read” a client’s personality through her feet. Music by choice, a well-padded massage table, and low-key therapists comfortable switching from deep tissue to Swedish all conspire toward a spa experience a cut above the rest. If you like your day spa to be as design-driven as the rest of your life, try SomaFit, a spa/health club where pop shades of cobalt, orange, and white make for a high-energy backdrop, treatment rooms have spiffy Asian-style wooden slats on the ceilings, and even the super-clean showers-think ultramodern fixtures and tinted green glass-are chic. Perez Salon and Spa, 5 Wisconsin Cir., Chevy Chase 30. As you leave the spa, you’ll find a dish filled with dark chocolate and healthier snacks. It helps that everything is sparkling new and the staff is enthusiastic. It is easy to relax under such ministrations. This follows cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, and other creams and potions designed to fight signs of aging.

The new Perez Salon and Spa near the Collection at Chevy Chase offers a chocolate facial that uses the warmth of the cocoa mixture to help the skin absorb a vitamin-C serum that goes on before.
