A Studio Built for DC Skin

A Single-Room Studio Built on Skin Health

At Skin In The Game DC, you work directly with one dual-licensed esthetician, certified in the TOMA Essential Skin Therapy method and licensed in both DC and California. Every appointment is one-on-one, in a private studio, with no rotating staff and no upselling. Whether you're driving down Connecticut Avenue from Cleveland Park between meetings or hopping the Red Line for a same-day facial after work, the experience is consistent.

Our products and protocols are intentionally limited to TOMA, a clean professional line built around results-driven actives and proper skin-barrier support. The shelf at most spas is a sales catalog. The shelf here is a curated tool kit. Learn more about how we work.

Why Cleveland Park Clients Drive Here

Why Cleveland Park Skin Clients Choose Skin In The Game DC

Cleveland Park has plenty of well-reviewed neighborhood services along Connecticut Avenue, but a true single-room facial studio with a dual-licensed esthetician and a single curated product line is harder to find. Most spas in this part of DC rotate clients through multiple providers and stock several competing brands on the shelf. We do the opposite: one esthetician, one professional skincare line, and a treatment plan built around your skin instead of a product menu. It's a setup designed to produce real progress over time, not a one-off pampering session.

Same-day appointments are routinely available, and parking is inside the building, so you skip the Connecticut Avenue meter scramble entirely. Because the studio is a single room with one provider, the person who books your appointment is the person performing your treatment. If you're newer to facials and want a starting point, the complete guide to aging skin care and the comprehensive acne treatment guide for adults are both useful primers before you book.

Around the Neighborhood

Explore Cleveland Park Before or After Your Facial

Cleveland Park is the kind of neighborhood worth turning into a half-day. The Connecticut Avenue strip from the Metro down to Cathedral Avenue is dense with cafes, restaurants, and independent shops, and it's the easiest stretch to wander before or after a treatment. If you're new to the area, the Cleveland Park commercial district guide is a useful place to start.

Within a few blocks of the Cleveland Park Metro you can spend the morning at the Smithsonian's National Zoo, wander the trails of Rock Creek Park, or tour the grounds of the Washington National Cathedral. All three sit at the western edge of the neighborhood and pair easily with a facial appointment downtown.

After a morning along Connecticut Avenue or in Rock Creek Park, the Red Line at Cleveland Park station drops you at Farragut North in roughly 6 minutes, and our spa is a 2-minute walk from there. If you're driving, the same Connecticut Avenue corridor that anchors the neighborhood feeds straight into our block. Either way, getting from Cleveland Park to your appointment is about as simple as a DC trip gets.
