The Fountains Day Spa

Sumptuous Day Spas for Ma

Northern Virginia Living May 2008

Fountains Day Spa
Set in a centuries-old Alexandria townhouse in the historic Old Town area, Fountains (422 S. Washington St., Alexandria; 703-549-1990; www.fountainsdayspa.net) lives up to its promise of a cheery atmosphere and a friendly staff.
Decorated in citrus tones, the spa (no salon services like haircuts or manicures here) is haven of relaxation. Owner Suzanne Olsen (trained in London and Paris) does her absolute utmost to make sure her clients are happy with their therapists as well as their treatments.
The only stressor here? Selection of service. Choose from four types of facials ($90 each) ranging from the Hydradermie (infuses skin with nourishment, hydration and anti-aging ingredients) the Beaute Neuve skin peel to toning treatment Liftosome to the relaxing Aromatic, which features a uniquely customized blend of essential oils.
Those especially craving spiritual and sensory spa healing will go for the Harmony package, which may include any of the following: energy work, reflexology, reiki, or intuitive bodywork. Therapists effectively customize each individual massage to meet the specific needs of each individual client (50 minutes, $105).
Fans of more traditional techniques, however, can also indulge in Swedish ($85) or deep-tissue ($95) services or a combination of the two approaches on troubled areas (a mean ticket tag of only $90).
Best bets when booking for Mom? Check the website frequently. Fountains offers a sign up for daily specials email and posts seasonal discounts ( a nearly $300 savings on a 12-massage package, for example), plus a 10 percent-off coupon for first-timers

2008 More Spas We Love

Washingtonian February 2008

Holistic Haven

Fountains Day Spa The Fountains Day Spa is an intimate, homey retreat for those who don’t mind a dose of holistic advice with their facial; owner Suzanne Olsen might urge a client to switch from antiperspirant to aluminum-free deodorant or “read” a client’s personality through her feet. (Our reviewer was told that her big toe showed she used her brain, though a troubling curve hinted that she was “overbearing.”) Still, clients are well cared for, and our reviewer’s facial was good.

2007 Top Day Spas

Northern Virginia Living May 2007

Fountains Day Spa
This old town spa is easy to miss if you are not looking - and their high profile clientele prefers it that way. Owner, Suzanne Olsen keeps the faces of area celebrities camera-ready and advises on everything from nutrition to relaxation techniques. The Guinot Hydradermie facials are often combined with reflexology for what amounts to a full body intervention. Loyal customers bring their teens for skin care education and treatment. Boys have been known to sneak in the back door for their facials. They know Suzanne won't exfoliate and tell.
