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 slipping out for a same-day facial after a morning at the National Zoo or planning a treatment series around your work week downtown, 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.
Woodley Park has plenty of hotel spas, gym amenities, and salon-style services tucked along Connecticut Avenue, but a real one-on-one facial studio with a dual-licensed esthetician and a single curated product line is harder to find. Most options either rotate practitioners across many treatment types or push retail bundles at every visit. Our setup is the opposite. One esthetician, one studio room, one product line, and a treatment plan that gets adjusted across visits as your skin actually responds.
Same-day appointments are usually open, and parking inside our building means you skip the Connecticut Avenue meter hunt entirely. Because the booker is also the performer, scheduling and treatment continuity stay consistent across visits. If you're working through a longer goal, the multi-session packages make the math easier, and our guide to microchanneling for acne scars and texture walks through how the protocol stacks across appointments.
Woodley Park is one of those uptown DC pockets that clients turn into a half-day. Brunch on Connecticut Avenue, a long walk through the zoo, then a slow trip south for a facial. Our Woodley Park commercial district guide covers the spots regulars rotate through.
The neighborhood's biggest pull is the Smithsonian's National Zoo, free to enter and a 163-acre walk straight up Connecticut Avenue. Just east, Rock Creek Park opens into 32 miles of urban hiking and biking trails along the creek valley. To the west, the Washington National Cathedral sits on Mt. Saint Albans, a short trip uphill toward Cleveland Park.
When you're ready to head down for your appointment, the trip is short. Connecticut Avenue runs as a clean line south across the Taft Bridge through Dupont Circle and into the Farragut Square business district, where we sit one block off the avenue at 1725 I Street NW. The full driving and transit options are below.
