SEE NEW JOINT LISTING (Bang Salon & Aura spa U Street)

Peter is the best masseuse I’ve truly ever had. His techniques — pressure points, breath work, and ending visualization — relaxed my body and stilled my mind. He creates an open dialogue by checking in about pressure and temperature. He eased my tight traps/shoulders without any pain, and achieved my ideal massage mixing therapeutic with intentional relief.

I had one of the best massages of my life with Peter at this spa! The spa itself is in a super convenient location (though parking can be tricky), and tucked into the back corner of the Vida Gym on U Street. As a member at the Vida, I was able to use my initiation fee credit towards a 60 minute massage ($130). Peter was my masseuse, and made my experience incredible. He was kind, communicative, and was able to give me an amazing very deep tissue massage, which I've had trouble finding therapists who are able to do so in the past. Would 100% come back to Peter at this location and would recommend others to do the same!

I have been coming to Aura spa for over a year for facials with Karen. I was thoroughly impressed with the results of the facial treatment. My skin feels incredibly smooth and revitalized, with a noticeable reduction in any dullness or blemishes. The treatment provided a fresh and glowing complexion, and the attention to detail was exceptional. Overall, the experience was both relaxing and effective, leaving my face looking and feeling rejuvenated.

Gene was great! I love Aura spas because the vibe is so relaxing (once you get through the gym), they really take care of you, it's affordable, and they can often see you same day. Gene really got into a trouble area on my neck, while still giving me a 45 minute full body massage. Not easy! I was sore the next day, as you expect, but he gave me good tips to help counteract that. Gene is really good at mixing Thai massage elements (moving your body) with deep tissue. Gene is best if you're looking for deep pressure, not necessarily a gentle touch. Loved it and will be back!

Excellent spa located within a gym. Easily accessible. Clean, good spa-like vibes and fully professional team. They do a good job of sending reminder and check-in texts. I would also like to recommend Jenna, specifically. Came to her with severe knots in my back built up over a long period. I went to her once and she spent 75 minutes focused on one area of my back (per my request). The knots were so bad I came back two weeks later to Jenna. She did not disappoint but my back was so bad I needed to come back for a third session two days later. Three sessions in three weeks is a testament to her amazing skill. She was able to successfully make the biggest difference after trying several other remedies. Can't say enough about Jenna.
