Paris Alexander Day Spa

Paris Alexander Day Spa is a facial-focused skincare studio tucked above street level in a Dupont Circle brownstone on R Street NW, run by founder and Master Esthetician Paris Alexander since 1994. The business is built around facials and peels as its signature work, using face mapping to assess skin before treatment and plant-based product lines chosen for how they perform rather than how they smell or look.

The menu runs nine treatments deep, including an Oxygen Rx Facial, LED light therapy via Celluma, a lip treatment mask, revitalizing foot scrub, back exfoliation and a sensory eye mask. Beyond skin work, the spa also offers massage therapy and reflexology, with therapists adjusting pressure and pacing through the session based on what they find. Series bookings of three or six facial treatments are available for clients working toward a specific skin goal over time.

This is a reservation-required studio with no walk-ins and no day pass, so anyone wanting to visit needs to book ahead through the website or by phone. Hours run Wednesday through Friday from 10am to 8pm and weekends from 9am to 6pm, with the spa closed Monday and Tuesday. It's not adults-only, and gender-specific hours don't apply here.

Location-wise, this sits in Northwest D.C., accessible above street level inside the Vogel Realty Building. Street parking in Dupont Circle is limited, so the spa recommends Metro or one of the paid garages on Connecticut Ave NW if driving. The spa occasionally runs small group wellness events and keeps a mailing list for early notice on those. Price tier lands at the upscale end of the scale.
