HALLOWEEN Halloween is in the air in Old Town, Alexandria! The Old Town Boutique District has you covered for all things spooky (and no, we’re not talking about the pandemic!), cozy, and, of course, fall. Our boutiques, fitness studios, salons & pet spas, and restaurants are masked and ready to kick off Halloween in OT! Whether you’re looking for something comfy cozy or chic must-haves, our boutiques have fabulous options for everyone. Top off your look with a stylish new ‘do and fall-inspired jewelry (or even make your own!) Our restaurants are ready to [safely] celebrate Oktober with barre, brews, and beer gardens. And while we might not be able to trick-or-treat this year, you can still get fun Halloween accessories for yourself and the kiddos at our shops! Even though the warm weather is starting to fade, it’s so important to get out (in person or virtually) and support your local businesses. And thank you to all who continue to do so! Wishing you an October filled with lots of treats, no tricks.
xoxo

Halloween Masks Sure you may wear a mask each Halloween, but there should be no need to mask your skin every day with makeup! If you have skin damage, let us help you repair it and be on your journey to smooth, clear skin. We can help remove sun spots, tighten the skin, and correct texture flaws with our radio frequency texture correction. Call today to schedule your consultation and learn how the experts at Izalia Laser Spa can help!
