I'd like to start by noting that I have never visited a skin care/wellness clinic before - so it was extremely important to me to feel comfortable in the space and in the care of professionals. Javan met both of those needs.
I heard about the clinic through a friend and having passed my 30th birthday I figured it's about time for me to start educating myself, but also seek out expertise. I scheduled a skincare consultation to begin.
I saw Kelly today and I have to say it was a very pleasant experience. I was honestly expecting to feel a little ignorant since I am not all too familiar with the plethora of serums, exfoliants, etc. etc. but instead what I received was a thorough education during which I had all of my questions (even the ones I thought were stupid and almost didn't ask) answered and was never made to feel like I was oblivious even though I didn't even know what skin type I have.
Kelly talked to me about my current routine (um Neutrogena and moisturizer?!) and then took me through a full exam of my skin which included me lying down on a very comfortable exam bed and she put something over my eyes and turned on a bright light. She cleaned my face (oh my god what a spa experience there was soft music playing and everything smelled so good) and then went through applying toner, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen so I could understand both the amount to use, how to pat it in (don't rub!), and how long to wait between each product (30 seconds). She then wrote out everything for me such as how many days a week I should be using exfoliant (3x) whether I should use toner twice a day (just once at night for my skin type), etc. and answered all of my questions such as how many times a day I can wash my face, say if I've been working out, walking around all day (DC can get dusty especially with all the current construction on 14th Street where I live), etc.
I'm so glad I finally have an understanding of how to take care of my skin and someone to go to with all of my questions. I honestly would not hesitate to reach out to Kelly at any time. She was so easy to talk to. I scheduled a facial for later this month and will review that too along with the coolsculpting consultation I will receive that same day and the actual appointment for that, which I made for next month.
I have a feeling I'm going to be spending a lot of...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWhat an experience! I absolutely loved Javan and Lydia and Anar were absolutely fantastic! Starting with arrival - I felt "taken care of" from the second I walked into the door (offered water, etc.) and that extended beyond my visit - both Lydia and Anar checked on me post visit just to see how I was enjoying everything. The hydrafacial with Anar was incredible and felt so relaxing and cleansing. She discussed my specific needs/areas of concerns and was SO knowledgeable on the skin and what products/treatments would be best and even how they interact w/ one another. I then got to visit Lydia for some injections and WOW did she know her stuff! She had a facial muscle diagram readily available and explained in very specific detail where/why we were going to treat. Lydia provided a very easy to understand walk through of the different products and what would be best for me. Her injections are a true craft and I was sooo happy with the end result - it looks so natural!
Two of the best parts for me personally was that I felt so comfortable to share my goals and not judged about anything relating to my areas of concern/etc... The other is that I didn't feel that they were trying to force/oversell any product or treatment - which is usually sooo hard to avoid in this industry.
I highly recommend both Anar and Lydia! They are clearly very highly trained professionals and I felt their genuine care and that they truly wanted to help me meet my anti-aging skin goals. Their warm welcome and service was 5-stars and top tier and I am so excited to go back and visit...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreFrom the moment I entered Javan Wellness my good experience started. I rang the doorbell to the secure spa waiting lounge and was greeted by Katie, she was so warm and welcoming. She brought me into the real spa feeling experience. She took my jacket and offered me sparkling water. The waiting area lounge is so well decorated from the beautiful chandelier to their tasteful wall decor, it really brings the relaxation desired before a treatment of any kind. From greeting to checking out she was wonderful. She even suggested two skin care products that she personally uses and consulted with one of the nurses. Nurse Anar pleasantly and willingly gave her professional opinion, even though I was not her client(Yet!). The skin products have made a huge difference in one day, completely reviving the moisture in my dry areas. I was quickly taken back by Nurse Lydia who greeted me with a smile. She took her time introducing herself and thoroughly going through my background and we discussed medication and allergies. Lydia made me feel VIP. I canāt wait to see her again! I have been to other spas to recieve botox that felt like a drive-thru clinic. They would be shuffling patients in and out in 5 minutes. At Javan I was told what to expect, what results to look for and I was actually looked at as a valuable customer. I received the first time discount and was rewarded a great discount on my first visit. I absolutely will be back. I have never been excited for my Botox to ware off before, but coming to Javan is...
