ExploreAt 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 stepping away from the diplomatic corridor for a midday facial or planning a treatment series after work, the experience stays the same every visit.
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.
Embassy Row has its share of high-end salons, day spas, and wellness studios catering to the diplomatic and residential community along Massachusetts Avenue. What's harder to find in the neighborhood is a true one-on-one facial studio where every appointment is performed by the same dual-licensed esthetician, in a private room, using a single curated professional product line. That's the gap we fill.
Same-day availability is the norm, not the exception, and parking inside our building means you skip the perpetual hunt for a curbside spot near Mass Ave. Because there's only one room and one esthetician, the person you book with is the person who works on your skin. If you want to plan ahead, our spa packages bundle multiple treatments at a discount, and our Glow Membership covers monthly facials at a member rate.
