FALL FASHION Fall is in the air here in the Old Town Boutique District! Although everything looks a bit different this year, as always we have you covered from head to toe or tail in some cases! Our boutiques, fitness studios & salons are masked and ready to kick off the fall season in OT! Whether you are shopping for the kiddos virtual debut or Fido needs a new look, our kids boutiques & pet spa are a must! Find the hottest fall accessory...the mask chain to complement any of our fabulous fall looks at our fashion & jewelry boutiques! Fitness is always in season and our studios are sanitized and ready to get you in shape after a long summer! Stay tuned for a fun late September event (think Masquerade). We want to continue to bring you the fun fall experience this year while keeping the community safely distanced. It’s more important than ever to support your local businesses! We appreciate you, our community so much! Stay well, Megan Podolsky, OTBD President

Never Shave Again! Did you know Fall is the BEST time to start Laser Hair Removal? Why? Because in order to receive safe and effective treatments, you need to be at your base (natural) skin tone, and it takes several months of treatments to destroy all the hair! Getting started now, or as soon as your tan fades, let’s you get all your treatments in during the cold months and by next summer, you’ll never have to shave again! We are excited to get you started on your journey to smooth, hair-free skin! | Call us! 703.549.0911

The Modern Shag! We’re loving the texture that a full bang gives and when paired with pieced out, long lived-layers, it’s modern perfection. Hit the refresh button because this new edgy cut will instantly gift your hair new texture and life. With this new look, we’d also love to introduce you to dry conditioner which will give your hair moisture without weighing down your volume and keep your shag photo ready. Only question is, are you ready to get your shag on?
